  1. already opened on GameStop Opening Deus Ex Boxes, Removing Free Game Coupon · · Score: 1

    game discs and manuals are usually stored in a separate location to the box for security.

    so it would be technically opening the plastic pouch and removing the coupon.

  2. ping on NASA Creating Laser Communication System For Mars · · Score: 1

    latency will suck though

  3. another component on Hand-Mounted Sonar For the Blind · · Score: 2

    this is one component closer to my superhero costume.

  4. Radio Allergy on What If Aliens Came To Save the Galaxy From Mankind? · · Score: 1

    What if Aliens were allergic to the radio signals coming from earth, and they wanted to "switch it off"

  5. Not broke? on Canada To Adopt On-Line Voting? · · Score: 1

    If only a minority of people vote for a system called democracy then that system is broken as everyone should have their say in some aspects of society even if choosing the leader is of no interest to them. Online voting will give people a more targeted say in what they want to choose.

  6. Tomes on Notch Asks For Trial By Combat · · Score: 1

    He should just rename it to "Ancient Tomes" and be done with it!

  7. Re:Wrong, repeating myth on Why PCs Trump iPads For User Innovation · · Score: 1

    the trend will then be to treat computers like tools, tools that have to be maintained by the user; like in the case of a craftsman bringing his own tools to work.

    then a corporation would save on tech support. you cannot use your tool? then you are incompetent at your job.

    they would also save on machines, if people had to bring their own machines to work.

  8. Re:Please set up and use a documented procedure on Fired Techie Created Virtual Chaos At Pharma Co. · · Score: 1

    Or set up a well documented maintenance plan as a sysadmin, and take that document with you when you leave.

  9. keep alive on Fired Techie Created Virtual Chaos At Pharma Co. · · Score: 1

    wouldn't it be more worthwhile setting up an infrastructure which constantly needs you expertise to stay running, the day you are not there to enter the magic code then "boom". then you could successfully claim having not touched the system after your contract is up. it would have to not be a time bomb but some kind of bash commands which you enter from memory every morning.

  10. Bootable DVD games on Microsoft and Nvidia Abandon PC Gaming Alliance · · Score: 1

    Clearly games which boot from DVD are the way to go, NVidia could ally itself with a Linux distro which can autoconfig the optimal configuration and launch the game. Save games could be online.

  11. Here's a marketing strategy on Witcher 2 Torrents Could Net You a Fine · · Score: 1

    Create a game that you intended to give away free anyways, but instead create a flashy website showing off the gameplay with a $60 price tag.

    Release the torrent yourself, then later on create DLCs that must be installed via the software for a cost.

  12. Merge Kinect and Virtualboy on Wii 2 Unlikely For 2011, Maybe In 2012 · · Score: 1
  13. Google already work like a bank on Google Scares Aussie Banks · · Score: 1

    They are agressively investing in smaller firms that have the potential to make a profit.

    They just need to open that strategy to smaller ideas and the banks are in trouble.

  14. Re:The problem with Linux is not the kernel! on Linux 2.6.36 Released · · Score: 1

    Linux IS the kernel. I think what you are refering to is GNU/Linux Bitch!! ;)

    gmail

  16. In no timeframe? on TheSpaceGame — Design Your Route To Jupiter · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So basically just avoid the other planets along the way, and go the slowest speed imaginable?

  17. future iphone support on Epic Games Predicts Console, Mobile Convergence · · Score: 1

    they are envisioning a multiple platform sdk, which is currently only available from Unity.

    I`m sic of this!

  20. Re:Store in a water tower on In Oregon, Wind Power Surges Disrupting Grid · · Score: 1

    just disconnect it from the source, it'll discharge then reconnect it electronically. I'm sure there plenty of circuit diagrams for that kinda stuff.

  21. Re:Store in a water tower on In Oregon, Wind Power Surges Disrupting Grid · · Score: 1

    hopefully the wind will subside and the capacitor will top up the under-capacity.

  22. Re:Store in a water tower on In Oregon, Wind Power Surges Disrupting Grid · · Score: 1

    Or just put a capacitor on each wind turbine.

  23. Re:Now watch the New Zealand Software Industry boo on Software Now Un-Patentable In New Zealand · · Score: 1

    NZ may become a safe haven for innovative Linux distros.

  24. problem solved on Paperless Tickets Flourish Despite 'Grandma Problem' · · Score: 1

    Dutch Auction. Set the ticket prices at $2000 at first. and the price is lowered depending on website traffic.

    That way the touts have to risk buying at a high price in order to sell on. or if someone really wants to pay a high price to guarantee a seat they can also.

  25. Re:Just one thing on New Material Can Store Vast Amounts of Energy · · Score: 1

    I suggest we call it Naquada!
