  1. Semantics on Mature Video Games in the Minority · · Score: 1

    The question is what does Medi Family consider a "violent theme"? Some people would see an Italian Plumber jumping on the head of a giant walking mushroom as violence.

  2. Re:Where's the buggy-eyed smily when you need it? on Man Reportedly Jailed for Using Lynx · · Score: 1

    The clubs in my area do the same thing. So one of the local video stores started giving $2-bills as change as well.

  3. Re:Form factor had nothing to do with it for me... on Will Mac mini Lead the Charge to Smaller Desktops? · · Score: 1, Informative

    That would make sense. When I worked worked for gateway (curse them for closing their retail stores!) the rule was that we would cover anything that we put in the box. If the video card your 14-year-old nephew burns out your motherboard, too bad, so sad. YMMV.

    No "p" at the end oh a-yuh. In its an inhalation, ont an exhalation. And, yes, I was a "victem" of the Maine school system.

  6. Re:where did he send the email from? on Maine Court Hears Case On E-Mail Privacy · · Score: 1

    My understanding is that he actually set up a Roadrunner account, and used Fitch's name as the user name. And because its roadrunner, it somehow falls under the federal cable act, which actually prevents time warner from revealing Doe's idenity.

  7. Re:Hungry? on Adding Pizazz to Your RAM · · Score: 2, Funny

  15. Re:Hey, Anonymous Coward on 400,000 Additional DSs Available by Year's End · · Score: 1

    No, an acronym is an abreviation that is pronounced (NASA [National Air and Space Administration], LASER[Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation], AFLAC [American Family Life Assurance Company]). And if you can't figure out what a DS refers to in an artical that also references nintendo (use your context clues!), why the frell are you reading the games section.

  16. Re:My Fortress of Solitude on A Background of a 'Background Checker' · · Score: 1

    Oh come on now...there's even a song called "51st State" that came out in 1986 http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:53 rp28ot054a...so the idea of the UK being the 51st state is atleast that old.

    The 93% voting turnout should have been the first red flag of the human error.
