  1. Re:So what? on Microsoft Excludes GPLv3 From Linspire Deal · · Score: 1

    There is no reason why the average user can't do just that. There's already quite a mix of licenses in the average Linux distro.

  2. Re:Two Crude Dudes! on There Are No Games So Bad They're Funny · · Score: 1

    I believe "Are you a bad enough dude to rescue Ronnie?" was the quote in the arcade version, while the NES version just had the un-named "president". Presumably due to Nintendo's policies (at the time) of not letting anything controversial in games on their systems.

  3. Re:Theres more to it than you think.... on Half Life 2 Episode 2 Due Out October 9th · · Score: 1

    excuse me? I'm buying it for episode 2, which is the game. Team Fortress is a multiplayer component and Portal is a tech demo.

  4. Re:If it takes this long to make an "episode" on Half Life 2 Episode 2 Due Out October 9th · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well... the Star Wars films are episodes...

  5. Re:obligatory on GNU Coughs Up Emacs 22 After Six Year Wait · · Score: 1

    Well... it's got a vi mode.

  6. Re:Registry on A Windows-Based Packaging Mechanism · · Score: 1

    It's pretty easy to dump some keys from the Registry if you need to.
    Sure, if you can find them. Copying text files is much less messy.
  7. Re:Tubes on Best Presidential Candidate for Nerds? · · Score: 1

    It's slow, and is driven/run by weird overweight pervy outcasts?

  8. Story seems to show its age on Big Red Button Disasters? · · Score: 5, Funny

    You know the submission queue is slow when by the time the story is posted the site has changed its name.

  9. Re:I've got the perfect solution on Working Around Vista Apps' Incompatibilities · · Score: 1

    But Linux runs even less Windows applications than Vista does.

  10. Re:A Stillborn Meme... on Patti Santangelo v. RIAA May Be Over · · Score: 1

    I for one welcome our new injoke overlords... in SPACE!

  11. Re:Disturbing anyone? on RIAA Going After a 10-Year-Old Girl · · Score: 1

    Remember that ten year olds are not considered old enough to drink or drive or vote. Clearly there is a trend in society to consider them not old enough to be responsible for their actions.

  12. Disturbing anyone? on RIAA Going After a 10-Year-Old Girl · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Hmm... they want to be able to meet with a ten-year-old girl in person. Now I may have been around the seedier sides of the internet a bit too much, but does that sound a little disturbing to you?

  13. Re:Harsher on the PS3 than just 'really challengin on Final Fantasy Creator on Xbox 360, PS3 · · Score: 1

    He isn't doing FF anymore. RTFA. He's got his own company, making X-Box 360 games.

  14. Re:Who the hell is this end user that edits DVDs? on 30 Days With Ubuntu Linux · · Score: 1

    The fact that the MS Paint replacement is faster and more stable than the (supposed) Photoshop replacement is a little spooky.
    Well, I find MS Paint to be faster and more stable than Photoshop.
  15. Re:What about Ewan McGregor? on Star Trek To Return Christmas 2008 · · Score: 1

    And have people confusing the two large sci-fi franchises with "Star" in the name?

  16. I've got a bad feeling about this on Star Trek To Return Christmas 2008 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Somehow those rumours frighten and shock me. A Kirk that isn't Shatner and a Spock that isn't Nimoy?
    What about a DS9 movie?

  17. Re:the fabric of space time is about to be ripped on Outdated Domains To Meet Their End · · Score: 1

    Actually, the statement "I never tell the truth" is not a paradox, and to believe so assumes that someone either always tells the truth or always lies, which is clearly nonsense.

    Do not ignore the possibility of someone who sometimes tells the truth and sometimes lies.

  18. Re:Who cares about prizes? on The Role of Prizes In Innovation · · Score: 1

    Well, can you name a single person who loves Raymond?

  19. Re:Sit down kids and let me tell you a bed time st on Judge Rules Against Deep-Linking of Content · · Score: 1

    That's not a very good analogy. A better one would be if you were trying to sue someone for publishing the location of your cinema. Which is of course ridiculous.

  20. Re:If this keeps up... on Melting Coins Now Illegal In the U.S. · · Score: 1

    Personally I maintain that the fact that the $2 coin is smaller than the $1 coin is non-intuitive, as one would expect a coin of the same material and larger value to be a larger size.
    But now I think about it, if the $2 coin was introduced after the $1 coin, making it larger would not be an option, as it would then be too big to be convenient.

  21. Re:Use an OS that has a lot less of these problems on Unwanted Popups Boosting Web Traffic · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The fact that you probably had to set all of that up specifically rather than it coming as standard is probably significant.

  22. Re:So... on Ban On Louisiana Video Game Law Now Permanent · · Score: 3, Funny

    Fosters: Australian for the kangaroo piss we export to Yanks.

  23. Re:Theories of ethics on How Do Developers Handle Moral Dilemmas? · · Score: 1

    I thought maybe we could finally find a good use for lawyers.

  24. Re:no common sense case on No Business Case for HDTV? · · Score: 1

    You mean they had to change it from "German Shack"?

  25. Re:I have a dog that can growl "sausages" on Singing Dolphins Do Batman · · Score: 2, Informative

    No, living in the water makes them aquatic. They don't have gills or lay eggs.
