  1. Re:Doesn't Compute on Search For RMS Titanic Was a Cover Story · · Score: 4, Informative

    The point wasn't to locate the two subs, it was to get up close investigation of the wreckage.

  2. Re:In other Sony Online Entertainment news... on Vanguard Producer Wants Second Chance for First Impression · · Score: 1

    ...said SOE director Constance Phuckup. I laughed.
  3. Re:Sung to the Spiderman TV theme! on The Science of Iron Man · · Score: 1
    Actually, it goes something like this:

    Tony Stark makes you feel

    He's a cool exec with a heart of steel

    As Iron Man all jets ablaze

    He fights and smites with repulsor rays

    Amazing armor, that's Iron Man

    Ablazin' power, that's Iron Man

  4. New Iron Man Movie! on The Science of Iron Man · · Score: 1

    Now TRANSISTOR-POWERED!!

  5. Re:What happens to today's games? on Unreleased Atari 2600 Game Found At Flea Market · · Score: 1

    Maybe they were even featured, wouldn't it have made sense to have Spidey capture something large in a giant web between the towers?

    One of the original trailers did exactly that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjtXUULtH4E

  6. Re:I will have to disagree.. on Computer Games Make Players Less Violent · · Score: 1

    I think we've all heard the recorded Vent sessions that show they are some pretty stressed WoW players out there.

  7. Re:Why Gutsy? on A Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux · · Score: 1

    Considering that Hardy will be coming out in a few weeks, and will be supported for 3-5 years as opposed to 18 months, wouldn't it have been a smarter idea to write a book on 8.04 Hardy Heron instead?

    And this is why Linux and dead trees seldom mix.

  8. Re:Captain Conspiracy Time on Novell Rises to Second Highest Linux Contributor · · Score: 1

    I mean, since Novell's already demonstrated they're Microsoft's bitch and admitted it what is preventing any of the above whacked out theories from being true?

    Lack of evidence?

  9. Enough of this Acid3 nonsense... on The Original mcom.com Revived · · Score: 1

    Can our modern browsers pass the 1994 test?

  10. Wait, I just realized... on Optimus Keyboard Starts Shipping · · Score: 1

    Now we actually CAN download keyboard drivers!

  11. Re:Strange quote... on Child-Suitable Alternatives To Passwords? · · Score: 1

    There should be parental supervision, education, and monitoring.

    Why?

    Ever watch Dateline? Maybe you should have a seat.

    Here's hoping you're arguing for the sake of argument and/or sterile.

  12. Re:Money on How to Convert Your HD-DVD Discs to Blu-Ray · · Score: 1

    This is snark, right? Are you under the impression that your HD-DVD discs will self-destruct as a result of this announcement?

  13. How has this just now become an issue? on Xbox DRM and the Red Ring of Death · · Score: 1

    How many thousands of consoles have failed since Xbox Live started selling movies/shows? This is just now becoming a news item?

  14. Technical or layman definition? on Italian Parliament To Mistakenly Legalize MP3 P2P · · Score: 1

    What is the tradition in Italian law for terms such as this? Is the technical definition used, or is it customary to accept the layperson definition? Chalk me up to the group that can't tell any appreciable difference between a decent bitrate MP3 and a lossless format.

  15. Re:Four words. on Fox News / EA Spar Over Mass Effect 'Controversy' · · Score: 1

    Of course I'm not saying that. I'm just diagnosing the problem.

  16. Re:Four words. on Fox News / EA Spar Over Mass Effect 'Controversy' · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It just doesn't matter to these people. In the end, all video games have been, are, and always will be, intended for children.

  17. Re:Good in some ways... on Microsoft to Force IE7 Update on February 12th · · Score: 1

    I know Intuit says that... I haven't seen any problems.

  18. Re:Is Piracy a problem? on HD Monitor Causes DRM Issues with Netflix · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't think "the free flow of information" was ever intended to include Halo 3 and episodes of Lost. So yes, I think piracy is a problem.

  19. Re:authority figure is a moron on Student Given Detention For Using Firefox [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    One doesn't have the right to disobey without consequence, moron or not. That would sort of defeat the whole purpose of authority.

  20. Re:Is she going to sue MediaSentry? on RIAA Backs Down On "Unlicensed Investigator" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Until we can get rid of the general public perception that "piracy == bad" and "recording industry == good" they aren't going to face penalties.

    When is piracy not bad?

  21. December 12, 2007. on 'w00t' Named 2007 Word of the Year · · Score: 1

    The day the language died.

  22. Re:Yes, actually. The cat does "got my tongue." on Loophole in Windows Random Number Generator · · Score: 1

    But then you name your toon "Wi" and it all goes to hell...

  23. "Players leaving in droves..." on World of Warcraft Patch 2.3 Coming Next Week · · Score: 5, Funny

    Whiny players claim this after every buff or nerf, major or minor. Shouldn't the WoW user base be in negative numbers by now?

  24. Re:No question at all. on Joel and Original Cast of MST3K Riding the Cinematic Titanic · · Score: 1

    To me, that sums up Joel's entire performance: "uncomfortable".

  25. Re:When I punch 10^15 eV into Google... on Origin of Cosmic Rays Confirmed · · Score: 1

    OK, that sounds bad.
