  1. Wiki+news=bad on Wikinews Project Launched · · Score: 1

    This is gonna be like indymedia when they were going through their "We can't moderate, that would be authoritarian and fascist" phase a few years ago. Oh well, at least I'll get to see what Bobby Meade, Deaf Messanger is up to these days

  2. Developed by the French? on Liquid Lenses For Camera Phones · · Score: 1

    Is this a "freedom lens"?

  3. Re:Who would you cast though? on Nintendo Eyeing the Big Screen · · Score: 1
  4. Who would you cast though? on Nintendo Eyeing the Big Screen · · Score: 4, Funny

    While Ron Jeremy is an obvious Mario, it's hard to see who else could fill in the various Nintendo roles

  5. Games and RPGs seem to be the next thing on Nintendo Eyeing the Big Screen · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    With another Dungeons and Dragons film on the way, a Vampire:The Masquerade movie in the making, and Doom and Duke Nukem* films being made, it seems Hollywood has finally reached past the bottom of the barrel and begun scraping up the floor underneath it

    *it'll be released when it's done.

  6. If nothing else on Buy a Piece of Acclaim · · Score: 4, Informative
  7. If only EA could go tits up as well on Buy a Piece of Acclaim · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Given their habit of buying some of the most innovative and successful studios (Bullfrog, Origin, Maxis) and gutting them, I can't help thinking it would be a good thing for gaming if they went under

  8. US Army can have the most sophisticated tech ever on Military Robots Get Machine Guns · · Score: 1, Troll

    They're still going to fuck up and shoot their allies by mistake

  9. Reminds me of Schrodingers Cat Trilogy on Half of U.S. I.T. Operations Jobs to Vanish · · Score: 1

    In which increased automation leads to 90% of the workforce being unemployed. In an ironic twist, industrialists are forced to push for huge welfare rises in order to give the few remaining workers and companies a market to sell to. The rest of the human race spends their time fucking, getting stoned and watching TV

  10. Re:Improvements in data center technologies? on Half of U.S. I.T. Operations Jobs to Vanish · · Score: 1, Insightful

    How has farming moved towards higher efficiency? Have they cut the administrations costs of the subsidies and corporate welfare?

  11. If you want to work for a US I.T firm on How Important is a Well-Known CS Degree? · · Score: 1

    Get a degree from the University of Delhi

  12. Improvements in data center technologies? on Half of U.S. I.T. Operations Jobs to Vanish · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is that a new way of saying outsourced to India?

  13. Re:What would sit well next to an iPod? on Three Books On The iPod · · Score: 1

    No, I was saying I'd rather have a iRiver that costs more, knowing that I'm paying for additional features rather than styling.

  14. Quite right, it's anti competitive & monopolis on Verizon-Pushed WiFi Bill Becomes Law in PA · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm glad Verizon have done this, public telecoms are an outrage when the free market can handle it. I know the telecoms sector would never engage in monopolistic and unfair practises.

    *removes tongue from cheek*

  15. Re:What would sit well next to an iPod? on Three Books On The iPod · · Score: 1

    Yes. I'm aware the iRiver costs more. That's why I mentioned the price difference.

  16. What would sit well next to an iPod? on Three Books On The iPod · · Score: 0, Troll

    The receipt and the price difference for an iRiver

  17. How many spammers are there in Ohio? on Ohio Law Could Send Spammers To Jail · · Score: 2

    Wouldn't Florida be a better place for a law like this?

  18. Do spammers have a PAC? on Ohio Law Could Send Spammers To Jail · · Score: 1

    I know the DMA and other bodies are big political contributors, is there anything similar among spammers?

  19. In Korea, space exploration is for old people on Energia Reveals New Russian Spacecraft · · Score: -1

    Is anyone else worried about the Russian combination of a space program and a desperate need for hard cash? I can quite easily see a situation where they become the launching whores of the world, and debris and waste from private companies in orbit ends up stopping space industrialisation before it's properly begun

  20. This is excellent on SNES Audio Unit As Stand-Alone Player · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm torn though - do I want to listen to Shitty Beep Concerto, or Tinny Licensed Song in G minor

  21. Abandonware is a great idea on Internet Archive Loses Copyright Fight · · Score: 1

    But please, for the love of God, someone explain this

  22. Abandonware is still copyright-eligible on Internet Archive Loses Copyright Fight · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I thought abandonware was defined as software that was no longer commercially available or supported. What's that got to do with copyright?

  23. These have already led to a recount in Ohio on Buggy Voting Machines · · Score: 3, Funny

    Apparently there's already proof of voting fraud in Ohio. Both of Ralph Nader's votes have been disqualified

  24. When he boots it up on Impressive Half Life 2 Case Mod · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does he have to spend 2 hours fucking about on an airboat before he can do anything enjoyable?

  25. I made a Half Life 2 case mod on Impressive Half Life 2 Case Mod · · Score: 5, Funny

    I took my Half Life 1 case, removed all the interesting content inside and covered it in bauble and visual enhancements.
