  1. Re:I miss the days... on Nintendo's Next Console Revolution Will Have WiFi · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem is a true hidden gem.

  2. Re:A new release is already in the works... on Nintendo's Next Console Revolution Will Have WiFi · · Score: 2, Funny

    Everyone knows that's being released on the Phantom.

  3. Re:Already on the DS on Nintendo's Next Console Revolution Will Have WiFi · · Score: 1

    Why would Nintendo alienate it's consumers so early in the DS's lifespan. Allowing the two to connect can move units of both off shelves in what's going to be a highly competitive market on both fronts.

  4. Now all they have to do... on Nintendo's Next Console Revolution Will Have WiFi · · Score: 5, Insightful

    is release more than 2 online games.

  5. Slashdotted on Building a Silent, Air-Cooled System · · Score: 5, Funny

    Seems to me that they've built a silent website too.

  6. Re:Here we go again... on Music Piracy Unit Raids ISP in BitTorrent Assault · · Score: 1

    Why do you even care of some shitty corporate products you could not afford anyway and maybe end up using for 1 hour then forgetting it? The latest shitty movie from Hollywood? Leave them be. If it's not worth paying for in the cinema, it's not worth seeing. Why waste your time for such crap?

    It's very easy dismiss these movies and music and easy for you to be "above" everyone else's taste and even easier to just say that you are. But, some people do like these movies, they love these cd's and they want to escape everyday life (and not everyone likes to read). You and I may think Britney Spears is awful, but there are people who love her and can't live without her next album, single, music video, movie and playstation game. And lets not forget that through overexposure, these corporation constantly tell you that you like it, and even if you don't too bad cause we're gonna play it hourly so suck it up. But the people that like these products may also disagree with the RIAA/MPAA business model and this is the easiest way to rebel (and some people just want free movies and cd's). So it's not that easy to just "Leave them be."

  7. Re:shiny plastic on Apple Backs Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    I'm sure you'll be able to see one in less than an hour on some fansite.

  8. Re:Sony & Blu-Ray on Apple Backs Blu-ray · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The Playstation is exactly the thing that's gonna help this format survive. Because every PS3 sold will turn someone into an instant blu-ray drive owner. (let's not forget how the ps2 turned a lot of people into dvd drive owners)

  9. Re:Chess grand masters on Chess Master Kasparov To Retire · · Score: 4, Funny

    Especially since you're probably mating mostly men.

  10. Re:A suggestion on Google & Firefox's Relationship · · Score: 1

    It's can be viewed as unethical, and one of google's biggest features is it's ethics. It plays fair, and it shouldn't stoop to the level that microsoft (which most of us agree here, uses underhanded tactics) does. I, and I'm sure others would lose faith in the company if it started using some of the seedy tactics that make us hate MS and favoritism in browsers is one of those tactics.

  11. Re:Not Surprising on North Korea Admits to Having Nuclear Weapons · · Score: 0

    I do worry about that as well.

  12. Re:Thank Goodness... on North Korea Admits to Having Nuclear Weapons · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't think Bush is stupid (I won't say he's the smartest president). But his priorities are out of whack. We attack a relatively weak Iraq to draw attention away from the fact that we can't capture Bin Laden, and while on this diversionary mission, not only does much more dangerous N. Korea get nuclear capabilities; next door neighbor Iran gets them too. So he's not a stupid person, but he is a stupid president. (oh! did I mention his Iraq exit strategy? NO? Well maybe that's because he didn't have one going in and still doesn't)

  13. Re:Thank Goodness... on North Korea Admits to Having Nuclear Weapons · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yeah, good thing we raided big bad Iraq, while sweet lil' N. Korea was doing all of this.

  14. Not Surprising on North Korea Admits to Having Nuclear Weapons · · Score: 4, Insightful

    We all knew this already, but I wonder if we should worry more now that they've admitted it.

  15. Re:Legitimacy on EA Starts Gamedev Program · · Score: 1

    I won't talk them down because while they aren't the best options as schools, for some they are simply the only option. And maybe they're not getting an Ivy league education, but they are trying to better themselves, and that's more than you can say for a lot of people.

  16. Legitimacy on EA Starts Gamedev Program · · Score: 1

    It is nice to see something like this at a "legitimate" university, not just a DeVry type institution (i'm not trying to talk down about DeVry and it's alum, just stating that the outside world will tend to take the career more seriously.)

  17. keyhole on Mapping Google Maps · · Score: 1

    When will we see this merged with Keyhole, they're just begging to be smashed together.

  18. A simple question on Ask Microsoft's Martin Taylor About Linux vs. Windows · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Have you actually ever given any Linux distro a fair unbiased evaluation?

  19. Emerging Countries on Ask Microsoft's Martin Taylor About Linux vs. Windows · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Explain why Windows would be a better OS for developing countries where they're trying to keep computer prices extremely low per machine.

  20. Re:I'll still stick with Firefox on Spyware for Firefox Coming This Year? · · Score: 1

    thanks for the correction. "Viva el Firefox!"

  21. I'll still stick with Firefox on Spyware for Firefox Coming This Year? · · Score: 1

    as it's bound to be a less frequent occurance and a faster more effective response. So when it's all said and done, "Viva la Firefox!"

  22. Re:Antenna Boom on ESA to Deploy Mars Express Radar · · Score: 5, Funny
    Of course they have safeguards and workarounds but if that fails MARSIS is dead in the water.
    It'd have to find water first.
  23. Step One on AskJeeves Steps Into RSS with Bloglines Acquisiton · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Perhaps, this is step one in updating it's services. It's not nearly as effective as the other search engines.

  24. Double Edged Sword on University Of Calgary To Offer Course On Spam · · Score: 1

    I do like this program because I understand that to beat the system you have to know how it works. But on the flip side of the coin, the spam companies now know exactly where to go to get the next batch of programmers to get their penis enlargement, low refi rates, get a free xbox, hot young chicks get nekkid messages to the masses.

  25. Re:black cd's on NIST Releases Study Of CD/DVD Longevity · · Score: 1

    I too use the black cd's and some comparisons with them would be good to see if I should move to a different type of disc.
