  1. Re:Still Got Mine! on 20 Years of NES · · Score: 3, Funny
    It actually gets more play time than my Gamecube, PS2, or PSP...
    The time you spend trying to get it to boot doesn't count.
  2. Re:So the Academy is the pirate syndicate? on Disney Encrypting Screener DVDs to Prevent Piracy · · Score: 1
    How easy is it to get your hands on one of these bad boys to begin with?
    Once one person with access to it puts it online? Trivial.
  3. Re:Paint Shop Pro 5 on Dvorak on 'Rinky-Dink' Software Rant · · Score: 1

    I've been using Aldus Photostyler for this purpose since I got it bundled with my Sound Blaster 16 however many years ago that was...

  4. Re:Legit? on Gaming TV Goes Legit On The BBC · · Score: 1

    The article wasn't suggesting that anyone air these webcasts, rather it meant the show that the same people are going to create for TV, which one assumes will be less obscene.

  5. Re:Blame the hacker culture (-1, opposes groupthin on Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7 DoS Exploit · · Score: 1

    wow, overrated with no moderation, how'd they manage that?

    the more things change, the more the stay the same

  8. and this is why... on Red Hat Seeks to Deliver Most Secure Linux · · Score: 3, Funny

    ITO is running a story...
    ...and probably running it as root, too, the stupid bastards.

  9. Re:You all have the wrong mindset... :-p on Flash Memory with Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    You could cut it to:

    "with good copy protection, you can have so much functionality for the user"

  10. Re:Heh... on Nigerian Scammers Brought to Justice · · Score: 1
  11. *Super* Mario Bros. on Japan's Top Five Features Mario Inspired Beat · · Score: 1

    The game in question was Super Mario Brothers, featuring Koji Kondo's excellent themes. Mario Bros. music was some classical piece I don't remember the name of.

  12. Nothing new on A Voice-Controlled TV Remote · · Score: 1

    My father bought a universal remote with this feature at least seven years ago. The voice recognition was crap, but the nice part was that you could program it for different remotes by actually recording the signal they broadcast, not typing in a number from the code book. I wish I could remember the manufacturer's name now...

  13. Personal experience on Nintendo Blocking Counterfeit Game Machines · · Score: 1

    I bought one of these, the only problem I have with it is the low quality of the digital control pad. It works great with my NES games (with a NES->Famicom convertor). I'm finally able to play SMB3 again, my old NES would occasionally work with my other games but not this one. Upon opening the controller I found a screw missing that holds the main circuit board (with the contacts for the buttons), inserting a screw here seemed to help matters a bit.
