  1. Re:GCHQ on Secret Agents Hold Code-Breaking Contest · · Score: 1

    Sure! I read about it in Dan Brown's Digital Fortress...it was part of the NSA...

  2. Re:Answer: on Secret Agents Hold Code-Breaking Contest · · Score: 1

    I hope that they don't -- I doubt that there are any more references to Ovaltine to be made. Thanks, Banyan!

  3. Re:Consolidating your base on Illinois Gov. Seeks Violent Video Game Ban · · Score: 1

    Jesus never wanted the government to interfere into the spiritual life of the people
    So that's who actually wrote the Federalist Papers! It wasn't James Madison!

  4. Re:Blago on Illinois Gov. Seeks Violent Video Game Ban · · Score: 1

    I'm sure that Jack Ryan, former Senator hopeful from the same state, wouldn't want to ban any of these naughty things. Especially if it involved Star Trek ...hmm, could be a new game...

  5. Re:video games are NOT physically harmful! on Illinois Gov. Seeks Violent Video Game Ban · · Score: 1

    We never had people bringing guns to school before video games became popular. So I would tell you to get your facts straight. That is a ridiculous assertion.

  6. Re:zonk on Editorial: On the SpikeTV Video Game Awards · · Score: 1

    You're right. In fact, this appeared on elmundo.eshttp://elmundo.es/navegante/2004/12/15/j uegos/1103114848.html yesterday:
    Pechos grandes y ropa corta, reclamo de los videojuegos
    La mayoría de los principales videojuegos consumidos por los adolescentes y jóvenes españoles reproduce estereotipos sexistas y difunden valores de la denominada 'cultura del macho', según concluye un estudio elaborado por el Centro de Investigación y Documentación Educativa (CIDE) y el Instituto de la Mujer, que analiza 250 de los juegos más vendidos, como 'El Señor de los Anillos', 'Final Fantasy' o 'Super Mario Bros'.

    Basically, the same thing that you're saying, only backed up by two Spanish commissions.

  7. Re:For James Bond Thugs: on ICANN Approves Two More Top-Level Domains · · Score: 1

    Random.Task

  8. Re:needs inforcement on ICANN Approves Two More Top-Level Domains · · Score: 1

    People still ask me why I .org'd myself, and didn't register .com...

  9. Re:Advertising ? on Neuros Audio Releases Its Hardware Schematics · · Score: 1

    Absolutely -- most people don't know what the product category is -- they've only heard of the IPod. When I explain what my IRiver H320 is, I find it easier to say "like an IPod." IPod can't continue this dominance, either...

  10. Re:At last! on Final Fantasy Concert Series Coming to the States · · Score: 1

    I was going to make a comment about Spike TV's Video Game Awards from last night, and if they had awards for best music/soundtrack, but the web site is a flash hell.

  11. Re:Meanwhile... on Final Fantasy Concert Series Coming to the States · · Score: 1

    They're sure to close with Pac Man Fever!

  12. Re:It's not J-Pop, don't worry on Final Fantasy Concert Series Coming to the States · · Score: 1

    Then I have a virtual island for sale...

  13. Re:Question... on Virtual Island Sells For $26,500 · · Score: 1

    I hope he has a bank on that island, so he can avoid the taxes in his virtual off-shore account.

  14. Re:From TFA on Virtual Island Sells For $26,500 · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm going to buy a virtual hurricane and wipe his island out...

  15. Re:-1 Reality Check on Virtual Island Sells For $26,500 · · Score: 1

    Nope. That's a mirage.

  16. Re:Hmm... on Battle of the Ages; Stereotypes Collide · · Score: 1

    There was nothing worse than being required to take a course in COBOL for my MIS concentration, especially after learning Pascal, C, C++, etc...

  17. Re:Size Storage on Toshiba Unveils 80GB 'iPod drive' · · Score: 1

    Sounds like good business planning to me. IPod et al just need to be careful and figure out when enough (space) is enough, and focus on selling other features (as their competitors have, to differentiate themeselves).

  18. Re:Whine, Whine, Whine on PSP Battery Journal · · Score: 1

    Seriously? I have never seen this. Granted, I don't fly that much, but I have never seen it. I assume that it must be on brand-new planes, and maybe only first class?

  19. Re:And next... on LEGO Star Wars Video Game · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the Doom Barney version...

  20. Re:didn't the prior CEO of lego step down on LEGO Star Wars Video Game · · Score: 1

    Obviously, LEGO needs to provide sets that allow you to build giant, somewhat-working, red-and-yellow grandfather clocks.

  21. Re:The browser will be based on Internet Explorer on AOL Plans A Standalone Browser · · Score: 1

    And I'm sure that workers desperately need to get to AOL content in order to perform their jobs...

  22. Re:glad to see on Software Patents Circumvent European Parliament · · Score: 1

    HA! My fiance worked at (big French company) last year, and they struck to have a party! They had kegs and parades! And once they were all out of sick days, they were upset that they couldn't strike anymore w/o getting paid. Some strike...grève it up!

  23. Re:Already available from Cingular - MobiTV on TV On Cellphones Ever Closer · · Score: 1

    That's ok. Cingular couldn't even get a credit check correct in the last two weeks. They switched my girlfriend's first and last names, then failed to notify her that her order wasn't going through. Why they had to add a manual step in that led to the error is beyond me...

  24. Re:there goes my karma... on TV On Cellphones Ever Closer · · Score: 2, Informative

    RTFA. It doesn't use cellular bandwidth.

    From 2006, mobile phones will be offering crisp, clear TV pictures. But the pictures will not be coming over the cellphone network - they will be sent from transmitters already used for TV broadcasts. And this means a completely new breed of phones will be necessary to pick them up.

  25. Re:People need to get over it. on New Games Journalism · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, we're all good then, since India is in Asia :)
