  1. Re:American McGee's Alice? on Nintendo Patents Insanity · · Score: 1

    "How to be a Complete Bastard" for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum allowed you to get drunk too, so that'd be prior art.

  2. Re:You can install on laptops on Flash EULA Doesn't Fit the Times · · Score: 2, Interesting

    And what exactly is classed as a tablet, some tablets also have a keyboard and can function as a laptop, as far as i know they can run desktop windows xp or linux. So does it become a violation when i swivel the screen around? Or is it a violation when it has a touch screen monitor? What about if i plug a touch screen into a laptop

  3. Futurama on Scientists Speed up Light · · Score: 1

    Prof.: These are the dark matter engines I invented. They allow my starship to travel between galaxies in mere hours.

    Cubert: That's impossible! You can't go faster than the speed of light.

    Prof.: Of course not! That's why scientists increased the speed of light in 2208!

    Cubert: Also impossible!

  4. Re:HIV is part of natural selection on Crocodile's Immune System Kills HIV · · Score: 1

    I've read that chimps were infected with a HIV like virus in their history which killed off a large amount of them, the only survivers being those immune to it. Also didn't we originally get HIV from eating chimps?

  5. PC in a typewriter on Typewriter As Keyboard Mod · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think this mini-itx PC in a typewriter is much cooler.

  6. Still works in warez windows xp too on Linux Passes the Microsoft WGA Test · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you go to tools->manage addons and disable "windows genuine advantage" then you'll have no problems downloading any updates. They only fixed the javascript exploit.

  7. Re:Maybe games should use the movie ratings system on Jack Thompson Continues To Talk · · Score: 1

    In the UK adult games are rated by the BBFC which are the guys that also rate movies, GTA:SA got an 18 certificate which is why these sex scenes don't matter here. To be honest i doubt they would matter if it was rated 12, after all it's just 2 fully clothed cartoon people pretending to have sex, very erotic :/

    Lets hope the kids don't learn how to type "boobs" into google or we'll see google getting banned.

  8. Re:moves on What Xbox Games Will Be Backwards Compatible? · · Score: 1

    By having nothing what-so-ever announced?

  9. Loki? on Where Can I Find Linux Porters? · · Score: 1

    Loki used to port a few major titles to linux, but alas they are no more and since them dying off linux gaming has gotten even worse, if that was even possible.

  10. Re:Someone correct me please on Cosmic Rays Could Kill Astronauts Visiting Mars · · Score: 1

    Don't send any chickens or would could end up with an Attack of the Mutant Flesh Eating Zombie Chickens From Mars

  11. Re:hmm on PS3 Details Slowly Emerging · · Score: 1

    i think you can backup ps2 memory cards to your pc with an action replay, and write to the duo easily enough using a psp or a card reader.

  12. Re:Registrar for start.com = tucows on Microsoft Testing Rival to Google's Start Page · · Score: 1

    why not? microsoft.com is tucows too. As far as i know you can't be a registrar unless you intend to sell domain names, so M$ have to get someone else to do it.

  13. Re:Can M$ do anything original anymore?!?!?! on Microsoft Testing Rival to Google's Start Page · · Score: 1

    anymore? Since when have they ever done something original?

  14. XHTML? on Microsoft Testing Rival to Google's Start Page · · Score: 1



    It attempts XHTML (although it's invalid) even though M$'s own browser doesn't offically support XHTML, will IE7 support the XHTML content-type?

  15. Re:The competition isn't coming. on Firefox Downloads Reach 75 Million · · Score: 1

    But the rendering engine has no new CSS support at all. Just a few fixes for dumb bugs like the peek-a-boo bug.

  16. Re:Comic Sans is..... on Why I Hate the Apache Web Server · · Score: 1

    While unemployed the job centre forced me to use comic sans on my CV, needless to say i didn't get a job for over a year. I was applying for web design work, and any sane person would just throw out any CV that was written in comic sans.

  17. Re:Repost! on How Computers Work -- Circa 1979 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Notice the original post was from the "doomed-to-repeat-ourselves" dept.

  18. torrent on How Episode IV Should Have Ended · · Score: 5, Informative
  19. And in other news... on BBC In Trouble Over Free Music · · Score: 1

    BSKYB is claiming that the BBC broadcasting TV shows for free, constitutes unfair government competition.

  20. Re:Open source on Flurry of Security Patches · · Score: 2, Informative

    I believe this will be the case from firefox 1.1

    Try clicking SVG in the artical and see what happens.

  22. More realistic on Tron Lightcycles, in Real Life · · Score: 1

    If it could be combined with something like this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4607449.stm then it would be much more like the real thing.

  23. Only because on Gates Says No to Implants · · Score: 3, Funny

    Only because he doesn't trust microsoft software running on his brain. The Blue Screen of Death could become literal and he knows it.

  24. Re:Bonzai Buddy on Microsoft In Talks To Buy Claria · · Score: 3, Funny

    Actully it's Bonzi Buddy. You can download it free from http://download.bonzi.com/freebuddy/wd/bbsetuphom. exe May contain traces of spyware.

  25. Re:Copyright? on New FreeBSD Logo Contest to Close on June 30 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Copyright doesn't work like patents. If you created it independently with no knowledge of the other similar logo then you haven't violated copyright. Although i think it is possible to violate trademarks in that manner.
