  1. Great idea on Too Much Tech Makes End Users Blink · · Score: 1
    ...commercial software publishers should have to pay users $1 every time their product screws up...They'd owe people a buck or go to jail.

    Joe AOL gets a blue screen while simultaneously playing Daikatana and dl-ing pr0n on his Multimedia ready OEM with Intel Pentium processor, 64 megs of ram, unpatched Win98, and three dozen TSR's.

    The solution to this problem?

    Have John Romero sent to jail hopefully!

  2. "or that bragging about exploits on Doom" on Voices From The Hellmouth Revisited: Part Ten · · Score: 1
    When will journalists start associating a new game with violent youth behavior?

    Doom was released shortly after the battle of Poitiers and enjoyed its greatest popularity during the latter years of the Hundred Years War. Needless to say nobody plays it anymore. They still used monochrome monitors and 8 inch floppy disks back then!

  3. Wow on First Ever Pitfall Perfection? · · Score: 1
    It's been 18 years and I still remember looking joyously at the Polaroid of my first 20k+ Pitfall game.

    Patch never came of course.

    My Bossk figure I was supposed to get from mailing in proofs of purchases 22 years ago never came either. But since George Lucas (who in some arcane mystical way was personally responsible for me not receiving it) has gone on to be afflicted with the reputation destroying JarJar disease I guess justice has been served.

  4. 2.5 terabytes of RAM? on Fastest Commercial Supercomputer To Be Built · · Score: 1
    2 years after release there's finally a system that might run Trespasser smoothly.

    Now we can replay all those rigidly linear levels spent stacking rubber boxes in rubber trenches - except now we can do it with a frame rate >20!

  5. Not only that on The Star Wars Trilogy Storyline -- In Legos · · Score: 3

    but he mentioned tentacle rape which is automatically going to get modded up due to the first moderator guideline:

    "1) Promote Tentacle Rape, Discourage Crap."

  6. Sharkdot.org? on Pentium 4 And Brookdale Update · · Score: 1

    Is there a reason why every third article seems to link to a sharky extreme article recently?

    Surely there must be other sites covering the release of that virtually unknown gaming platform called the Playstation 2 and pointing out that Intel is made of ham.

  7. I don't wanna get drafted! on The Politics Guillotine Descends · · Score: 1
    re: "We should abolish the draft, and not go to war for anything but defensive reasons."

    As Sergeant Hulka would say "Son, there ain't no draft no more."

  8. Netscape 6 fails to support ram standard on Netscape 6 Fails To Support Web Standards · · Score: 2

    One window using 30+ meg of ram must be in violation of something!

  9. What's wrong with the Deja interface? on Google, History, Profitability · · Score: 1

    I think it would be perfect if they'd just add 2 or 3 "70,000 free hours of AOL" banners, and have all of their search results link directly to merchants instead of the current 40%.

    Adding a news ticker wouldn't hurt either!

  10. That's a relief on FBI Defends "Carnivore" · · Score: 4

    I'm just glad to know that the FBI promises not to misuse Carnivore in any way and is almost fully committed to, more often than not, treat everyone's rights with equanimity and respect from this day forward (circumstances permitting of course).
