  1. Re:Watched the episode a few weeks ago... on Giant Squid Caught Near Japan · · Score: 2, Funny

    Reminds me of that time this documentarian wanted to film me. I wan't all that into it, so the bastard tore my arm off. Journalists, eh?

  2. Re:what a sad story.. on In Game Ads May Just Not Work · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Exactly. Burger King's Xbox games are a perfect example of this. People know they're buying a marketing tool, but at $4 it's actually worth it to the players because the games are pretty neat game-wise.

  3. Re:Keep the ban for the sake of quiet on First Cellphone Use On Airplane Given OK · · Score: 1

    Too true. In New York City, the subway system for the most part is devoid of mobile phone coverage for obvious reasons. They had announced plans to wire the system for signal. Now the plans are pretty much stalemated in red tape, but that is sort of a sigh of relief to those of us who weren't looking forward to losing the one remaining public place one could be sure of not encountering the earpiece-wearing, phone-blabbering bluetooth zombies.

  5. Re:I don't understand this... on Jeremy Allison Resigns From Novell In Protest · · Score: 1
    I don't know why this guy is leaving.
    Read his post, the one that starts off "I have decided to leave Novell. [...] As many of you will guess, this is due to..." Whether or not you personally agree with his reasoning, that's why this guy is leaving.
  6. No disassemble!! on How the Wiimote Works · · Score: 1, Funny

    So did they actually use tools to open the Wiimote up carefully? Or did they fling it with all their strength at an HDTV to get both an article, and piece of the class-action?

    Why be bitter? I'd love to be able to honestly say I once destroyed a million dollars' worth of something. Mad scientist pride!!

    After reading TFA and your subject line, I'm disappointed your post didn't mention a monkey with four asses.

    The rightful owner of a domain is being sued for that domain by the people behind this new movie. That's pretty damn YRO-y.

    ..I'm just too cool for a cold.

  15. Re:Video of how it works on Face Search Engine Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: 2

    The fatal flaw in this process, is that it's Tom Cruise's face. Can't I have one day where I don't have to look at that guy?

    This is why I worry about this process. Not because of my privacy, but because there are already too many instances of my large face on the Net. You people have enough of me to deal with already, without yet another database crunching my oily pixels and spitting them back up at you with a hyperlink attached.

    Oh, I see what you mean. Thanks for clarifying.

  17. Re:Is it worth it? on Google Updates AdSense Rules, Still Working on Radio · · Score: 1
    Everybody across the entire country hears the exact same thing.
    Have you listened to any major broadcast network radio at all lately? You could actually drive coast to coast and hear the same ten songs over and over.

    So then it'd be more correct to say "students will do anything for course credit."

  19. Yeah.. good luck with that. on Copyright Tool Scans Web For Violations · · Score: 1
    The Wall Street Journal is reporting on a tech start-up that proposes to offer the ultimate in assurance for content owners.
    This almost had me going until the second half of the sentence. When has anyone ever offered any product as the "ultimate" anything that ultimately proved to actually ultimately be the ultimate whatever it was?

  21. Is it worth it? on Google Updates AdSense Rules, Still Working on Radio · · Score: 1

    Maybe I'm off base, but I wouldn't have expected the supreme 21st-century new-millennium Web-2.0 information-superhighway buzzword-erific folks at Google to bother with ancient and increasingly less relevant mainstream network radio. Wouldn't they be jumping all over Internet or satellite radio, instead?

  22. Re:Thanks, guy. on Revisiting the Physics of Buckaroo Banzai · · Score: 1

    Could be worse.. as is widely known among fans, the music wasn't finished yet when they were filming that scene. On set, the cast had to walk in time to Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl," which happened to have the same tempo.

    And now, you've got that stuck in your head instead. Bahahahaha!!!

  23. Re:monopoly on 2006 Board Games Gift Guide · · Score: 1

    Sure, a lot of "Risk" is chance, but it's the same level as Monopoly, which the OP mentioned liking. although a lot is linked to the dice rolls, it's not only chance. There's still a decent strategic end of the gameplay as you choose what or whom to go after, what to defend or attack, and so on, just as you have strategic choices of buying, trading, and building in Monopoly.
