    Soon to be available in Taupe, Mauve, Tressel, Wall, Stonch, Cheese, Tape, Fold, Full, Flank, Stew, Tense, Bink, Twerp..

  2. Mod parent up! on Google to Digitize National Archives Footage · · Score: 1

    The irritant here is, it's already ours. But we still won't be able to have a copy of our own public property without either Google's lousy flash player or several thousand dollars' worth of video conversion equipment and physical acess to the originals.

  3. Re:Free for *download* would be good for this cont on Google to Digitize National Archives Footage · · Score: 1

    But at what resolution?

    It's possible. I made myself a sandwich for lunch, and charged myself $300 for it. Luckily, I let myself finance it without interest.

  7. Re:They have learned from the RIM debacle on Atari, Others, Settle Game Patent Suit · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sometimes it is better to buy out the problem than it is to do the right thing.

    For "better" read "easier."

  8. Like game series used to be. on HL2 Not Required For Episode 1 · · Score: 1

    That's how it was back in my day, grumblegrumbel go get grampa his pills, Billy....

    Actually I do think it's nice to have game series that don't necessarily have to dredge up an old engine, etc. in order to play, allowing a bit more freedom to tweak and optimize code as benchmarks progress.

  9. Lets do the Time Warp again.. on Florida Voting Machine Logs Reveal Anomalies · · Score: 1

    From TFA:

    Another disturbing find was several dozen voting machines with votes for the Nov. 2, 2004 election cast on dates like Oct. 16, 15, 19, 13, 25, 28 2004 and one tape dated in 2010. These machines did not contain any votes date-stamped on Nov. 2, 2004.

    Damned time travellers! Don't they know that interfering with primitive human history is against the laws of time??

    I bet some Andromedan Mega-Frat colony is having/will have a big laugh at their little prank.

  10. Re:A quick poll on MacBook Internal Photos · · Score: 1

    I wish I hadn't disassembled my computer during powering it up. Ow, burns..

    It just so happens my billionth free music download was a Coldplay mashup.

  12. Robotic Operating Buddy on Top 10 Worst Game Controllers · · Score: 1

    As much as I hate to talk smack about anyone or anything with such an awesome name, I'm going to have to submit ROB.

    MOD GRANDPARENT SIDEWAYS!!!

  14. Re:Not quite breaking news on Search Engines' Reward Programs · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think iwon.com was advertising heavily on TV and radio back then.

  15. Re:WASP Online! on PS3s Online Services to Compete With XBox 360 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Actually, if like me you pronounce it "Wops online" it sounds like an Internet-enabled reunion of my Italian-American family.

  16. We've been here before. on Video Usage Creates Traffic Jam Worries · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Remember when dialup and fax transmissions completely destroyed the telephone network?

  17. This is getting to be a routine. on Games Industry Off Its Game · · Score: 1

    Is anyone else growing the slightest bit tired of all these redundant "games industry is teh s uck" articles which keep floating around, only to be intterupted every so often with a "omg games industry is teh b etter!" article?

  18. Better when shut off! on Quantum Computer Works Better Shut Off · · Score: 3, Funny

    Neat! It's an updated Sinclair ZX-81!

  19. Hotlinking? on Google Introduces Page Creator · · Score: 1

    Does hotlinking off your Googlepages site onto another work? If so, this could be a sneak attack at image hosts like Photobucket and Flickr.

  20. Seanbaby had it right!! on CPL Partners With Gaming World Series · · Score: 1

    What I really want to know is, will they invite the US National Video Game Team? (bad words, nsfw)

  21. Re:Welcome to the wide world of litigation on Liability for Data Breaches are Minimal · · Score: 1

    with the HUGE loophole that if the data is encrypted (not mentioned what form of encryption), no disclosure needs to take place.

    I LOVE this! From now on, all my bookkeeping is going to be done in ROT-13. Take that, future plaintiffs!!

    I simply drink the mountain dew to get the sssaaammmeee eeffffffeecccctt.

  24. Linux? on Windows Bumps Unix as Top Server OS · · Score: 3, Informative

    From TFA:

    And in another first, fast-growing Linux took third place, bumping machines with IBM's mainframe operating system, z/OS. Linux server sales grew from $4.3 billion in 2004 to $5.3 billion in 2005, while mainframes dropped from $5.7 billion to $4.8 billion over the same period, Eastwood said.

    "Sales" being the operative word. How would one fit the free Linux options into this equation, I wonder?

  25. Re:wha? on The 2006 Taipei Game Show · · Score: 1

    But were the booth girls anatomically correct?
