  1. Re:Big Booty on The Visual Look of Star Trek Online · · Score: 1

    Considering the infinite diversity in Star Trek, you might just be ogling the booty of a shapely male crewmember. Heck, if the show could put skirts on male crewmembers...

  2. Mod parent up, give parent pie. on The Visual Look of Star Trek Online · · Score: 1

    Nice find! Thanks!

  3. I'm hesitant. on The Family That Games Together Online · · Score: 3, Funny

    I don't know about you all, but there were moments during many an NES battle between my sisters and I that ended with a chunky controller being flung toward a skull. If you threw MMO drama into the mix, a family like mine may well end up pressing charges.

    Those NES pads had some corners, I tellya what..

  4. Looking good! on The Visual Look of Star Trek Online · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Star Trek is one property where the look and feel might possibly outshine the actual gameplay. There are many fans out there who would gladly subscribe to just hang out on a virtual Federation Starship, never mnd the actual play mechanics.

    If they can put together even a mediocre playing experience, this will take off like, well, a starship.

  5. Sigh... on Microsoft Vista Info Leaked · · Score: 4, Funny

    Someday we'll look fondly upon the days when you could just ask if someone is running "98" or "XP," maybe with "SP2." Very soon the abbreviations alone will take up several alphabets.

  6. Re:other advances on Digital Books Start A New Chapter · · Score: 1

    I heard of those weirdos, they're the ones who want to replace my sturdy plastic Christmas tree with a lame wooden one!

  7. Re:BBC? on PBS To Air Six New Monty Python Specials · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It makes sense. Apart from the movies from some ill-advised, heavily edited syndication on I think Comedy Central in the 90s, Python's US exposure has been on PBS.

  8. Dammit Callahan, on Yahoo! Bans "Allah" in Screen Names · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is NOT your personal war! Those people have rights!

  9. New N-Gage shape! on The Future of the N-Gage · · Score: 1

    After the original taco-shaped N-Gage, and the followup shaped like a burrito, the logical next step would be a phone shaped like a quesadilla.

  10. Re:err, i don't think it's from google on Search Engine For Coders to Launch · · Score: 2, Funny

    When people use brand names to generically identify something, I find it more annoying than Scotch Tape in a Xerox machine. I get an Excedrin headache no Band-Aid can fix, and have to work off my stress by playing Nintendo.

  11. Lawsuit! on Search Engine For Coders to Launch · · Score: 1

    Since it isn't at all Google, how soon until the real Google sues its soundalike search engine Krugle for infringement?

  12. Top secret advice for the finalists.. on World Series of Videogames Announced · · Score: 3, Funny

    If you get the whistle, it opens the warp.

  13. Kudos to South Korea! on Korea Plans to Choose Linux City, University · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That's quite a big step, and seeing it actually taken (by politicians of all people!) warms this old jaded heart. Assuming all goes well, this is going to serve as one hell of a shining example for the OSS community.

    Now, cue the distro wars...

  14. Verisign?? on $10k Bounty for Critical Windows Flaws · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's an interesting concept, but I wouldn't trust Verisign to get the tuna out of a can that had already been opened. I wonder what their deal is here.

  15. Re:Obvious feature missing... on Wireless Bluetooth 2.1 Speakers · · Score: 3, Funny

    As much as I'd love to walk around the house with dangling a set of wireless speakers from my wired headphones, I think bluetooth headphones are probably the way to go for that sort of thing.

  16. Sony and formats on Sony Cutting Back on UMD Sales · · Score: 1

    Interesting.. will Sony finally be able to save a failing media format?

  17. They must not have cable tv. on Prostitutes Call for a Ban on GTA · · Score: 1

    If they had cable, they'd have been protesting just about every movie shown on the pay stations after 11pm for the past 20 years.

  18. Interesting, but not really news. on Scientist to Implant Electrode in His Own Brain? · · Score: 4, Funny

    The article is full of how he wants to do it, but would probably have trouble getting approval and so on. If this is news, alert the media that one day I "want" to fly around in a jetpack while robot slaves do all my work and it rains Kool-Aid.

  19. In other news.. on Massive Lightning Storm on Saturn · · Score: 4, Funny

    Members of Saturn's DeLorean owners' association report that thanks to the storms, their cars are disappearing into Time left and right.

  20. Hardware hacks? on Interview with One of ENIACs Inventors · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm looking to overclock my ENIAC. Any tips?

    Also, does anyone have a copy of Gentoo on punch cards I can borrow?

  21. Quick question.. on UK Government Wants a Backdoor Into Windows · · Score: 1

    What's British for "Magic Lantern?"

  22. Cue the web spam... on Internet Data Mining for Investment Analysis · · Score: 5, Insightful

    We can expect yet another huge rise in fake blogs, fake product reviews on Amazon and such, and paid shills in chats and message boards. Swell.

  23. Solaris??? on Games That Push System Limits · · Score: 1

    How on Earth did they port Solaris to the 2600?

  24. Re:Hmmm on Love Under a Microscope · · Score: 1

    Then you hide the oven as part of a larger plan to drive the captain insane.

  25. Re:Realigning? on Activision Lays off 150 Employees · · Score: 1

    They're "realigning" the business from one which spends part of its money paying those 150 employees, to one that keeps that money to make their books look a bit better for a little while.
