  1. Re:Prior Art? on Nintendo and Microsoft in Suit Over Controller Patents · · Score: 1

    Vetrex has an analog stick.

    A self righting one, too!

  2. Re:Form over Function? on What's Wrong with Modern Console Design? · · Score: 1
    The ultimate console design has already been invented. You've probably seen pictures of it. Heck, most likely you're indirectly using one right now.


    Presenting The ultimate console setup. One's a Wii 2 (is that 'Number 2', or 'Wii-wii'?), one's a 720, one's a PS4.


    Stacked.

    Silent.

    Lights tell you what's going on. Red for bad status, green for good status.

    Optical tray drive on the left. (Like a normal CD drive, Xbox, Ps2, NOT LIKE THE MAC MINI.)

    Controllers plug in to the front face or the right.

    Switch on the side which changes which ones in the TV.


    What else could you possibly want?

  3. After an accident with the device on How to Become Invisible · · Score: 1
    Nurse: Doctor, there's a man outside who's had an accident with an invisibility device, and he needs your help!

    The guy in that video looks like a mixture between Barney Calhoun and Matthew Broderick.

  8. Re:Then... on In-Game Advertising Comes to Board Games · · Score: 1

    Atmosfear is a 'video board game'.

  9. Answer to a dubious contract on How to Deal w/ Dubious 'Contracts'? · · Score: 1
    The only answer to a dubious contract, is an even dubiouser contract...!... Even dubiouser? ... More dooby? Doober... duberious?

    A contract with much more doobitude!

  10. Re:$11,000 for future violations on 'Hot Coffee' Scandal Officially Resolved · · Score: 1
    $11,000 for future violations?


    So, they got Hot Coffee from the future, then? Bloody hell, where's Gage Blackwood, or Blinx when you need them, eh?

  11. Re:Very nice, but... on DS Web Browsing Looks Refreshingly Good · · Score: 1

    Does it need the expansion port? I know of one goomba (One of my cousins' friends: not me!) whose managed to mank up and gunk up his GBA port beyond repair. (Not that he'd ever have the patience for browsing)

  12. Re:Here's my prediction. on What Spore May Spawn · · Score: 1
    Spore is just a video game. Sure, an awesome, unusually creative, really fun videogame, but just a video game nonetheless.

    'Awesome' and 'really fun' are both subjective, and unless you've been working on Spore, you'd have no way to really know for sure. (And if you have been working on Spore, wouldn't you be sick of it by now? Or do y'all find reading the Slashdot comments a hoot? :D)

  13. Re:I agree completely. on What Spore May Spawn · · Score: 1

    You're all nuts:
    You're all going to be saying that Fable didn't live up the hype either, next!

  14. Re:The jury's out... on What Spore May Spawn · · Score: 1

    Or... it could spawn a whole set of games where the procedurally generated gadgets and critters are pushed at you 200 times a second to the detriment of any sort of gameplay and fun.

  15. Re:Captain Non-Sequitur to the Rescue on What Spore May Spawn · · Score: 1
    Uh...


    Try: "The 'nukes' gameplay feature, which has the ability to the destroy entire races of creatues in the blink of an eye, was one of the factors considered during the design of Spore's online database backup of the user-generated parametric creatures."


    Would you want some interloper to come in and anihillate your work?

  16. Use the full quote, wouldya? on Microsoft COO Warns Google Away From Corp Search · · Score: 5, Informative
    "Those people are not going to be allowed to take food off our plate, because that is what they are intending to do ... Enterprise search is our business, it's our house and Google is not going to take that business"


    The rest of that quote reads:


    "... unless, of course, their product is better than ours. In which case, they will attract new customers, together with customers from our existing customer base. Which... I guess you could call taking our business."


    Honest, guv!

  17. Re:Consistantcy and the golden rule. on How Do You Maintain Your Work Focus? · · Score: 1
    Just don't fire yourself.

    If you're doing that at the office, you need a serious rethink of your priorities.

    MoonShell v1.31 (stable) Full package (uncompressed size 20.1 MB) updated: 2006/06/24
    Download (7-Zip file) 8.90 MB
    Includes:
    * MoonShell v1.31 (release version)
    * Movie encoding tools (v1.0)
    * Readme files: English, Finnish, French, Italian

    Grab that version of MoonShell, use the installer, and set up the options for your particular type of flash media.
    To convert: go to "MoonShell v1.31 full\misc\Movie encoding tools" (where "MoonShell v1.31 full" is the folder you installed MoonShell to on your HD) and use dpgenc. You can fiddle with the options if you like, but the standard configuration is good if you don't know exactly what you're doing. After the conversion is finished, copy the .dpg to the flash media. If this doesn't work, you've missed a step, or you're using the wrong version of MoonShell.

  21. Interesting to note: on Romero's New Gig · · Score: 1

    The patent officer in 1899 didn't resign because there was nothing left to invent.
