  1. google^8 on Dvorak on Google and Wikipedia · · Score: 0

    "Actually, Google provides search over about 1.3 billion web pages... it actually doubles roughly every year." wow, that's pretty impressive, if they said that in 2001. I mean, in 4 years it's gotten eight times bigger. They've surpassed themselves!

  2. Re:This has to be a joke on Game Developer's Choice Nominees Announced · · Score: 0

    Doom 3 should have got something for character design, it's up there with HL2, in my opinion.

  3. "Excuse me sir, could you please step over here.." on Server Inside a Suitcase · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    That would just make getting through airport security even harder. At least a laptop isn't masquerading as something else, this looks like you've got something to hide.

  4. Microsoft.. better? on Are Betas Taking On Lives of Their Own? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Speaking of beta versions, I found that not only did my 13 year old sister not know what MSN stood for (neither did any of her online buddys), but she assumed that the word BETA in the program's title bar meant 'better' thanks to the current trend in teenage moronic spellings.. I fear for our future.

  5. goodbye to neverland on Star Flung From Milky Way at High Speed · · Score: 0

    "astronomers have discovered a star leaving our galaxy at a speed of over 1.5 million miles per hour" I agree, Michael Jackson's court case is indeed the final demise of his career.

  6. here we go.. on Who's Really Responsible In Online Banking Fraud? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I await the "In Soviet Russia, banks overdraft you!" comments.

  7. Hold up. on Why Does Windows Still Suck? · · Score: 1, Informative

    I read so much about people who say after a clean install they're infected with worms/spyware after a few minutes. really, that's bullshit. Windows isn't secure by default, no, but the only way that scenario legitamately took place is if you went straight off to the websites/downloads that are full of that stuff, which is more about the webmasters sucking than windows. I'm no MS fanboy but I don't like these claims. It's like saying you can get aids just by going to China when in reality that claim is based on you visiting a chinese brothel after you step off the plane.

  8. um.. on Secret Kazaa Documents Revealed in Court · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    People still use Kazaa? Just switch to SoulSeek, much better.

  9. as Homer might say on Google Rewards Employees With Millions · · Score: 2, Funny

    Google.. is there anything it can't do?

  10. Re:They wouldn't need to become a registrar... on Google Eyes Domain Registration Market · · Score: 1

    I meant they'd offer a free webspace deal with that domain, as well as yoursite.com.

  11. someone didn't buy microsoft dictionary (C) on BBC Bill Gates Interview Part 2: Security · · Score: 1

    He says certainly too much!

  12. the same thing we do every night, larry on Google Eyes Domain Registration Market · · Score: 1

    Holy christ on a bike, what can they do next? Seriously, I can visualize them offering a Geocities-a-like system or something based on this. yourname.gsite.com ?

  13. "from the so-many-headcrabs! dept." on Half Life 2 Retail Sales Hit 1.7 Million · · Score: 2, Funny

    more like so-many-god-damned-ant-lions dept. curse them and their protective hides!

  14. I smell a conspiracy.. on ATI at the Top Graphics Chip Maker for 2004 · · Score: 1

    Could this be related to ATI's Half-Life 2 offer?
