  1. sadly on Boot Sector Viruses & Rootkits Poised For Comeback · · Score: 0

    My computer just got stoned.

  2. Skulltrail? on Intel in the GHz Game Again - Skulltrail Hits 5 GHz · · Score: 0

    That is one of the most awesome names for computer hardware ever. Almost as sexy as a Blade server. Whoever thought violent themes and computers would co-exist? I'm looking at you Hans Reiser.

  3. Water Cooler information? on Infrequent Anonymous Cowards Reliable on Wikipedia · · Score: 0

    I liken this to how water cooler chatter among employees is often more factually correct (especially concerning gossip about work), than more formal means of communication passed down by employers.

  4. Re:Vista Licensing? on New Mac-o-Lantern · · Score: 0

    Does this count as a "major upgrade" that would invalidate WGA?

  5. Some setup tips on Your DIY Arcade Machine? · · Score: 0

    Learn DOS 7 or how to edit your autoexec.bat in Windows 98 for a dedicated machine. That way, you can boot up into the 2 best DOS front ends, ArcadeOS or Game Launcher, without even a hint that it is a PC.

    And wiring your own is so much more fulfilling than buying a pre-made system.

    For kids, check out arcadedepot.com, and mameroom.com.

    If all of your questions aren't answered here, you can always go to mameworld.net

  6. On another note on High-Speed Trains in the US? · · Score: 0, Informative

    Amtrak lost almost half of their federal funding this year thanks to our dear president. Truck subsidies actually went up. I don't think trains will ever catch on in the US as long as we have content soccer moms driving SUV's to get groceries.

  7. Government action against Tiger Direct . . . on Apple Sued over Tiger, Injunction Sought · · Score: 0
  8. Horrible Customer Service and FTC action! on Apple Sued over Tiger, Injunction Sought · · Score: 0

    Have you read Tiger Direct's BBB record? It is horrible! They had FTC action taken against them for false warranty claims. I don't trust anything that business does.

  9. Re:Internet appliance anyone?? on Google Adds Search History Feature · · Score: 0

    I for one welcome our informative stalker overlords.

  10. Awesome! on Katamari Damacy 2 Due In July · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The game is so simple, yet so addictive. It is simple for only using the thumbsticks for control and the motive is to make things stick to the katamari you are rolling around. The replay value once you start playing is amazing.

  11. I am impressed on Gmail's Birthday Presents · · Score: 1

    They are really trying to make use fill up those 2 gigs with fonts etc.

  12. Re:So Bush really thinks USA is invencible!! on Prsident Bush Cancels Space Shuttle Program · · Score: 1

    Jerry Falwell's moral majority!

  13. Re:"hellaforming" on Flagship Studios First Project Title Announced · · Score: 1

    I agree. I thought of that word when I was 8 years old.

  14. They are absolutely NOT worth it! on Are 'Monster' Cables Worth It? · · Score: 1

    I make my own cables for use in a PA system. The only reason that Monster Cables are more expensive is they use a thicker gauge wire, thicker shielding and good quality connectors. If you can obtain those 3 things, you can get great quality cables without having to pay for the brand name.

  15. Don't forget on Ultaportable Apps: Take Your Thumbware Anywhere · · Score: 1

    AdvanceCD arcade (with bootable USB) http://advancemame.sourceforge.net/cd-readme.html Movix for bootable media http://movix.sourceforge.net/ and Puppy Linux http://www.goosee.com/puppy/flash-puppy.htm

  16. This is so HELPFUL! on Google's Library Up and Running · · Score: 1

    (Now if Google would just do my English thesis for me)

  17. Flame bait title on Arch Linux: the Distro of the Year? · · Score: 2, Funny

    The title of this news article is a silly one- "Distro of the Year?" I am surprised it didn't incite a slap fight among the nerds that wish to advocate their Linux flavor of choice.

  18. I hacked my Shuffle too . . . on Shufflephones 2.0 · · Score: 1

    I hacked my IPod shuffle into my pants. (It's called a pocket)

  19. Why do we need a rover for this? on Autonomous Robot Finds Life in Atacama Desert · · Score: 5, Funny

    We should send Google to search for life on Mars.

  20. Call me a purist . . . on Halo 2 Expansion? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I own a copy of Halo 2, but I would rather play DOOM any day. Let me explain. The Halo series has pretty graphics, but the game speed is so slow. I became horribly bored at how slow everything crawled compared my FPS of choice on a 200 mhz pentium system. The first person shooter has been re-hashed so many times. Multiplayer was a great innovation, but let's see something new more novel gameplay that performs as well as their FPS predecessors. I think the gaming companies are just seeing how much more they can squeeze from the money tree with variations on a theme. In the mean time, I am going to stick to my copy of DOOM.

  21. Nice article on Creaky Operating Systems Form IT Foundations · · Score: 1

    That was a great article, but they forgot some great oldies. I am running DOS 6 on my 100 mhz machine to do the titles on my analog video editor. I am running DOS 7 on my arcade machine so it boots right up into the game menu. I love it because it has large disk support. I have been using these for so many years, I couldn't imagine using anything else.

  22. Opportunity on Google Launches Google Code · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Since this is for dev related to Google, this could be a great opportunity to attract lots of talent to their company. This has the opportunity to be a great thing for all parties involved.

  23. Tee hee on Keylogging Used To Catch Bank Crackers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Pardon me. I just thought it was humorous that you said "Sniff the bits".

  24. Intentions? on TV Show About The Scene · · Score: 1

    I question their intention of self-publicizing their piracy group. Is it because they are begging for attention? Is it because they truly want to educate people about "The Scene"? Or is it because they make $0.05 on web banner click throughs? The world may never know . . .

  25. I would give my left . . . on Apple Developing Two-Button Mouse · · Score: 1

    I would sell my IPod for the features of a second button on my mouse!
