  1. Re:Well on A World of Warcraft World · · Score: 1

    people here seem to be talking about killing like if they had enough money from the murder then it's okay, that seems crazy to me

  2. it's all about consoles, what about other toys on Xbox 360 for $300 · · Score: 1

    people are willing to shell out $300+ for a console and games for christmas. No wonder, toy stores like fao schwarz and kb-toys went under... it's kind of sad, oh well.

  3. Re:Direct marketing with University help on Dell and Napster Going Directly to Colleges · · Score: 1
    "Universities are theoretically in the business of providing advanced education and doing research"...well not the prestigious Joe Schmoe's University, where you can get a degree in anything you want within a week and the campus is located in some obscure country. Prestigious Joe Schmoe's univerisity is into making big bucks $-)

    actually I think some universities really are looking for good money...sure wouldn't hurt the faculty if there was more money to go around

    photoshop has done "minor" touch-ups on the following canadiates:

  5. Re:I can explain how it works... on How the Batsuit Works · · Score: 1
    it's not enough to hire just special effects and visual effects (onomatopoeias on posters)...you forgot to hire the jazz band...

    you may as well just read a batman comic

  6. I know the real reason why on Half Of Businesses Still Use Windows 2000 · · Score: 1

  7. Re:Unnecessary my ass on PC Makers See Little Reason to Deploy XP N · · Score: 1
    while MSN Messenger, MSN Explorer, Media Player, Movie Maker, Outlook Express and Internet Explorer are great and all...I wish they would have bundled the service packs I mean wow a prefixed windows

  8. new overlords? on Chalkboards With Brains · · Score: 1

    interactive whiteboards are cool and all but chalkboards with brains. I think we've discovered a new species

  9. any connection to korea MSN on North Korean Hackers Rival CIA? · · Score: 1

    don't know but was this the work of the north korean hackers? http://news.techwhack.com/1347/04060505-msn-korea- hacked-for-stealing-user-passwords/ by the way...notice the article says independent parties reported this perhaps there are other independent parties in the U.S. who are even more capable than the CIA. just a guess

  10. Re:BIll Gates Won't Let PC Games Industry Die on Will Next-Gen Consoles Kill Off PC Gaming? · · Score: 1

    do you think we'll see more first party games like solitaire 360!

  11. two possible outcomes on Whose Burden is it to Recycle Computers? · · Score: 1
    if you make the corporations responsible they'll probably figure out the cheapest method to recycle because they are after money so if you stick the tab on them

    if the consumer is responsible then they need to list their junk on ebay...or actually maybe that would just relocate it.

  12. Don't quit your jobs addicts! on Email Addiction Runs Rampant · · Score: 1

    My doctor diagnosed me and it seems I have a working addiction. Because you're my employer I wanted to tell you that can't work for you anymore...so anyway remember to write this off as a work related injury...

  13. Re:money makes friends on Bush Wants Right to ISP Customer Data · · Score: 1

    wait I don't think this is related to the RIAA actually I'm not sure...sorry

  14. money makes friends on Bush Wants Right to ISP Customer Data · · Score: -1, Troll

    wow, the RIAA can afford to buy out our government and use congress for its private interests... this is scary I thought our country's government had some honor or integrity... I'm still looking for the advertised "honest politician"

  15. new insentives on No IE7 For 2k, Now In Extended Service · · Score: 1
    Maxthon an overlayer on IE has tabs...as for being a surprise...YES! Arg...jerks are trying to force people to upgrade to windows xp for memory sucking eye candy and system restore and now IE7?

    yeah I know they game plan make browsers like IE6 and firefox incompatible with the new IE7...so you have to upgrade to see a chuck of the web's content

  16. A theory to why this is... on Innovators Are Older Than Ever · · Score: 1

    all the innovators are older because they're the innovators of yesterday growing old. It seems today educational system kills innovation. Anyway I'm going to study for MCAS cya later

  17. Re:Remember World War II? on Integrated Graphics from NVIDIA Back In Style · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    if I'm following this correctly

    this would be like the russian front...an abundance of motherboards with poorer equipment

    and ATI represent Germany or something and nvidia should be coming out with that should be...da bomb...

    Oh I hope history repeats itself :-P

  18. Re:Nintendo has only 3 games... on Smoke and Mirrors from Sony and Microsoft · · Score: 1
    you forgot super smash brothers

    Crash Bandicoot is by naughtydog Tomb Raider is by Eidos Interactive Limited Gran Turismo is by Sony

    I personally think Tomb Raider is horrible interface and Crash Bandicoot isn't anywhere near as good as mario.

    but Tomb Raider and Crash Bandicoot wouldn't cause people to buy consoles...games like GTA3 and Halo sell consoles.
    Sony just knows how to attract good developers something nintendo better learn to do otherwise they will end up with only a few good first party games.

    By the way Oni, a game by Bungie (company that made halo), had an amazing third-person interface...I alreadly don't like tomb raider's third-person interface but compared to Oni its pathetic.

  19. What really makes console debuts so good on Smoke and Mirrors from Sony and Microsoft · · Score: 1

    the console makers spend a lot of cash and bribe the developers to make all thier best games on thier new console and the developers save thier best games for the console debut because this is the most important time. Most people buy just one console, which means if developers don't attract the people to the console they won't have people in your audience. Plus, I see all that "revolutionary" being pulled at the beginning, then a plethra of copies (remember mario and the side-scrollers)

  20. cheapskate's advice on Unlocking the GeForce 6800 · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    not to be jerk, but spending $200 on a video card ALREADY seems like overkill...the video card industry has coming out with faster and faster cards when alreadly the video cards were overkill.

    People (expecially benchmarkers) have to turn on all the bells and whistles and crank up the resolution and everything just to make "full" use of thier video card. Nice to have and beautiful and all, but if you are willing to turn down resolution you can have a hundred dollars and run just as smooth.

  21. after reading article on Over Half a Million Bank Accounts Breached · · Score: 4, Informative
    according to the article at least 108000 customers were notified that's about a fifth

    Bank of America (up $0.10 to $46.67, Research), the nation's No. 2 bank, has notified 60,000 customers of the problem. Wachovia (Research) has notified 48,000 customers.

  22. Gee how informative on Over Half a Million Bank Accounts Breached · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm glad to know that about 1 in 10 people were notified
    I have a feeling that most people's social security numbers have been harvested by people who shouldn't have them

  23. Re:Sun's exit plan. on Ballmer and McNealy Smiling Together · · Score: 1

    Well if Microsoft is wants to look good by cooperating with someone to appear "open" then the sale of Sun certainly would be very unappealing

  24. Re:10 reasons why the US is hated all over the wor on Next Step in Human Evolution · · Score: 1

    quite a few of those reasons seem to be "you're rich provide" for others. as a person living in america I will say that how much money we can make is not as important as what services can be obtained with the money. While I agree the US should help out...it seems unfair to neglect other countries that do the same.

  25. Re:Laptop?!? on Nuclear Battery That Runs 10 Years · · Score: 1

    wow does this mean bleeding edge desktop replacement that won't run only 2 hours. Who knows maybe it'll be enough to power the next generation CPU and GPU!
