  1. Re:Discovering the secrets of the game? on CSI Takes On Grand Theft Auto · · Score: 1

    Either that, or "I called the Game developers and through my savvy techno speak I was able to get them to send me an uber secret document called a game strategy guide."

  2. A great game on Review: Burnout - Revenge · · Score: 1

    I'm really glad they didn't call this game Burnout 4, because its more like Burnout 3.5. None the less the game is still pretty amazing and improves on the game play success of its predecessor. If you enjoyed Burnout 3, then Burnout revenge is a more refined version that adopts new elements while improving existing mechanisms.

  3. VBScript on Strong Emotions May Cause Temporary Blindness · · Score: 5, Funny

    It all makes sense now. I was wondering why I could never find the mouse after reading VB code.

  4. Re:Nothing for you to see here. Please move along. on World's Smallest MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    It's a neat idea, however really impractical. I mean how easy would it be to lose that thing? I for one have a hard enough time remembering where I left my carkeys or cellphone, I don't need to worry about my MP3 player as well.

  5. GUI on Ant - The Definitive Guide · · Score: 1

    Is there a graphical application to help generate ant build scripts? Maybe it will help those starting out in Java get familiar with ANT. A lot of new programmers I talk to are afraid to use ANT because it looks complicated.

  6. Why don't people complain this much about TV on Video Games Need A Woman's Touch · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Many of the shows on TV contain scenes that contain sexual situations, even if they don't show much skin its still suggestive. Also women on TV are often dressed in skimpy outfits, why is it 100 times worse if its in a game?

  7. Metroid on Video Games Need A Woman's Touch · · Score: 1

    Maybe females in games should all be as covered up as Samus Aran

  8. WSH (Windows Scripting host) on What's the Best Way to Handle Scripting Under XP? · · Score: 1

    VBS files are a really quick way of hacking together useful little scripts, as mentioned above. However there maybe limitations. I have a bunch running at work that all run at 1 minute intervals (windows task scheduler). They all take about 10 seconds each. However I'm running into a problem where its now taking about 5-10 MINUTES for certain scripts to finish executing, I'm wondering the scripting engine isn't so efficient? Anyone have any experience with this.

  9. Benchmarking on 100Mbps Home Internet Service Next Year in Finland · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "Based on our research, 30 megabits per second is the absolute minimum in future homes" I wonder what kind of tests they used to determine that figure.

  10. This is great on New Mozilla Developer Site Goes Live · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm really glad this site is available. When I tried to write my first extension several months ago I found it to be a daunting task trying to find any documentation that was easy to read. I'm looking forward to reading through some of the other developer tutorials and spending many long hours programming....I guess I'll need more soda now.

  11. Re:Google turns Evil on Google Web Accelerator · · Score: 0

    I agree with the statement that going public doesn't necessarily equate to going public. I think the big fear is the loss of power to shareholders. However that won't happen at google. I've just completed a research paper for school on their governance practices and its interesting to note that company executives have a different kind of stock than most folks out there. Their stock is worth exactly the same economically but offers substantially more voting rights. Basically that means, the majority of power will still be in the hands of the company and hot the shareholders, so taking that into account I don't think they are turning evil.

  12. New Programming language on Bacteria Made to Behave as Computers · · Score: 5, Funny

    Bacteria.NET Sharp

  13. Re:Back then... on Google's Past Homepage · · Score: 0

    I actually think the source is formatted as such to make it hard to read. Thereby deterring people that want to copy their site. With that said, I realize the google main site is pretty simplistic and almost anyone can copy, however gmail is pretty complex I imagine the HTML formatting issue is a company standard. So just to conform with other standards the main page source looks the way it does. At least that's what I think.

  14. A Few weeks too late on MRIs That Read Your Thoughts · · Score: -1, Troll

    And to think we could have saved Terri Schiavo..
