  1. Project Muse, Lexis, JSTOR on Wikipedia's $100 Million Dream · · Score: 1

    All awesome databases of documents that I cannot afford to access.

    Especially Project Muse...crazy sweet stuff

  2. Cloud on What Are Your Top Five 'Comfort' Games? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    http://intihuatani.usc.edu/cloud/

    One of the most relaxing games ever.

  3. ParaParaParadise on Full Body Dance Dance Revolution · · Score: 4, Informative

    I think Konami's already made a lot of these sorts of games before. The one that springs to mind is ParaParaParadise.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ParaParaParadise

  4. Maurice Ashley Teaches Chess on Chess for Kids? · · Score: 1

    I remember having an old game called Maurice Ashley Teaches Chess. It walks you through the basics all the way to intermediate to advanced strategy.

    If you can find a copy somewhere cheap (or google it), I'd reccommend it.

  5. Unluckily on Cardiac Patch for a Broken Heart · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...patches will only be available on the first Tuesday of every month. Any severe heart attacks occuring between these so called "patch days" will have to wait.

  6. Re:Complex? on College Students Lack Literacy · · Score: 1

    Actually, there was a study a while back by a number of Harvard law professors (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) that showed that even they couldn't understand what the terms of the contract were.

  7. Re:Is that a word? on Going Deep Inside Vista's Kernel Architecture · · Score: 2, Informative

    Only when used as a plural noun.

  8. Topical? on 100 Things We Didn't Know This Time Last Year · · Score: 1

    Under what resolution?

    Certainly it doesn't meet THIS year's...what does Shakespeare have to do with Civil Liberties?

  9. Re:sweet on Jack Thompson Buys Stock in GTA Parent Company · · Score: 1
  10. Re:10,000,000 years on 300 Years to Index the World's Information · · Score: 1

    Not to mention an invasion of privacy.

    I'm thinking some people wouldn't want their penis lengths stored in some great vault of information.

  11. Re:WOOOOOOHOOO! Music stuff on /.! on TB-303 Give-Aways from Propellerheads and d-lusion · · Score: 5, Informative

    Semi-Offtopic, but there's a nice alternative to Fruity Loops for Linux users...still in Beta, but:
    http://lmms.sourceforge.net/

    It's pretty good.

    Anyways, I'll be sure to pick this one up.

  12. Re:A simple summary: on Blizzard/Vivendi 2, bnetd 0 · · Score: 1

    I think one could think of the fruit as the consumers, with which Vivendi (Pac-Man) can do as they please.

  13. Re:Why Penny Arcade? on PAX05 Writeup · · Score: 1

    They even have a certain amount of "Penny-Dot" power. I remember a couple months ago when they brought down the Tenkay Commotion webcomic by posting a link.

  14. Re:Necessary Evil on Windows User Experiments With Linux for 10 Days · · Score: 1

    And don't forget that Enemy Territory and America's Army have native Linux distributions.

    And run a heck of a lot faster on my FC3 partition than on Windows.

  15. Re:Launching on U.S. Okays Virgin Galactic Plans · · Score: 0

    No:

    3. ...
    4. Profit!

  16. Re:Anyone out there care to comment? on Largest Privately Owned Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing quite a bit...at least SETI's computers. If they need to have a program called SETI@home to borrow proccessing power from other computers...then theirs SHOULD be running at full load.

  17. "Seen by the Press" on Largest Privately Owned Supercomputer · · Score: 5, Funny

    Notice how the article says "seen by the press"...maybe there's an even more powerful one in the hands of some evil mastermind on an island in the Pacific who is plotting world domination by having it create a super weapon to destroy everything in its path...yet the computer always keeps giving the same answer:

    42

  18. Re:Great but.. on iTunes More Popular Than Most P2P Sites · · Score: 1

    Then again...it does seem like computers crash much more easily than CDs scratch...and CDs don't store thousands of songs.

  19. Re:Ack on Does Voting Technology Affect Election Outcomes? · · Score: 1

    Isn't the death screen in Longhorn going to be red?

  20. E-mailing... on Ditching Microsoft Could Save Education Millions · · Score: 1

    I just e-mailed this to my district's tech office.

    Maybe now they'll learn a thing or two.

    At the least, they'll get Firefox (or the older Mozilla Suite (for the Mac OS 9s (since I don't think Firefox runs on those))) on the school computers.

    Then I shall be happy.

  21. Re:Well... on Morse Code Faster Than SMS · · Score: 1

    Agreed, my friends can...but apparently I can't. That's why I seem very wordy in my IM conversations.

  22. Nice on Gaming Hacks · · Score: 1

    Looks like I have something to get my friend for his birthday after all.

  23. Proxy on Google Web Accelerator · · Score: 1

    I downloaded it for the fact that it goes through a proxy server.

    It allows me to get around the block that has been placed on my router for Blogspot addresses without having to go straight through google translator.

    Quite nice...and I've saved 9.8 seconds.

    I really needed to those...my shoe was untied.

  24. Too risky? on What Ever Happened to Virtual Reality? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Developers probably don't want to take any inovative "risks"...remember what happened with the Virtual Boy, so that's my guess as to why we haven't seen a lot of VR stuff.

  25. Business Opportunity on North Pole Gets Wi-Fi Hotspot · · Score: 1

    I can't wait for Starbucks to start setting up shops there...it's like they can just grow them wherever they want to...or they're like the cheaply constructed buildings in Monty Python that only stand up if the owner wills them to.
