  1. Re:I Hope MMOs All Die on The Future of MMOs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The game you're describing sounds like an FPS based on the Sims.

  2. Re:That's a Shame on Toshiba Making Funeral Plans for HD DVD · · Score: 1

    I don't think people are comparing the PS3 to the xBox 360 pro, they're comparing to the normal xBox 360 which is $200. I wouldn't buy an xbox 360 pro either.

  3. Re:$1.5 million? on RIAA Wants $1.5 Million Per CD Copied · · Score: 1

    No you're getting it all wrong, see the RIAA says a single CD is worth 1.5 mil dollars, so if your CD goes platinum with 1,000,000 copies sold, they should get about $1.5 trillion in sales.

  4. Re:Duh on World of Warcraft Gold Limit Reached, It's 2^31 · · Score: 1

    Except for 214,000 gold is about 214x more expensive than anything I've ever seen sold in an auction house (20 slot bags) and I can't imagine how you could possibly spend that much money.

  5. Re:Uhoh on High School Sophomores Discover Asteroid · · Score: 2, Funny

    Did anyone else see the headline and think "What took them for long, I've been playing Asteroid for years.."?

  6. Re:Sure on Is There Such a Thing As Absolute Hot? · · Score: 1

    The Universe is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes.

  7. Re:Platform compatibility on IE 8 Passes Acid2 Test · · Score: 3, Informative

    As far as I know, any new browser has the option to turn off tabbed browsing (in firefox you go to options then "tabs" (on the top) and change "New Windows Open in.." from tabs to a new window.

  8. Re:*ba-dum pshh* on Sony's Flash-Based Notebook Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Real geeks don't need operating systems. They just use arrays of on/off switches.

  9. Re:The importance of this race cannot be overstate on Carnegie Mellon Wins Urban Challenge · · Score: 1

    Or you could, you know, decide for yourself if you want to share cars like this. I happen to not care what car I'm driving as long as it moves, and if I could get a car that drives itself cheaper than paying for a car, I think I could handle not actually owning one. (not to mention that I prefer to walk, so having a car isn't very useful for me most of the time)

  10. Re:Ironic curiosity on '55 Science Paper Retracted to Thwart Creationists · · Score: 1

    Maybe the fact that the author of the paper is the one saying that it's wrong?

  11. Re:Boxed SOAP response. on Cellphone Use On Planes Coming Soon? · · Score: 1
  12. Re:Ahh crap on RIAA Sues Usenet.com · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think the point is that Usenet.com doesn't just have copywrited music, it's a major part of their advertising. Like if phone companies advertised as "A great way to plan terrorist attacks!" or something. (not that I think they should lose, I just think that it's more complicated than people are making it)

  13. Re:you... on Yahoo Exec Says "Enough DRM" · · Score: 1

    Clearly we need a better way to protect our children, as some people are finding ways to get around the DRM. Don't they realize it's for their own protection? I propose that all music CDs have a program on them that erases the hard drive of whatever computer it's placed in, and that all music on the CD be hashed to make sure no one can break the encryption on it. Let's see them listen to Britney Spears now!

  14. Re:Flash drives on Get Speed-Booting with an Open BIOS · · Score: 1

    Doesn't that get rid of the point of rebooting? I use hibernate when I want to stop using power, and reboot with Windows gets screwed up..

  15. Re:hm on Video-on-Demand Success in France Deters Piracy · · Score: 1

    I agree. If the choice is between spending a couple hours to download something that you can use however you want with no hassle, or paying 10x the value of the product for something you can barely use, piracy is the obvious choice.

  16. Re:Oh! on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    I prefer Notepad2. It's nice and small, and does syntax highlighting a bunch of languages. I mostly use it when writing HTML, but I sometimes open C++ files in just because it does that thing where you click on one bracket and it highlights the other.

  17. Re:Me'thinks on Vista SP1 Coming In Q1 2008 · · Score: 1

    Didn't they do this same thing with XP? Hopefully Vista SP2 will be worth using..

  18. Re:Why? on 200,000 Elliptical Galaxies Point the Same Way · · Score: 1

    What does string theory have to do with 200,000 elliptical galaxies all pointing the same way?

  19. Re:*heh* on UK Rejects Extending Music Copyright · · Score: 1

    But the army of black clad figured in the background isn't paid for 50 years because they worked the concert.

  20. Re:And on Mac OS X... on Six Multi-Service IM Clients Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I thought that adium was basically gaim restyle to match OSX, in which case it would sort of be cheating to list it separately from gaim/pidgin. I didn't realize there were any other differences..

  21. Re:And on Mac OS X... on Six Multi-Service IM Clients Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Isn't adium just a ripoff of gaim/pidgin with a mac-looking skin?

  22. Re:Two words: on Texting Teens Generating OMG Phone Bills · · Score: 1

    Verizon doesn't offer it. (Which is why I will be using T-Mobile)

  23. Re:Anyone notice a change in Jobs? on Answers From Steve Jobs at Apple's Shareholder Meeting · · Score: 4, Funny

    Who needs billions when you can have MILLIONS?

  24. Re:No surprise... on Some Schools Ending Laptop Programs · · Score: 1

    I don't how much of a difference it would make but, tablet PC's are much lighter than 4+ textbooks that most school give. Possibly could save money down the line on back problems..

  25. Re:Competition for emusic on Apple To Grant All Labels DRM-Free Distribution · · Score: 1

    I was under the impression that Apple forces all of the music to be sold at the same price (hence why all of the songs on iTunes before this DRM thing were $.99).
