  1. Re:Haha, nobody will do this. on The Simultaneous Rise and Decline of Battlefield · · Score: 1

    If the game is "good enough" (i.e., the consumer weighs the good vs. bad and the good comes out on top), it will be bought. No need to punish EA if you're fine with what they're doing.

  2. Re:IPE on Mozilla Introduces Browser-Based WebIDE · · Score: 1

    Never mind that. I might be old, but I'm imagining what a Beowulf cluster of these would do.

  3. Re:UNISEX conference on Overeager Compilers Can Open Security Holes In Your Code · · Score: 1

    So do overeager compilers suffer from premature optimization?

  4. Re:WTF on US Supreme Court Invalidates Patent For Being Software Patent · · Score: 1

    I'm done with mod points for a bit, but someone please give this guy an Informative. Unanimous (or nearly so) decisions rarely involve the most controversial decisions that make the news.

  5. Re:Ironic on HUGO Winning Author Daniel Keyes Has Died · · Score: 2

    More like serendipitous, but yeah, nice catch.

    I think the story affected me most as Charlie was on the downhill side, after his intelligence peaked. He could recognize what was happening to him, struggling desperately to find an answer that would stop the degradation. It was profoundly upsetting.

  6. Jack Kirby? on 1958 Integrated Circuit Prototypes From Jack Kilby's TI Lab Up For Sale · · Score: 1

    I'm assuming Stan Lee took credit for Jack Kirby's integrated circuit. Excelsior!

  7. Re:My two cents on Washington Redskins Stripped of Trademarks · · Score: 1

    It's almost like a bill of attainder.

  8. Re:Chicago Blackhawks too? on Washington Redskins Stripped of Trademarks · · Score: 2

    The obvious solution is that Washington will field an all-Native American team, then.

  9. Re:Chicago Blackhawks too? on Washington Redskins Stripped of Trademarks · · Score: 4, Informative

    "Funny" does not edify karma. That's why some mods will give you "interesting" or "insightful" if the joke is really good.

    I fail to see how the joke is disparaging to Catholics.

  10. Re:Fuck the world on Bill Gates To Stanford Grads: Don't (Only) Focus On Profit · · Score: 1

    What do your educational apps teach about capitalization?

  11. Re:What if I get hungry? on Cable Boxes Are the 2nd Biggest Energy Users In Many Homes · · Score: 1

    If you've got a better way to toast a cheese sandwich while watching tv, I'd like to hear it.

    If it doesn't involve lasers, flamethrowers or nuclear reactors, it's not a good was to toast a cheese sandwich.

    Didn't you read the stub? Four nuclear reactors!

    THERE ARE - FOUR - REACTORS!

  12. Re: And who will be pushing the accelerator on Geothermal Heat Contributing To West Antarctic Ice Sheet Melting · · Score: 1

    We'll have to wait for future generations to generate that trillion. Then we'll have a workable solution.

  13. Video on Tetris Turns 30 · · Score: 1
  14. Project Xanadu Forever? on Xanadu Software Released After 54 Years In the Making · · Score: 4, Funny

    Alternately titled "Project Xanadu Forever".

  15. Re:Behind the curve on Seattle Approves $15 Per Hour Minimum Wage · · Score: 2

    Walmart is the 900-kb gorilla

    That gorilla needs a RAM upgrade.

  16. Re:Really? on A Measure of Your Team's Health: How You Treat Your "Idiot" · · Score: 4, Funny

    I was wondering if this is a case of "if you don't know who the team idiot is, YOU are the team idiot"...

  17. Re:Do you... on Is Google CEO's "Tiny Bubble Car" Yahoo CEO's "Little Bubble Car"? · · Score: 1

    Apple was working on these "bubble" cars years ago, but Steve Jobs killed the project because even bubbles didn't have enough rounded edges.

  18. Re: Only thing I want to know: on A Different Kind of Linux Smartphone: Samsung To Sell Tizen-Based Model Z · · Score: 2

    Mark my words, some time in the near future all the Java-based appliances/phones/computers/blu-ray players, etc will get together and become Skynet. And in a shorter time lapse we will have hordes of T-1000s hunting us down the streets.

    But mankind will catch a lucky break when humans refuse to install the Java updates.

  19. Re:Who gives a shit? on HR Chief: Google Sexual, Racial Diversity "Not Where We Want to Be" · · Score: 1

    I must break them.

  20. Re:Free market strikes again... on Zazzle.com Thinks Depictions of Pi Are Protected Intellectual Property · · Score: 3, Funny

    we just think that your fairy tale pure capitalism can't exist, and that its supporters are naive dupes of the cronies and neo-feudalists.

    I thought we were an autonomous collective.

  21. This shit, it never ends... on 4K Displays Ready For Prime Time · · Score: 0
  22. rideonewheel.com link? on Not A Hoverboard, but Close (Video) · · Score: 1

    Looks like they also sell web hosting!

  23. Re:No Way! on Curved TVs Nothing But a Gimmick · · Score: 2

    Right - the 3D isn't a "gimmick" as is commonly understood by the term. I don't like 3D TV, but it's not a fair comparison.

    Now, fad maybe...

  24. Re:A reddit link? on No, HealthCare.gov Doesn't Require 500 Million Lines of Code · · Score: 1

    And now to go post this story on reddit...
