  1. Re:Is this really new? on Halo 3 To Have 'Mute the Jerk' Button · · Score: 3, Informative

    With Halo 2, you have to go through a couple of menus to mute specific players. This ought to make it easier.

  2. Re:The Burn on Downloadable Film Commentaries Becoming Popular? · · Score: 1

    Exactly. We haven't even gotten to the problem of illegal immigrants yet. There are parts of the southwest where you can walk the streets without hearing a word of English. (Not that that's bad, but it proves the need for SAP.)

  3. The Burn on Downloadable Film Commentaries Becoming Popular? · · Score: 1

    Bad offtopic mod there. Now then.

    What makes you think that everyone in the United States speak English? It's absurd how little you have to know to become a citizen here. My grandmother recently took the citizenship test. You only have to answer six questions correctly in a oral exam, and much of their judgement of your English is based on that and some spelling/grammar things. Whether you can understand a conversation or not is barely a factor. Most people can pick up on key words and predict the questions, the answers to which they have already memorized. Go from there to being able to understand an entire movie, and you see why many people need SAP to watch movies and such.

  4. Re:Accelerated Indirect GLX! Woowoo. on X.Org Releases First Modular Source Roll-Up · · Score: 5, Funny
    Accelerated indirect GLX has been a until recently been a unattainable holy grain

    I'll say. I've been waiting for accelerated indirect GLX beer for a while now. Booze Informer says it could unseat Old Janx Spirit as the choice smasher for Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters.

    Woo woo, indeed.

  5. Re:simple math on Day of the Robotic Tentacle · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Sorry but you screwed up here:
    Tenticle Robot + Tenticle Pr0n = An unhappy nerd + pr0n As we all know, this is a logical fallacy, since a nerd with pr0n is never unhappy.
    An unhappy nerd + pr0n = A happy nerd. Therefore Tentacle Robot + Tentacle Pr0n = A happy nerd. Makes sense to me.
  6. MOD PARENT DOWN on 'Cooking' Carbon Nanotubes Like Spaghetti · · Score: 0, Troll

    Parent is an often copied troll.

  7. Re:Home of the Underdogs - IP on Abandoned Games · · Score: 2, Informative

    Access it via the IP address. They're undergoing domain name negotiations.

    Me. Want. NOW. /sarcasm

  9. Oh, and on 'True' Video iPod Coming Soon · · Score: 5, Funny

    WTF do they mean by the ,i>true video iPod? Is this thing on a higher plane of existence or something? iPod 6D?

  10. So to sum up... on 'True' Video iPod Coming Soon · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's a rumor on an inconsistent website about a proposed product launch on April 1st.

    WTF.

  11. Re:er, wha?? on Could Linux Still Go GPL3? · · Score: 1

    No, GP is saying that the decision on who chooses the license is not RMS' to make. Which it isn't, as I said in my other post (which incidentally is at 1 while GP is +4).

  12. I've got a question on Could Linux Still Go GPL3? · · Score: 1, Troll

    Since when the fuck does RMS get a say in Linus' kernel? So he says it's up to the developers. That doesn't mean that it is. It's up to the Linus, not the developers, no matter what RMS says. It's not his kernel to license.

  13. Re:my experiences with AD&D on Fear of Girls, a D&D Documentary · · Score: 2, Funny

    What part of "Accidental Death and Dismemberment" did you not understand?

  14. Re:Sore Thumb on DoJ search requests: Yahoo, AOL, MSN said "Yes" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The issue is not about child porn. It is about kids watching porn, which frankly makes a nice excuse.

  15. Re:Him him him... on Panel Confirms S. Korean Cloning Fraud · · Score: 1

    Then why still refer to him as Dr. Hwang? By Western rules, it should be Dr. Woo-Suk. The article is inconsistent in its naming scheme.

    The next spambot to be added to your buddylist: PornBuddy! ... ...

    Is it spam if you care?

  17. He he he... on Panel Confirms S. Korean Cloning Fraud · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    The last time we had a story it was Woo-Suk Hwang...

    Interesting to see how everybody (including the news media) changed the name after all the bad jokes. woo suk hwang? apparently he doesn't anymore.

  18. Re:A look at? on A Look at Google DRM · · Score: 1

    Hey, I *liked* the cabbage fart crisis of '96...

    Seriously, when I discuss it and people have no clue what I'm talking about, it makes me feel important...

    I tried this out when I was a OOH SHINY!

  20. Re:Storms on Puzzling Electric Hurricanes · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    If there weren't morons who operated on the assumption that people believed science knew everything, then found a small flaw and used it to discredit science, then yes. It's just fundie insurance.

    You thought that was a weird name, yet you didn't blink at Bjarne Stroustrup?
