  1. Re:In the south bay... on Magnitude 6.0 Quake Hits Northern California, Causing Injuries and Outages · · Score: 1

    I was wondering if Sunnyvale even felt it, because I slept right through.

  2. Re:Are movies worth it? on Why Netflix Had To Raise Its Prices · · Score: 2

    You should take up the basics of web design as one of those hobbies...

  3. Re:Nothing to see here, move along on Expensify CEO On 'Why We Won't Hire .NET Developers' · · Score: 1

    I thought Windows Phone 7 apps were coded in Silverlight and XNA?

    Silverlight and XNA are APIs/libraries that sit on top of the .NET framework.

  4. Damn orange button! on Google Wants To Take Away Your Capslock Key · · Score: 1

    How am I supposed to program BASIC on this thing? My poor pinky will get all tired...

  5. Re:Sold Stolen Property to Highest Bidder on The 4G iPhone's Finder Reportedly Located · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I guess Wired was a little smarter than Gizmodo.

  6. Pooh! on PlayStation 3 Delay Official · · Score: 1

    Completely off-topic (label it so if it pleases you), but I didn't get this story in first. Darn anonymous coward :-P I 'spect the PS3'll be the last console to launch stateside.

  7. Re:Finally! on Classic Game Endings Online · · Score: 1

    Of course, you have to make it to the first palace first :-P

  8. Re:Oh wowee on Maglev Elevators by 2008? · · Score: 1

    Sideways, frontways, slantways, backways and all the other ways you can think of.

  9. Spec, schmeks :-P on ATI Talks Revolution Graphics · · Score: 1

    As long as it illuminates pixels on a TV I'll be happy :-) btw, first post ;-)

  10. Huh? on The Death of Used Game Sales? · · Score: 1

    Is Sony trying to make sure the PS3 is a total and absolute failure? Do they even have anything at all?

  11. Re:I don't get it on CA Violent Games Bill Comes Under Fire · · Score: 1

    Oooohh... my bad. I'd always thought that movie ratings were law enforced.

  12. I don't get it on CA Violent Games Bill Comes Under Fire · · Score: 1

    A) How does barring minors from such games violate free speech? Last I saw free speech just allowed me to say whatever I wanted, not do whatever I wanted. B) I don't see anybody complaining about the fact that minors aren't allowed int an R[+] rated movie. In my mind games kind of fall under the same category.

  13. Re:The real question is on 2005 Will Probably be Warmest on Record · · Score: 1

    In about 11.38 million years. I hope that doesn't dissapoint you too much.

  14. Donkey Kong the new drug? on The Future of Videogame Aesthetics · · Score: 0, Troll

    "photo-realism is nonetheless a worthwhile technological achievement to aim for, because it is through this that games will attain the sensation of a lucid dream." Yeah, in other words let's make video games the new crystal meth :-P

  15. Amazing on Yahoo and Microsoft to Merge Instant Messengers · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Could this be a step towards a single IM protocol? Not XMPP, but good enough for me :-)

  16. Re:how many people actually _like_ windows? on Pepping Up Windows · · Score: 1

    I love WinXP. I personally have never had a problem running XP (been using it for about 3 years now). It looks great, it works great, what else do you need?

  17. Nintendo has all the ideas on The History of the Game Controller · · Score: 0, Troll

    At least this article gave credit where credit was due (unlike IGN's recent controller article). Nintendo came up with almost every controller idea and was subsequently ripped off by everybody else. I'm sure the Revolution controller will be just like all their other ones... Revolutionary!

  18. Re:we're talking minors here on Dissecting U.S. Violent Game Bills · · Score: 1

    Bingo

  19. Dang, he's older than me :-P on Happy Birthday Mario · · Score: 1

    However, he's given us 20 years of revolutionary gameplay. Go, Mario!

  20. Kerblooie! on How About a Nice Game of Global Thermonuclear War? · · Score: 1

    And with the snap of a finger... NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST!! Seriously, I doubt it'll be used.

  21. Re:I remember on Windows Incompatibilities Frustrate D.C. Schools · · Score: 1

    Yeah, kind of hilarious to read an MS bashin' article while a Visual Studio.NET ad plays :-P

  22. Typical on Windows Incompatibilities Frustrate D.C. Schools · · Score: 1

    It just wouldn't be slashdot without an anti-Windows article now and again :-P

  23. Finally on Clever Artificial Hand Developed · · Score: 5, Funny

    For those of you who have had their hands severed by their father, relief has come!

  24. That's a lot on Nintendogs Sells Quarter of a Millions Units · · Score: 1

    A quarter of a millions, eh? That could be anything up to 250 million :-P

  25. Re:Returning to IE on Plugin Lets Users Turn IE into Firefox · · Score: 1

    I'm glad to know I'm not the only person out there who's used Firefox and still prefers IE, though I use IE because of speed and simplicity (couldn't care less about tabbed browsing).
