  1. More to it? on New Medical Disorder Linked To Gaming · · Score: 1

    I wonder if she also abstained from typing on a keyboard and texting on a cell phone. Kids are doing more and more things with their hands and fingers since child labor laws were enacted. Well, I just made that up, but I'm sure gaming isn't solely to blame.

  2. Re:Anti-abortion website blocked for good reason? on Australian Internet Censorship Plan Torpedoed · · Score: 1

    Hmm... that would be pretty annoying. In my neck of the woods they just put up pictures of cute babies and pull at your heart strings I guess.

  3. R18 and X18? on Australian Internet Censorship Plan Torpedoed · · Score: 4, Funny

    Is there like a master list of all the R18 and X18 sites...? I think I need to check it over to make sure they all deserve to be there.

  4. Re:Darkfail. on Darkfall Set For Launch · · Score: 1

    Curious, the review at MMOCrunch (TFA) actually made it sound really interesting and even fun. But good to hear multiple opinions about a game. Not that I have time to play an MMO these days anyway.

  5. Re:Let's do a reality check on Authors Guild President Wants To End Royalty-Free TTS On Kindle · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Decent TTS in a widely-used device will basically kill the audiobook market

    Ahh, no, it will probably not. Part of the bonus of listening to the audio book is the actual human narrator. Until the software can emulate the voices of some of the best readers around, including the actual author of the book, I will still prefer audiobooks when available.

    authors should be compensated in some way for the revenue lost there. What's wrong with that?

    Are you serious? With that logic, any company that has been put out of business by better technology and services should be compensated for their "lost revenue". Please, not every company needs to try the RIAA tactic when losing customers.

  6. Re:Ah, the era of homepages on Jurassic Web · · Score: 1

    Gentler and nicer but with a whole lot less information, delivered at a much slower rate, and even if the information was out there, most search engines were far too inadequate to actually find anything worthwhile.

  7. Re:Beta Testing on Outage Knocks Gmail Offline For Many Users · · Score: 1

    I'm curious if any of the paying customers, non-beta, were affected. Not curious enough to RTFA though.

  8. Re:An unintentional goodbye email... on The Art of The Farewell Email · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, did you reply back with a yes or no?

  9. Re:Gold digging on Judge Dismisses Google Street View Case · · Score: 1

    I love how these so called god fearing Christian Republicans

    Huh? Can you still say so-called when he doesn't even call himself that? You so-called Mormon Monarchists sure say the darnedest things.

    I have both and can use these without problems,

  11. Re:Wow... on 5 Powerline Networking Devices Reviewed · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sounds like my ex.

  12. Re:Only metric is time to transfer 8.05 GB? on 5 Powerline Networking Devices Reviewed · · Score: 4, Informative

    I have a Linksys PLK200 set connecting my living room to my basement router and over that I:

    Stream HD movies from Netflix
    Stream tons of other content from my media server
    Play online games over Xbox Live
    Surf the internets

    All without a problem. But then again I also use a wireless mouse and an LCD monitor to play first person shooters...

    I've also noticed no problems due to microwaves or the dishwasher.

  13. Re:Making Available on Half the Charges Against Pirate Bay Dropped · · Score: 4, Funny

    Except no one reads the articles.

  14. Re:How to use in stealth mode? on Casinos Warn iPhone Card-Counting App is Illegal · · Score: 4, Funny

    Someone above mentioned blackjack tables with pole dancers, just head to one of those tables, they won't wonder why you're playing pocketed then.

  16. Re:Chrono Trigger?? on Square Enix To Buy Eidos, Midway Files For Bankruptcy · · Score: 1

    I haven't played the game for years, so I don't remember the moment they appear, but I'm pretty sure you're still playing as Serge at this point so it has to be early on (the game was a LOT longer than it should have been).

    I don't think Chrono Cross is a bad game... it's just a really bad sequel to an amazing game. I think they should have just made it another Final Fantasy, it probably would have sold better and its existence probably wouldn't annoy me.

    Also, the music rocked in Cross, I will give it that.

  17. Re:suddenoutbreakofcommonsense on Cambridge, Mass. Moves To Nix Security Cameras · · Score: 1

    Soon you'll be able to "help" them with their mortgage and credit card bills too.

  18. Re:Chrono Trigger?? on Square Enix To Buy Eidos, Midway Files For Bankruptcy · · Score: 1

    It's a sequel, but it is hardly "packed with references" and is "explicitly set in the same world" only because they say it is. There's no sense of familiarity. And Schala was hardly a main character in the original, more like, hey, what happened to that one chick

    There's really only two scenes that explicitly tie back to Chrono Trigger, the first being that crappy scene where the ghosts of Crono, Marle, and Lucca are pissed at you, and the second being the final boss.

  19. Encryption? on New Tool Promises To Passively ldentify BitTorrent Files · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm assuming this has no chance of defeating encrypted connections?

  20. Neighbor believed this on Court Rules Autism Not Caused By Childhood Vaccine · · Score: 1, Interesting

    My neighbor believed this, her husband was dumbfounded, but he and the doctor couldn't convince her otherwise. I had never even heard of it before I had talked to her husband. Kind of sad.

  21. Re:The "Paper Mill" part is incidental on Google Buys Finnish Paper Mill · · Score: 1

    Not sure how much this matters, but Niagara is out in the middle of nowhere. Being between Rhinelander and Escanaba is pretty much guarantees that. Plus it's dangerously close to the UP.

  22. Re:I didn't know Feinstein was a Republican.... on Senator Diane Feinstein Trying to Kill Net Neutrality · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It shouldn't matter what opinion you have on net neutrality, there is absolutely NO reason this should be in the stimulus bill.
