  1. 100 Things We Knew Then That We Don't Now on 100 Things We Didn't Know This Time Last Year · · Score: 1

    1. ...

    I really don't know.

  2. Re:Buttons on the outside? on The Year's Best Gadget Ideas · · Score: 1

    Hmm, really?

    Here in college, it's almost always either too loud to hear it, which is why I keep it on vibrate in my pocket. And if I do hear it, my old phone would answer itself when I was taking it out of my pocket - whether I wanted to accept or not.

    I don't have many complaints about my flip-phone, but it's still a bit on the quiet side.

  3. Re:Buttons on the outside? on The Year's Best Gadget Ideas · · Score: 1

    My last phone was not a flip-phone, and I did use keylock. But if the buttons come alive when the phone is doing something, what's the point of locking the keys in the first place? I don't want a call to be answered because my pants are too tight.

  4. Buttons on the outside? on The Year's Best Gadget Ideas · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is it just me, or does that "feature" completely remove the whole purpose of a flip phone?

    The main reason I use a flip phone myself is so that I can carry it around in my pocket without having to mess around with the keylock - and by the time you turn keylock off, the call goes bye-bye. If they put on the outside, you can't just slip it in your pocket and go - there will be a lot more missed calls.

  5. Re:Does this make sense? on RIAA Bullies Witnesses Into Perjury · · Score: 1

    I believe the case wasn't against the girl herself, but against her daycare owners, who's computer was allegedly used for p2p. They were saying that if they didn't have a case, then they might go after her and her mother.

  6. Re:Analyst on drugs on Microsoft's Big Bet on Online Gaming · · Score: 1

    Blanket generalizations are almost always wrong.

    No they're not.


    Yes, they are almost always wrong - Every single blanket statement will have at least one person try to contradict it.

  7. Re:15 minutes? on First Military Exoskeleton Reaches Prototype · · Score: 1

    It's been done in something called Evangelion.

  8. Re:Before you post on how vapid this story is... on The Top 10 Weirdest USB Drives Ever · · Score: 1

    Actually, for me, it's Saturday morning, and no hangover as usual ;-)

  9. Re:Kansas... on Kansas Anti-Creationism Professor Resigns · · Score: 1

    More like, We're really US, OK?!

  10. Re:is google trying to take over the world... on Google Transit Now In Beta · · Score: 1

    I know the Washington, DC metro offers a similar service on their website. Metro

  11. Re:Worried about Nintendo on The Revolution's Power And Launch Date · · Score: 1

    While Advance Wars allows you to use it, creating a much better conrol scheme, I believe it's most suited, even more so than a mouse, for RTS, both ports and not. It's much more intuitive to move a unit by pointing to it than to move a thing with a cord on it until an arrow points to it.

  12. Re:very cool on The Earliest Documented Video Game · · Score: 1

    Much more complex than pong, but the controls are a bit different. In this, you can see they use a dial and button to use it - nobody actually used a dial for a game since then I believe.

  13. Re:My suggestion on What Tools Do You Use for UI Prototyping? · · Score: 1

    Glad others think like me. When I start a new project, I always get a cheap one-dollar spiral notebook to keep interface sketches, weird code highlights, etc.

    Also, if my game ever becomes popular, how much will that notebook cost? ;-)

  14. Re:Why? on Cellphone Songs Overpriced? · · Score: 1

    Personally, I like to know when my phone is ringing. How about you?

  15. MOD PARENT UP. on Prepping For The 360 · · Score: 1

    Ironically true.

  16. Looks like... on Stereo View of the Sun · · Score: 1

    Hey, who turned down the detail level? All I see is a yellow sphere!

  17. Re:Can Men Multitask? on Watching All Six Star Wars Movies Simultaneously · · Score: 1

    A woman watching Star Wars for fun. Yup, believable.

  18. All about profit? on MMOG Giants Prepare For Battle · · Score: 1

    "So when you see somebody who's willing to pay a hundred to two hundred dollars a year for item transactions, we also want to capture that revenue."

    Duh? Basically, they want a way to make money from the people that are addicted enough as to pay real money for that sword or what have you.

    Incidentally, they should take a look at the person who made thousands of dollars from land transactions here.

  19. How soon on 18 Megapixel Game World Maps · · Score: 1

    How soon can I use this as my computer screen?

  20. Re:The line up so far on The Death of Used Game Sales? · · Score: 1

    Other than being a semi-fanboyish comment, this pretty much describes the line-up.

    The revolution controller attachments isn't really innovative - DDR pads and microphones, anybody? The innovative thing is true, but the Xbox also has the hard drive going for it.

    The ps3 is still too far away to make a judgement.

  21. Inconsiderate? on Beyond The Storm - Gaming in New Orleans · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Am I the only one that feels this is very inconsiderate to the people that lived there? It's giving people a way to roleplay the disaster?

  22. Shortage? Not of advertising. on How Bad Will The 360 Shortage Be? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Even if there is a shortage, I predict it will be extremely short lived.

    Also, this is all artificial. Slashdot is proof of it - there is an advertisement every day on this supposed shortage - most of us even believe it now because its been drilled into our heads for so long.

  23. Re:Rebuttal: on XBOX 360=Dreamcast 2.0? · · Score: 1

    It doesn't. Sadly, this will probably make Microsoft money, for no cost whatsoever.

  24. Biased much? on XBOX 360=Dreamcast 2.0? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Hmm, I read it, but then put it down in disgust on reason number 7:

    D: Had tons of amazing games...but no Halo 3.
    X: Will have Halo 3. And it will be huge.


    That point being given to the XBox? To put it bluntly, this is biased crap.

    Hahah, cute.
