  1. Gargoyles?? on Why Game Exclusivity Deals Are Feeding the Hate · · Score: 2, Funny

    I am the Gateskeeper, are you the Wiimaster?

  2. Bizarro world on Virgin Media UK Pilots 200Mbps Broadband Speeds · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Something about "Give me Virgin speed" sounds a bit off-putting. Strange days.

  3. Ch Ch Ch Changes on Shuttleworth Says Ubuntu Can't Just Be Windows · · Score: 1

    With each successive release, windows just cant seem to be windows either.

  4. gahphone! on Fly An R/C Plane With an iPhone · · Score: 5, Funny

    Upon hearing this news the FAA has now banned iPhones as a kneejerk reaction to potentially taking over commercial flights, especially if you also use said iPhone to herd pigs via the iLivestock app.

  5. This is tribbling on Klingons Cut From Final Star Trek XI Movie · · Score: 4, Funny

    Smooth heads or bumpy?

  6. Palm Pre on Apple May Bring a Non-iPhone To Verizon Wireless · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I dont own an iPhone because it doesn't have a tactile keyboard. I believe that when Verizon realizes how much of a gimmick the Blackberry Storm was and finally picks up the Palm Pre, AT&T will lose millions of customers to Verizon/Palm.

  7. question and answer seem to work well on Why the CAPTCHA Approach Is Doomed · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...until AI gets smart enough to answer questions intuitively.

  8. Re:devil's advocate on How Do You Deal With Pirated Programs At Work? · · Score: 2, Informative

    BSA will fine/threaten lawsuit and then work out a settlement. The reward given to the whistleblower is a set amount based on the amount of the settlement. The whistleblower is never at risk of being exposed. So where do you work? ;)

  9. can you hear me now? on Apple and AT&T Sued, Again, Over 3G · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Gooood. If you can do without the iphone, go Verizon for 3G and don't look back.

  10. I can see it now... on Teacher Sells Ads On Tests · · Score: 4, Funny

    This test brought to you by CDABCCDACDBBACCADBC and the bonus question is 42.

  11. carriers should apply common sense.... on Canadians File Class Actions Over Incoming SMS Fees · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Unlimited Data Plans Should Include Unlimited Texting. Period. Anything Else Is Criminal.

  12. Charlie Dont Surf.... on Paper Stronger Than Cast Iron · · Score: 1

    ...and termites dont eat steel.

  13. Don't be silly on Guerrilla IT, Embracing the Superuser? · · Score: 1

    Turning rogue users loose to allow who-knows-what into your network??? Who keeps wtiting this irresponsible crap? Botnet articles cannot coincide with these articles, make up your minds.

  14. Learn a lesson Microsoft!!! on Vista Service Pack 1 Is Out · · Score: 4, Funny

    Few people play Quake 4 today as it was released roughly 1.5 years before it was ready for retail, then Activision expected the public to become guinea pig beta testers for a half-assed product. Microsoft should take a lesson, as Vista has become the same laughing stock as a video game for the exact same reasons. In other words, software companies need to make this quip their gospel: An Old Bull and a Young Bull were standing at the top of a hill overlooking a large meadow full of cows. The Young Bull says excitedly, "Let's run down there and fuck us a cow!" "No, son", says the Old Bull, "let's WALK down there and fuck them all."

  15. They're out there, but scarce.... on How to Recognize a Good Programmer · · Score: 5, Insightful

    After 15 years in IT, I've noticed that programmers as a lot typically cannot spell even the most basic 3-syllable words, so when you find a coder who actually spells properly get out your checkbook. Like it or not, being able to spell is a significant indication of character, especially the propensity for paying attention to detail (a trait you certainly want in a professional coder).

  16. Could have been rock band on What Is Your Game of the Year? · · Score: 1

    Mine could have been rock band, but after all 3 peripherals broke within the first week of play I'd have to say GHII. My pending news submission from Dec 19th tells all about the problems with Rock Band.

  17. Western Digital Automobile? on Western Digital Service Restricts Use of Network Drives · · Score: 1

    I heard a rumor WD will be teaming up with Ford and Microsoft to engineer a new line of cars. Every time you wish to transport passengers the doors will automatically lock just before they try to enter and the car asks "are you sure you want passengers?". All for your safety and security!

  18. The gaming crowd has hated Yahoo for years now... on Congressional Commitee Rips Yahoo Execs · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    All because they bought up the absolute best game server browser, All-Seeing Eye, and then proceeded to kill it. Dead. Fuck Yahoo right in its crooked ass, same for Sony.

  19. THANK GOODNESS on CompUSA Closing More Than 50 Percent of Stores · · Score: 2

    This is the moment many of us have prayed for. The beginning of the end of one of the most incompetent technology chains to have ever existed.

  20. Ladies and Gentlemen!!!! on Viacom Turns to Joost, Spurns YouTube · · Score: 1

    ....start your Torrent Clients!! Did the xxIA not get the memo that Pandora's box was opened and the key flushed down the internet tubes?

  21. Perhaps... on The Web Fueling A Crisis In Politics? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps if said politicians weren't totally power-hungry fucking assbags this wouldn't be so much of a problem for them.

  22. nowadays.... on John Carmack's QuakeCon Keynote Video · · Score: 1

    Today Carmack is just another programmer in a sea of much more talented and dedicated programmers.

  23. Re:I have one word: on Proving Which Spam Filters work Best · · Score: 1

    no, because you clearly misunderstand.

  24. I have one word: on Proving Which Spam Filters work Best · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Postini.

  25. Because it involves learning a new skillset on Put MediaWiki to Work for You · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Learning how to successfully edit a wiki page can be quite easy, however learning to completely manage a wiki and learn all of its editing and layout syntax is another matter altogether.
