  1. "it's also about video game culture" on UK Opens National Video Game Archive · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'd like to see how they capture all the bigotry and name calling on Xbox Live. Hopefully they have some recordings of actually taunts while playing Halo 3 online with some 12 year old kid.

    Will they also have a wax model of a 12 year old kid with cheetohs all over his fingers and lips?

  2. Re:Pundit on Internet Co-inventor Vint Cerf Endorses Obama · · Score: 1

    So he's not qualified to make a decision on politics because he's not related to the field. That means the only people we should listen to are politicians. That's scary.

  3. Re:Touchscreen?? on Asus Launches Touchscreen Eee Desktop · · Score: 3, Funny

    no because then there would be ball smears all over the screen.

  4. Re:So what does this mean for kids? on President Signs Law Creating Copyright Czar · · Score: 1

    $199! That's too pricey. I think I'll download a pirated copy of it instead.

  5. Re:So what does this mean for kids? on President Signs Law Creating Copyright Czar · · Score: 1

    I imagine that copyright law is a little more complex than that. Are they going to also teach 12 year olds that when they make their youtube videos of them with their friends, that they can't use their favorite bands song as the soundtrack. Legally they aren't supposed to post videos of video games since all that material is copyright protected. How far do they take it besides downloading MP3's?

  6. So what does this mean for kids? on President Signs Law Creating Copyright Czar · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Will schools start having Copyright people come to schools and talk to students about the wrongs of copyright violation?

  7. Re:Fist Prose on President Signs Law Creating Copyright Czar · · Score: 1

    Man that's a lot of trouble to go through just because I downloaded Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On".

  8. Re:Evil or incompetence? on "Iron Man" Release Brings Down Paramount's Servers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The downloads aren't mandatory. The BR players are just set to automatically download, which I'm sure most of them can turn this feature off. The content that the Iron Man movie downloaded was extra interactive features, like live chat. Not something required to view the movie. I am surprised that they didn't build their servers to handle such a popular movie. It's almost as if they didn't think Blu-Ray was that popular.

  9. Re:Dear know-nothing on Feds Unwrap $15M For Corporate Energy Reduction · · Score: 1

    Good thing it's an election year. Hopefully voters will change so that there will be a change.

  10. Re:Silly trend in science on "Dark Flow" Outside Observable Universe · · Score: 1

    Goth? What is this 1995? I believe you mean "emo science". It's science with emotion.

  11. Re:Just ask Walt Disney on Google Pushes Back Against US Copyright Treaty · · Score: 1

    With copyright being such a big deal these days, maybe it should be something we teach in middle school next to math and science. Especially since the RIAA is going after these kids anyways.

  12. Re:No I didn't Read TFA on Japanese Begin Working On Space Elevator · · Score: 1

    What if you broke it into sections? The cable takes you to a certain height, where then the cart connects to a new cable that takes it to the next section of cable.

  13. Re:Cartoon battlefield on US Congress Funds Laser Weapons · · Score: 1

    Awesome. Now I don't have to worry about my buddies in Iraq getting shot out of a jet or tank because I know they will always eject or exit the vehicle a split second before it explodes.

  14. Re:Prior to the filter? on US Army To Develop "Thought Helmets" · · Score: 1

    It's really to see who is gay and who is not. Whoever has gay thoughts will have to be let go because remember it's a don't ask don't think it type of military.

  15. Re:What has amazed me more on Ford's 65MPG Due In November, But Not In the US · · Score: 1

    Well aren't you describing the car GM made and destroyed? EV1

  16. Re:Does that mean it can run on BIOdiesel? on Ford's 65MPG Due In November, But Not In the US · · Score: 1

    I heard that the US slaps a ton of tariffs on the importing of ethanol in the US because ethanol makers in the US can't make it as cheaply as other countries. So the tariffs are there to help get the imported price as high as the domestic price. This was being done even in the Clinton days. We could have cheaper ethanol but Uncle Sam says not on his watch.

    Also, doesn't our current president always say that only one third of our oil is imported? I don't think the Saudis are the ones taking our money.

    Smog is nothing more than climate change.

  18. Re:Or maybe... on Inexpensive USB LCD With Linux Drivers For LCDproc · · Score: 1

    I think you are missing the point here though. It can display stock quotes. So when you enter that server room and want to see the hostname, IP, kernel version, etc, now you can see stock quotes along with the other important info. Not only that, but you can check the weather. Damn that's sweet.

    I know what you're thinking, "but I can easily do those things through Vista Gadgets, OSX Gadgets, iGoogle Gadgets, and so on and so on". Well my response to that sir is, can you do those things while spending $50 to do so?

  19. Re:Right Question.... Wrong Answer. on Apple Losing Touchscreen War · · Score: 1

    This is true. I use to work for a mobile phone content provider and to this day it is still popular to make animated gifs for cellphones for American phones, because that old tech is still in most of the phones in America. America has always been 1-2 years behind on cell phone technology when compared to Europe and Asia.

  20. Re:attn on Apple Losing Touchscreen War · · Score: 1

    Next time try saying "I just i-shit my i-pants" and you'll avoid all this troll business. I love the i-phone, mod me up.

  21. Adrive.com Has Served Me Well on Online Storage With a Twist · · Score: 1

    I've found Adrive.com works well. 50GBs for free. Plus I don't know how I feel about storing other peoples files on my computer.

  22. Re:Yes on Can You Be Sued For Helping Clients Rip DVDs? · · Score: 1

    I don't know if this is meant as a joke, but it is hilarious and true.

    What's the legality of going to the library and checking out some CDs and ripping them to iTunes?

  23. I gotcha on ITunes 8 a Real Killer App; Taking Down Vista · · Score: 1

    It's a new vista theme pack that comes with iTunes.

  24. Who's going to fear skynet now? on Automated News Crawling Evaporates $1.14B · · Score: 1

    With bots making these mistakes I have high hopes that the machine vs man war will never take place, or is this their evil plan to slowly destroy us one stock broker at a time.

  25. Re:That's what? on 1,500-Ship Fleet Proposed To Fight Climate Change · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    John McCain is that you? Is this your new platform? Americans will die without fossil fuels. You can't die from lack of fossil fuels, but you can die from global warming.
