  1. Smiley on War Declared on Caps Lock Key · · Score: 1

    I fear that if they did get rid of this very important key, they would end up putting a goddamn smiley faced key there!

  2. Re:Which games? on Nintendo Confirms Free Online Play For Wii · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Mariokart! Goldeneye!!!! damn, that would be sweet.

  3. What am I missing on Studios OK Burning Movie Downloads · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I can burn stuff to a DVD and play it in a regular DVD player with no problem. Does Nero use illegal tech to make this happen? I understand that bypassing DRM might be illegal, but how is the encoding of the disc to play in a DVD player illegal right now?

  4. Inaccurate on Bully Trailer Hits the Web · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure this is exactly the game we were expecting. It was written previously that the game would be under this exact premise. I don't understand the title.

  5. Re:..and the lack of rail options... on Charter Flight Websites / Services? · · Score: 1

    Then the arabs will just start bombing the trains.... and the rules will come there too.

  6. Re:Or... on Charter Flight Websites / Services? · · Score: 1

    Security usually only takes about a half an hour... 3 hours is a gross exaggeration.

  7. WSE on The FSF, GPLv3 and DRM · · Score: 2, Funny

    Worst Summary Ever

  8. Re:Dupe! on Deja Vu Recreated in a Lab Setting · · Score: 1

    That was his point fool! It was a joke!

  9. woah on MySpace Down Due To Power Surge · · Score: 0, Troll

    Breaking news! Some stupid website for girls, high school kids, and pedophiles went down! Oh nos! I hope it stays down forever. It's a piece of trash website.

  10. Bartend on The Birth of PC Gaming · · Score: 1

    Hey, anybody else ever play that game in the mid eighties where you were a bartender and had to run back and forth bringing beers to the patrons? It was a badass game. If you went too slow they got mad and slid you down the bar. I would like to find an online version sometime but can't find one. I used to play it on the PC Jr.

  11. Re:Speed reading bad... on Sony Online Licenses Unreal Engine for DC MMOG · · Score: 1

    That isn't what it means?

  12. whatever on Card Locks Thwarted by Shopping Club Card · · Score: 1, Informative

    This summary made shit for sense.

  13. Card Game? on How America Changed the Mario Brothers · · Score: 1

    ummm there's a card game at the end of every level in Mario 3?

  14. "Web Bangers" on Gangs on the Internet · · Score: 1

    hmmm.... that sounds like it has different connotations

  15. Re:Did AP also miss.... on AP Looks at Piracy, Misses the Point · · Score: 1

    This is the perfect response to this stupid article! I'm all for less stringent copyright regulation, but to argue that large scale piracy is actually a good thing is a dumb idea. I was trying to come up with an analogy to put it in perspective for people, but you beat me to it.

  16. CB Radios on Cell Users As Bad As Drunk Drivers · · Score: 1

    I'll stop talking on my cell while driving when truck drivers aren't allowed to use CB radios while driving. If I wreck I cause a lot less damage than an 18 wheeler.

  17. Re:Lost for words? on WGA Turning Off PCs in the Fall? · · Score: 1

    I am pretty sure that not being locked out of your OS to be a Genuine Advantage. Not installing this program and facing the consequences would certainly be a Genuine Disadvantage. I think the name fits perfectly. You still have a few options to get out of this too. You can 1) buy windows 2) install Linux or 3) use the crack to get around this once it comes out.

  18. Smart Guns on Encrypted Ammunition? · · Score: 1

    The idea of "Smart guns" has been around for a while. Recently Andrew Cuomo (leading canidate for NY attorney General) has stated he will push for mandated smart guns if elected. What a douchebag. More info at wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Gun

  19. Re:And this is indeed a serious problem with EBay. on How to Win on Ebay: Snipe · · Score: 1

    This will statistically favor the users who's auctions end more toward the end of the hour. Many people watch the last few minutes of auctions they are bidding on just in case they decide they want to bid more. If they go to watch the end of the auction at 10:00 and end up sitting there for 30 minutes, there is more time for people to outbid each other than if it ends in 2 minutes.

  20. NFL on The Rise and Fall of Sega · · Score: 1

    And now they even lose their great football game franchise because of the NFLPA's deal with Madden. That sucks, sega has a much better football game.

  21. Re:craigslist revamped recently on WSJ on CraigsList and Zen of Classified Ads · · Score: 1

    Yes, they added about 100 new cities to the site.

  22. Re:Profit! on A New Search for MySpace · · Score: 1

    Doh, forgot break tags.... shoulda previewed. :(

  23. Profit! on A New Search for MySpace · · Score: 1

    Step 1: Use a third party search engine for your website Step 2: ???? Step 3: Profit!!!

  24. Woah on The Best of Xbox Back Compat · · Score: 0

    I had to stare at that title for a minute trying to figure out what the hell "compat" was. No room for ability?

  25. Re:Incomprehensible article titles, part XIX on Another Sky Press Driving Neo-Patronage · · Score: 1

    Yep, I agree totally. From the article:

    At the time of this writing, searching Google for the term 'neo-patronage' (and 'neopatronage') returns only a handful of matches

    Yet we are assumed to know what it means? Here I'll fix the headline for you guys.....

    Publishing Company Offers New model For E-Books

    There, now we've eliminated neo-patronage since we don't know what it means. And we've also not mentioned the confusing name of the company we've never heard of. You're welcome.
