  1. Re:Every non-metrosexual already knows this on For Obama, Jobs, and Zuckerberg, Boring Is Productive · · Score: 1

    Why would you want even wear? Then all of your clothes become worn out at the same time. Grabbing the first in line ensures a gradient wear across your clothing, allowing you to only replace a single item at a time while preserving a pristine collection of clothing for special occasions.

  2. Re:it's not about connectivity, it's about accessi on Jailbreaking the Internet For Freedom's Sake · · Score: 5, Insightful

    People go where the content is. If The Pirate Bay were only accessible over the Tor network there would be tons more traffic there, thus more information on how to access it. If enough content were only accessible over Tor soon there would be extensions for web browsers that would make it as easy to get there as any other site.

  3. Re:The problematic truth on Vista Post-SP2 Is the Safest OS On the Planet · · Score: 1

    I work for an OEM. We are small and sell mostly to businesses. However every system we sell has a Vista License and easily 99% of them have an XP DOWNGRADE installed on them. I am sure this is just because these businesses want to keep their OSes congruent with all their other systems. But they do buy the vast majority of our systems. You are right though, most the systems we sell to "regular folk" do have Vista installed. But that is a very small fraction of our sales.

  4. Early Days off Bill on Gamers Divorced From Reality? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Odd that he is so against video games, watch him here in his earlier days on an indepth expose of the Super Mario Bros. http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=2 0016

  5. Re:camera problems on The Mechanics of Motion Sensing · · Score: 1

    I believe the answer to that is, Magic.

  6. Re:Portability on Why HD-DVD and Blu-ray Are DOA · · Score: 1

    Well by then we will have huge flash sticks that can carry all that data. Much easier to carry around a complete TV serries on a keychain than lug around the boxset.

  7. Re:His prediction is 5 years too early on Why HD-DVD and Blu-ray Are DOA · · Score: 3, Informative

    Well according to this link we will start seeing 100 mbps downloads much sooner than that.

  8. Re:5 Years? on Mysteries of the Next-Gen Consoles Solved · · Score: 1

    That would cost like 220 million dollars...

  9. Re:My guess on Mysteries of the Next-Gen Consoles Solved · · Score: 1

    But there is significantly more $ spent on 360s than the other two. But significantly more money made with the Wii.

  10. Easy on Is An Uninformed Vote Better Than No Vote? · · Score: 1

    No, don't vote.

  11. Thought this was interesting on Why Sony Won't Lose The Next-Gen War · · Score: 1

    No console maker has ever dominated three consecutive platform generations. Seems they have forgotten Nintendo's winning streak. Gameboy, GBA, Nintendo DS.

  12. Re:Sony really losing ground? Already Are on Nintendo Profits Up 72%, Sony's Down 94% · · Score: 1

    Nintendo has been out selling Sony for quite some time. Once you factor in Nintendo dominance in the handheld market its not even close.

  13. Re:deep freeze on Securing a High School Windows XP Computer Lab? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Deep Freeze is truly the way to go. It is the single best program for a situation like this.

  14. Re:this is actually good on PS3 Controller Flimsy, Wii Controller Fun · · Score: 1

    Rumor has it that a Wii game aimed at getting people in shape is on its way. http://darkzero.co.uk/v4/games/news/10426/wii-nint endo-developing-wii-exercise-game

  15. Re:Wii will rock! on The State Of Wii Preorders · · Score: 1

    There is a large differnce between adding a thumbstick to a controller that already has a d-pad, and adding a wii-mote like device.

  16. Re:Chasing the Wind? on The State Of Wii Preorders · · Score: 1

    Nintendo plans on shipping 4 million by the end of the year, the only shortage is in pre-orders so EB doesn't end up with another 360 fiasco

  17. Re:Mod Me Off To Nintendo Hell... on Wii Pre-Orders at EB Games and Gamestop · · Score: 1

    $300 for a GameCube with a Power Glove? SWEET!

    "I love the nintendo power glove, it's so bad."

  18. Re:I don't! on Why Do We Prefer Sequels? · · Score: 1

    Baldur's gate was crap, Baldur's Gate 2 was a masterpiece.

  19. c64? on Commodore 64 Titles Join Wii's Virtual Console · · Score: 1

    What is a commodore 64?

  20. Look at chess on Revenge Of The Highbrow Games · · Score: 1

    Chess is just a game, yet it is still looked at with highbrow status, because it's not for every one and requires a lot of mental strain to play.

  21. pokemon nethack? Sweet on Does File-Sharing Really Hurt the Music Biz? · · Score: 1

    Hellz yea, I love Nethack. I never even thought about pokemon mysterious dungeon as a game I might buy, but I checked it out and it looks great.

  22. Nintendo Customer Service on 1 Million Wii Units At Launch · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well nintendo doesn't screw over their customers like sony does. When I had a DS with 1 dead pixel I sent it in to nintendo and they replaced it.
