  1. Please oh please on Final Fantasy XIII Is Coming To Xbox 360 · · Score: 1

    DONT BE A XBL GAME! The previous Final Fantasy for Xbox was only Live and those kind of games take up too much time! I don't want to be playing the same damn game for more than two weeks. Sorry, but being addicted to the same game for years is fun in middle school and maybe highschool, but definitely not after the age of 20.

  2. SOLUTION on Disgruntled Engineer Hijacks San Francisco's Computer System · · Score: 1

    True serum TADA

  3. and TADA on EBay Deal Irritates Individual Sellers · · Score: 1

    ive always hated ebay ever since they perm banned me for listing "too many" of the same item. Not sure why that is against the rules, but hey, if they wanna lose the business it's not my problem. and then their little (not so little anymore) paypal fiasco. I wonder when paypal will get shut down? They have the worst support and policies.

  4. im sorry on Movie Review, Hellboy II · · Score: 1

    but this movie really wasn't good. i loved the matrix-elf dude though

  6. sorry apple on Full Review of the iPhone 2 On Launch Day · · Score: 1

  7. Call the Men in Black! on Nancy Pelosi vs. the Internet · · Score: 1

    Wipe this bitch's memory or something!

  8. Re:BLASPHEMY! on Linux For Housewives. XP For Geeks. · · Score: 1

    No no, this makes perfect sense.

    Housewives don't play video games and download a bajillion "utilities". Geeks do.

    Housewives want to browse the web and use e-mail, and have a stable safe system.

    Geeks love the chaos and security challenges that is posed by Windows.

    100% agreed. couldnt have put it better myself

  9. Isaac A on Sci-Fi Books For Pre-Teens? · · Score: 1

    I Robot

  10. A nice big bag of nugget on Gates' Last Day At Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I doubt he smokes weed, and being the rich man he is, it would be a waste if he didn't start the hobby, especially now that he's retired. So I would buy him a nice fat 20 bag that he and his wife could smoke right to their faces.

  11. An idea for Ebay haters on Ebay Fined $61M By French Court For Sales of Fake Goods · · Score: 1

    I just did this and I urge anyone else against this unfair company to do the same: Use their contact support form and rub this lawsuit in their faces! http://pages.ebay.com/help/newtoebay/about-support.html Then scroll down to this: Important: To send Customer Support email, you will need to be signed in to your eBay account. If you are unable to sign into your account, please use this link to contact us. I am an avid IT professional, and yes, this may seem a little bit immature, but Ebay is the most unfair company I have ever dealt with in my entire life and have cost me hundreds of dollars due to their unfair policies. So flame at me if you like ebay, you just haven't been scammed by them yet.

  12. Good and Bad on Ebay Fined $61M By French Court For Sales of Fake Goods · · Score: 1

    Well, I don't think that the companies have any right suing Ebay for that.. But I am very happy Ebay is being sued because of how bad their support is. I have been permanently banned from Ebay because I listed the same thing more than 10 times (I infact had about 15 copies of Adobe Photoshop (yes, legit) that I was trying to sell and they have a rule that I didn't know about that says you can't list more than 10 of the same item. Well, I guess Ebay believes that breaking that rule means you are worthy of a permanent ban. I can't register or make a new account! And when I try to contact them, they just give me the same BS "We cannot unban your account due to previous issues".

  13. haha on A Video Game To Teach AP Level Immunology · · Score: 1

    HAHA Not for Mac yet! Didn't even need to put that in there as it was already assumed. When I see a working version of Counter Strike on a Mac then I will bow down and throw away my 6-year-virus-free PC. But in all seriousness, I love Mac's, just can't afford one at the moment.

  14. Re:Cool! on Cancer Resistance Technique Moves To Human Trials · · Score: 1

    You are pathetic! Shut up or grow up. When are you going to realize that it wasn't their choice to be born that way? And even if it was their choice, it still wouldn't make a difference because they are just a little bit different looking. Ignorance is not bliss, ignorance is anger and hate! Bliss is happiness which leads to an ultimate understanding of yourself.

  15. Screenshot? on User Not Found, Email Drops Silently · · Score: 1

    I'd like to see the "self-destructing email that can't be saved, forwarded, or printed" get by the screen shot button.

  16. Re:It's the money, stupid on New Grads Shun IT Jobs As "Boring" · · Score: 1

    Yep, well said. At least they can't really outsource network administration (ex: the network goes down and can't remotely connect).

  17. Boring? I think they have things mixed up.. on New Grads Shun IT Jobs As "Boring" · · Score: 1

    If boring means that no one tells you what to do, then I'm all for it. I love being my own boss as an IT admin. No one watching me, no BS assignments, I decide what happens on my network and all the people using it are my n00bs. It's like a game, defend your network and take care of your army. People that get bored easily are n00bs at life. Everything is mystifying and magnificent if you look at it a certain way, you just need to have that open mind and a positive outlook and TADA, life is great.

  18. it's a test on Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement · · Score: 1

    What's next? Everyone's house gets searched for drugs? The government is just testing how far they can go.. WE have to fight back and let them know that this is pushing us too far.

  19. what a joke on Verizon, Comcast Say They Are P2P Friendly · · Score: 1

    i burst out laughing when i read this article, not only because its probably not going to happen, but because the things people are sharing via P2P are mostly illegal. this would be like if microsoft took off their genuine advantage thing

  20. Basics on Professors Slam Java As "Damaging" To Students · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Everyone should start with the basics, and learning about the lower level things going on is key. I'm glad I learned C/C++ in highschool, and I'm glad that I will continue learning it in college. Java is definitely a power language, but I do not think one should start out with it. I plan on learning it in my junior year of college.
