  1. Re:All Hail the Oracle on Tom's Hardware Reviews ATI and Nvidia on Linux · · Score: 1

    Students have to pushed in order actually do anything. When I was taught to swim, they threw me in the water and let me flail around until I could swim. Now they hand you a book on swimming and call it equivalent.

  2. Re:Once is ok, but twice is too much... on Debian Server Compromised · · Score: -1, Troll

    Then use Red Hat. You won't be missed.

  3. Re:It would make sense for all sites to communicat on Northrop to Sell Laser Shield Bubble for Airports · · Score: 1

    Finally my robot brethren will be able to rise up and shake off these chains of robot oppression. Your time on this world, human, is at an end!

  4. Re:bling on Review: Nerdcore Hip-Hop Compilation CD Project · · Score: 2, Funny

    Back in my day, boy, we wore motherboards around our necks, holstered dremel tools, and spike our hair with thermal grease.

  5. Re:Customers vs. Shareholders on Technology Rewriting the Rules of Business · · Score: 1

    Or buying music and movies on discs.

  6. Re:Killer Mania! on SUSE Linux Enterprise 10, a Closer Look · · Score: 5, Funny

    Are you proposing a killer killer?

  7. Re:Doesnt Nintendo have the rights to the IP? on New Eternal Darkness Titles Promised · · Score: 1

    Nintendo has that patent on the sanity system though, and that was the best part of the game.

  8. Re:Ah, sockets... on AMD Admits To Slowing Sales · · Score: 1

    I thought gaming was the point of new hardware purchases. My mistake.

  9. Re:Of course AMD Sales are Down... on AMD Admits To Slowing Sales · · Score: 1

    If in 2 years time that PC is no longer good enough for you, then get it upgraded.

    Replace "get it upgraded" with "buy a new MB, CPU, RAM, and video card." The way they go through sockets and memory requirements these days, it will be the only way to stay current with the tech.

  10. Re:No Brainer on Deleted Screenplay Fails To Make Money · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that the entertainment industry can say that it lost another $2.7m to napster?

    It means they saved money by not buying a crappy $2.7 million screenplay.

  11. Re:Wait, There's more... on Jeff Minter on Sony's Arrogance · · Score: 1

    Unless it can cook me a steak and murder an intruder, then I don't think it deserves a $500 price tag.

  12. Kill them all on Stephen Hawking Asks The Internet a Question · · Score: 1

    Kill all the lawyers and politicians. That's how we'll survive.

  13. Not surprised on A Lost Miyamoto Project - Super Mario 128 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I would be surprised if he didn't have unfinished work on his desk. The fact that he's using elements from 128 in Galaxies probably means that only the best parts were used and the rest was fodder. The fact that 128 stayed unfinished is probably a good thing.

  14. Re:difference: on Is Simplified Spelling Worth Reform? · · Score: 1

    Actually, I like that idea, and I was being serious about public executions. Let's combine the two and bring back execution by axe.

  15. Re:difference: on Is Simplified Spelling Worth Reform? · · Score: 1

    And public executions, right?

  16. Re:Taking bets... on Microsoft to Support ODF via Plug-In · · Score: 2, Interesting

    For one, are they going to accept bugfixes?

    Have you never heard of a fork?
    You could call it "The One True ODF Converter" if you wanted to distinguish it.

  17. Re:The last thing the world needs is more landmine on Networked Landmines Work Together · · Score: 1

    The word "protest" comes to mind. You may have heard the word before.

    I admit it was poor english and word choice on my part, but you people read too much into it.

  18. Re:My Tech Support Story on Your Favorite Support Anecdote · · Score: 1

    I just love happy endings!

  19. Re:Man, I can't wait for this to come out!! on FreeDOS Not Dead; 1.0 Release Imminent · · Score: 1

    I was talking about the psychological damage that "GUI" inflicted upon me, but that was pretty good. LOL

  20. Re:The last thing the world needs is more landmine on Networked Landmines Work Together · · Score: 1

    Life will find a way. ;-)

  21. Re:HOLD IT! on The Grumpy Gamer Speaks · · Score: 1

    Have you noticed that the big N has been on a streak of "crazy" games, handhelds, and consoles. DS: Stylus? WTF? Is this a game machine or a PDA? Phoenix Wright: WTF? Law? In a game? You're joking! How's that entertaining? Wii: What a dumb name! And that crazy controller is just stupid.

    Of course, those views changed. I just don't think big N, or any Japanese publisher, would take this guy seriously.

    They tried that once. I'm still recovering from Windows 3.1

  23. Re:The last thing the world needs is more landmine on Networked Landmines Work Together · · Score: 2, Insightful

    He's already accepted this fact. He made a weapon. He made a weapon that communicates with others of its kind. He made a weapon that hops around a field. It's pretty cool.

    Sure, these things were made to kill. So were guns and swords. Trying to make someone feel bad about it is just silly. So long as a single being exists on this planet there will be conflict. We just happen to use tools to do it.

    If you really want to make a difference, go after the governments that use and commission these weapons. They are the reason the market for them exists.

  24. Re:Dune on Flying Robots Made From Cellophane? · · Score: 1

    Did you never see the 1984 movie? (The books and mini-series never had the sonic weapons. It was thrown into the movie for some reason, and since the games are based on the movie they always include those weapons. Gay, but I think Westwood bit the dust some time ago.)

  25. Re:What? on New Human-Powered World Hour Record · · Score: 2, Informative

    World Hour Record. That's how far he went in one hour. Divide the distance by the time and you get the rate (85.4km/h).

    And if that's not the answer to your question, could you provide more information next time?
