  1. Re:2 Things You Don't Know About Dolphins on A Dolphin By Any Other Name · · Score: 1

    3) they are vicious predators... with their slick skin and beady eyes

  2. dolphins: unleashed on A Dolphin By Any Other Name · · Score: 1

    how can we be sure that the dolphins didn't just learn this over the last couple of decades or so? maybe they are pressured by the worsening environmental conditions to evolve into, i don't know, aquatic overlords of some kind?

  3. DXX as a Roman numeral on DirectX 10 & the Future of Gaming · · Score: 1

    520, actually, but close.

  4. oblivion invisibility on Cloak of Invisibility Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Just to set the record straight, invisibility gets dispelled every time you pick up an object or open a door. On the other hand, 100% Chameleon doesn't have the vulnerability. So, to eliminate the confusion, it is better to refer to the effect as the chameleon effect, not invisibility.

  5. Re:But Goose Died! on 'Revenge of the Nerds' Remake in the Works · · Score: 1

    they already made a remake of The Hidden Fortress. It is called: S--- W--- Episode 4. Serious.

  6. better idea on Texas Senator Proposes Game Tax · · Score: 1

    Always gotta come after the little man, huh? How about a 5% tax on high end multi-GPU 512MB DDR3 KO-edition video cards instead?

  7. Re:Huh? on Intel Admits To Falling Behind AMD · · Score: 5, Funny

    AMD's response:

    I love it when you "giants" be talking, saying my name,
    Seems like your mouth is not connected to your brain,
    X Sixty Four and HT, it ain't the same,
    Better have a strap, Intel, simple and plain,
    Put your FSB on the table, let's play the game,
    Heard you so long, you be up to take the pain,
    I don't wanna hear what you meant, do not explain,
    As you lose your market share, say my name.

  8. Re:redundancy = your secret is safe (with us) on Open Source Moving in on the Data Storage World · · Score: 1

    that's why I said that it is going to be "viewed" like that. it won't necessarily be less secure. and of course you are forgetting what any corporate/military/government official would answer to your query: "what good is keeping the data out of the wrong hands if the RIGHT HANDS can never get to it"

  9. redundancy = your secret is safe (with us) on Open Source Moving in on the Data Storage World · · Score: 1

    generally, speaking the more copies of something you have floating around, the larger the probability they get into the wrong hands. so this whole redundancy thing is just going to be viewed as a huge security breach, and never really become popular...

  10. premium on Chinese Gaming Market to Reach $2.1B In 2010 · · Score: 1

    Premium casual gaming is when you play casually for 12 hours and then afterwards look up at the clock and say: "hey, not bad! I am going to treat myself to another 1.2 hours of casual gaming for 'free'".

  11. details? on Apple's All-Seeing Screen · · Score: 1

    TFA doesn't give any details, lol. if the sensors are sandwiched between the regular image-producing liquid crystals that should put an upper bound on their density, killing the resolution. not to mention that an image "stitched together" from thousands of tiny (but physically spread out) sensors, has got to look like it is on drugs.

  12. Re:The Sims2 AI on EA's E3 Lineup · · Score: 1

    you forgot Black and White: - creature impossible to toilet train and leaves its poo everywhere - forget about being a purely evil god with an evil creature

  13. Re:Just fine on Blu-Ray/HD-DVD Talks End · · Score: 2, Funny

    yeah so now we just need a small independent party to come up with a next generation format which will use a green laser. Didn't Ralph Nader tell you to "be prepared"?

  14. Re:E3 - who cares? on EA's E3 Lineup · · Score: 1

    traditionally, all Maxis games are CPU-heavy, but this life simulation thing is practically guaranteed to be nuts. That's what is going to be the real problem here. Faster video cards are rolling out on like a monthly basis, but not so with the CPUs which have recently switched to increasing the number of cores, rather than the raw frequency. So, either Spore will require a dual core CPU or it will cut down on a bunch of features, or they are going to delay it for year.

  15. Re:shil for logitech? endorse a mouse? on CPL World Tour 2006 Cancelled · · Score: 1

    actually Fatal1ty gear isn't that great. The razorback mouse is literally nothing compared to a Logitech G5 in terms of the dpi and gaming qualities, not to mention the design. Similarly, the Abit Fatal1ty SLI mobo isn't really laid out that well, doesn't have any innovative features, and is not as expandable (less slots, etc.) than its counterparts made by Asus and DFI. The bottom of the line is that a real pro gamer would never buy a Fatal1ty, if he is in the market for "pro" and "high-end" gear at all.

  16. Re:This is why on Lara Croft As The Final Girl · · Score: 1

    Oh no, it is Will Hunting!

  17. Turing test? on Fake Scientific Paper Detector · · Score: 5, Insightful

    so can a robot write a paper and then decide whether the paper was written by a robot (itself)?

  18. Re:Hah! on Oblivion Headed to PSP & PS3 · · Score: 3, Informative

    The PSP version is going to be all sprite-based. My source is the advertisement leaflet that came inside the Oblivion box (for PC).

  19. Re:Oh for gods sakes... on Oblivion Headed to PSP & PS3 · · Score: 1

    Read the elder scrolls forums, they got it to run on an FX.

  20. xbox360 and ps3? on Oblivion Headed to PSP & PS3 · · Score: 1

    with Oblivion no longer exclusive to the xbox360, the Console Wars are totally going to be a dogfight. However, they should have done the PS3 version first, so that the xbox version could get parallelized better (and make a better use of the power triple core)...

  21. Re:Gee, ya think? on The Biology of Network Security · · Score: 1

    correct if i am wrong but what kind of cop out is this to make yet another closed VM? of course that will make software that runs on it impenetrable to viruses... but then what about the VM itself?

  22. microwave? on Wisconsin Could Ban Mandatory Microchip Implants · · Score: 2, Funny

    is it true that you can destroy these chips by sticking the afflicted part of your body in a microwave (for a couple of seconds)? i just like planning ahead...

  23. Re:You mean Caen, don't you? on French Town Tests Cashless Society · · Score: 0

    the drug dealers accept plastic too? can they put you on a payment plan, like? or is it "I regret to inform you, sir, your credit has been reached and breached quite some time ago... ahh, hard currency, that will do nicely." (Trainspotting)

  24. uhhh... on Square And Nintendo, E3 Lineup · · Score: 0, Offtopic

  25. Re:What about Blizzard on Big Three Confirm Pre-E3 Events · · Score: 1

    there isn't going to be a diablo 3 since there is hellgate:london now. but there is going to be a starcraft mmo. ok, jk.
