  1. Re:They should make out the medal to... on 2006 Fields Medalists Announced · · Score: -1

    I think you're thinking of Kevin Smith... Except for Jersey Girl... *shivers*

  2. Re:Help! on The Thalamus - The Kernel in Your Mind · · Score: 1, Funny

    Yeah, you need to press your nose, right ear, and left big toe at the same time... Poor bastard running windows...

  3. Re:noble, but... on War Declared on Caps Lock Key · · Score: -1

    That's what the Shift key is for. Most of the table names and other SQL conventions jump Caps to lower case so much having to hit caps lock would be counter productive to writing a good query. Aside from that, the caps isn't so much required as just a good convention to use for reading later.

  4. This is why I play GW on MMORPG Developers Warned of Security Risks · · Score: -1

    I know the same problems exist to a degree in Guild Wars (Gold Farming, selling of real world items, and new users being LAZY ("looking for run...") But, I have no credit card attached to the account so if it's lifted I'm out 50 bucks for the game and a LOT of wasted free time... I could only dream my character is worth $10k

  5. Re:GIft ideas on Tomorrow is System Administrator Day 2006 · · Score: -1

    ...And the sysadmins named "Nick" that suddenly start to expect a present will be let down now... Well, it's the thought that counts right?

  6. Re:Can he be stopped on Judge Bans Thompson from LA Videogame Case · · Score: -1

    I've been told that an expert in court is "Someone who knows more on a topic than (you) do." So, he can be concidered an expert unless the court (judge, lawyers, ect.) know more than him. Granted, we can throw a three year old in there and they'd be a better "expert".

  7. Blackberry use on Google Offering Live Traffic Maps via Cell Phones · · Score: -1

    Being a BES admin I'm always looking for this kind of thing. I already recommended my users to download this when it was still in beta and they ate it up. I'll have to see if it updated for them or if they'd have to reinstall to get the traffic. As for the new functionality, it seems a bit useless right now, I'll look again at 5 when traffic starts to build to see if there's any real benefit to my users or not.

  8. Re:Waste of time on Peter Cullen Chosen to Voice Optimus Prime (Again) · · Score: -1

    Aww, I was hoping no CGI at all. The return of people in giant plastic costumes... Ultraman lives!

  9. Re:pffft "reinvention" ... just bring back lead pa on Re-Inventing Hotwheels · · Score: -1

    Techo: Did you eat lead paint chips as a kid?
    Gabe: You mean wall candy?

  10. How about Gamefly on Do MMORPG's Cause People to Buy Fewer Games at Retail? · · Score: -1

    People seem to forget that most of us can just go rent a game a beat it in a weekend for the console. As far as I know you can't do that for the PC, so of course the PC games (and MMO's) have to be more dynamic to justify it's costs.

  11. Research cures all you want on Cancer Resistant Mouse Provides Possible Cure · · Score: -1

    I don't expect to SEE any. Research and "Life sustaining" drugs are WAY too profitable for anyone to cure the really major illnesses.

  12. Re:For anyone wanting expert info on the threat on Bird Flu Drug Mass Production Technique Discovered · · Score: -1

    Whoo! Does this mean people with other over active immune system condisions can swim out to the breakers and watch the world die?

  13. Re:What I'm wondering... on Bethesda Responds To Oblivion Re-Rating · · Score: -1

    Reminds me of Amazing Spider-Man #96-98 (the drug comics) that didn't have the comic code approval and is seen as one of the best spider-man comics. They just didn't have it on there and I'm wondering if games will do the same

  14. Correct me if I'm wrong on ESRB Changes Oblivion's Rating to 'Mature' · · Score: -1

    But if someone makes a mod to a game, the ESRB now reconciders its raiting? Welp, there goes the Mod community...

  15. CG Anyone on DOA Coming to the Theater Near You · · Score: -1

    Team ninja does GREAT CG. If this where like FFVII:AC I'd prolly give it more of a look.

  16. All server passwords are the same on Your Thoughts Are Your Password · · Score: -1

    Now they'll all be "Crap!" for when they go down...

  17. That was good sniping on The Comedy of Scott McNealy · · Score: -1, Troll

    But It's hard not to score a headshot on someone like Bill Gates

  18. Being one who spent time in a chair on Robotic Legs Instead of Wheelchairs · · Score: 0

    Here's your off road wheelchair answer

  19. Next step in evolution on Robotic Legs Instead of Wheelchairs · · Score: 3, Funny

    Now if this eliminates old guys on those damn Rascals, I'm all for the metal pants even if they are up to their armpits

  20. Re:What do they mean by violent? on Oklahoma Senate OKs Violent-Games Bill · · Score: 0

    On the bright side, between the Violence and men grabbing each other, hopefully they'll stop making WWE games...

  21. Re:Vint *who*? on Coalition Sounds Off on Net Neutrality Legislation · · Score: -1, Troll

    But wait! Al Gore invented the internet...

  22. Am I the only one... on Wisconsin Could Ban Mandatory Microchip Implants · · Score: 1

    who had the first episode of Futurama fash into his head?

  23. Re:Contrarian? on A Contrarian View of FFVII · · Score: 1

    If that's your agrument for the ninja wanna be, we'd like to bring our next witness to the stand: Tifa...

  24. Re:Contrarian? on A Contrarian View of FFVII · · Score: 1

    We're not naming names on the useless ones *cough* yuffie *cough*

  25. Re:It's all about respect on Why Game Movies Stink · · Score: 1

    It's like D&D: The Movie. It wasn't that BAD of a movie but people took it too seriously or not seriously enough. I sat down and about half way through it I turned to my friend and related a story about stupid Players. That's when it hit me, it was EXACTLY like D&D. Not really a kids game, but treated as such because of social stigma and some of the silliness that comes with Role Playing
