  1. Re:It's than the Summary makes out on Encouraging Students to Drop Mathematics · · Score: 0, Informative

    No, no it's true. In fact, I am in Grade 10 right now, and we only briefly reviewed what constitutes the British exam question. We will be doing things similar to the Chinese question in grade 11, and even more in grade 12 and AP Math.

  2. Re:Caps lock key on PC World's 20 Most Annoying Tech Products · · Score: -1

    But you didn't use caps lock...You used shift! Just more proof that it is useless!

  3. Re:Uh huh. Yeah right. on Broadband Providers' Hidden Bandwidth Limits · · Score: -1

    Over here in Manitoba, I got sick of Shaws limit so I switched to MTS. Best decision I've ever made. Sure, my ping is a bit higher in CS:S, but I did download 161 GB in the last month, and it's cheaper than Shaw High Speed (tier 1). Plus, at least when I had Shaw, they throttled my bandwidth pretty bad for BitTorrent. I was getting 10 - 30kbps but now I get up to 400kbps!

  4. Re:Everyone sing along~ /o/ on US Group Wants Canada Blacklisted Over Piracy · · Score: -1

    "Seriously, though, I loved Toronto. If not for the cold, I'd live there!" Cold? COLD? Compared to the rest of Canada, Toronto is fucking tropical! Come live in Winnipeg, and wake up to -48 C weather on any day in January! And as far as summer goes, Toronto is mild as well! Goes to maybe 25 C in Toronto, while in Saskatchewan it has gone as high as 35 - 40! Toronto is VERY mild. They bundle up in layers when it dips below freezing, we here in the prairies just put on a sweater. Get off my lawn!

  5. Re:Why not? on Why the .XXX Domain is a Bad Idea That Won't Die · · Score: -1

    Actually, people don't exchange zygotes, they exchange sex cells that form a zygote.

  6. A defect? on Wiimote Straps Result in Class Action Suit · · Score: -1

    So according to this, these people are throwing their Wiimotes, letting them go, repeatedly, and then complaining that their purchase is experiencing wear and tear? That's like suing Mickey D's because their food makes you fat. Oh wait...

  7. Re:What about for driving? on Study Shows Cell Phones Safe · · Score: -1

    They didn't take into effect the amount of vehicular accidents caused by cell phones because that was not part of the study. The study merely proved that cell phones under normal usage are safe.

  8. Re:Yeaa for me, but hmmm on Twilight Princess Mirrored on Wii · · Score: 0, Informative

    Actually kinglink, Link is ambidextrous, like his creator, Miyamoto, but prefers to use his left hand.

  9. But Ken Kuteragi Said... on New Top500 List Released at Supercomputing '06 · · Score: -1

    This list must be wrong! Where is the PS3 supercomputer I heard about a while ago?

  10. I, Robot on Robot Dogs Evolve Their Own Language · · Score: 2, Funny

    I, for one, welcome our new robot dog overlords.

  11. Adventures Rule on Choose Your Own Adventure Books Return · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I remember reading these books... Unfortunately, I was always so unlucky with my choices I ended up not getting any good endings.

  12. Re:You can see how this came about: on Why Sony is Ready to Self Destruct · · Score: 1
    The Wii's only advantage (low price and that weird controller thingy) would be dramatically reduced by a cheaper PS3 - which also has a 6 degree of freedom controller and could run games like 'tennis' in the same way. Underpricing the Xbox 360 would be a huge win - and having better performance than anything else out there would seal the deal.

    EXCUSE ME? The PS3's controller could NOT do tennis. It detects tilt and acceleration. Let me explain: Ever seen those Kirby Tilt n' Tumbles? OR WarioWare: Twizted? That little sensor is in the PS3 controller (plus a [crappy] accelerometer)! Wow, not so impressive now is it? Check your facts.
