  1. Ah... on Fruit Flies Show Spark of Free Will · · Score: 0

    I will choose a path that's clear... I will choose free will. [Maybe in the future, fruit flies can play the solo, too...]

  2. Yes, audio will be important; on Halo 3 Beta Impressions · · Score: 2, Funny
    "Audio cues are more important than ever, and the better your sound system the more next-gen this will feel."

    Now, instead of hearing 12 year olds scream in joy when they frag me, I will here their shrill wails in 5.1
    Oh joyous day.

  3. But how long will this go on for? on MS Offers Vista Upgrade Pricing To All · · Score: 1
    Because there is a "Carpet Liquidation!" that's been going on near me for over 2 years... Same stickers, same adds. I figured' they'd be out of business by now... Then again, Jobs probably thought the same thing...

    Oh shit... Maybe I should buy some Capital Carpet stock now?

  4. Re:Wait on Sony's PSP Memory Stick Entertainment Packs Shipping · · Score: 1

    ... Wait, why the hell are you telling me something I know? I bolded the fact that it was, just as a price comparison, and asked a question about future movie downloads on the card, [Is the 1/2GB card locked with the movie on it forever? Is there extra room for downloads?] and I clearly stated in my reply to the article "of a format not as widely used," so I have no idea why you even bothered to post that, unless you like to hear yourself be redundant...?

  5. Wait on Sony's PSP Memory Stick Entertainment Packs Shipping · · Score: 2, Informative
    So, on Newegg.com you can get a 4GB SD Card for around 60 something dollars last I checked, or, you can shell out 47 for 1GB and one [bad] movie, of a format not as widely used? 77 for the 2GB? No wonder Disturbed chose to cover "Land of Confusion"...


    On a lesser note of frustration and confusion, does it at least come with a way to watch the film on anything other than the PSP? How do you get the movie on there? Download?

  6. This isn't new- on School Admins Demand Access to Students' Cellphones · · Score: 1

    It happens in almost every town in America when the administration gets a phone. I have a Treo650- and as a test, to see if my school was really searching for data- I allowed my phone to be confiscated, AFTER I purposley missed a call in class [from a friend of course.] Since I had good standings in high school, they simply confiscated the phone and said I would be allowed to pick the phone up at the end of the day. I was cool with it, because I knew that I had locked my Treo, and purposley did not press OK to my Alert screen, knowing that if the Administration in all their wisdom and thirst for knowledge pressed OK for me, there would be no more alert- just my infuriated vice principle staring at a password screen which he could not get through. As it turns out, the phone was handed to me with the password screen, and not the alert screen. When confronted on the issue, he simply said "Your lucky", and walked away. My friend who called me (due to the alert screen, his name showed up) was not so lucky- they confiscated his phone and made his parents come in to retrieve it. Although this seems like rambling, there is a point, and that is don't be stupid. Almost every single school in America requests that phones NOT BE BROUGHT INTO THE CLASSROOM OR BUILDING. If you choose to violate that, then I am not saying it is ok for the administration to look through your contacts messages and pictures because they are searching for "Drugs", but maybe a little reprocussions for the students could finally get the idea through to them- they are not supposed to have the phones there in the first place.

  7. Hmmm... on Symantec Sues Microsoft, May Delay Vista · · Score: 4, Funny

    *Microsoft Board Room Exec's Shit guys, the date is coming closer and closer, and we have NOTHING. What the HELL are we going to do? *Board members think for a while* Hey, I have an idea! Let's get Symantec to sue us for something stupid, and create an injunction that stops our product from coming out, so that we don't have to delay it again, and can use someone as a scapegoat! ... Excelent idea! Give this man a promotion, a Ferrari, and hell, tell the programmers to take the week off!

  8. uh on Dell, HP, Lenovo Announce New Display Protocol · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Another toy, Will help destroy, The elder race of man. Thank you Geddy. So, now the average consumer is even more confused when they go to the store?
