  1. Re:Too many pages... on Treasures or Trash, 5 PC Cases for Gamers · · Score: 1

    I had a bit of free time so I clicked through the entire article (after blocking their ads). Not much worth seeing other than the insides of a few PC cases viewed from half a dozen angles.

  2. Re:Not as small as the Miniscule of Sound! on Freshman MIT Students Automate Dorm Room · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    WTF? Since when was ".coop" a TLD?

  3. Re:Consumer adoption on Pakistan Plans Mobile WiMax Network Rollout · · Score: 1

    There's no such thing as "too much bandwidth".

  4. Re:Excellent news! on Apple Finally Getting Its Game On? · · Score: 1

    That controller looks awfully... familiar.

  5. Re:BS on Nintendo Announces Japanese Wii Price · · Score: 1

    £130, to be exact. I bought my GC about 2 weeks after release for that price. Though I remember the N64 being a lot more...

  6. Re:Compared to overseas on Student Faces Expulsion for Blog Post · · Score: 1

    In the UK, those things you said usually get a detention at most.

  7. Only 5 hours? on Half-Life Episode 1 Gold, Details on 2 and 3 · · Score: 1, Interesting

    For the price of two of these, I could've bought new and got much more than 10 hours of play from it.

  8. Re:Forcing Next Gen. on The End of the Original Xbox · · Score: 1

    Sega did that at least twice. Look where it got their hardware business.

  9. As A Long Time Flying Car Owner on Miyamoto Says Sony Controller is 'Flattering' · · Score: 1

    Are you kidding? Sony's presentation was the best by far!!

  10. Re:My Review on New Super Mario Bros. Review · · Score: 1

    Sounds more like the motorbike power up from Alex Kidd.

  11. Re:And it looks like... on First Photos of MIT $100 Laptop · · Score: 1

    If you have a better idea what electronics intended to be used by kids should look like, feel free to let us know.

  12. Re:heck, with this tech... on New Sensor Technology Looks at Molecular 'Fingerprint' · · Score: 1

    Analizing? Which Star Trek were _you_ watching?!

  13. Re:nVidia Forceware 90 Series on ATI, NVIDIA Launch New Chipsets for Socket AM2 · · Score: 1

    Ouch. And I thought the 12MB Linux one was bad...

  14. Re:Gentoo on X.Org Releases First Modular Source Roll-Up · · Score: 1

    There's two types of KDE ebuilds for it at the moment: the old huge ones and new separate ones. They don't help all that much though, since every time there's a new official release they change the version number for everything so you end up compiling them all one at a time anyway. The split X.Org packages are more useful though, since you can install it without the evil, evil bitmap sans-serif fonts.

  15. Re:Pride Goeth Before A Fall on Sony And The No-Confidence Vote · · Score: 1
    Trying to sell a console without games is like trying to sell a gun without ammunition.
    Yeah, but it's still useful for beating some sense into their head if they buy it :D
  16. Re:huh? on Understanding OS X Kernel Internals · · Score: 2, Informative

    It might make more sense in this format, and without the grammar error:

    ...in the news alot this past year, whether it's:

    • why it's slow,
    • Mach/micro-kernel makes it bad,
    • it's going closed source
    • and what not
  17. Workaround: on Gonzales Says Publishing Leaks Is A Crime · · Score: 2, Funny

    Outsource information leaking.

  18. Re:Reflex Action on New IM Worm Installs Own Web Browser · · Score: 1

    IIRC, the Mac OS X interface guidelines say the same thing. I've noticed Gnome apps starting to do the same.

    Now if only MS's GUI designers had any common sense...

  19. It seems there's only one thing we can do. on New IM Worm Installs Own Web Browser · · Score: 5, Funny

    Make "Yes" buttons, by default, HURT people physically.

  20. What I've used on Should Students Be Taught With or Without an IDE? · · Score: 1

    I haven't had many good experiences using IDEs. Right now the only one I use is Quanta for web stuff, and even then I only use it for about 4 features. What I really can't stand are the ones that take half the control away from the user. One other thing - unless you've got fast PCs, avoid Java-based IDEs. Otherwise you'll be wasting most of the time waiting for the damn thing to load.

  21. Priorities first. on Which OS Makes the Best VMWare Host? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Pick whichever supports most of the physical hardware, since whatever it can't see the emulated OS can't either. If you're left with more than one choice there, narrow it down further depending on which matters to you more: speed, stability, security etc. Of course in a perfect world you wouldn't need to choose between those, but then you wouldn't need a virtual machine either.

  22. Re:...or not on Parasitic Infection Flummoxes Victims and Doctors · · Score: 1

    Anyone else find it odd that there's no clear pictures of someone's skin with this "disease", only a few blurry microscope images/electron microscope images of something that could be a dozen other things?

  23. Re:This is just great. on New Wide-Angle Telescope to Capture Night Sky · · Score: 1

    I wish all digital cameras had 3 gigapixels. Then the pictures would be too big to email to me in the first place :D

  24. This makes me wonder... on Nintendo Confirms Wii on GC Housing at E3 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Can a GC be overclocked and still work?

  25. Re:Nothing to see here on PS3 to Sell at Over $800 in UK · · Score: 2, Informative

    I read somewhere on /. a few weeks ago that the PS3 supposedly has no region locks. Apparently it's the only legitimate defence modchippers have so they removed it.
