  1. Wait a moment on Schools Buy .xxx Domains In Trademark Panic · · Score: 1

    So, if I go to ASU.xxx I'm going to get Arizona State's school website as opposed to what most of their student body (and damn fine bodies at that) do in their spare time? False advertising!

  2. Re:satellite imagery and more on Bin Laden Hideout Recreated In Counter-Strike · · Score: 1

    And still, surprisingly, has a 3/5 star rating!

  3. Re:How long until someone blames... on Terrorists Bomb Moscow Airport · · Score: 1

    Touche, though I must admit to being the first to comment on that. Feels weird being ahead of that joke/thought curve for once.

  4. How long until someone blames... on Terrorists Bomb Moscow Airport · · Score: 2

    ... Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for this? Yes, I went there.

  5. Re:I don't play Rubik's Cube on Android Phone Solves Rubik's Cube In 12.5 Seconds · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'll take you as trying to troll, but the old adage "It is not the destination but the journey" seems to fit in this case.

  6. Re:Why has no one taken this thread seriously... on Look-Alike Tubes Lead To Hospital Deaths · · Score: 1

    Oi, where's some mod points when I need them. The electronics world and our plugs was the first thing I thought of.

  7. Re:It's a hoax, people. on Hikers May Have Found Fossett Items · · Score: 1

    How does it feel to eat crow the next day?
    Plane has been found. Body has not been found. I'll tell ya what the hoax is: Fossett's dead. No, unless they find the body I'm going to take a bet that he ain't.

  8. Re:directx was a mistake on Google Lively Review · · Score: 1

    Ooop... ok yeah, it did change, that item was honestly missing this morning. And you've got more proof. Ok, I'll shut up now *cowers in corner*

  9. Re:directx was a mistake on Google Lively Review · · Score: 1

    I'm going out on a limb here: I've looked at the system reqs but I'm still not seeing DX as a requirement. You're the third person I've seen say something like this (one was a claim that it was IE only) and I'd honestly like to see the money go into the mouth on this one.

  10. Re:Porn vs theology on Google Lively Review · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Exactly.... Christian and Unbiased can't really be said in the same sentence and with a straight face.

  11. Category Missed on The Greatest Defunct Websites and Dotcom Disasters · · Score: 1

    Any 'pay to surf' bar or widget. My brain remember UtopiAD and All ADvantage. Paid you to surf and, like all good pyramid schemes, you got even more if those below you in the food chain surfed.

  12. Re:HELLO WORLD on On This Date in 1964, the First BASIC Program · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why would putting Opposite over Hypotenuse cause me to go to hell?

  13. So... what? on Namco Blames Wii for Arcade Closures · · Score: 1

    So they are just now noticing this in Japan. Something that has been happening in the US since, what, the 90s? Late 80s? Consoles beat Arcade, kinda like rock beats paper and nuclear weapons beat rock.

    Japan is just now feeling this? I thought they were supposed to be ahead of the times technology wise than us.

  14. One word, 3 letters on Wii Can't Replace Actual Exercise · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ... DDR!
    Nothing... NOTHING beats a DDR workout. Wanna really test something against a sport/gym workout? 30 mins of DDR (actual play time) vs 30min Cardio workout. I'd be curious how close the ratio comes out to 1 on that.

    ~my $.02

  15. Re: Euphemisms on CEO of Red Hat Steps Down · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've always understood 'Family Reasons' to mean he wanted to quit, and 'To explore other opportunities' was 'don't let the door hit you on the ass'.

  16. Re:GNR? on Wired's 2007 Vaporware Awards · · Score: 5, Funny

    The way that album is going, China *WILL* be a democracy when it is finally released.

  17. Re:Compare to Guitar Hero III for context on Mass Effect Sells A Million, Halo 3 Sells Five · · Score: 1

    Right, but how many 'versions' are there of Madden, vs only 3 Halos. Apples, meet Oranges.

  18. Re:I like the digg thing on Open Source Hardware Gift Guide · · Score: 2, Interesting

    it should be made thinner and integrated into shirts....so when you go out, and someone diggs you, they just..uhhmmm..click your shirt.

  19. Re:Bigger list on CNet Promotes Essential Open-Source Software to Joe Public · · Score: 1

    Here is another link to free (as in beer) software list. That link is for freeware ones, a list of opensource ones is linked on that page.

  20. Re:obligatory on Slashdot Turns 10 But You Get The Presents · · Score: 1

    Wow, 10 years ago IE4 was passing Netscape More frightening: The poll on the side eerily hints at things to come (namely Firefox)
  21. Re:Alittle to personal on Free Phone Calls... If Advertisers Can Eavesdrop · · Score: 1

    else you get the Want Ads for like sex services:

    "Like to talk dirty? Want to get paid for it?"

  22. Re:Wow it really IS everywhere! on Nasdaq to Delist SCO Sep 27 · · Score: 1

    If that is the case, both the question and answer have changed. I think the answer is now..... 37!

  23. Re:Pee on "Lifesaver Bottle" Filters Viruses Out of Water · · Score: 1

    Well it's not too far off. You'd need only to filter out dissolved solids, maybe a little UV to kill anything else just in case.

  24. Re:Identity theft...of sorts on Don't Dismiss Online Relationships As Fantasy · · Score: 1

    Sad to hear of people getting screwed like this. It kinda reminds me of Kaycee Nicole issue that cropped up years ago. I actually got to speak with some of the persons that got suckered in to the hoax, and it was crushing both when KC 'died' and when, a week later, they find out they had been giving into a lie for two years.

    Snopes Article on the same subject.

  25. Re:ooohhhhh yeahhh..... on Mass Effect Launch Date Announced · · Score: 1

    It was also made, as others have pointed out, by Obsidian and not by Bioware. THAT was the mistake.
