  1. MOD PARENT UP!!! on Karl Rove Resigning Aug 31 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    +5, Sarcasm

    I am Rowan, and I approve of this and the parent message.

  2. Re:And yet... on SCO Loses · · Score: 1

    Yep. Expecting Monday to have an opening of.... *shakes magic 8ball* under a buck? They're only 50 cents or so above that.

  3. Re:stealing stolen stuff is unethical? on Consumerist Catches Geek Squad Stealing Porn · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Small issue (and I don't know if you're trying to be funny or not because of your sarcasm sig): Unless they were to know otherwise, the pictures and iTunes music was not 'stolen'. That is a very bad and overly false assumption to make.

    And, believe it or not, there are those on the 'net that pay for their pr0n, so that isn't a safe place to assume 'stolen' either.

  4. Complete the cycle!!! on It's Not News, It's Fark · · Score: 2, Funny

    Quick! We must continue the cycle. Someone Digg this article, then get that as a link on the main page of Fark. Or add reddit into the mix as well.

  5. So am I readint this right? on Hellgate: London Subscriptions Set, Explained · · Score: 1

    Will this be similar to Bethesda's "Official Plugins" you have to pay to get for Oblivion, only on a monthly pay schedule?

  6. Trick or Treat on Thailand Sues YouTube · · Score: 1

    Smell my Feet?
    /Offtopic, yes, but the first thing that came to mind

  7. Re:"His decision to leave the organization?" on Sony's Ken Kutaragi To Step Down · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Business language translations:

    Leaves to spend more time with family - Flat out quit, had to be begged to give some kind of notice
    Leaves to take on new challenges - "There's the door, don't let it hit you on the ass."

  8. Re:slashdot? on Many Dead In Virginia Tech Shooting · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I was about to ask this, then realized they took out the engineering classes. 'Bout the only relivance I can see here.

  9. Re:fills up faster? on Bethesda Investigates Shivering Isles Bug · · Score: 2, Informative

    300 hours, roughly I guess. Here's better data on how much time you have left vs both current reference ID and framerate

  10. Yes, let them destroy another MMO on EA To Invest In China's MMOG Firm The9 · · Score: 0, Troll

    No, I'm not still bitter about EnB. No, I have not bought a product from the company since they closed EnB down. I hope they choke on the next Sims expansion (they get a new one like, what, every 2 weeks?)

  11. Re:MMORPG now = Television 1960's on Virtual Worlds Are Worth 1 Billion Dollars · · Score: 4, Funny

    Next on the Fox Game Network: Leveling with the Stars....

  12. Re:Simcity on The Ten Most Important Games · · Score: 1

    No, the Arcology 'Launching' does happen, but takes about 250 (or 301 if you read the wikipedia article, I always thought it was less) to do it. That's quite a lot of money there.

  13. Re:Wow, that was hard to parse on Sony Further Details Home, Looks to October Launch · · Score: 1

    Details.... and Looks, I think...

  14. Re:Headline Wrong on EA CEO Larry Probst Steps Down · · Score: 1

    Also wrong: Probst

    Sorry, I twitched a little when I first read the headline.

  15. Re:Summary on Statistical Accuracy of Internet Weather Forecasts · · Score: 1

    Your forgot to say avoid BBC as well. Their accuracy was nigh close to bulls tit worthless as well.

  16. Re:Not to defend El Gates... on Viva Piñata Apparently 'For Girls' · · Score: 1

    Maybe he's thinking of the Zambug? Ponockys are yellow, unless you feed them bread.

  17. Re:SiteKey is not to protect customers on Study Finds Bank of America SiteKey is Flawed · · Score: 1

    *DING DING DING* And we have a winner. Sitekey is more about CYA than security. This study only proves that to be the fact.

  18. Re:Best game of the Year?! on Gears of War Review · · Score: 1

    It depends on your taste in games. Not every RPG is made of epic and win (and this is coming from an advid RPG player). Personally this will be my first purchase game-wise come Friday when I get a 360.

  19. Re:Really eager to use Ubuntu on Free Geek Robbed · · Score: 1

    They could have at least used this for some free ones: https://shipit.ubuntu.com/

  20. Re:How about on Dirtiest Jobs in Science · · Score: 1

    You missed the 'science' part there. What you listed were the worst 'Technology' jobs.

  21. Re:EMI Moderation System on EMI Exec Says 'The Music CD is Dead' · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If ever you find yourself in a position of absolute power and untold sums of cash, only to that power and money flow disrupted overnight (at least it felt overnight to them)... let me know how you ract. The Recording industry did, amittedly, have it coming. They had, with the advent of each new media format (Record, 8 Track, Cassett, CD) they still had ultimate control because of the fact there was physical media involved. When the first CD-Rom came out, everyone was like 'what is the hokey piece of cr... Hey I can copy the music now?' That should have been when the Industry reared its head and attacked: The minute the first CD drive was installed into a computer.

  22. Save for... on Analog Revival Means Vinyl Will Outlive CD · · Score: 1

    Save for turntablism, I don't see a market vinyl. And even for that, useable mp3/cd turntable mixers are coming down in price that can make that obsolete.

  23. Re:well yeah on Snakes on The Net Fail to Put Butts in the Seats · · Score: 1

    At least I have proof that I'm not the only one who played it afterwords. Did you ever even use the 'enemy capture/throw' ability?

  24. Yes you read it right, but in the wrong way. on Snakes on The Net Fail to Put Butts in the Seats · · Score: 1

    I think what they are alluding to is that it wasn't a stellar, $200 million mid-summer blockbuster. But if anyone went to go see this film expecting it to knock Gone With the Wind or Deliverance of their top spots, they got disappointed. If they went thinking 'complete cheese', they too got disappointed. It's all perspective, young Jedi.

  25. Some is better than one on Excessive Tech Packaging? · · Score: 1

    At least you got some kinda of protective packaging, over-the-top notwithstanding. I just had a user send in a laptop in a FedEx box... WITHOUT A LICK OF PADDING!!! I'm surprised the sucker turned on (or exploded, though the batter is not on recall). The top of the case was dinged all to hell because the spacer used just happened to be the users power supply. Yeah, some padding there... dumbass.
