  1. Jack Thompson on Jack Thompson Weighs in on Oblivion · · Score: 0

    From the article:

    and received ACLU's "Top Ten Censors of the Year Award" (1992).

    Well, that's something to be proud of. Of course Thompson just likes getting his name in the news, but you'd think that someone with his drive could put it to better use, say fighting poverty or finding a cure for AIDS.

  2. Re:Don't send mass e-mails on Are Spam Blockers Too Strict? · · Score: 0

    If I want something, I'll go seek it out for myself. Leave me the hell alone. It's not your place to constantly bother me.

    Hear, hear!

    Of course, telling that to a salesman will only make him think that it's a challenge.

  3. Re:You know.... on Microsoft Officially Acquires Massive · · Score: 0

    Honestly, I could see them doing this in games where advertising is done in the real world, i.e. sports games or racing games. However, the last thing I want to see is 'Grom says "buy Coca-Cola"' in some RPG.

  4. Re:Um, exactly. on UN Broadcasting Treaty May Restrict Speech · · Score: 0

    It's a little more complicated than that, but in the long run it is unlikely that the UN would be able to enforce their changes.

  5. Re:hello kitty... on Forthcoming MMORPGs · · Score: 0

    Hello Kitty is the only title that looks even relatively interesting, although the two Roman/classical titles look somewhat better than the rest of the pack.

  6. Re:Cheaper than outsourceing to India on Summer of Code 2006 is On · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah. One person's 'funny as hell' is another's 'huh?'

  7. Re:Cheaper than outsourceing to India on Summer of Code 2006 is On · · Score: 1

    alter table damiam 'insert into get_humor (sarcasm, hyperbole, irony) values (1, 1, 1);';

  8. Cheaper than outsourceing to India on Summer of Code 2006 is On · · Score: -1, Troll

    And here I thought Google was making money hand over fist. Why not hire some kids to do the programming, and not only not pay them, but get them to actively work for free. It's a stroke of genius.

  9. Re:mis-information? on Military Investigates Sale of Sensitive Data · · Score: 1

    While our military may sometimes seem incompetent, don't forget they are involved in informational warfare in many different ways you might never think of.

    What does incompetence mean?

  10. Hit home? They left it a smoking ruin. on When Telecom Mergers Hit Home · · Score: 1

    The title of the article had me thinking of two large companies crashing into my apartment a la the evil white robots from HHGTTG.

  11. Re:Scheduling Priority is for sissys on Nice Performance Tuning For UNIX · · Score: 1, Funny

    Set 'em all to -19, and let the best program win! If they don't have to fight each other for CPU cycles they will grow up weak and feeble.

    Fight! Fight! Fight!

  12. Google's DNA on Google's DNA · · Score: 2, Funny

    I can't wait to see the horrible, mutant creation that they come up with. I mean, there's no point in using DNA unless you can make monsters.

  13. Re:I can see it already... on Dell Takes Health Care Online · · Score: 5, Funny

    Clippy pops up in the corner...

    `It looks like you have cancer. Would you like to book a session of radiotherapy?'


    More like: 'Dude! You're getting a colostomy!'

  14. Format C: on Microsoft Says Recovery From Malware Becoming Impossible · · Score: 1

    Format C: seems to get rid of all 'Microsoft' malware.

    Oh wait...

  15. No wonder the Internet is slower... on Interview With the Father of Java · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's sort of embedded in the social experiment that is the Internet. There's been tremendous adoption of Java for building large-scale enterprise apps.

    I was wondering why everything online has been slower lately.

  16. Relaunching? on 360 To Be Relaunched In Japan · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does that mean it will be recrashing, too?

  17. Some ideas on Pork Barrel Tech Projects On The Rise · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Here are a couple of ideas for the pork barrel:

    a VR program that can train a congressman how to count, so the budget can get balanced

    or

    a robot teacher to teach science to Republicans

    I'm sure I can come up with more pie-in-the-sky ideas.

  18. Re:Suicide Note? on Will Apple Disappoint on 30th Anniversary? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I wonder what application he'll use for his suicide note?

    vi.

  19. From the Counter-Strike article: on God of War, Counter-Strike, 360 Design at GDC · · Score: 3, Funny

    The characters are gritty, burly, and not particularly appealing - so Namco got an artist to anime them up a little, replacing sweaty gringos with guys in primary-colored spandex and PVC shoulderpads

    This isn't looking too good...

    and hairy guys in fatigues and ski masks with antigravity-busted women in three square inches of purple nylon.

    ...but I can live with it.

  20. EA Quote on 30 Quotes From GDC 06 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Neil Young
    General manager
    EA L.A.
    "One new feature or fresh take can change everything."


    This from Electronic Arts?

  21. Re:Computational Biology BS on First Digital Simulation of an Entire Life Form · · Score: 1

    Because the proteins have already been folded for you?

  22. Not Geocide? on When Virtual Worlds Collide · · Score: 1

    I thought this was about practicing to destroy planets

  23. Profit!!! on Open Source R&D Tax Credit? · · Score: 0

    1. Get Open Source Tax money
    2. Bribe Congress for more
    3. ???
    4. Profit!!!

  24. Now he tells me on Cubicles a Giant Mistake · · Score: 1

    And here I thought that boxing myself up with the rest of the sardines was a good thing. Sheesh.

  25. Re:the only feature on The New Face of Script Kiddiez · · Score: 1

    exactly. rape is no laughing matter. unless you're raping a clown.

    That would be rather...vulgar*, don't you think?
