  1. Re:Demand? on Microsoft Stops Xbox 360 Production, Servers To Stay Online · · Score: 1

    There are still some media-center uses for the 360 that haven't (yet?) carried over to the XbOne.

  2. Your mama on Japan's Unique Cow/Whale Hybrid Experiments · · Score: 1

    So that's how your mama got so fat!

  3. Result on Time-Warner Considers Per-Gigabyte Service Fee, After iTunes · · Score: 1

    I think this will just increase wasteful internet-surfing at work.

  4. Re-releases likely? on Paramount to Drop HD DVD? · · Score: 1

    Whether this is true or false news, if a studio shifts from "HD-DVD exclusive" to "Bluray Exclusive", is it likely that they'll re-release the content on the other format? Or would it be a "from this point forward" thing?

  5. What about this word of the year? on 'w00t' Named 2007 Word of the Year · · Score: 3, Funny

  6. Re:what the heck ... on Virtual Robots Fooled By Visual Illusions · · Score: 1

    When 2 robots occupy the same starting square, they become virtual. Haven't you ever played Robo Rally?

  7. Endless cycle of VH1 on Viacom Says User Infringed His Own Copyright · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sue them in some outrageous way. Then you'll get on their next "20 wackiest lawsuits" show. Then take a clip of that, and put it up on youtube. See if they sue you again.

  8. Re:Does Anyone Really Use Their Wii Anymore? on Nintendo - "Everyone is a Gamer" · · Score: 1

    I invented a word for that feeling -- "enwii".
    But I am definitely not feeling it.

    The News and Weather channels were a fast-fading gimmick for me, and I haven't used the browser to play all those Flash games or anything, but I'm still very happy with the console.
    Super Paper Mario was a game my wife and I had a lot of fun playing together, and I even just dusted off my old copy of Trauma Center that I never finished. Also still enjoying the Virtual Console stuff and making Miis. Looking forward to all the cool new toys.

    I guess I'm their target audience.

  9. Queen Sut on First Royal Mummy Found Since Tut is Identified · · Score: 3, Funny

    Born in Arizona,
    Moved to Babylonia,
    Queen 'Sut.

  10. Testing functionality for WoD MMO? on Eve Online to Elect Player Oversight Group · · Score: 1

    Eve's parent company, merged with White Wolf, are confirmed to be working on a World of Darkness MMO game. Could this be a testbed for a system where players represent "Princes" with actual power over the governance of the new game?

  11. Samba de Amigo, and 480p on Sega Opens Gate, Puts Dreamcast Out To Pasture · · Score: 5, Informative

    I have kept my Dreamcast hooked up to my TV all along, mostly to play the occasional party game of Samba de Amigo (I have a still-working set of maracas I got for my birthday several years ago). Now, with the Wii, and the definite Nintendo+Sega good relationship, maybe they'll come out with a Wiimote-friendly Samba game.

    Also, don't forget that the DC has the option of a "VGA box", which lets you run a good number of games in, effectively, 480p, on newer TVs. Soul Calibur 1 in 640x480 still stands up pretty well to newer games graphically (and even with the BRICK of a controller, still plays pretty well).
    As soon as I get around to getting an HDTV, I definitely plan on plugging my Dreamcast into the VGA port if it's got one...

  12. Left handers left out on Extensive Twilight Princess Previews · · Score: 1

    It looks like this confirms the "full switch to right-handedness" of the game. With no option to swap for lefties (unless I missed that somewhere else in the article), that's going to steepen the learning curve for us southpaws.

  13. Re:Copyright violation on so many levels its funny on Videogame Remake of 1986's World Series Game 6 · · Score: 1

    What is the NBA doing with MLB audio?

  14. Barf! on Mel Brooks Says 'Spaceballs' Sequel In The Works · · Score: 1

    Will they replace John Candy with CG?

  15. Re:I thought the original was cool.. on Dragon's Lair 3D Not Worth The Effort · · Score: 2, Informative
  16. 1334 bytes in body on Sklyarov, Bunner (DVD CCA) Hearings Thursday · · Score: 2, Funny

    Aw cmon, you couldn't have added 3 spaces?

  17. Re:Subtle Joke ... on Gamecube In Danger? · · Score: 1

    This was modded offtopic, but it does make some sort of sense.. The Gamecube's code name was "Dolphin", and this was the cryptic messages that the dolphins left behind when they left Earth.

  18. link? on The Mystery of Capital · · Score: 1
    Hernando de Soto, for those unfamiliar, is an interesting character in his own right

    The link leads to "http://slashdot.org/relevantlink.com".
    Uh...?

  19. Re:Midi on pilot, MP3's on Pilot Synthesis · · Score: 1

    I'm eagerly looking forward to the PocketPyro, which is similar to this device but is an MP3 player instead (plus generic storage).

  20. Re:Geez Rob on IBM's Colorful Notebooks · · Score: 1

    Nonono.. i was referring to the fact that the entire main page after this story was underlined.. no end-underline tag.

  21. Re:Geez Rob on IBM's Colorful Notebooks · · Score: 1

    OK.. I have to reply to myself AGAIN.. how the heck can i get this to print an html tag without interpreting it?
    Let's try this &lt/U&gt ...

  22. Re:Geez Rob on IBM's Colorful Notebooks · · Score: 1

    Oops, I must reply to myself.. that said " tag", i chose the wrong option "Plain Old Text".. my own brainfart.

  23. Geez Rob on IBM's Colorful Notebooks · · Score: 1

    Forgot a tag? Second brain-fart of the morning. Wake up, have some coffee or something. :)

  24. Very true on QWERTY, Dvorak and More · · Score: 1

    which talks about how Dvorak isn't really any faster than Dvorak I'd hope not..

  25. Biological vs. Spiritual explanation of The Force on Obi-Wan speaks out against franchise · · Score: 1

    Remember that TPM takes place 50-ish years before Star Wars (Episode IV, A New Hope, whatever you choose to call it).
    Midichlorians (sp?) are just a theory. Perhaps a side effect of being strong with the Force.
    In our own past, scientists have made guesses as to why things work, and have often been wrong. (the sun revolving around the earth, ether, phlogestan (yet another sp?))...
    So, within that 50 year period, perhaps they realized that their theory was wrong. We'll find out in Episodes 2 and 3, if we bother to watch them...
