Do We Always Need Authentication?

Comment in News (-1 diggs, 0 replies) - on 01/25/2007

In my opinion the existing system isn't working to keep spammers out anyway, as we're still getting a Sagan shitloads of retarded non-news blog entries like this one. Wow, you're capable of writing what is in essence a "comment" about a web feature so in … (see comment)

Putins plane. Gold interior

Comment in News (-14 diggs, 8 replies) - on 01/25/2007

I'll go out on a limb and say that it's most likely brass, not gold. Given the financial state of Russia it'd almost have to be. :shrug: -Jhonen (see comment)

Frictionless gaming mouse

Comment in News (4 diggs, 1 reply) - on 11/21/2006

Not only that, but technically it's not 100% friction-free. There's friction between the molecules of air surrounding the device and the device itself. The only way any item can be "friction-free" is in a 100% efficient total vacuum, which would be impos … (see comment)

WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN PURCHASING AN IBM MODEL M KEYBOARD

Comment in News (4 diggs, 1 reply) - on 10/19/2006

I've been collecting Model M keyboards for years. They're bulletproof, the key response is the best you'll ever find, and parts are easily replacable and cheap. My only complaint? I can't use one on my Mac. Also, don't forget to check out http://mod … (see comment)

Interesting, yes. Useful? No. I'll stick with Google. Though for the record...I'd hit it. Jhonen (see comment)

US Navy SEALs Workout: Physical Fitness Standards

Comment in News (34 diggs, 3 replies) - on 10/14/2006

Holy crap. I'm in pretty good shape, but I can't even begin to comprehend swimming 5.5 miles in the fucking OCEAN (and I've competed in two triathlons in my lifetime). I agree with ImaBrowncoat...these guys are machines. Jhonen (see comment)

Disappearing texts on walls

Comment in News (3 diggs, 1 reply) - on 10/13/2006

I love how every article Kevin Rose posts gets frontpaged within an hour, while most other stories stay in the queue for much, much longer. :lol: And I do think it's a cool bit of technology...but what the heck do you use it for? Jhonen (see comment)

Guy's MMORPG proposal worked - but she needs help getting to England

Comment in News (-5 diggs, 0 replies) - on 10/13/2006

@burkay Can you just give up now? We've heard your point about a dozen times now. Saying it over and over and over isn't going to change anything. You're an asshole. We get it. Let's move on, guys... Jhonen (see comment)

Comment in News (0 diggs, 0 replies) - on 10/13/2006

@burkay Actually, no. I don't. I don't forward anything. And to be honest, even if it DID turn out to be some kind of scam (though I personally do not believe it is), I wouldn't give a shit. IN THE END, IT'S A FUCKING DOLLAR. Jhonen (see comment)

Ok. Listen (well, read) closely. I'll only say this once. I don't want to keep this crap going. I decided to respond because I got tired of clicking the red "thdn" icon 4,000 times. Anyone who has two brain cells to rub together in their pathetic littl … (see comment)

Why Time may be right for new Nintendo console

Comment in News (-2 diggs, 5 replies) - on 09/30/2006

To be honest, I think the 360 will end up being the weakest one in terms of actual gaming. I don't think my 360 was worth the money I paid for it, as the games don't seem significantly different from regular xbox titles. *shrug* I do, however, think th … (see comment)

I'm a bit interested at to what console(s) this will be made available to...mainly how games like this will end up translating to the Wii control system. (see comment)
