  1. it's a sad day... on GameStop To Honor Ancient Duke Nukem Pre-Orders · · Score: 1

    When this is what passes as good customer service.

  2. Wow on Bill Gates Says Anti-Vaccine Effort Kills Children · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Someone mod Bill +1 hero so he gets out of the troll area

  3. Re:Wow, really? on Blizzard Suing Creators of StarCraft II Hacks · · Score: 1

    I don't think their goal is to earn a profit from them. I think it's to punish them. I applaud their efforts. I've watched many games ruined by hacking.

  4. Garrys Mod on How To Get a Game-Obsessed Teenager Into Coding? · · Score: 1

    Get them to start playing Garry's Mod (with wire mod addon) it will turn the game into a game about programing. I've actually heard quite a few stories of gamers turning programmers due to this game.

  5. I'm a guy... on Sony Pictures CEO Thinks the Net Wasn't Worth It · · Score: 1
    'I'm a guy who doesn't see anything good having come from the the music industry, period.' Why? Because the music industry 'feels entitled' to sell what they want when they want to, and if they can't get it for $22, 'they'll blame piracy.'

    To summarize the summary, this stems from the fact Sony (and others) as so high and mighty, that they feel they have the right to not participate in online purchasing. Then to top it off, charge customers an outrageous price to purchase via a means they may find inconvienient.

  6. dupe... only 3 days? on US Army To Use MMOs For Turing Tests · · Score: 0

    This was already posted

  7. FaceBooks Real Terms Of Use on The 5 Most Laughable Terms of Service On the Net · · Score: 0
    While I imagine all true Slashdotters RTFA, I can imagine few people actually read FaceBooks Terms Of Use... The article missed one section... which is understandable as it is IMMEDIATELY below their excerpt.

  8. Frasier on Bees Help Detectives Catch Serial Killers · · Score: 0

    This is a epidemic case of fraud at it's greatest. Dr. Nigel Rain has no credentials in this field, he is a psychologist. Sorry, couldn't help myself... let the mod down begin.

  9. Re:Short briefing on White House Briefed On "Potential For Life" On Mars · · Score: 0

    While I realize you are making a statement of your personal observations, the statement "Many people consider penguin feces a delicacy" has just as much validity.

  10. Re:Bad copy? on Google Lively Review · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    It could be a good thing if it was an antimatter copy of Second Life, which was then brought into contact with the original Second Life.

    please mod parent funny :)
  11. Re:Dirty Words on Claimed Proof of Riemann Hypothesis · · Score: 5, Funny

    Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

  12. This isn't news! on NES Nudity Galore - The JUSTIN BAILEY Conspiracy · · Score: 1

    Slashdots tagline is: News for nerds, stuff that matters... this story violates both statements

  13. in soviet russia on .su Lives On, Stronger Than Ever · · Score: 0

    web surfs you!

  14. Re:Gaming? on High-Tech Vest Lets Gamers Take a Hit · · Score: 1

    funny, I actually was thinking the same thing when i first read the article. :) but I would love to use it for ut3. It would give you a good advantage to know imediately what direction(s) you're being shot at from, especially if a sniper was hiding somewhere.

  15. Re:numbering system on Unreal Tournament 3 Performance Revealed · · Score: 1

    heres how it makes sense... 1. UT - unreal engine 2. UT 2003 - unreal 2 engine 3. UT 2004 - unreal 2 engine 4. UT3 - unreal 3 engine

  16. Re:riight. on 12 Year Old Gets $6.5M for Gaming Company · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the asssumptions of the boys character were based on the interview done with him... I don't need to become Paris Hiltons best freind in order to make reasonably accurate assumptions based on her actions.

  17. Re:The Unconsidered Factor on Economic Analysis of Toilet Seat Position · · Score: 1

    are there guys out there who miss?? me and my friends we're discussing one time how piss gets on the toilet seat... The only time it ever happens to me is when I'm very drunk.

  18. Re:...but this was one thing I LIKED about them! on Dell Rethinking the Direct-Sales Market · · Score: 1
    actually I was refering to this:

    http://www.shopping.hp.com/notebooks?jumpid=re_R32 9_prodexp/hhoslp/psg/notebooks

    all the notebooks are the same as the ones you would find in store, only customizable.

  19. another reason for the shift on Dell Rethinking the Direct-Sales Market · · Score: 1
    I use to sell computers via phone for hp home and home office and we ALWAYS beat dell on price for notebooks. But dell usually beat us on price for desktops. The reason being that in order to make notebooks cheaper, you need to make many of them in order to get the discounts required for the components of the notebook.(this doesn't play as nearly large a role in desktops)

    As for the reason for the rise in notebook sales... Notebooks have always been a better soloution then desktops to typical consumers. They can do anything a regular pc can, plus they are portable. The difference is that over the past few years the price of notebooks has droped so much that they are usually only a $0-$300 more than a desktop with the same features.

  20. Re:...but this was one thing I LIKED about them! on Dell Rethinking the Direct-Sales Market · · Score: 1

    i have no idea what you're talking about. as a former hp home and home office employee, I can say the website for hp gives you just as many options. The only difference is that the website layout for dell is deisgned to be confusing so that customers on the website will be more likely to call into the sales center where they will be pressured into cross sells and upsells

  21. Re:Your're right on both counts on MIT Dean of Admissions Resigns in Lying Scandal · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you don't have a university degree...

  22. Re:So.... on HP Stops Selling Printers, Starts Selling Prints · · Score: 1

    because the difference between buying a hp brand ink cart versus nonname or refill would be too great

  23. Re:why is the demand so high? on Wii Shortages Could Last For Months · · Score: 1

    super smash bros brawl Mario Party 8 Pokémon Battle Revolution Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games those are all games that wil be released soley on the Wii that have gathered lots of attention, but in addition to those, games which will be cross-platformed released will still offer an entirely different dimension for gameplay on the wii. Imagine playing WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2008 by making punching and lifting movements with the wii controller rather than tapping buttons on a ps3 or xbox360 controller.
