  1. Tarantino? on George Lucas to Receive Lifetime Achievement Award · · Score: 0, Troll
    Two good movies? Reservoir Dogs is his only decent flick.

    The rest are rehashing the same idiotic themes repeatedly.

  2. Re:threadjack on Beer Found to be as Healthy as Wine · · Score: 1

    Blanche de Chambly (Unibroue), Guinness, and Strongbow cider.

    And when drinking pints, after two I'm coherent, after 4 I know I've had enough, and after 6+ the hangover is going to be bad anyways, so why stop?

  3. Re:Canadian *Arrow* on Canadian Arrow Completes Drop Test · · Score: 1

  4. Re:Command HQ on Which Classic Games Have Aged Well? · · Score: 1

    And written by Danielle Bunten (previously Dan Bunten) best known for MULE.

    Best Bunten saying: Why play with yourself when you can play with others?

  5. Re:Dodging? on Corporate Work in the US vs. Canada? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    No selective service and no draft in Canada. There was conscription at the end of World War 2 (you know, the one that started in 1939), but it divided the country.

  6. Re:But Case -saved- AOL on There Must be a Pony in Here Somewhere · · Score: 2, Insightful

    AC: If you keep all your stock in one company, you're an idiot. Diversify. Take the time to manage your investments properly. Or don't bitch when things don't work out.

  7. Re:Worst Merger Ever on There Must be a Pony in Here Somewhere · · Score: 1

    Keep in mind, Time Warner has a history of buying high and selling low with computer companies. Anyone remember a little outfit called Atari?

  8. Re:Mature and robust on The Trouble With Using D&D Rules In Videogames? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That's why Paranoia is the best game system - players are forbidden to know the rules, and the GM's one main rule is: Keep it lively. If a player is boring, they're dead.

  9. Re:First Amendment versus Libel laws on Attorney Mike Godwin Answers 'Cyberlaw' Questions · · Score: 1

    If anything, you'd rise in the estimation of some /. readers...

  10. Re:This has been here for a while on Nvidia Drivers Enforce Macrovision's Rules · · Score: 2, Informative

    Mind you, using REALLY old NVidia drivers lets you watch DVDs full-screen and have the Clone mode working on the TV - so you've got video out and audio out without Macrovision...

    Gee, a person could feed those signals into a VCR and tape DVDs if they wanted to... good thing that converting from one format to another for your personal viewing is Fair Use.

  11. Re:New talent? on Simpsons Actors on Strike · · Score: 1

    My Suggestion: Replace all the cast with Rick Miller. He does a one-man show called "MacHomer" where Shakespeare comes to Springfield, and he does all the voices. (His take on Les Mis with the Simpsons cast is a lesser work, IMHO)

  12. Novell's next plan on KDE And Gnome Together At Last? · · Score: 2, Funny

    "We'll merge Vi and Emacs! That way, everyone will be happy!"

  13. Re:I believe the actual phrase... on LOTR to Become a London Musical · · Score: 1

    I'm also considering "Avenue Q" (the OBC album is a hoot), but I've been told that it doesn't work as well in a larger theatre as it did off-Broadway.

    Any suggestions for must-see shows (that won't require VIP $500 tickets - this means you, messrs Lane and Broderick!)

  14. Re:I believe the actual phrase... on LOTR to Become a London Musical · · Score: 1

    I stand corrected on the quote. Though if people are so eager to see a musical that didn't succeed on Broadway, may I suggest "Rags" instead?

    (And in 13 days I'll be at the Gershwin Theatre, seeing a Popular show).

    (Bonus points for knowing how those two are related)

  15. Re:I smell trouble. on LOTR to Become a London Musical · · Score: 1

    The preferred term for musical flops is "Worst since Carrie".

    Yes, there was a Stephen King musical. But it's bets not to mention it in polite company...

  16. Worst. Slashdot Article. Ever. on Comic Book Physics · · Score: 3, Funny

  17. Re:i think there's been a misunderstanding on 'Mouse-Tronaughts' to Test Low-Gravity in Space · · Score: 3, Funny

    So what should we call Richard Gere?

  18. Re:"Hong Kong-based"?!? on UK Music Industry Stomps on Imported CD Seller · · Score: 2, Funny
    remember, you can't say blowjob in court

    I won't ask how you know this...

  19. Re:Enough on Bell Labs Demos Cell Phone Location Software · · Score: 1

    I only use my affinity card at the local liquor store. Thus, the data miners know that I like red wine (pinot noirs and sauvignons) and dark beer.

    I figure in another 15-20 years I'll start getting liver transplant spam.

  20. Re:Hopes for Zaphod on Hitchhiker's Guide Film Reports · · Score: 1

    Mod the parent -1, underage...

  21. Re:istop on Broadband Pricing Across The World? · · Score: 1

    They're limited to the info Bell provides, and Bell is (at times) somewhat less than helpful to competitors.

    Try calling or emailing them, inlcuding the news that you've already got Bell's service.

  22. Re:It's about monopolies on Broadband Pricing Across The World? · · Score: 1

    Bell owns the local loop, but there are many DSL resellers. Mine offers better pricing and a more tech-friendly environment ie no ports blocked.

  23. Re:It depends on the service... on Broadband Pricing Across The World? · · Score: 1

    What a rip-off. For $129 CAD (around $100 USD) I can get business 3.5/800 ADSL, no PPPoE, five static IPs, no server restrictions, only bandwidth restriction is that you can't constantly saturate the link between noon and midnight.

    Or, for $99 CAD (around $78 USD) you're limited to 60Gb/month.

    http://www.istop.com/business.html

    US prices are crimial extortion.

  24. Re:Has anyone with a DSL account gotten these emai on How Much Broadband Usage is Too Much? · · Score: 1

    Sounds insasnely expensive to me. A local provider offers a 3.5/800 connection, static IP, non-PPPoE DSL with unlimited bandwidth for $1000 Canadian a year.

    Thier only caveat is that "Continuous daily saturation of download or upload capacity between 1200 and 2400 is not permitted."

    I, of course, am still stuck with their 1.7/384 PPPoE service. $30 CAD per month, 25Gb per month plus unlimited between 0200 and 1000.

    (And their colocation fee structure even includes a $10/month headache tax for Windows boxes).

  25. Re:Porn! on Likely Success of Internet-Related Business Models? · · Score: 1
    Because, remember, The Internet Is For Porn

    Taken from Avenue Q, best described as The Muppet Show meets Rent.
