  1. Re:Continue to Oppose? on US FDA Deems Cloned Animals Edible · · Score: 0

    The major problem with pesticides, you see, is that they were designed to kill things.

    And you make the assumption that every single piece of meat on shelves will be the clone of just one animal. Even if one cow provides 1,000 clones, it is unlikely that you or anybody could be eating the same cow over and over.

    Also, nowhere in the summary or in the full article does it say that labelling the meat as being cloned or not would be prohibited, just that it would not be required. So... no fascism here. That was a pretty quick enactment of Godwin's, though.

  2. Continue to Oppose? on US FDA Deems Cloned Animals Edible · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'd imagine the opposition groups will start losing much of their leverage given the fact that the meat's been deemed no different from ordinary meat.

  3. Capture on 33 MegaPixel TV in 2015 · · Score: 0

    The video display industry is finally catching up (in terms of pixels) to the video capture industry.

    ...Heh.

  4. Prices on Proposed Canadian MP3 Player Tax Struck Down · · Score: 0, Interesting

    As a resident of Canada, I am ecstatic about this news.

    The price of electronics is already much higher than in the States; this law would have merely exacerbated the issue and forced more Canadians to take a border run for their iPod fix.

    1) Using my eyes, read your post. 2) Realize that Shift + C doesn't do jack shit. 3) ???? 4) Realize you are an idiot. 5) Profit

    No fun? Then just bind a key to kill everyone in the server and press it as soon as you die.

    Perhaps, but he said $100 more, not $100, so the rate of his old carrier has already been subtracted.

  9. Re:QuickTime runs on Windows too... on Month of Apple Bugs - First Bug Unveiled · · Score: 0, Funny

    What's wrong with all the haters? No balls to show who they really are so they hide behind the AC moniker. Pussy!
    Unless this is sarcasm... does anybody else see the irony here?

    I say they settle this over a nice friendly game of Resistance: Fall of Man.

    It takes work to hide under rocks. Not as much as it takes to use an 'e' key, but it still takes some work.

  12. Re:Doesn't China just pirate stuff? on Fighting For the Chinese Gaming Market · · Score: 0

    Which, correct me if I am wrong, is around the same ratio of $/hr to $/game as it is in the States?

  13. Re:If You Thought PS2 Insanity Was Crazy... on GameStop Short PS3s For Launch Day · · Score: 0

    How is this a troll? At all?

    But anyway, that seems to be fairly accurate representation of the launch's current situation, at least from what I've encountered.

    Well yes, you can believe that, but being cynical will tell you otherwise. What are the chances that these figures aren't eventually going to help the US track down its 'terrorists'. It's just another carte blanche in the government's possession.

    Now we can pay absurd amounts of money per month for service, and get all our rights to privacy stripped away! Heck yes!

  21. Ironic on Make Linux "Gorgeous," Says Ubuntu Leader · · Score: 1

    Funny, this is, in my opinion, precisely the problem with Linux. Programmers are spending too much time designing shnuggly-wuggly GUI's and spend less time on drivers and other necessities for the OS.

  22. Good Beginning... on Why Sony Won't Lose The Next-Gen War · · Score: 1

    Finally an article that doesn't submit an apocalyptic view of life without Sony. Sony won't bomb this generation. It's going to do fine. They're no idiots, as much as people might be screaming otherwise. It's a multi-billion dollar corporation that knows what the f*ck it's doing. They'll sell all their release consoles, and though they might not meet their goals, they'll do damn well. At this point, the only thing hindering them is the media. And people saying it's too expensive, well, the basic PS3 will cost $500 dollars, which is a mere $100 more than the full X360 pack. And let's face it, the "Core System" kinda sucked - a lot - while the PS3 basic system seems like it will be a perfectly amazing console, not some half-assed imitation of the "real PS3". So if people would just step back and place some trust in Sony, things would go a lot smoother.

  24. Re:Hacked voting machines or not... on How to Hack the Vote and Steal the Election · · Score: 1

    Too true. What really needs to be done is for us to spearhead the twisting of some mildly inconsequential election and then submit what's been done to a major newspaper. Throwing this information around on Slashdot is great, but what really needs to be done is for this information to be submitted to a major, widely-known and widely-read newspaper in greatly "dumbed down" language.

    That would get their attention.
