  1. Re:Org-mode! on 12 Ways LibreOffice Writer Tops MS Word · · Score: 1

    You are missing the point. Nobody actually cares what kind of editor you or anyone else uses. It is just a nostalgic reminder of the pointless editor-wars in days of yore.

  2. Re:Recent IT escalation? on Iran's Oil Industry Hit By Cyber Attacks · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Occams Razor: Someone accidentally downloaded a virus while surfing at work.

  3. Re:Nasa needs to build a bio dome on NASA Unveils Greenest Federal Building In the Nation · · Score: 2

    I don't think that is the case. You probably wouldn't build the biodome on earth and then transport it to another planet.

  4. Re:Still not truly green on NASA Unveils Greenest Federal Building In the Nation · · Score: 0, Troll

    Not if they break before they produce more energy than they consume which is very well possible.

  5. Re:"Zarefarid is reportedly no longer in Iran, tho on Hacker Posts Details of 3 Million Iranian Bank Accounts · · Score: 2

    He only believes Iran is a peaceful paradise that the capitalist west is trying to bring down.

  6. Re:So you're telling me, on Independent Audit Finds Foxconn Violates Chinese Work Rules · · Score: 1

    And what moron refers to Taiwan with China. Everyone will think of mainland China....

  7. Re:Maybe the delay is in the UI on Cops Can Crack an iPhone In Under Two Minutes · · Score: 1

    They have physical access to the phone... They can just dump the harddisk.

  8. Definitely not news anymore on The Fall of Data Haven Sealand · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This story shows up every couple of months...

  9. Re:Linux on Ask Slashdot: Which Multiple Desktop Tool For Windows 7? · · Score: 1

    Meh, who cares. But I do hope you are wearing your tinfoil hat.

  10. Linux on Desktop on Why Linux Can't 'Sell' On the Desktop · · Score: 1

    Finally an article about linux on the desktop.

  11. Re:No human can play a decent game of chess on Detecting Chess Cheats Taxes Computers · · Score: 1

    I seriously doubt that Go is much of a challenge for a computer. A Go software that has been in development as long as fritz for example would probably also destroy any human opponent.

  12. Having a look. on A Look At One of Blizzard's Retired World of Warcraft Servers · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who doesn't think of pictures when someone says they are having a look at the server? I mean he literally just took pictures of the hardware?!

  13. Re:carriers are people too on USS Enterprise Takes Its Final Voyage · · Score: 1

    If that really were the case that thing would crash and burn. Nothing is built so it has to rely on several hunderds of people making no mistake. Because people make tons of mistakes all the time.

  14. Re:Low Power on Japan's Nuclear Energy Industry Nears Shutdown · · Score: 1

    They burn through a shitton of oil.

  15. Re:Multiple logins and players on a single account on Valve Reportedly Working On 'Steam Box' Gaming Console · · Score: 1

    Probably going to be done the same way every console does it. Nothing really for Valve to think about.

  16. Re:what about on Valve Switching Team Fortress 2 To Free-To-Play Increased Revenue Twelvefold · · Score: 1

    The orange box was the best deal ever, and then four years later the game is free? Noone is getting pissed at that. The also gave away Portal for free.

  17. Re:freemium only works on stupid people on Valve Switching Team Fortress 2 To Free-To-Play Increased Revenue Twelvefold · · Score: 1

    Did you even bother reading the article? "But by far the biggest thing we did to change this perception was to make all the items that change the game free. You can get them from item drops, or from the crafting system. It might be a little easier to buy them in the store, but you can get them without paying"

  18. Re:Why does there always have to be a bad guy? on Lego Creating Multiplayer Online Game · · Score: 1

    Personally I always played out fights with legos. Like some guys invading a fortress or pirates attacking a city I built. But since it's a MMORPG there will probably also be non-fighting stuff to do.

  19. Early adopters ... on Some Early Adopters Stung By Ubuntu's Karmic Koala · · Score: 1

    I thought every Linux user knew that bleeding edge != stability.

  20. Finally on VIA Quits Motherboard Chipset Business · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I had a few mainboards with VIA-Chips, but it just never worked that well. Especially their drivers are horrible. Looks like I'm not the only one who hasn't bought anything from VIA in a long time.

  21. Re:I'm not worried, because... on Unreal Creator Proclaims PCs are Not For Gaming · · Score: 1

    The trick to a good gaming system is to always buy stuff that is already considered "old". Never buy cutting edge. I only buy a computer every few years (last one 2 years ago) and I can play every new game without a problem. Altough you can't always play on highest settings, but I don't really care that much about it. It's enough if the game looks good and has a good framerate. One big problem with PC-Performance are the really bad coded games. Many EA-Games have such horrible engines that use lots of resources and still look shitty. On the other hand the Source-Engine is really cool. I can even play HL2 and the like with my shitty integrated ATI-Card on my old laptop (and even with medium graphics).

  22. Re:Uwe Boll? on John Rhys-Davies Notes The Pitfalls of Game Movies · · Score: 5, Informative

    According to Wikipedia: In the DVD commentary of Alone in the Dark, Boll explains how he funds his films: "Maybe you know it but it's not so easy to finance movies in total. And the reason I am able to do these kind of movies is I have a tax shelter fund in Germany, and if you invest in a movie in Germany you get basically fifty percent back from the Government."

  23. Re:Interesting on Second Life Shuts Down Gambling · · Score: 1

    Not really. There was a lot of player run gambling in WoW until Blizzard completely banned it.

  24. Accounced on OpenBSD Foundation Announced · · Score: 4, Funny

    Slashdot is according to Google already the Nr. 2 Source for accouncing!

  25. Re:Darfur on Google Earth Highlights Darfur · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Fuck you.

    Do you really care how it's called? People get killed and raped every day. Even if it is some pointless war, someone should put an end to it, because the government there is obviously not willing to do it.
