Last time I checked, math and science were two different subjects in school. Why didn't they pick the invention of Gorilla Glue, that stuff's like magic! Oh wait, that wasn't invented this year...hmmm...well they still could have picked a cooler scientific breakthrough.
we need videos of people throwing Xbox 360 and PS3 controllers through their TVs on youtube. That seemed to have working for the Wii. And before you're all like "no, nah ah!" this is Microsoft and Sony we're talking about, they'd probably be like "yup, that must be the wii's secret to sucess" If I saw a commercial with Bill Gates whipping around a 360 controller then smashing it into the camera lense and breaking it, I'd be more inclined to buy a 360.
I figured it'd be two weird dudes with big eyebrows making odd expressions at each other but then they said it's about relaxing so duh, just put the sensors on and take a nap:P Or come without having slept for like 2 days lol
The Vista Content Protection specification could very well constitute the longest suicide note in history
Hmmm, let's run through that cost analysis again. It took a lot longer to develop Vista and now nobody's going to buy it because of the restrictions. *gets outs his calculator* yup, that leaves em pretty far in the red. But thank God they don't have to worry about losing money from pirates for at least a few weeks until people find ways around everything.
oooooooh! Now I remember! there was this whole big thing on the discovery channel or something about a really fractured but put back together fossil that was something outrageous like the first mammal ever or some other thing that was never supposed to exist like a half bird half mammal. Some foreign ppl claimed to find it and finally after years they proved it was more than one fossil put together because of some key piece of evidence they finally found. This sounds even more outrageous to me.
Not to be all stereotypical but a lot of outrageous claims and fakes have come from that area in the last couple years. I hope some super-experts examine it. After that, I bet this won't be the last time we hear about it on Slashdot. Oh and heheheheheh at the picture in the article:P
Although it's great to see this as a victory for consumers, I can't help but wonder about the next wave of DRM schemes."
whatever it is, I hope it's something where a riot of people with bats and chains can chase it down and attack it like on iRobot. Yeah, it wasn't really a DRM update that made the robots freak out but dammit, I wanna physically harm a DRM technology!
hahahahahahahahaha me vs some drunk person....man, if you could see me, you'd be laughing. I can beat up most people that aren't drunk, let alone someone that's "lagging with a ping of 500+" lol. As for the rest of you alcoholics trying to feel better about yourselves by posting, I'll tell you as an outside observer that drunk people are ANNOYING. My dad's a DJ so we do lots of wedding with stupid drunks and they really piss me off. If you have to act like that to "have fun" as was mentioned above, you need serious help. That's like psychologist and Zoloft/Paxil scale problems with social anxiety disorder etc. And don't say that nobody's like that cuz more people than you want to admit can't go to a social event without getting drunk. Now follow your damn 12 step AA program and don't mod this down ya jerks, you're just making drunks look worse (if that's even possible)
can't forget that wii sports also gets gamers off the couch too. That's always good! In fact, DDR should have won this year lol. Anyway, too bad Neverwinter Nights 2 crashed and burned cuz of that stupid camera and other dumb, avoidable problems. 1 ROCKED!
I know eventually someone's going to sue an MMOG for making them addicted. Probably someone related to those dumb fat people that sued McDonalds for "making" them fat. Ugh, some people. I think I should start a website where I take bets on how soon it'll happen lol. It'd at least be more entertaining than the "Protecting Our Children (from having fun)" bills.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If they just made subs the health powerups and/or grenade launcher ammo, it'd be a much more affective and less annoying advertising campaign.
Oh good, another one of these studies. Alcohol can cause everything from nerve damage to throat cancer according to pretty much every other study there is. Hmm let's see, it kills bacteria on contact, burns when put on your membranes or other unprotected tissue because it basically destroys organic material, and is flammable yet indigestible and a cup of it pure will kill you...yup sounds perfectly safe, even GOOD FOR YOU! Total bullshit. It's like taking sleeping pills every single day for the rest of your life. It's horrible for you in the long run and will cause massive damage through nickle and diming your body to death. If you had four drinks a day like it said, not only would your liver would be toast but you'd be a stupid, idiotic, and probably abusive person to live with, everyone would hate you, you'd lose your job, get arrested, not remember any of that, and have severe brain and nerve damage. Just google "alcohol related problems" or "alcohol damage study" and you'll find about 10 articles telling the truth for every 1 of these BS ones. Btw the real most dangerous thing about drinking is doing it around me cuz you'll get hurt.
I think some famous dude said "hell hath no fury like someone who just filled out a huge form and the submit times out and wipes it out" Bad design just makes me feel like yay, there's one less person who would get a job over me (future web designer) but nothing makes me or probably anyone else more pissed than composing something huge like a forum post or filling out a big form and then losing all that. In fact, I'd probably get pretty pissed if I pressed submit right now for this and it froze or something. Let's find out...
oops, looks like you got a typo there too. It should read "some article summarizers are so stupid it's just scary" I'm surprised there's no undefited acronyms in it.
I can't imagine how it could possibly be cheaper to put less solar panels on a skyscraper and make it rotate than to just coat the entire outside with more solar panels. It takes A LOT of power to rotate a building...in fact, I bet it'd take all the energy collected from the solar panels all day to rotate it. Ugh, some engineers are so stupid it's just scary.
the strangely named "Privacy Rights Clearinghouse" has just announced that they'll be showing up at one lucky person's house with a giant check with all 100 million pieces of personal data written on it in a really, really small font. I hope I win it!
they actually made a radioactive energy kit FOR KIDS?! Why don't they just put "For ages 8 and up, especially terrorists" on it? They could build a dirty pipe bomb (radiation spreading) using just a couple of those kits probably. Btw I've injured myself with airsoft guns many times and I'm pretty careful and since you're actually shooting at other people with them unlike BB guns, airsoft guns should definitely be there instead.
that sounds like a really, really, really good idea but so was blue screening whenever any program tried to read from memory that was in the operating system section of the memory. I guess if hackers found away around it then it doesn't work so well. Why didn't they fix that problem? It's like building a new car because your other one is broken.
Edelman found that 5 percent of the results provided by search engines were marked as either "red" or "yellow"...his new study has shown that only 4.4 percent of such sites are risky, representing a drop of 12 percent
well now you just know that the statistics are accurate with math like that. Seriously, that makes less than no sense. Sounds like they just made up some stuff to advertise SiteAdvisor.
I would not be surprised if they did an alternate reality or sequel to SG-1 series where Canada gets a gate, since that's where it's made and that's where a lot of the people who work on it are from. As long as it's got furry little Furlongs that look like the Ewoks' cousins, I'll be happy!
I think it's obvious he posted that on purpose to give the media an excuse to run another round of "piracy is killing the music industry!" and then cleared it up later, which btw also results in more people paying attention to the actual truth that they're doing better so people feel more inclined to use their growing service. Who the hell runs a sample size that low anyway? And is it just a coincidence that because of the low sample size, the results were so drastically different than what's really going on? Survey says....no
Slashdot Mirror
but people can make their own custom image distributions and activate copies of Vista with fake servers lol.
I bet the string that causes memory corruptions is "Hello world!" hehehehe.
