    Or, as we read about just a few days ago, movie production studios masking criticism of a stinker of a movie so people pay to see it anyway.

  4. Re:Got a slightly better idea on Police Shame Pranksters On YouTube · · Score: 1

    If I were a british taxpayer, I would probably be all for this (as long as there were a short ban period, say days or weeks).

  5. Re:Legendary on Legendary Thinks Outside "The Box," Hits Pre-Release · · Score: 1

    Legendary Game in a Box...outside 'the box'

  6. Worry less about the gameplay.... on Legendary Thinks Outside "The Box," Hits Pre-Release · · Score: 1

    ...and more about whether the game will play.

    That's right, it's Games for Windows.

  7. Re:some of the worst writing I've seen in a while on Legendary Thinks Outside "The Box," Hits Pre-Release · · Score: 1

    Try reading that out loud! It makes my brain hurt... High school graduates should be able to write better than that.

  8. Re:It's Clippy For The Microsoft Auto! on Microsoft Bets Big On Computing For the Car · · Score: 1

    I like the volume that changes with RPM, as long as it's able to be enabled/disabled like it was when I first noticed it (late 90's)...

  9. Re:Gambit! on Leaked Wolverine Origin Trailer Makes the Rounds · · Score: 1

    Gambit was my favourite X-man!
    threw those cards with kinetic energy and carried a long staff!

  10. I wonder.... on Leaked Wolverine Origin Trailer Makes the Rounds · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Does anyone else wonder why they chose Hugh Jackman again? Personally, I thought he was good, but not phenomenal.
    Can /. think of anyone who would be better suited to the role?

  11. Re:I never understood screeners on WB Took Pains To "Delay" Pirating of Dark Knight · · Score: 1

    here come the tears...

    So in other words, the Oyster system was smashed to pieces.

  14. Re:Monopoly on Patch DNS Servers Faster · · Score: 2, Funny

    Clearly your only option is to just unplug & turn in your geek card. Sorry.

  15. Re:Am I safe? on Patch DNS Servers Faster · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Does your ISP end in ...omcast? then it probably hasn't

  16. Re:Switch DNS Servers, NOT ISPs on Patch DNS Servers Faster · · Score: 1

    How would one potentially do something like this? Is it a setting inside the modem or router's firmware?

  17. Re:Silver linings on Spam King Escapes From Federal Prison · · Score: 1

    LATFA (Look At TFA)

  18. From TFA.... on Researchers Face Jail Risk For Tor Snooping Study · · Score: 1
    I thought this section was particularly funny:

    Since we are forwarding traffic on behalf of Tor users, our routerâ(TM)s IP address appears to be the source of sometimes malicious traffic. The large amount of exit bandwidth that we provided caused us to receive a large number of complaints ranging from DMCA Â512 notices related to allegations of copyright infringement, reported hacking attempts, IRC bot network controls, and web page defacement. However, an enormous amount of malicious client activity was likely unreported.

    Did they really not see that one coming??

  19. Re:Better not take any chances on Astronomers Claim Discovery of Earth-like Planet · · Score: 1

    I vote we send som red LED-eyed cyborgs with advanced AI out there and wait for them to explore and come back to greet us nicely.

    Who's with me?

  20. Not surprising.... on Internet Users Not Updating Browser · · Score: 1
    It's not terribly surprising when you consider how many pirated copies of windows exist (impeding Windows Update) & how annoying Firefox is (asking to update every second time I run it!).

    I don't have the absolute latest browser version, but all of mine are pretty close...

  21. How they managed to find law-abiding businesses... on Flaws In a BSA Software Piracy Report? · · Score: 1

    BSA: "Do you pirate software?" Pointy-haired Boss: "I'm not sure we even own any ships." BSA: "Have a nice day."

    Look on the bright side - neither of us have a virus!

  23. Re:It's just a matter of time on The Microsoft Office Rental Program · · Score: 1

    That's why openoffice comes with that handy "Export to PDF" option. I've begun using OpenOffice exclusively on my personal laptop & since I'm just a student, I can basically get around any obstacle between formats (maybe OO imports from MS Office better than the other way around?).

  24. Re:At Slashdot on Trees' Leaves Grow At a Cool 70° All Over the World · · Score: 1

    we can focus on the article Oh, you must be new here.
