  1. Re:Security on Wal-Mart Offers Up Downloadable Movies · · Score: 1

    In the basement?! Do you know how far that is?
    Any further than the corner of the living room and it's just not worth it to get to if something happens to it!

  2. Re:Cost Effective? on NASA May Have to Buy Trips to Space · · Score: 1

    Don't equate Americans with the American government. I haven't liked a thing they've done in the last decade or so.

  3. Re:Assume-deny. on 7 Ways to Be Mistaken for a Spammer · · Score: 1, Insightful

    So nobody should advertise, ever, just in case somebody doesn't want what's being advertised?

  4. Re:"Unsubscribe" links are harmful; don't click th on 7 Ways to Be Mistaken for a Spammer · · Score: 1

    "The ultimate definition of "Spam" is pretty simple: it's email that people don't want to receive. If you're sending out email to people who would rather not be getting it, you're a spammer, plain and simple. It may not be illegal (yet), but it doesn't mean that it's not obnoxious."

    But honestly, how do they KNOW you don't want it unless they give it a try? (I'm 100% serious here. I want your response.)

    Flamebait? FLAMEBAIT?! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_War I highly recommend this.

    That users of the infected GPS units will only be able to find their way around in Greece?

  8. Re:I'm for it. I think. on Why the .XXX Domain is a Bad Idea That Won't Die · · Score: 1

    Hey now, I've been online since '96, when I was just barely ten, and look how I turned out. I post pointless replies on /.!

  9. Hell, I got expelled in 10th grade for similar. on Schools Act to Short-Circuit 'Cyberbullying' · · Score: 1

    I was accused of having a hit list by some of my classmates, because in my (I think it was) DeadJournal I stated that I'd be just as happy without anyone I knew around me all the time. That was a lovely year, you might imagine.

  10. Re:Does this consitute eves dropping? on Using AI to Monitor Kids Online · · Score: 1

    Because there's always truth on television, especially with mainstream media outlets. Mmmhmm.... Ooh, Kool-Aid!

    And you can get Media Center Edition, which is essentially Pro+, for $15-20 more, like I did.

  13. Re:Online predators on Deleting Online Predators Act - R.I.P. · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I think "nefarious" would have to be spelled out from the start. I just passed the "Legal Age" a few years back (I'm 20 now), and I still hang out with the 15-17 crowd from time to time, and let's face it, they're just as big a group of perverts as I and my social group were at their age.


    If I were magically imprisoned because someone decided that "hanging out at telling dirty jokes and throwing innuendo around" was nefarious, there would be a serious problem. And I see it as a potentiality.

  14. Re:So a question- if a judgement found against kid on RIAA Drops Suit Against Santangelo · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the fun my dad had a few years ago. Totally screwed him up from the base of his neck to the bottom of his spine. Hit dead on from the rear at a stoplight by an old lady. The insurance ... I don't even think they covered his rehab, and I don't remember just how badly he went into debt during his inability to work (Due to being in a brace 24/7) in his field (Professional driver. Mostly long-haul) but the little old lady got her car replaced and was unhurt. My dad's car.. Heh. The entire rear section of the frame rolled under the car, making it inoperable even if the insurance company didn't want to total it out. Isn't the law fun when it comes to liability!

    They have Tin Foil Hats in Russia now? And how does Bush fit into all of this?

  16. Re:Slashdot HYPOCRISY by PROUD ANONYMOUS! on Behind the Magic of Anti-Censorship Software · · Score: 1

    Well, see, a lot of times people post without an account because they're afraid to let people know it's them holding that opinion. Thusly, it's easy to draw the conclusion that people posting anonymously = coward. Plus, it's free. Grow a pair and register.

    So how tight is the foil on YOUR head?

  18. Re:again on The Importance of Game Length · · Score: 1

    Don't forget Diablo II for PC

  19. Just my take. on The Importance of Game Length · · Score: 1

    Ideally, I'd like a game that A) Changes every time you start a new game, B) Has a decent length, and C) Can be played when I want (As in, I can start it at any time and play, and not have to do a thousand things just to get going), and saved and resumed when I want. I used to play a lot of Diablo II, and it's pretty well summed up, at least by those three standards, as "The Perfect Game." Though a nice 70-hour-or-more RPG really gets me going. If you know what I mean. And I hope you don't.
