  1. Re:Not a good sign... on Google Wins Injunction Against Agency Using Microsoft Cloud · · Score: 0, Troll

    Why should someone who has have to give it up for someone who hasn't?

  2. Re:Won't Be Long... on First PlayStation 3 Custom Firmware Created · · Score: 1

    Please read what I replied to. Then re-read what I wrote.

    Then read what you wrote.

    And then go sit in the corner and think about it for a while.

  3. Re:Idle? on Doctor Marries Doctor's Daughter, TARDIS Explodes · · Score: 1

    Because it's in Entertainment instead, since it's... about actors?

  4. Re:Won't Be Long... on First PlayStation 3 Custom Firmware Created · · Score: 1

    You don't have to make a lot of money to have a nice TV and entertainment center setup. This is America, remember?

  5. Re:Won't Be Long... on First PlayStation 3 Custom Firmware Created · · Score: 1, Redundant

    My computer has HDMI out and is in the living room so there goes that theory.

  6. Re:Ubisofts DRM on Ubisoft's Draconian DRM Patched? · · Score: 1

    I paid $20 today for Divinity II. That's the most I've paid for a PC game since Ultima IX.

  7. Re:DRM?- I just play non-DRM games :P on Ubisoft's Draconian DRM Patched? · · Score: 1

    I don't own a game that I DON'T use a no-CD crack on. Who wants to cart around a spindle of CDs just in case? (I do all my gaming on a laptop wherever I happen to be, YMMV, of course)

  8. Re:Whats next? on 'No Refusal' DUI Checkpoints Coming To Florida? · · Score: 1

    Democratic National Convention...

  9. Re:For the most part yeah. on Should Colleges Ban Classroom Laptop Use? · · Score: 1

    I can hardly read my own terribly slowly written handwriting. I can type nearly 100WPM when I know what I'm about to type.

    Please explain to me how my laptop is less useful to me for class than a pen and paper?

  10. As someone who always had a laptop in class... on Should Colleges Ban Classroom Laptop Use? · · Score: 1

    And was always sitting off to the side where nobody could be bothered by my screen, and always taking notes/being active in class, I'd have to say no, don't punish everyone for the sake of those who can't control themselves.

  11. To take a shot in the dark... on Do High Schools Know What 'Computer Science' Is? · · Score: 1

    No, no they do not.

    The only courses offered at my high school were keyboarding and VERY basic VB classes taught by a math teacher who was learning VB as she "taught" us.

  12. Re:Instead of single fire, 25 hours and out... on Single-Player Game Model 'Finished,' Says EA Exec · · Score: 1

    Oh crap.

    I just got the Baldur's Gate twinge after reading this reply. Good thing I don't have anything I need to do today...

  13. Instead of single fire, 25 hours and out... on Single-Player Game Model 'Finished,' Says EA Exec · · Score: 1

    Why not make "Game so awesome it's worthy of 4-5 playthroughs and can easily top out at 100+ hours per." Like in the good old days.

  14. Re:Fastest. Slashdoting. EVER. on Pay Or Else, News Site Threatens · · Score: 1

    That implies more than one person is involved.

  15. Re:Can't you simulate a chemistry set with softwar on Safety Commission To Rule On Safety of Rulers In Science Kits · · Score: 1

    Can != Will.

  16. There already IS a competitive angle on Competition Produces Vandalism Detection For Wikis · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They already compete to be the first to revert edits they disagree with.

  21. Re:If indeed, truly sad news on Xbox Head Proclaims Blu-ray Dead · · Score: 1

    Yowch.

    Even with a 250GB cap I'm at 510GB for the month. Expecting my angry phone call soon.

  22. Re:If indeed, truly sad news on Xbox Head Proclaims Blu-ray Dead · · Score: 1

    Add things like Comcast limiting data transfer to 250GB/month and there's no way in hell it would be effective.

  23. Re:Begs the question. on Online Shopping May Actually Increase Pollution · · Score: 1

    I've found good deals there. It's just that you have to do your homework - It's great to have a web-enabled smartphone on you at all times, especially when shopping.

  24. Re:4chan gets it wrong again... on 4chan Gives 90-Year-Old Vet a Great Birthday · · Score: 1

    But his birthday isn't November 11...

  25. Re:Maths ? on Hurt Locker File-Sharing Subpoenas Begin · · Score: 1
