  1. Re:linking to fox news? on Expert Warns: Civilian World Not Ready For Massive EMP-Caused Blackout · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Well, to be fair, at this point a link to the onion would enhance the credibility of the article.

  2. Indeed, the best way to get around the slashdot effect is to hit refresh repeatedly, that will get it working.

  3. Re:fuck me on Google Glass Signs Deal With Ray Ban's Parent Company · · Score: 1

    Well hot damn, I will tell my boss that right away!

    Of course, the loading time for it is a bit much but I am sure my whole company will love this free resource they can now use.

    Not purchased prescription tinted lenses lately, have we?

    Last price I got on a new script for mine was $300 for the glass and they would reuse my frames (yes, Rayban frames).

    The Miles Sound System is a game sound API that does more than just play a single MP3. It plays lots and lots at once, with spacial geometry, allowing accurate 2D and 3D sound to be produced. Many, many games use RAD Tools' stuff, this likely wont be a Valve-only issue but one facing a lot of game companies should they port to linux.

  8. Re:..you'll be able to scream, 'fire the lasers!'" on Laser Headlights Promise More Intense, Controllable Beams · · Score: 2

    Except the headlight beams are not actually lasers.

  9. Re:Upholds previous precedent on German Court Forbids Resale of Valve Games · · Score: 2

    Well, since you and the other replier seem so intent on taking my comment out of context I will help you.

    Yes, there are things that are excluded from being enforced within a contract. But just because one party of the contract wants things to be different, doesn't mean the other party has to allow it. There can simply be no contract and no license given. They are demanding particular things that some software makers are simply not willing to give and as a consequence taking that denial of license as a right to do with the software as they wish.

    Can I simply not agree with the GPL and use the software/code anyway? The original parent's argument seems along these lines.

  10. Re:Upholds previous precedent on German Court Forbids Resale of Valve Games · · Score: 1

    On the flip-side, what right do you have to dictate the way their software license works?

    The only right you always have in this regard is the right not to play/use their software.

    It can if you have diabetes or a GI disease.

    Just hope you never get a GI disorder, cramps will be the least painful thing you have to deal with.

  13. Re:And great quotes... on US Customs Destroys Virtuoso's Flutes Because They Were "Agricultural Items" · · Score: 1

    No, seriously, this isn't a troll.

    How the fuck do you get so far through life without writing a letter? It is a basic skill and required to even get a job for most of us.

  14. Re:Microsoft enters the lucrative fat shaming mark on Microsoft's New Smart Bra Could Stop You From Over Eating · · Score: 2

    You aren't thinking the 'next step' in this.

    Bra as a service
    The best support you could hope for, exactly when you need it.

    Of course, MS would need to really work on their support, the few times I have had to contact them for real tech issues, they have wanted to charge me before I could even leave a bug report.

    When did Antarctica get a tech hub?

    Just unplug the router, fashion a tinfoil hat and wear it while crying yourself to sleep in a corner. Google is the internet, get used to it.

    Yup, between roll20 and Google Hangouts for the actual game and many awesome groups and collectives online you can be playing nearly every night a week if you want.

    The people allowed the app, complete with special warning, to 'post tweets on their behalf'.

    There comes a time in your life where you take responsibility for your own actions. For the most part, we call this adulthood.

    Don't be so harsh on them. They read 2-3 lines of information on the internet. Not only are those lines absolute truth but no more information is needed before wild speculation and drama can be generated.
