  1. John Mayor Parody? on Your Feces Is a Wonderland of Viruses · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is Weird Al back in town?

  2. Re:yes... on RIAA Paid $16M+ In Legal Fees To Collect $391K · · Score: 2, Informative

    Duh: https://www.ipredator.se/ It is the VPN run by thepiratebay.

  3. Re:I just want a plugin on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Internet · · Score: 1

    I am a braincandy lover too!

  4. Re:Bargain? $200? on Nvidia's $200 GTX 460 Ups Bargain Performance · · Score: 1

    You are right about the framerates until gamers start to embrace... drumroll... 3D. Then we pretty much need to double our framerates.

  5. Re:Bargain? $200? on Nvidia's $200 GTX 460 Ups Bargain Performance · · Score: 1

    Maybe you forgot that price points are not based on U.S. currency only. 100 may be a nice round number in dollars but it is certainly not such a nice number in other currencies.

  6. Re:Nintendo says... on Sony Finally Turning a Profit On PS3s · · Score: 1

    Different products, different markets. Yes, there is some gray area, but anyone who has taken econ 101 will tell you that the products are not direct competitors.

  7. Re:Only 1.23 Mbps? on The Fastest ISPs In the US · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe that is after the speedboost or whatever wears off. Speedboost is not a friend of gaming, in an environment where the players are the hosts, and their bandwidth is being tested quickly to determine the best host, often it is someone with speedboost type buffing.

  8. Re:Not to be paranoid but... on White House Unveils Plans For "Trusted Identities In Cyberspace" · · Score: 1

    is the back of your neck really the most convenient though?

  10. Re:Islam question on Pakistani Lawyer Wants Mark Zuckerberg Executed · · Score: 1

    Unfortunate isn't it?- You'd think people would act... well Christian to someone in need.

  11. Re:Islam question on Pakistani Lawyer Wants Mark Zuckerberg Executed · · Score: 1
    Firstly, many groups of Christianity are evangelical, meaning their purpose is to evangelize. Secondly, this bit here pisses me off:

    Secondarily is to encourage their fellow Christian to avoid sinning; this includes (at the worst) kicking people out of the church when they're chronically unwilling to shape up.

    If someone has a problem, say a girl gets pregnant as a teen. The church should be encouraging her to attend, not kick her out. In other words, Church is for sinners.

  12. Re:1.6 W/kg? on San Francisco Requires Cell Phone Radiation Warnings · · Score: 1

    The coefficient is the wattage of the cell phone over the weight of the cellphone. Why would it have to do with your body weight?

  13. Re:Engineers are ALWAYS right! on San Francisco Requires Cell Phone Radiation Warnings · · Score: 1

    An engineer wasn't likely the one who decided an emergency valve wasn't needed for a measly 500k. That sounds like management.

  14. This could lead to heavier phones: on San Francisco Requires Cell Phone Radiation Warnings · · Score: 1

    So if they need to keep the SAR number low, but want to maintain reception, they should just make the phones heavier. Simply by keeping the wattage the same, and doubling the weight, you cut the SAR coefficient in half!

  15. Re:how much will this cost? on Sony To Launch First 3D PS3 Games On Friday · · Score: 1

    just get a ps3, 299.

  16. Re:First 3D games? on Sony To Launch First 3D PS3 Games On Friday · · Score: 1

    I don't see how a game could rely on depth perception to the disadvantage of a one eyed person any more than those people are already at a disadvantage in real life. Unless your idea of a game is, guess how many meters away this pole is...

  17. Re:Fulltime wearer of Glasses on Sony To Launch First 3D PS3 Games On Friday · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    You guys are pissing me off today. If you have only one eye, turn the damn 3d off. It is an option, not a requirement. And you can't blame sony for putting you at a disadvantage. Gonna blame the DMV or someone else for putting you at a disadvantage with drivers with two eyes? Blame whomever is responsible for your lack of eyesight in one eye.

  18. Re:Russian government with a foot in the mouth on Is Cyberwarfare Fiction? · · Score: 1

    Seriously? You needed to start the Buran is worse/better than the Shuttle debate on slashdot again? Cue the fanboys on how completely different the two programs really were. Secondly, it's not as though the retired shuttle program was spotless.

  19. Re:Idea on US Air Force To Suffer From PS3 Update · · Score: 1

    This sounds almost how apple works- except apple would have told you in advance the ps3 wouldn't have the other os feature, because it is useless and you don't need it. Then they would have added it on the ps4 and everyone would cheer like it was the second coming.

  20. Re:Boxee for me on One In Eight To Cut Cable and Satellite TV In 2010 · · Score: 1

    Out of curiosity, I just dropped comcast cable for 3mb verizon dsl, which I am getting for 30 bucks a month. What are you paying for cable? The 3mb is enough, and we could go to 7mb for 40 a month.

  21. Re:DRM on Avatar Blu-Ray DRM Issues · · Score: 1

    You couldn't rip it to play through your ps3 over the network, but you didn't actually try playing it by.. you know.. putting the bluray directly in the ps3, which uhm, is probably the most up to date bluray player on the market? I don't understand.

    citation please.

  23. If it is barely under water- call it Fiji. on Disputed Island Disappears Into Sea · · Score: 5, Funny

    If the water is still less than say 3 feet deep, crossbreed some sheep with dolphins and start farming leaping mutton!

  24. Re:"Scholars"? on Supersizing the "Last Supper" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    are you implying he is not a specialist in a particular branch of study? Or are you just a dick.

  25. Re:Crowded non-profit band on EMI Cannot Unbundle Pink Floyd Songs · · Score: 1

    I'm from Fort Wayne, and the radio selection isn't that bad- it got a little worse after 102.3 turned from modern/alternative/local rock to mexican polka (not joking). Hell I think it is better than in West Lafayette, which is where Purdue University is. Also- I wouldn't exactly call Fort Wayne a small town- it is the 2nd largest city in the state. And the other guy is right, northern Indiana isn't incredibly conservative.
