  1. Wait, wait, wait. on Gunplay Blamed For Cutting Fiber · · Score: 1

    Since when did Sonera operate in the US?

  2. Re:Fundamental Flaw In Wikipedia? on ESA, EA Caught Editing Their Own Wikipedia Entries · · Score: 2, Informative

    Oh, really? Or then the dumb idiot pulls of a three-revert, or the good user brings it up on the talk page, or even better, notifies an admin of a badly behaving IP and gets someone to solve the whole issue. The greatest weakness of Wikipedia is the prejudiced approach that people often hold against it and how it handles vandalism/etc.

  3. Greetings from Europe. on How Much Does a New Internet Cost? · · Score: 0, Troll

    The damned "problems" you're talking about exists.. tadaaa, Only In America!(tm). So, start lobbying or something. Because we're enjoying some really awesome internets.. hahahaha..

  4. "School's"? on US School Curriculum to Include Online Safety? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Who dares to let through such idiotic abuse's [sic] of the apostrophe?!

  5. Re:But with mininova on The Pirate Bay About To Relaunch Suprnova.org · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It holds a certain nostalgic value. I'm really happy to hear this.

  6. More buyers on GTA IV Delayed Into Next Year · · Score: 1

    Consoles will get cheaper by then, well, at least X360 should. Also, a slightly larger user base will be available than there is right now, which means more sales, and Microsoft's exclusive episode packs (two of them) were announced for 2008. This should definitely boost sales and also give people time to save money on a console. Really, not a bad move if you're a patient fan.

  7. Re:On youtube? on Music Piracy Documentary Released As Torrent · · Score: 1

    Just because you're on Linux doesn't mean everyone has to run Java software. Torrent FTW.

  8. Re:What? No MGS4? on E3 Critics Award Winners Announced · · Score: 0, Troll

    Yeah, MGS4 or GTA4 deserve it. Halo/CoD came around like one year ago, pfft.. MGS and GTA have been around for well over 10 years and don't rely on a beowulf cluster of 10-year-old Xbox players who have no taste for FPSs (PC FPSs > * > console FPSs) to make themselves famous.

  9. Re:This will NOT raise awareness or work in any wa on TimeWarner DNS Hijacking · · Score: 1

    Hmm.. as opposed to Americans who are of a somehow "non-European" descent? :)

  10. One thing I have to say about the book as a /.er on Deathly Hallows / OOTP Movie Discussion · · Score: 1

    TL;DR. :p

  11. "Nigerian Children" on OLPC Used to Browse Porn · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Why are "children" capitalized? Is "Nigerian Children" some kind of a scammer group? What a funny name..

  12. Jets on Six Minutes of Terror - Landing Humans on Mars · · Score: 1

    Sorry if I'm ignorant of some aspects of aviation technology, engines, or physics, but can't they use jet engines to slow it down, and then user whatever method that would otherwise be unusable at too high speeds?

  13. Re:Que Jack Thompson protest now on Live GTAIV Demo Dominates Take Two E3 Event · · Score: 4, Informative
    From Wikipedia:

    On 20 April 2007, both parties reached a settlement and agreed to drop their respective lawsuits. Under the terms of the settlement Thompson is barred from suing to block the sale or distribution of any future games published by Take Two Interactive or any of its subsidiaries. He will be restricted to communicating through Take Two Interactive's attorneys on any future matters. Thompson will still be able to maintain his outspoken stance against the publisher's titles, as well as still being allowed to act as counsel in lawsuits brought against Take Two Interactive by other parties.
  14. In other words.. on Live GTAIV Demo Dominates Take Two E3 Event · · Score: 4, Funny

    Grand Theft Auto hijacked the event.

  15. From the article on US Military Leaks its Secrets Online · · Score: 1, Interesting

    But it's already out there, posted carelessly to file servers by government agencies and contractors, accessible to anyone with an Internet connection. How did they end up "posting carelessly"? I thought they have an Intranet that is separate from the web servers.
  16. And? on Matt Groening to be Final Boss in New Simpsons Game · · Score: 1, Insightful

    How did this get on the front page of Slashdot?

  17. Great attempt on MPAA Sets Up Fake Site to Catch Pirates · · Score: 1

    Too bad they can't catch the terabyte torrent distributors, or hell, even the scence itself, so they try to catch the naïve, computer illiterate and often innocent grandmas and children.

  18. Re:Who is driving? on Tangible Display Makes 3D Touchable · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's really exciting to finally find a new brother, enlightenment. :)

  19. Star Wars on The United States Space Arsenal · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Whatever happened to the Strategic Defense Initiative?

  20. Re:Will it on All Things iPhone · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    No! The question is: "will it run Linux?", you insensitive clod!

  21. Re:Good to see! on Sun Super Computer May Hit 2 Petaflops · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    It's "[g]reat job, Sun!", not "[g]reat job Sun!".
    Compare "I eat Tom" with "I eat, Tom".

  22. Re:Unbelievable. on Privatunes Anonymizes iTunes Plus · · Score: 1

    I, on the other hand, am pissed off because when I hear that I'm getting non-DRM music, I expect it to be consumer-friendly, but INSTEAD, they still use the "prove your innocence" approach, because God forbid spreading music brought from iTunes into P2P networks, like it's the only source of music for P2P networks anyway!

  23. Re:Firefox and TFA? on Walt Mossberg Reviews the iPhone · · Score: 1

    Nope. Flash, perhaps?

  24. Huh on BBC Chooses Microsoft DRM Platform · · Score: 1

    Why would a government-owned media company need DRM?

  25. Pointless on ESRB Now Enforcing Game Trailer Ratings · · Score: 1

    Why would the publisher care if a trailer was rated [as AO]? The whole reason behind ESRB being practically mandatory on games is because major retailers (e.g. Wal-Mart) don't sell games unless they have been rated by the ESRB.
