  1. Re:Bioshock vs. Halo 3 on Ken Levine On The Background of Bioshock · · Score: 1

    Bioshock looks great, but very different from Halo. In my brain even though they are both FPS they are really too different to compare. That said I have pre-ordered both.

  2. Re:Hitting 3 petaflops takes an 884,736-processor[ on IBM's Blue Gene Runs Continuously At 1 Petaflop · · Score: 1

    Isn't computing about more, faster, better? will there ever be such a thing as too many cpus???

  3. Re:Intensifying Conflict? on The Mechanized Future · · Score: 1

    Who the f*** decided that sentences on the Internet shall no longer be formatted with two spaces after a period?! Dude, it's called HTML - it doesn't ignores two spaces in a row. HTML is about content not formatting.

  4. Re: This trailer? on ESRB Now Enforcing Game Trailer Ratings · · Score: 1

    It isn't that trailer that the issue is with. That is a very old trailer before a ground-up remake of the game. The old version was very tech and clean - the new version is much grittier and violent. The thing that I find odd is that every place I look to see the trailer you need to put in a birthdate to see it. Now any kid who can count could just lie about their birthday but that isn't anything new is it?

  5. Re:Hah. on Intelligent Design Ruled "Not Science" · · Score: 1

    To me the worst thing about those who are strict constructionts (literal types) is that they pick and choose which parts of the Bible to follow or not. My favorite example is the one about kiling anyone who works on the Sabbath - remember that the Old Testament - you know tht part where they talk about creationism - is still part of the Christian Bible and the word of God. When is the lat time a strict constructionist killed their child, parent, spouse, or neighbor for working on the Sabbath? Is it OK not to follow that part of the "Word of God" but other things are inviolte? Also, why can't people understand that the creation story is symbolic? When the Bible states that God created the universe in one day there was not an Earth so why would one day be equivelent to an Earth day?

  6. Re:Intensifying Conflict? on The Mechanized Future · · Score: 1

    There is such a thng as too many sci-fi books and movies? I thought that we predicated our existance on the fact that all of Star Trek's gadgets would be reality in the future.

  7. Re:Well, it may be inaccurate... on CBC News Interprets GPL - Poorly · · Score: 1

    At least they seemed to know what was happening in the Windows/Linux licencing debate even if they oversimplified the GPL.

  8. Re:Bout time we did something about those skies on FAA Plans to Clean Up the Skies · · Score: 3, Funny

    Forget about the ozone - I want more CO2. I mean the plants really love that stuff and I like my plants to be healtthy.

  9. Re:Get more people to move out of the rural areas on US Falls to 24th Place For Broadband Penetration · · Score: 1

    Won't the WiMax revolution help out with our rural penetration? Wasn't that supposed to happen a couple of years ago? So much for that over-hyped technology.

    George W is turning over in his grave. Ohh wait he isn't dead, just brain-dead.

  11. Re:It didn't seem like that big of a deal on Halo 3 Beta Closes Up Shop · · Score: 1

    I'm with you. Bungie stated from the begining that things would change from the demo to the final realease. Hello there were no swords in the demo - does anyone think that they have actually been removed from the game?

  12. Re:Thank god... on Halo 3 Beta Closes Up Shop · · Score: 1

    So are you the savage that teabagged me on Friday? That is just wrong!

    God speaks to you and you are still looking for excitement?

  15. Re:Bleh on The Economist on Apple, the iPhone, and Innovation · · Score: 1

    Isn't all this buzz just what Apple wants? I thought that Slashdot was part of Apple's unofficial marketing team. So we are just doing our part.

  16. Re:With speakers... on Touch Sensitive Paper With Built-In Speakers · · Score: 1

    That paper would get tired trying to tell me all of my spelling mistakes - spellcheck for the pen and pencil set would be pretty cool though.

  17. Re:That's okay on Venter Institute Claims Patent on Synthetic Life · · Score: 1

    I thought that the USSR was gone. Maybe I'm forgeting something so I can remember something more important(http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?s id=07/06/06/2247203).

  22. Re:Cry me a river. on British Record Companies Win £41m In Damages · · Score: 1

    All the record industry groups believe that they are privileged and have rights that no one else has. Look at the RIAA's power to fix the price of music and have no repercussions for it.

  23. Re:RGP vs MMOG on RPG Devs Should Beware MMOGs · · Score: 1

    Yeah but it gets tough going to work after a couple of those nights in a row.

  24. Re:Hold up... technical foul on The Drive For Altruism Is Hardwired · · Score: 1

    Who is this Louis Cipher guy you are talking about and why would he want to bring about ruination? He sounds like an evil guy or something.

  25. RGP vs MMOG on RPG Devs Should Beware MMOGs · · Score: 5, Insightful

    For me the biggest reason to play a single player/ small group games vs. an MMOG is that I can play in smaller bouts. It is a bit of a waste to play an MMOG for 20 minutes, yet it works OK to play 20 minutes at a time in a single player game. Two year olds tend to dictate when you can and can't play.
