  1. the million dollar (or download) question on Star Wars Sith Trailer and the O.C. · · Score: 1

    will the trailer be included in the torrent of this episode?

  2. this is really like Wesley Willis on Daily Grind Webcomic Challenge · · Score: 0, Redundant

    an experiment of quality vs quantity

  3. to get unique ringtones without any money on Short History of Cellphone Ringtones · · Score: 1

    just use one of the free standard ones that comes with the cell phone. Chances are, with other people using bought ringtones, yours will always stand out.

  4. suspect statement on The 2005 Wired Rave Awards · · Score: 5, Interesting

    "Until The Incredibles, the conventional wisdom was that animators can't do action," Bird says.

    umm..anime?

  5. 32000 years?! on Microbes Alive After Being Frozen for 32,000 Years · · Score: 1

    take that, David Blaine!

  6. where is the air conditioner? on Top 100 Gadgets of All Time · · Score: 2, Insightful

    seriously. Productivity during the summer months would drop off heavily because no one could get a good nights sleep

  7. someone already beat you to it on Web-Only Album Wins Grammy · · Score: 1

    my singing kills cows at fifty paces

    That's nothing. Scott Stapp has been known to take out an entire dairy farm from 2 miles

  8. More than an uphill battle than you think on LokiTorrent vs. MPAA · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I can't even find recent Simpsons or Arrested Development episodes there! You'd think after suprnova shut down people would be migrating there, but the lack of updated content is the real problem!

  9. skepticism on Ben Browder Joining Stargate SG-1 Cast · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's not that we don't believe she is a fan. We here at /. have a hard time believing that you have a girlfriend.

  10. Re:Desperate to reject childish things, are ye? on Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle Open in Japan · · Score: 1

    yeah, BOOBS!

  11. Books as Holidayt Gifts!? beware... on Geek Books as Holiday Gifts · · Score: 1

    I gave my little brother gift certificate to waldenbooks for christmas last year, even though I knew he wanted a some videogame for his game cube. Now, not only does he think I'm geeky, but he resents me for my lame gift. Don't let this happen to you! Don't slide down to a lowre rung on the social ladder!

  12. it's the new sex ed program on Bad Science Awards · · Score: 1

    Only abstinence is being taught in schools, so people have no idea what to do with condoms, besides smuggle drugs.

  13. Settlers is a great game! on 2004 Board Games Gift Guide · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Very modifiable, hackable, and completey different each time you play. You can make up your own rules, like only moving the robber a certain number of spaces, or using other players' ports. Try mixing the land tiles in with the water for extra randomness.

    And the Cities And Knights expansion for the true hardcore player is a great gift. Of course, the true hardcore player probably already has this. And the Seafarers. Plus the 5-6 player expansions for all 3...

  14. Re:Student films all SUCK... (well mostly) on The Future of Student Films · · Score: 1

    As a side note, a classmate of mine (he was a few semesters ahead of me) spent a minimal $11,000 on his thesis film, shot it on 16mm black and white, optical sound, and it won the Palm d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

    Um, so which film was it?

    2004 - Farneheit 9/11
    2003 - Elephant
    2002 - The Pianist
    2001 - The Son's Room
    2000 - Dancer In The Dark
    1999 - Rosetta
    1998 - Eternity & A Day
    1997 - (tie) Taste Of Cherry and The Eel
    1996 - Secrets & Lies
    1995 - Underground
    1994 - Pulp Fiction
    1993 - (tie) Farewell My Concubine and The Piano
    1992 - The Best Intentions
    1991 - Barton Fink
    1990 - Wild At Heart

    All of these are in color and by relatively known directors.

  15. Re:Could a bunch of indie SF films come out of thi on The Future of Student Films · · Score: 1

    Imagine if a new generation of students trained in digital effects and hungry for exposure meets up with the right young writers...


    This would not be an equal partnership. The writers could get the film done without the special effects.

    THere is a great Sci-Fi movie oult now called Primer. Shot for 7000 on FILM, not dv, it shows what that you don't need special effects at all to make a sci-fi film, just ingenuity and good ideas.

  16. Re:In honor of the 30 year anniversary... on 30 Years of Adventure: A Celebration of D&D · · Score: 1

    Oh I know Magic's true name. I've been playing since late 1994. People pay much more than 250 for some magic cards, but I don't think that even now a beta forcefield will go for 250.

    It's just a piece of cardboard to you, but to fans, its a wanted and valuable item. Like Baseball cards, comic books, old star wars figures, it means a lot to the collectors

  17. Re:In honor of the 30 year anniversary... on 30 Years of Adventure: A Celebration of D&D · · Score: 1

    I wasn't actually trying to emulate a d30 with a d20. I was merely increasing my chances of getting a number of bags of cheez doodles to eat. But I do appreciate your efforts here. I don't do much D&D anymore, since I got hooked on another WoTC product: Magic.

  18. wrong icon in the slashdot story on Open Source Geeks Considered Modern Heroes · · Score: 1

    this clearly falls under the 'funny' topic.

  19. Re:In honor of the 30 year anniversary... on 30 Years of Adventure: A Celebration of D&D · · Score: 1

    normally it's a d20

  20. are you happy? on Ask Wil Wheaton Anything (Part Deux) · · Score: 1

    Are you happy with where you are and what you have achieved in life?

  21. In honor of the 30 year anniversary... on 30 Years of Adventure: A Celebration of D&D · · Score: 4, Funny

    I will roll my d30 and eat that many bags of cheez doodles tonight!

  22. are they going to have a Very Special Episode on Open Source Gets Its Own TV Show · · Score: 3, Funny

    where the Linux source gets its first period?

  23. Re:So does this mean that on Disney to Make Toy Story 3 Without Pixar · · Score: 1

    there will be hidden words and suggestions about sex in the movie?

    just look at the title. Maybe a Sybian voiced by Kathleen Turner will make an appearence

  24. so this guy may be the only one in the world on The Music Man · · Score: 1

    Who would actually want to download a Creed song. Amazing!

  25. I think something along the lines of Bad Santa on U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft Resigns · · Score: 2, Funny

    is more appropriate:

    Thank The Fuck Christ!
