  1. I'll buy one on Carmack Says NGP Is a 'Generation Beyond' Smartphones · · Score: 0

    As soon as its unlocked ;)

  2. Re:Highly connected. on Russian Media Link Moscow Bombing With Modern Warfare 2 Scene · · Score: 0

    For the record, in Modern Warfare 2, the terrorists are a group of people who gun down people in the middle of an airport with automatic guns. In real life, this guy blew himself up outside the terminal.

    Obviously, very similar.

    Not only that but it's gross that a Russian Journalist would compare any act of terrorism in Russia to the what happened in MW2. The terrorist in MW2 were actually Russians trying to start a war with the U.S.

  3. Re:Whatever gets the space program more funding... on Does the Moon Have Military Value? · · Score: 0

    Nukes? Toxic Weapons? If you controlled the moon why would you need any of those? If you controlled the moon you could rule the world with only one piece of technology... a catapult. You see the moon sits atop a gravity well with the earth at the bottom you could kill everyone on earth just by throwing rocks at them. This is why I'm currently doing research to get myself up there.

  4. Re:You know... on Inception, The Social Network, TS3 Get Oscar Noms · · Score: 0

    Yeah man the last few years have had terrible movie schedules. It looks like 2011 is shaping up to be an improvement and 2012 will blow the last few years out of the water. I really wish movie studios would do something to try and stop the schedule from clumping up like this.

  5. Re:No. on The Matrix Re-Reloaded · · Score: 0

    I for one want to see this. Someone needed to take that position. Anyway it can't ruin the series (much) more than the other two already have.

  6. Re:Blender Foundation tangent on The Fall of Traditional Entertainment Conglomerates · · Score: 0

    Sintel is the new video by the blender foundation and IMHO is sightly better than big bunny buck.

  7. Re:Not so Easy on IRS Nails CPA For Copying Steve Jobs, Google Execs · · Score: 0

    How may I ask are you taking a risk if your given shares. I mean sure you make way more money if your company does well but if you're given shares for free then you just make less if your company does poorly. Hell even if your company goes under if your the CEO you'll probably see it coming at the very least.

  8. Re:sad thing is ... on Laser Incidents With Aircraft On the Rise · · Score: 0

    Perhaps there are but the argument against them is that if a terrorist, crazy person ect. decides to attack an air port or where ever (with a weapon) and law enforcement don't have guns. He'll be able to go on at least a 5 minute killing spree before the SWAT or whoever is qualified to use weaponry gets there to stop him.

  9. Re:sad thing is ... on Laser Incidents With Aircraft On the Rise · · Score: 0

    Ok, fair point I concede to that.

  10. Re:sad thing is ... on Laser Incidents With Aircraft On the Rise · · Score: 0

    Since when are handguns allowed in airports? I mean besides Law Enforcement and Air Marshals. I'm assuming your not so stupid as to argue against them carrying guns.

  11. Re:Month's wages on Ballmer Says 90% of Chinese Users Pirate Software · · Score: 0

    Actually what I meant was if you use Windows you're paying for it by having to use Windows.

  12. Re:Month's wages on Ballmer Says 90% of Chinese Users Pirate Software · · Score: 0

    I'm pretty sure that the 90% metric is wrong, 100% of people who use windows pay for it.

  13. The real question is on Adding an Olfactory Dimension To Games · · Score: 1

    When will they come out with a fart app for it?

  14. Re:Irony... on Facebook Opens Up Home Addresses and Phone Numbers · · Score: 0

    No because it (sort of) marked the beginning of mainstream computer use and computers may ultimately become the tool that take away all our freedoms.

  15. Irony... on Facebook Opens Up Home Addresses and Phone Numbers · · Score: 0

    The apple 1984 commercial is getting more and more ironic every day now.

  16. Re:/. hm on NASA's Next-Generation Airplane Concepts · · Score: 0

    Are you joking this is one of the better stories on /.. It integrates the latest and greatest tech from NASA (nerdy) and new awesome means of transportation (which matters if you travel).

  17. Re:Welcome to 1994... on First Ceiling Light Internet Systems Installed · · Score: 0

    (They may not have added one) But it's pretty easy to add an encryption layer.

  18. Re:They finally figured out... on Playmate Photo From Apollo 12 Up For Auction · · Score: 0

    Yeah too bad the Google Cache of the article doesn't have pictures because the site is down. Seriously though Slashdot needs to start posting the Cache of the article with the article so at least it doesn't go down quite as quickly.

  19. Re:torrent on Atari Loses Copyright Suit Against RapidShare · · Score: 0

    Rapidshare doesn't ban things based upon file names they ban things based on MD5.

  20. Re:No on Will Touch Screens Kill the Keyboard? · · Score: 0

    Add to that addition that they're just plain easier to type on. Ever try to type on an old style type writer?

  21. Re:Not rare at all on Magnetic Pole Shift Affects Tampa Airport · · Score: 0

    Why don't they switch to digital north so they don't have to keep changing all the time?

  22. Penn and Teller... on Famous British Autism Study an 'Elaborate Fraud' · · Score: 1

    ...Made an excellent point on subject in their last episode

  23. Not first on First PlayStation 3 Custom Firmware Created · · Score: 0

    Late last year TeaM-ACiD1C released a proof-of-concept custom firmware. Though admittedly this may be the first useful custom firmware.

  24. Re:My favourite android hack on The 10 Best Android Hacks · · Score: 0

    that one's your favorite? I like the Ubuntu installer finally I can do x264 encodes on my smart-phone.

  25. Re:stuff that matters on Super Mario Bros. 3 Level Design Lessons · · Score: 1

    Yeah seriously Super Mario isn't even all that impressive when it comes to how it "teaches" you the game. It's simple really just run and jump. Not that I don't love SM3 as much as the next /.er but it's simplicity and a lack of need for explanation is just apart of the beauty of its design. If you want an amazing example of a game teaching you how to play it without a tutorial play portal then play it again with developer commentary on it really makes you appreciate how much time and thought was put into it to make it a learn as you play game.
