  1. Why does everyone always freak out about this? on Xbox 720 Could Require Always-On Connection, Lock Out Used Games · · Score: 0

    Didn't we hear this same thing about PS3 before launch? I think it's all hype to drive blog traffic. While I'm sure the console manufacturers would love to do this, I honestly won't believe it until I see it, confirmed. Until then I don't understand why everyone get's their shorts in a knot...

  2. Censorship tag? Really? on 72% of US Adults Support Violent-Game Ban For Minors · · Score: 0

    This has nothing to do with censorship, that would be if they didn't let the games be made at all, that would be censorship. Enforcement of ratings, while perhaps annoying to minors, is an entirely different topic. To quote a certain Spaniard. "You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.."

  3. Re:It works very well, thank you on Defeating Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle · · Score: 0

    Crap, someone beat me to it...

  4. It works very well, thank you on Defeating Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle · · Score: 0

    I thought they would just use the Heisenberg Compensator...

  5. Re:Validation or desperation? on Lord of the Rings Online To Go Free-To-Play · · Score: 1, Funny

    shucks, well at least I feel good about myself as I googled always ran to make sure there wasn't some phrase I didn't know about :)

  6. Re:Validation or desperation? on Lord of the Rings Online To Go Free-To-Play · · Score: 0

    You mean "also-ran"?

  7. Speaking in tongues eh? on Voyager 2 Speaking In Tongues · · Score: 0

    Well that isn't offensive to anyone (Used to be Pentecostal)... That being said, it's still pretty witty.

  8. Re:Not to sounds like a video snob ... on Netflix Streaming Arrives For the Wii · · Score: 0

    Well, at least in my situation, the Wii is in the living room on the non HD tv my parents have for when we play. So it works out great for us. I say if it can do it, why not. That and I know some people who only have a Wii...

  9. I've always thought it was much simpler. on Why Time Flies By As You Get Older · · Score: 0

    When you are older, you have more stuff you need to do, and more stuff to focus on, and thus, less time for think about time passing. I don't know, maybe's it's just me...

  10. I thought they said this was in the new universe. on Star Trek Online Open Beta Starts Today · · Score: 0, Troll

    I remember them saying it was in the new continuity...

  11. You kill the Joe... on IT Workers To Get Fewer Perks, No Free Coffee · · Score: 2, Funny

    You make some mo'

  12. Re:Ridiculous on Apple Voiding Smokers' Warranties? · · Score: 1

    Working on computers myself for a living, I disagree with this. The people who come in with machines infected with malware are the ones who will say all they do is go on the internet with their machine, and they don't always get how that can get them in trouble. The same with changing the battery on an ipod, you may not think about it until it becomes a necessity. Mind you, I would wager not seeing any way to get the thing open probably does give some indication though...

  13. Re:That's no Blu-Ray disc on Intel Connects PCs To Devices Using Light · · Score: 1

    Touche'

  14. Re:That's no Blu-Ray disc on Intel Connects PCs To Devices Using Light · · Score: 1

    In this case it's OBVIOUS that this was meant as a point of reference. I know what you are saying, but seriously, what is gained by splitting hairs?

  15. Re:Tabs on top, do it NOW! on Firefox 4.0 Goes Chrome, New UI In Q4 2010 · · Score: 1

    Which is why I am all for the either/or option :) While I do acknowledge the issue with window resizing and whatnot, I feel the trade off is worth it.

  16. Tabs on top, do it NOW! on Firefox 4.0 Goes Chrome, New UI In Q4 2010 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    DO IT, I use chrome for the UI, and love FF for the plugins, if they go with the tabs on top and no titlebar, if only as an option, I am back on board with them...

  17. Re:I don't know how else to say it... on DRM Group Set To Phase Out "Analog Hole" · · Score: 1

    Touche

  18. I don't know how else to say it... on DRM Group Set To Phase Out "Analog Hole" · · Score: 1

    If you can see it, you can record it.
    If you can hear it, you can record it.

    It is utterly impossible to "phase out the analog hole".

  19. Reminds me of Pirates of Silicon Valley... on Should Undergraduates Be Taught Fortran? · · Score: 1

    Ballmer:
    So I got these girls in the other room, and they're naked, I mean like gorgeous naked, and I told them you were making a computer language, and they started moaning. Oh computer language, Fortran, ohhhh Fortran. So don't say I never did anything for you.

    Gates:
    Drop dead Ballmer...

  20. WOW, thank you slashdot! on How To See In 3D On Your iPhone · · Score: 1

    I never knew of the technique listed here, and needless to say I am awed, I just spent the last hour and a half looking up stereoscopic images. Thank you for introducing me to this!

  21. Finally, recourse for no US PSX version... on Dragon Quest IV Coming to the DS · · Score: 1

    Now all I have to do is buy a DS! I hope this is the remake, but the original would still be sufficient. I LOVED that game...

  22. Re:Can't wait on Jack Thompson Facing Disbarment Trial · · Score: 1

    Romans 3:23 All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

  23. Disbarment? on Jack Thompson Facing Disbarment Trial · · Score: 1

    Whoa, I thought that said dismemberment when I first read it...
