  1. Re:What's really wrong with the concept... on First-Person Shooter Modified For Fire Drill Simulation · · Score: 1

    Hardcore mode would solve your damage problems.

  2. Re:Improving security by lowering defenses on Obama's Proposed Space Weapon Ban · · Score: 1

    ...china virtually owns America, you cant even hit china with trade sanctions.

    While its true that pretty much everything we have comes from China, that doesn't exactly give them the upper hand. What U.S. and China have right now is kind of like mutually assured destruction in and economic sense..

  3. Re:Not a big deal on South Carolina Seeking To Outlaw Profanity · · Score: 1

    It's "news" because a bunch of people here will get all riled up and post about how "fucking outrageous" this bill is.
    Then ???

    A bunch of servers can serve as electric heat.

  5. Re:Whilst on Reaction Engines To Fly Reusable Spaceplane · · Score: 1

    Absolutely not. As everyone on Slashdot knows, your engineering prowess is directly proportional to the correct usage of the English language.

  7. Re:Mixed feelings here... on Overzealous AirTran Boots 9 Passengers Off · · Score: 1
    What did they say that was so "stupid"?
    And what the TSA spokesman, said really pissed me off:

    "If the pilot is uncomfortable with someone flying on their plane, that's their decision,"

    What if a pilot was uncomfortable with black people flying on their plane? Or latinos? Or <insert your discriminated minority group here>

  8. Hell of a deal on NASA Outsources ISS Resupply To SpaceX, Orbital · · Score: 4, Informative

    $1.6 billion for 12 flights of SpaceX's planned Dragon spacecraft and their Falcon 9 boosters. $1.9 billion

    Compared to the shuttle, it's a pretty damn good deal.

  9. Re:BULLSHIT. on An In-Depth Look At Game Piracy · · Score: 1

    Along with ALL your games?

  10. Re:AKA on EA Is Now Officially On Steam, Spore Loses SecuROM · · Score: 1

    It's not like you can do that easily with a boxed modern PC game anyways.

  11. In the long run on Baby To Be Born Without the Gene For Breast Cancer · · Score: 1

    Either way, the desirable trait of not having the breast Cancer gene will be passed on to the next generation, which might include girls. If not that one, then the next, and so on...

  12. Re:Easier solution on Dubai Is Building a Refrigerated Beach · · Score: 2, Informative

    But that's why these guys keep building cool stuff like this all the time. If it isn't the location, they'll MAKE IT be the location. Remember, before Disney World, south Orlando was literally a swamp.

  13. Re:Spycraft: The Great Game on Torture in Games · · Score: 1

    Speaking of live actors berating you: At the last mission of the GDI campaign on C&C 3, you can chose to use a Tiberium bomb to finish the mission, or just complete it using conventional means (whatever that means on the C&C universe). If you do use the Tiberum bomb, Gen. Granger (Played by Michael Ironside) scolds you for annihilating NOD along with your troops and civilians. Needless to say, I will never cross Michael Ironside again.

  14. Re:911, but not Mom? on Wireless Invention Jams Teen Drivers' Cell Calls · · Score: 1

    They go after teens because teens have no rights or lobbies.

    They'll grow out of that problem eventually.

  16. I don't want to be off topic but... on Adobe Releases C/C++ To Flash Compiler · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why is it that whenever someone says "I don't want to be off topic" something copletely off topic follows?

    Anyway, compiling C/C++ into the Actionscript VM might start (or reinvigorate) a trend of broader programing language support for VM's. The specific platform that came to mind was Android. One of the main complaints I've been hearing is that developers are contained by Android's own (some say retarded) implementation of Java. I think it would be awesome to see something like a C/C++ compiler for other VM platforms, making it easier for developers to port their applications to a wider range of devices.

  23. can't... resist... on Hands On With Nvidia's New GTX 280 Card · · Score: 0, Troll

    But does it run Crysis on full? I mean, can it REALLY?

  24. Everybody's doing it. on CIA Details Its Wikipedia-Like Tools For Analysts · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The article makes it seem like Intellipedia is a CIA only thing. It's actually under the umbrella of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. It was designed so that all the intelligence agencies would know what the hell is going on, and coordinate to keep shit like 9/11 from happening.
    Like always, the mother of all wiki's provides plenty of information on the subject. (and even a screenshot!)
