  1. Re:Possibility of life..... on Are Aliens Living Among Us? · · Score: 1


    ONE suspicious signal that never repeated. Well if you consider that good reason for belief I'm not so sure why so many of you have trouble believing in God

    Perhaps because that one suspicious signal is still one more than any supposed God has ever given us?

  2. Re:I always go with OpenBSD. on The Fine Line Between Security and Usability · · Score: 1


    I've always been a fan of Windowmaker which plays nicely on OpenBSD. It's quite lightweight, customizable and doesn't interfere with what I want to do.

  3. Re:"a character like Oscar" on Sesame Street DVD Deemed Adult-Only Entertainment · · Score: 1


    Any child psychologists in the house?

    I'm sure there are but they probably just lurk and view slashdot as a large sample of the population...

  4. Re:Madness on Sesame Street DVD Deemed Adult-Only Entertainment · · Score: 5, Funny


    I'll be 42 in December. After having my mind polluted by Sesame Street as a youngster I started to gobble down cookies, hid in garbage cans and dreamt of living with a male life-partner when older.

    Sadly, my life went to shit and I'm none of those things. I don't like cookies, dislike taking out the trash and live with a WOMAN and our child. Ick!

  5. Re:Orders to Show Cause are routine on Judge Orders RIAA to Show Cause in DC Case · · Score: 3, Funny


    The problem is that NewYorkCountryLawyer (Ray Beckerman) is a publicity whore. This story is just more of his anti-IP FUD that will, in the end, mean nothing.

    I didn't know Gene Simmons read slashdot.

  6. Re:Nothing new here on Gene Simmons Blames College Kids For Music Industry Woes · · Score: 1

    Ha. thanks for the good laugh :)

  7. Re:Nothing new here on Gene Simmons Blames College Kids For Music Industry Woes · · Score: 1


    The future is a la carte.

    Oddly enough, that was also the past. I'm nearly 42 and remember very well music stores with racks full of 45 RPM records with just one song per side.

    It was only when the music industry realized they could milk more money out of the consumers' wallet by forcing them to buy full LPs of 90% filler that the "buy an album for one good song" system came about. It killed the 45.

  8. Re:Fine and sue all nite on Gene Simmons Blames College Kids For Music Industry Woes · · Score: 1


    /me finds 14 year old girl to scream until she cries and tear her shirt off

    I usually leave them dead in a ditch by this point.

  9. Re:S.E.T.I on Is SETI Worth It? · · Score: 1


    And aliens would have the same psychology as we do?

    More importantly, will they believe in Jesus?!

    If ET ever comes here I hope their first contact isn't with primitive thinking kooks.

  10. Re:So the big question is... on 38% of Downloaders Paid For Radiohead Album · · Score: 5, Funny


    did they make more or less profit than what they would have made with the standard sales method?

    Standard sales method:(per $)
    $.53 to record company
    $.27 to record execs' Mercedes fund
    $.18 to record execs' cigar fund
    $.02 to Radiohead.

    New distribution method:(per $)
    $.01 to bandwidth costs
    $.99 to Radiohead

    meah I made that all up.

  11. Re:Yes, I am going to hell on What's New in OpenBSD 4.2? · · Score: 1

    Hahaha, purely fucking tasteless joke but I laughed out loud. :)

  12. Re:I need to try BSD on What's New in OpenBSD 4.2? · · Score: 1

    Bahaha! Damn my mod points expired. Good one!

  13. Re:It's about time! on Complete Set List for Guitar Hero III · · Score: 1

    Ace of Spades is on a previous Guitar Hero. You can find videos on YouTube of people playing it.

  14. Re:Nothing for you to see here. Please move along. on Slashdot's Setup, Part 2- Software · · Score: 1

    I'll second (or third or fourth) that.

    I see it very often immediately after a story goes leaves the ~mysterious future~ and hits the present.

  15. Re:It's about time! on Complete Set List for Guitar Hero III · · Score: 1


    We got some Fucking SLAYER!!!!!

    Agreed, but you know deep down that Jack Thompson will be raising a stink about kids playing "satanic" music or some other superstitious nonsense.

  16. Re:I just tried one. on ICANN Investigates Insider Domain Name Snatching · · Score: 1

    (the idea being bad registrars auto-register it and ICANN gets mad) Forgot to preview

  17. I just tried one. on ICANN Investigates Insider Domain Name Snatching · · Score: 0, Offtopic


    No match for "ICANNARETHIEVINGCUNTS.COM".

    Let's see what happens.

  18. Re:bandwidth usage and cost? on Slashdot's Setup, Part 1- Hardware · · Score: 1


    We do that for a point to point that is 12 miles and pay $1500.00 a month.

    We pay CA$100 a month for a few kilometer run at a city on the east coast in .ca. The transceivers were something like $900 each but that's a one-time hit.

  19. Re:Write-only database? on Slashdot's Setup, Part 1- Hardware · · Score: 1


    As you make a simple request for you "foe list", it's not a question that needs to go to the master server

    My foe list has its own dedicated Cray XT4 for processing.

  20. It's OK on BioShock Review · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I have it on the 360. Not a bad game but they should really have called it "System Shock 3: Underwater Metropolis". There's a terrible sense of "been there, done that" with this game. Yeah, it's a successor to SS2 but there's no shortage of ammo, things are easy to hack, it's not creepy like SS2 was... In short, I'll be replaying SS2 before replaying Bioshock.

  21. Re:Which version? on AO-Rated Manhunt 2 Leaked To Warez Sites · · Score: 1


    It's the PS2 version. I'm hoping that the binaries themselves haven't been changed so the PC users among us will get a chance to shuffle the AO PS2 level/map files to the PC for the game the way it was intended.

  22. Biggest myths of all have been around for ages. on Why Myths Persist · · Score: 1, Insightful


    Religion persists against all common sense.

  23. Re:Yawn, more deluded crap from de Twat on Theo de Raadt Responds to Linux Licensing Issues · · Score: 1


    Hrmm... he must have three users because I've never rimmed his asshole.

  24. Games are scarier on Videogames Make Better Horror Than Movies? · · Score: 2, Interesting


    The screeches of the monkeys in System Shock 2 always freak me out, no matter how many times I play it. (playing BioShock right now and it's nowhere near as scary as SS2 IMHO)

    Or the sounds Haunts make in the Thief series.. eek.

  25. Re:Is YouTube really an appropriate platform? on Putting Anti-Evolution Candidates On the Spot · · Score: 1


    The fact is that almost every event mentioned in the Bible has been historically verified.

    Oh, sure, the bible might hit some basic human history right. I was referring to the supernatural voodoo. There's no evidence of planetary flooding, rising from death and the rest of the mythology.

    Also, unless I'm blind, I can't see any reference to actual peer reviewed scientific journals in the Wiki.
