  1. Re:a sense of purpose? on Information On Philips' "Coffee" Machine? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Mod parent troll. The topic is 'Ask Slashdot', asshat. That's the purpose. It IS a forum discussion.

  2. Re:Settlements are not precedent on Special Master Appointed In Jammie Thomas Case · · Score: 1

    Whooosh!

  3. Really, on New York Times Bans Use of Word "Tweet" · · Score: 1

    This isn't that big a deal.

  4. Re:So correct me if I'm wrong... on Blizzard Boss Says Restrictive DRM Is a Waste of Time · · Score: 1

    You're wrong. Blizzard's BNet2 keeps a profile of games you own, similar in a way to Steam's - once you activate your game, via CD key or whatever else, you own it. After that, what media your copy of the game came from (your own CD, your friend's, or download) ceases to matter. Your Battle.net account is what gets you access to the online game. I imagine that, in order to play only single player, you will simply need an internet connection to confirm the legitimacy of your copy every time you have to reinstall the game. Re-validating once per install isn't a real tax on a gamer's time or emotional stability.

  6. Re:Fair Use? on Former Congressman Learns About Streisand Effect · · Score: 2, Insightful

  8. It was forseen! on Hackers Counter Microsoft COFEE With Some DECAF · · Score: 1

    Slashdot users proved prophets for the nth time over: http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1435688&cid=30021576

  9. Re:Surveying is not the best method on Study Finds Gamers Prefer Control, Competence Over Violence · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Are you saying that people are not good judges of their own happiness indicies?

    Implying that people don't know when they're happy or what makes them happy? I'd call that a safe one, wouldn't you?

  10. Re:How about Jupiter on Steve Fossett's Unfinished Project · · Score: 1

    If the Japanese are going to build their space elevator, we're going to need that diamond core to maximize the elevator's potential. Draw up and open source the plans for the earth-ring and the continental towers, so we can move back to the braincap project.

  11. Re:False positives, misleading true positives on Three ISPs Agree To Block Child Porn · · Score: 1

    Casey, the decoy for many of the recordings, is/was 18 (or so they said). You're no worse than Wild Bill on AirFuck one.

    Classic

  13. Guys, on UK Police Want DNA of 'Potential Offenders' · · Score: 2, Insightful
