  1. Batman: Arkham Asylum on Evolution of the Batmobile · · Score: 1

    Kinda disappointed that in such a detailed graph they forgot to look at the game. I'm sure that there are better screenshots of it, as it was one of the unlockable trophies.

  2. Re:Way too early on Hosting Company Appears To Be Violating the GPL [Resolved] · · Score: 1

    perl -e 'print "World Peace\n";'

    $ echo World Peace

    Some people just make shit too hard.

    Indeed.

  3. The map on Pot Grower's Privacy Challenged · · Score: 1

    So... where is a link to the map?

  4. Re:Marin crosses the line.... on California County Bans SmartMeter Installations · · Score: 1
  5. Re:Look Up on Russian Team Prepares To Penetrate Lake Vostok · · Score: 5, Informative

    Never drink and slashdot.

  6. Re:No surprises on 'SMS of Death' Could Crash Many Mobile Phones · · Score: 1

    Did you try looking at it serious?

  7. Re:Seems unfair to me on Aussie Retailers Lobby For Tax On Online Purchases · · Score: 1

    In Argentina the Tax Free ship import value is of U$S 5. Anything over that has a 50% tax over the total cost. For people traveling, the Tax Free import value is of U$S 300.

  8. Cryptic names for pirated stuff on Atari Loses Copyright Suit Against RapidShare · · Score: 2

    (...) and if you enforce something like this, soon you'll find files called a.rar, a.r01 and so on, and copyright owners won't even find the pirated stuff because people posting pirated content will just type the description, do a print screen and post the picture with the details instead of text. And how is that going to help anyone?

    Some groups have been doing this for some time now, generally using the first letters of the name. For this it might be something along the lines of al.int.d.r01.

  9. Missing the Meteor shower on BBC Astronomer Misses Meteor During Live Show · · Score: 2

    He'll have a fighting chance against Triffids then?

  10. Re:I have a much more ambitious vision on The Continued Censorship of Huckleberry Finn · · Score: 1

    Pain reminds us we are alive.

  11. Re:Innovation on Mac OS X 10.6.6 Introduces App Store · · Score: 1

    That's because no Linux package manager so far had that objective. It's like comparing a Ferrari and a Sail Boat only on how water tight they are.

  12. Re:Photoshop Elements on For Mac Developers, Armageddon Comes Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    Did Photoshop always have those features? It, for example, didn't have multiple undo until '98.

  13. Re:Photoshop Elements on For Mac Developers, Armageddon Comes Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    My mother uses GIMP and Inkscape under Ubuntu :)

  14. Re:Photoshop Elements on For Mac Developers, Armageddon Comes Tomorrow · · Score: 2

    Without massive piracy of Adobe's extremely expensive professional software, Adobe likely wouldn't be as successful as it is. The free copies made the pool of professional users larger, making it a must have in any design shop that does pay.

  15. Re:Fairness on Saudi Arabia Requiring License For Online Media · · Score: 1

    I don't see firemen/roads/hospitals in that equation.

  16. Re:My Apple Macbook experience... on Apple Passes $300B Market Cap, 2nd In the World · · Score: 1

    Isn't it nice when things like that happen? I had the same thing happen to me with my mother's Ubuntu Notebook. :)

  17. Re:ergh on Dell Reveals Specs For the Looking Glass Tablet · · Score: 1

    You can't easily hold an iPod with one hand for any length of time.

    Argh - s/iPod/iPad/

    What's the difference?

  18. Re:Putin and freedom !!?? on Putin Orders Russian Move To GNU/Linux · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and the public outrage about that killed IBM.

  19. Re:As apprehended.... on 4chan Has Been DDOSed · · Score: 1

    Is it illegal for many unrelated people to send you physical mail?

  20. Re:ZOMG THE SKY [isn't] FALLING! on After IPv4, How Will the Internet Function? · · Score: 1

    Right.

    And when should we start worrying then? When it's too late to make an orderly and not as expensive transition?

  21. Re:Good for population control on African Villages Glow With Renewable Energy · · Score: 1

    Indefinitely constant grow is not only counter productive, is impossible. We can start controlling growth now, or growth will stop by itself in a less flattering way for the species later.

  22. Re:maybe we should have some other method of authe on Passwords Are the Weakest Link In Online Security · · Score: 1

    OpenID?

  23. Re:Patent Chess on ITC Investigates Xbox 360 After Motorola Complaint · · Score: 1

    "Bernard of Chartres used to say that we are like dwarfs on the shoulders of giants, so that we can see more than they, and things at a greater distance, not by virtue of any sharpness of sight on our part, or any physical distinction, but because we are carried high and raised up by their giant size." - 1159 A.C.

  24. Re:Parking lots on Electric Cars May Be Made Noisier By Law · · Score: 1

    Exactly, you are used to the noise of the engine. You'll get used to oder cues.

  25. Re:Geeky devices on Google TV Suffers Setback · · Score: 1

    There is no reason for it to not be both.
