  1. Last Story Please? on The Nuking of Duke Nukem · · Score: 1

    You all have rose coloured glasses on. The Duke Nuke'em games are even more dated than Donkey Kong. I'm hoping this is the last time this "vaporware" title is brought up again... So not relevant and not even funny as an inside joke.

  2. Call A Lawyer on How To Handle Corporate Blackmail? · · Score: 1

    Slashdot is *not* a lawyer. PS I would call their bluff, then sue the hell out of them for a frivilously bad reference. PPS I am *not* a lawyer.

  3. Also... on Young Employees Pose Increasing Risk to Networks · · Score: 4, Funny

    They are more likely to play on your lawn. Make sure you yell at them from your front window. Damn kids.

  4. Of Party Lines, SWATing and Other Childish Things on Teen Phone Phreak Targeted by the FBI · · Score: 1

    50% of this so called "phreaking" sounds like childish playground antics and textbook bullying straight from middle school. The other 50% are con jobs and social engineering. I don't see any great hacks there.

    Crimes where the criminal gains somethig I can sort of understand. This whole misplaced teenage angst and messing with the system because I can get back at some associates is just so pathetic.

    I'm not just talking about the 14 year old blind kid. Doesn't take a rocket-psychologist to figuire out what he's mad about, but the other punks ont he "party lines"?

    Grow up. Get a real job. Move out of Moms basement. Oh and 1982 called, they want your "Phreak Club" back.

  5. Incredible on Brain Control Headset for Gamers · · Score: 4, Funny

    Soon all effort will be removed from gaming what-so-ever. Think of all the precious calories we can save playing World of Warcraft with our minds! Wonder if the twitch reaction timing will mean I can finally beat a Warlock 1v1.

  6. No life is truly wasted... on The Wasted Life of an Anteater Expert · · Score: 1

    Without at least 100 days of /played time in World of Warcraft.

  7. The Future of SPAM? on How Spam Was Done 70 Years Ago · · Score: 5, Funny

    As per Futurama - In the future, SPAM will be broadcast directly into our dreams. "That's awful!" says Fry. "It's like brainwashing." "Didn't you have ads in the 20th century?" asks Leela. "Not in our dreams!" replies Fry. "Only on TV and radio. And in magazines. And movies. And at ballgames. And on buses. And milk cartons. And t-shirts. And bananas. And written on the sky. But not in dreams! No sirree!"

  8. Trip to china on Disney Takes Another Stab at the House of the Future · · Score: 4, Funny

    Visitors will experience the look of tomorrow by watching Disney actors playing a family of four preparing for a trip to China to welcome their new Chinese overlords. Fixt.

  9. Re:No summer reruns? on Writers Strike Officially Over · · Score: 2, Informative

    You may see a few new episodes in the Spring, but the writers won't be able to churn out scripts over night. Not under the *new* collective agreement, anyhoo. From what I understand new episodes are written over the summer, so I would imagine you'll have reruns (for the most part) until next fall.

  10. Crisis Averted! on Writers Strike Officially Over · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Future generations will look back at this strike as "the year we almost lost Hollywood and no one really gave a crap."

  11. Re:Nice of Them on Harvard Faculty Adopts Open-Access Requirement · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hmm I could have sworn their mission was to make sure their yearly endowments topped the GDP of Luxembourg. You mean Harvard doesn't run themselves as a business first? I stand corrected :)

  12. Nice of Them on Harvard Faculty Adopts Open-Access Requirement · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Considering Harvard University's staggering $34 billion stockpile...

  13. Space Smells? on Outer Space has a Smell · · Score: 1

    I blame Astro. .

  14. Government Falling on US Group Calls Canada a Top Copyright Violator · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I can assure you that the Canadian government won't "topple" over lobbyist pressures from South of the border. We Canadians have been tactfully handling Yankee special interest groups for years and years. If the Canadian government does fall it will be only because the Liberal minority believes they can win an election. A non-confidence vote triggers an election and the conservative government won't table a confidence vote they can lose unless *they* believe they can win an election. It's a bit of a catch-22, and ensures that no controversial and divisive legislation is tabled. Both sides are afraid of an election and this encourages bipartisan solutions. We'll reform our copyright law, but we won't do so because of US pressures, everyone acknowledges that the system needs work, but in this political climate, things like our involvement in Afghanistan, the environment, health care, you know the REAL issues, are the ones that get precedence. Sorry RIAA!

  15. Speed Cabling on Speedcabling - Untangling For Fun and Profit · · Score: 1

    Stick to chess, four-eyes.

  16. HD 189733b? on First Organic Molecules Found on Alien World · · Score: 1

    Congratulations for finally emerging from beneath the shadow of that glory hogging planet HD 189733a!!

  17. Re:My faith... on Muslim Groups Attempt to Censor Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    I only wish that more moderate Muslims would stand up and mobilize against the radical wings that are giving their religion such a bad name. I suppose I can understand the radical viewpoint, as they've been manipulated by power hungry warlords, living in poor conditions with little hope of attaining a reasonable standard of life. What I don't understand is why the moderate Muslim groups living in North America and Europe aren't more vocal in opposition. Instead, what I hear is either passive acceptance or downright approval. I'm not asking one moderate Muslim to change the world, but since there are 1 billion + Muslims world wide, and supposedly only a small minority are radical in their viewpoints, why don't the other 750 Million Plus speak out about it or try to be agents of change for the positive?
