  1. Re:As a start... on Ask Slashdot: What To Do With Spammers You Know? · · Score: 1

    Sign them up for their own mailing list. See if they can get themselves off it.

  2. Re:Easy Peasy on Bill Would Make Carriers Publish 4G Data Speeds · · Score: 1

    Hopefully it's worded in a way that specifies minimum transfer speed from the service providers servers. Not taking into account service area or other environmental factors. Basically making it a "This is the maximum amount we'll throttle you" Bill. I doubt it though.

  3. Pure BS on Australian-Built Hoverbike Prepares For Takeoff · · Score: 1

    How would he maintain lateral stability in that thing? Flap his arms? Looks like it would roll over as soon as you gun it. There doesn't appear to be any engineering to take that into account. What is this guys hoping this thing will fly on, hopes and prayers?

  4. Re:Zune was failed hardware as compared to XBOX 36 on Will Microsoft Release Its Own Windows 8 Tablet? · · Score: 1

    It’s possible that the 10-15 other people who bought one may have had issues you didn’t

  5. Re:Too bad Canada has 11 month winters on Canadian City Unveils $60k Open-Air Urinal · · Score: 1

    Live in Canada? Maybe. Live in Victoria? Not likely. It only gets below -10C a few days a year in the worst winters.

  6. Re:Wow on Prison Guard Dog Gets Titanium Teeth · · Score: 1

    It's not like they're sharpened to a blade. Titanium or enamel, they're all going to tear your flesh the same.

  7. Re:Right on! on Usage Based Billing In Canada To Be Rescinded · · Score: 2

    So what your suggesting is that the government comes in and stomps all the companies that provide internet to Canadians into the ground? For companies like Shaw, sure why not, but what about all the responsible ISPs? What your talking about is privatizing the internet. That scares me because then you only have the government controlling the price and they will have no competition. "Tax the Internet!"

  8. Re:One additional improvement on Building a Traffic Radar System To Catch Reckless Drivers? · · Score: 1

    Troll!? I was trying to be funny :(

  9. Re:Force them to slow down on Building a Traffic Radar System To Catch Reckless Drivers? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You mean like this one in Dubai? http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=8c40dee8ec

  10. Re:One additional improvement on Building a Traffic Radar System To Catch Reckless Drivers? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I second this. It's been proved time and time again that more guns in the middle east is always the answer.

  11. Forum Rage! on Blizzard To Require Real First and Last Names For Official Forums · · Score: 1

    I quietly await news of the first murder related to "Forum Rage"

  12. Pay for ads on Subscription-Based 'Hulu Plus' Is Now Official · · Score: 1

    Did I read that right? You pay for the privilege of the same ads you get by not paying? Ok... good luck with that.

  13. Re:No problem... except. on Set Free Your Inner Jedi (Or Pyro) · · Score: 1

    You need to be able to see your target.

  14. Amazing game! on Aquaria Goes Open Source · · Score: 2, Informative

    I was completely blow away by this game when I bought it in the package. It's very well done and ends with you wanting more. Hopefully with this release the community can create some new stuff and drum up interest in a sequel. Don't have it? Buy it!

  15. Re:They should post the usernames... on Symantec Finds Server Containing 44 Million Stolen Gaming Credentials · · Score: 1

    How many people do you think would use their username as their password? I bet quite a few.

  16. Old news on Pacific Northwest At Risk For Mega-Earthquake · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I've lived in British Columbia for 28 years and this is old news. They've been measuring the distance and stress on the plates between Vancouver and Vancouver Island for decades. Most of us are well aware that at any time we could get hit with an earthquake of biblical proportions.

  17. Re:What if.. on North Korea Announces Achieving Nuclear Fusion · · Score: 1

    more likely, they'll dump money into an occupation force. Works for the US.

  18. No demos? Won't that INCREASE piracy? on Crytek Thinks Free Game Demos Will Soon Be Extinct · · Score: 1

    If they don't provide a demo, people are just going to pirate the games to see if they're any good. Then I'd say you have a 50-50 chance that someone is actually going to buy a legal copy if it's any good. Sounds like crazy talk to me. Pretty much every game I have for my Xbox 360 I tested as a demo first. Now sure you'll argue that I paid for a gold members for access but most can be played with a silver account.

  19. Re:Huh on The Neo-Geo Song · · Score: 1

    Apology not accepted! You sir, are what is wrong with America and why our precious arcades are disappearing! Nah I'm kidding, your cool.

  20. Re:In Canada... on Best Smartphone Plan Covering US and Canada? · · Score: 1

    You heard wrong like so many Americans these days. We call Canadian Geese... Canadian Geese . We have round bacon and strip bacon. Usually we call them both... bacon. Ya'll liv'n in the south?

  23. Re:Already possible on Blizzard Adds Timestamps To WoW Armory · · Score: 1

    RSS was specifically designed for repeated requests. I doubt Blizzard programmed /who with the same intention.
