  1. Re:That old question on Inside Intel's Core i7 Processor, Nehalem · · Score: 2, Informative

    What fish-phillandering flounder modded this troll? Grow a sense of humour you silly chit!

  2. Slashdotted on Inside Intel's Core i7 Processor, Nehalem · · Score: 5, Informative

    The article seems to be down, here's Anandtech's analysis.

  3. Re:I have a novel idea... on Jerry Seinfeld Will Plug Vista · · Score: 1

    You may now dismiss my opinion because I'm ignorant/incompetent/doin it rong. Thank you.

    You must be new here. This is Slashdot! If you want to be flamed by Vista fanboys, go to SH/SC on the Something Awful forums.

  4. Re:3D? That sucks! on Dreamworks and Carmack Discuss 3D and Threading At IDF · · Score: 1

    they're talking about 3 space dimensions

    Ahem! The word is 'Spatial'.

  5. Re:No Skype? on FEMA Phones Hacked, Calls Made To Mideast and Asia · · Score: 1

    FEMA has access to your Infolink anyway. Remember, Walton Simons is still heading it and he's got newer firmware than you, Denton!

  6. Re:Right... on Solar Cells — Made In a Pizza Oven · · Score: 1

    Yeah... Now karma is measured in amps.

  7. Re:Sharing passwords on 42% of Web Users Sneak Onto Others' Online Accounts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Then many people have 'bigger problems'.

    Your reputation is dependent on every medium you communicate through. Lots of people have real-life relationships with friends and family mirrored on social networking sites. If someone gets your password and makes fake posts about you coming out as a paedophile, your reputation will be harmed.

  8. Re:What I like on Wall-E Lookalike Wins British War Robot Showdown · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Know what's even cheaper? Not going to war. Maybe governments should try that instead.

  9. Re:If they are fusing disciplines... on Bridging the Gap Between Art and Code In Games · · Score: 3, Funny

    I suggest fusing their feet with a block of cement.

  10. Re:Minimum Age on Hacker Uncovers Chinese Olympic Fraud · · Score: 1

    He wouldn't deserve a thing. The events are defined by sets of rules, and staying within those rules is a necessary part of an event. Without doing so someone cannot legitimately say that have won anything, as they haven't participated in the event at all. Their result is irrelevant.

  11. Re:Spot the syntax error in the above on Why Corporates Hate Perl · · Score: 1

    I know... I forgot to post in plaintext mode, so the less-than sign got removed as HTML. I forgot the semicolon at the end of the statement too. :( Fail.

  12. Re:Looping behaviour on Magpies Are Self-Aware · · Score: 3, Informative

    Thanks for the assist. With a little googling I found its genus, the Sphex or 'Digger Wasp'.

  14. Re:Catapult? on States Throw Out Electronic Voting Machines · · Score: 1

    Damn, caught! Believe it or not, that was the first thing that came to mind. What didn't come to mind was how to spell it, so instead I used the closest equivalent I knew.

  15. Re:A true libertarian... on FTC Bans Prerecorded Telemarketing Drivel · · Score: 1

    Yes, definitely only the true libertarians.

  16. Re:One MAJOR item missing from do not call lists on FTC Bans Prerecorded Telemarketing Drivel · · Score: 1

    Phone companies need to learn from instant messaging software. Make a 'Block Last Caller' button!

  17. Re:REMOVABLE/CHANGEABLE batteries needed on Japan Demands Probe of iPod Nano Flameouts · · Score: 1

    And the only reason I can imagine why any manufacturer would choose to make a battery non-removable is to prevent an industry of [unapproved] replacement battery makers.

    Or because it limits you to buying an entirely new device when the battery wears out; oh look, a new version has just been released!

  18. Re:my dog... on Magpies Are Self-Aware · · Score: 1

    Yeah, they can't see colour like we can. They also have bad visual accuity, but pretty good night-vision.

    Mantis shrimps have the coolest visual system I've heard about; check it out. Human visual spectrum plus infrared, ultraviolet and polarisation perception.

  19. Re:I knew magpies are quite "smart" on Magpies Are Self-Aware · · Score: 1

    I'd be embarrassed too if I were a member of the most dominant single species on the planet, but still got beaten up by something with one percent of my size, strength and intelligence in the middle of my own territory surrounded by others of my kind...

  20. Looping behaviour on Magpies Are Self-Aware · · Score: 1

    Does anyone remember an experiment where the researchers caused some creature to get stuck in an infinite loop only by changing their environment?

  21. Refund on States Throw Out Electronic Voting Machines · · Score: 5, Funny

    Get a refund. Alternatively, use them as catapult ammunition and return them manually.

  22. Re:GeForce 6800 GT on New Multi-GPU Technology With No Strings Attached · · Score: 1

    It seems pretty ridiculous to characterise anyone who wants to play a new game at a playable framerate as a 'hardcore gamer'. Mass Effect, Bioshock, Supreme Commander, Rainbow Six Vegas and so on are all good games for both casual or more frequent players, but would be completely unplayable on that hardware. Anyone wanting to play those games would probably feel that way.

  23. Re:Time to make them imcompatible! on New Multi-GPU Technology With No Strings Attached · · Score: 1

    You can already pair up unmatched AMD cards as long as they both have crossfire capability. I can't recall the exact details offhand, but I remember reading benchmarks of it on Anandtech some time ago.

  24. Re:AMD and NVIDIA?? on New Multi-GPU Technology With No Strings Attached · · Score: 2, Funny

    Shit, it's last year already?

  25. Re:Old fashioned way on Open-Source College Textbooks Gaining Mindshare · · Score: 1

    Maybe this could allow higher wages to the teachers and more activities for the students to partake in.

    Call me cynical, but it seems vastly more likely that they'd just have their budget cut such that everything stayed the same, but cost less.
