  1. Re:Just more whack-a-mole on Storm Worm Botnet "Cracked Wide Open" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It'll be more bothersome, but if DNSes won't be available, they'll just say click here for free viagra!

    What makes you think people buying stuff from spam will notice if it's a domain name, or IP address?

  2. Re:how come it's not final?? on New Final Fantasy XIII Details, Website Launched · · Score: 1

    Because the first game was to be the last game before the company went bankrupt or sth. And surprisingly, the game gathered so much interest that the company went on creating other games.

    That's supposed to represent the goatse guy.

    I noticed that I always get mod points the first thing after I get back from holidays.

  5. Re:AKA on EA Is Now Officially On Steam, Spore Loses SecuROM · · Score: 1

    This, and the fact that I used a GFW offline accound for a few hours, and after I though "hey, let's play online" I had to register another account, this time live, and the saved games are not compatible. Great move Microsoft, great move.

    And don't even get me started with the bloody game only accepting xbox game controllers.

    Someone actually made a game out of this idea already.

  8. Re:Sure, why not? on BitTorrent For Enterprise File Distribution? · · Score: 1

    It's not a problem any more since nowadays almost no ISP provides free USENET access.

    I can't quite understand why this post is modded funny.

    Karma's a bitch, eh?

  11. Re:Sure, why not? on BitTorrent For Enterprise File Distribution? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Don't forget about USENET. It's way more convenient than waiting days because the seeders to leechers ratio is 1:30.

    D'oh!

  13. Re:Let me help on An Optimized GUI Based On Users' Abilities · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's because if you don't have a keyboard, your PC is kind of useless. (not counting headless systems operated by SSL)

    This error message is there to show that you can continue as soon as you plug a (USB) keyboard in. That's why it wants you to press a key, so it know that you now have a keyboard.

    It really should be rewriten as "Keyboard not found. Plug one in and press F1 to continue.".

  14. Re:PC gaming just needs to change on PC Grand Theft Auto IV Features SecuROM DRM · · Score: 1

    (oh, and by the way - GTA4 is shit. That and Devil May Cry 4 are the worst games I played this year. You'll not care for either.)

    Thanks. That means if I love the new DMC4 I'll also enjoy GTA4.

    Have you tried using a decent gamepad for DMC4? Using the keyboard for it is like playing RTSes with only your keyboard.

    For the love of puppies. Learn to spell "bestiality". Half the population can't spell it right :/

    Articles are a subgroup of determiners.

  19. Re:Damn you, slashdot. on Interest Still High In the Netflix Algorithm Competition · · Score: 1

    I understand this principle, but I'm asking why is a preposition more important than a determiner?

  20. Damn you, slashdot. on Interest Still High In the Netflix Algorithm Competition · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I opened up the RSS in tabs, saw "Incest Still High In t..." and couldn't resist immediately clicking.

    And a short things that bugs me. Why does the "In" start with a capital letter, but "the" doesn't?

    Water? You mean, like, from the toilet?

  22. Re:Can we finally... on India's Chandrayaan Lands Impact Probe On the Moon · · Score: 1

    And how exactly would you be able to tell if they photographed some untouched lunar surface and said the landing was a fake?

  23. Re:Oh Noes on Mars Rover "Spirit" In Danger · · Score: 1

    You might have a neat idea there.
    How about if they equip the panels with fans? That'd probably create a few other problems, but creating a small dust-cleaning whirlwind could be pretty useful.

  24. Re:Memory RNA on The Gene Is Having an Identity Crisis · · Score: 2, Informative

    One experiment that was purported to show a chemical basis for memory involved training planaria to solve an extremely simple "maze", then grinding them up and feeding them to untrained planaria to see if they would be able to learn more quickly.

    This reminds me of VG Cats.
    So wrong..
