  1. Re:That sucks! on Leonard Nimoy Retires From Star Trek · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I thought Urban's McCoy was pretty darned good too.

  2. Minds think alike on The Gamebook Writers Who Nearly Invented the MMO · · Score: 1

    I remember a friend and I sharing Ultima II maps that we had created and talking about how cool it would be if we could connect and play the game at the same time...

    (I know, I know, cool story bro)

  3. Re:Simply put you don't shoot wounded and unarmed on Wikileaks Releases Video of Journalist Killings · · Score: 1

    "but the sneaking behavior looks suspicious for a cameraman."
    Not suspicious for a cameraman who doesn't want to get shot.

  4. Um..no on James Lovelock Suggests Suspending Democracy To Save the World · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm an environmentalist, but I also know that if you put democracy "on hold" it's awfully hard to get it started again.

  5. Re:why has he decided to accept it now? on Battlefield Earth Screenwriter Accepts Razzie · · Score: 4, Funny

    Because it was the Razzie for the worst movie of the decade, you kinda have to wait for the decade to be over before you do that.

  6. Re:Clear Hoax on Commodore 64 Primed For a Comeback In June · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oh christ..did we run in to a rip in the fabric of space/time? We're having a C64/AppleII/Atari 400/800 flamewar?

  7. Biased much? on Obama Administration Withholds FoIA Requests More Often Than Bush's · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Breitbart.com? Really? Has Slashdot become Free Republic?

  8. Re:What? on Texas Approves Conservative Curriculum · · Score: 1

    "ah it does. It teaches you that FDR was the savor that ended the Depression (he did not)" - welcome to conservative-approved revised history. I was waiting for you to stop pretending to be reasonable.

  9. Re:Captain on William Shatner Takes On Social Networking · · Score: 1

    Great game, Hexen too.

  10. Re:Why am I not surprised. on PA School Spied On Students Via School-Issued Laptop Webcams · · Score: 0, Troll

    Please shoot yourself if you think that private education doesn't do the same thing, even home schooling is mostly based on indoctrination.

  11. Stupidity on PA School Spied On Students Via School-Issued Laptop Webcams · · Score: 4, Insightful

    WTF is "improper behavior in the home", and why does the school seem to think that it's their business?

  12. Re:Not surprised... on Apple Bans Jailbreakers From the App Store · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Maybe it was the "cattle" comment. Sounds like a flame to me.

  13. Re:Son of WGA on Anti-Piracy Windows 7 Update Phones Home Quarterly · · Score: 1

    My eMac managed to last through 5 versions. Not too shabby.

  14. Re:frist on Iran Suspends Google's Email Service · · Score: 5, Informative

    Tell me, why single out Islam? *ALL* religions were pulled out of someone's ass at some point. Not just the ones you don't personally like.

  15. How typical.. on SourceForge Clarifies Denial of Site Access · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I don't see a single person who is complaining about this, offering to help fund moving SF.Net elsewhere.

    Not so easy when you have to foot the bill, is it?

  16. oh golly on Obama Appointee Sunstein Favors Infiltrating Online Groups · · Score: 1

    Oh darn, you mean someone is daring to counter the troofers and other nuts with facts? Oh the horror.

  17. Re:So? on VC Defends Farmville, Touts Virtual Tractor Sales · · Score: 1

    "Bullshit I don't. I can still play every game I ever bought on Steam, which is all that matters, and more than I can say for many games I've bought (that came on floppies or CDs that scratched)."

    Not that I dislike Steam, but can you say you can still play those games 10-20 years down the line? When the Steam servers are shut down so are the games. I can still play games that I bought 10, 20, even 30 years ago because they're on physical media.

  18. Re:the sky is falling! on Legislator Wants Cancer Warnings For Cell Phones · · Score: 4, Funny

    Including Ron Paul

  19. Re:Politics on Obama Backs New Launcher and Bigger NASA Budget · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "They are interested in pushing their own agenda." - if you think that somehow Republicans aren't guilty of that as well, you are very, very deluded.

  20. Re:Politics on Obama Backs New Launcher and Bigger NASA Budget · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You mean the 40% that has vowed to oppose anything Democrat? Why should they bother trying to work with people who won't work with them?

  21. Re:That's cool, but... on Virgin Galactic Unveils SpaceShipTwo · · Score: 1

    There was a novel a while back called The Eugenics Wars Vol 1: The Rise and Fall of Kahn Noonien Singh, that explained that the Eugenics Wars were something that primarily went on behind the scenes.

  22. Unintended consequences on Canada Supreme Court Broadens Internet "Luring" Offense · · Score: 1

    So, I'm a fan of a singer that also has many younger fans (teens) and talk to them fairly often on the official forum and on Twitter...this makes me a evil pedophile?

  23. Re:It's ok on Apple Asks Judge To Shutter Psystar's Clone Unit · · Score: 1

    Of course that isn't even true nowadays, most of iTunes music is DRM free.

  24. Re:It's ok on Apple Asks Judge To Shutter Psystar's Clone Unit · · Score: 1

    "but they did it by trying to pushing their own format" - MPEG-4 is *not* Apple's format.

  25. Re:Treason on Man Pleads Guilty To Selling Fake Chips To US Navy · · Score: 1

    Didn't mean to imply that it's not a dangerous business, but the "aid and comfort to the enemy" part would be pretty nebulous to hang a death sentence on.
