  1. Re:Art is not redistributable. on Google Gets Quake II Running In HTML5 · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure why they couldn't use the demo resources.

  2. The market works fine the problem is the content on Android's "Flea Market" Needs Urgent Attention · · Score: 1

    I personally find it pretty easy to find stuff thanks to the search and being able to sort by ratings or inclusion date.

    Where is fails is the fact there is *so* much shit to sifting through if you want to browse to discover something new and not looking for something specific especially in the games category.

    I don't want to see Apple-like super control over the content but fuck me, do we really need a zillion nude girls card games and other shitty variations on the same awful content? It's not like any of them offer something over the other that can make a case for all of them being there. They are all usually from the same company just spamming the market place with same rubbish.

    Maybe the option is to allow people to block apps from every showing up in any sort of search on an app by app basis and stop companies from uploading the same exact app to get around this?

    Freedom seems to work well on PCs but why do phones get lumped with so many shitty apps even when companies show some sort of control?

  3. Re:Link to the full photo set - on 365 Days of Photojournalism With Stormtroopers · · Score: 1

    I think the whole set is awesome. I'm on the look out now for a way to grab all the originals. I'd consider writing something myself but a couple hours with whisky makes my attention span for coding go right out the door!

  4. Re:retro on XKCD Deploys Command Line Interface · · Score: 1

    Next thing they'll want to eat your children!

  5. Re:retro on XKCD Deploys Command Line Interface · · Score: 3, Funny

    yeah well there is life fucking ruined for all of us.

  6. Re:Potty brain... on XKCD Deploys Command Line Interface · · Score: 1

    try go down

  7. April fools is getting old on Postgres Project To Go NoSQL · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Come on April 2nd.

  8. Re:What's going on? on Garage Startup Develops "Personal Computer" · · Score: 1

    You take stories seriously any other day?

  9. Re:Silverlight? on Adobe Flash Now Officially a Part of Google Chrome · · Score: 1

    But it requires selling your soul to Ballmer so no thanks.

  10. Re:They Suck on New Litigation Targets 20,000 BitTorrent-Using Downloaders · · Score: 1

    Is there such a thing as a good lawyer?

  11. Why hasn't it been sold? on Sex.com is Going Down · · Score: 1

    I can't believe it's so valuable and he rather just lose it and everything else he owns rather than sell it.

  12. Re:Is anyone surprised? on Journalists' Yahoo E-Mail Accounts Compromised In China · · Score: 1

    Most people don't care. They love the cheap shit China produces.

  13. This sucks on Solaris No Longer Free As In Beer · · Score: 1

    I've not been impressed with some of Oracle's moves. I'd actually have been happy if they fucked with MySQL. I'd like to see Postgres over take MySQL and oracle could have helped but instead they seem keen to shit on everything else. It will be interesting to see what they do with Java.

  14. Re:I've got the cure on Gonorrhea As the Next Superbug · · Score: 1

    Normal ladies don't let you snort coke out of their ass crack. How am I supposed to maintain an erection without my favourite hobby?

  15. Sucks on Slashdot Discussions Now Include Roulette Video Chat · · Score: 1

    Whether it is a joke or not, having multiple windows with Slashdot in them now makes Firefox crawl and randomly crash. Thanks!

  16. Re:April fools on Office Guardian Angel Worse Than Clippy · · Score: 1

    There isn't a reason for most people to pay out the money for Office. Open Office will do fine for the vast majority of people. They should realise this and save some money.

  17. Re:Not Correct on Microsoft Claims Google Chrome Steals Your Privacy · · Score: 1

    MS is going to out do Chrome by adding precise controls to allow users to decide which malware IE runs. When will Chrome offer the user such freedom and control?

  18. It is publicly available on Facebook Kills Dataset of Crawled Public Profiles · · Score: 1

    I fail to see how he did anything wrong. If FB doesn't like it then they can change how their site works.

  19. Re:There. Fixed that for you. on Lawmakers Ask For FTC Investigation of Google Buzz · · Score: 1

    They made the babies which should be enough. You can't expect them to watch these little beings all day. How are parents supposed to have fun?

  20. Re:Watching Slashdot try to do humor on Google Announces New Google Wave "Wave" Notification · · Score: 1

    You mean completely awesome?

  21. Re:Those silly French on France Bans Use of 2.0 · · Score: 1

    They don't need it. All they do is smoke cigarettes, eat cheese and have loads of sex. Where's the motivation to run a business?

  22. ID is a guilt pleasure on Will Smith In For Independence Day 2 & 3 · · Score: 1

    I did watch ID at the theatre and I do own it on DVD so I've watched it once or twice over the years. It's acceptable enough to watch once in a blue moon but one sequel, let alone two, would be fucking awful.Especially since Will Smith continually gets worse, imo. I hope this is a joke.

  23. To be fair... on Blizzard Announces New Battle.net Matchmaking · · Score: 1

    Fake or not, it would be better than making those people try through normal means and cause a scene in bar and clubs. I'll hold out for a clown fetish service before I shop for ladies online.

  24. Re:To quote the great Bob Saget on Fatty Foods May Cause Cocaine-Like Addiction · · Score: 1

    Plenty of fat women and Bruce Vilanch have.

  25. Re:Asshole on Raleigh Councilman Offers Child Naming Rights To Google · · Score: 1

    If I were his kids I'd pray to every god that he calls me Sergey or Larry rather than Bonner Gaylord Jr.
