  1. In 1999 in Unreal Tournament this was called Last Man Standing or LMS

  2. "In error" on HTC Keyboard Ads Likely an Error, But Damage is Already Done (androidcentral.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oops, my finger slipped and accidentally all this code to display ads in a rectangular bounding box and get ads from ad servers and a working payment system that allows removing them!

  3. Re:This is a hunk of plastic... on Make Your Own Invisibility Cloak With a 3D Printer · · Score: 4, Funny

    I think it can be integrated in flying cars, to have invisible 3D-printed flying cars.

  4. Meeting this professor on Make Your Own Invisibility Cloak With a 3D Printer · · Score: 1

    I'd love to meet this professor, and be like "what? did I hear something? who is there! I don't see anyone!"

  5. Re:HTML isn't anymore on Stop Standardizing HTML · · Score: 1

    Yes. Javascript is Turing Complete.

  6. Re:HTML isn't anymore on Stop Standardizing HTML · · Score: 4, Interesting

    You ask for a companion programming language and at the same time propose eliminating Javascript. I see a contradiction in there.

  7. I'm not that sure... on Seniors Search For Virtual Immortality · · Score: 1

    Future archeolisits will be able to see the text on stone tablets, but memory chips? All gone.

  8. Linux on Chrome, Firefox, IE 10, Java, Win 8 All Hacked At Pwn2Own · · Score: 1

    For operating system, why do they only try Windows there? I, for one, would love them to try Linux as well, to help find exploits, which I'm pretty sure they'd find just as well.

  9. Re:Damn nanny government on French Officials Say EU Will Sanction Google Over Privacy · · Score: 1

    Do you actually live in the EU?

  10. Dated on Is the Concept of 'Cyberspace' Stupid? · · Score: 1

    I guess this was something that sounded hip and cool back then when the WorldWideWeb was new, but now that we all know what computers and the internet can do, it sounds a bit dated.

  11. Re:Bad title? on What Birds Know About Fractal Geometry · · Score: 1

    Indeed that would be cool, imagine the possibilities of fractal architecture in bird's nests!

  12. Re:Lunar Warming on Twin Probes Crash Into the Moon · · Score: 2

    And what are they gonna say if they crashed on the house of some of the men living on the dark side of the moon?

  13. QBasic sleep on Current Radio Rules Mean Sinclair ZX Spectrum Wouldn't Fly Today · · Score: 2

    I once made a QBasic program named "NOISE.BAS" on a 386 computer.

    When ran, it made the radio which was playing, produce noise for 7 seconds.

    All the program contained was:

    SLEEP 7

  14. Re:Terrible summary on Vector Vengeance: British Claim They Can Kill the Pixel Within Five Years · · Score: 2

    But... but... but...

    With a different title it wouldn't be as sensationalist! >:(

  15. I don't get the point of color screen calculators on In Calculator Arms Race, Casio Fires Back: Color Touchscreen ClassPad · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The thing that defines a calculator useful, imho, is that you don't really need to care about its battery life and it starts up fast.

    If you want something with a color touch screen, can't you just install a calculator app on your phone? What's the difference? Why do you need a specialized device for that?

  16. sub-$100 on The Wii Mini Is Real, Arrives December 7 — In Canada · · Score: 1

    Yes, indeed, $99 is sub-$100...

    Statistically, the expected value of sub-$100 is $50 though!

  17. Re:Even if this was true... on Is Intel Planning To Kill Enthusiast PCs? · · Score: 1

    You know, many games work surprisingly well in Wine. Really really well! No rebooting for me in most cases :)

  18. Turkey with vodka on Ask Slashdot: Geekiest Way To Cook a Turkey? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Take the turkey.
    Pour a bit of the vodka on it.
    Drink a bit of the remaining vodka.
    Prepare to put the turkey in the oven.
    Pour some more vodka on it.
    Sip some more of the remaininng vodka.

  19. Lightspeed on What "Earth-Shaking" Discovery Has Curiosity Made on Mars? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I really hope this isn't going to be like the faster-than-lightspeed-discovery that was an intrument error!

    So feel free to double check the instruments!

  20. Re:Already featured on EU Working On Most Powerful Laser Ever Built · · Score: 1

    You know, for this calibre of laser, it cannot be an ordinary shark...

  21. Points on UW Imposes 20-Tweet Limit On Live Events · · Score: 5, Insightful

    In basketball, usually more points get made than goals get made in football so shouldn't the tweet limit be higher for basketball?

  22. Re:Brick on Building the Ultimate Safe House · · Score: 1

    The "nothing high tech about that" was meant in a good way, referring to the article showing all kinds of what it calls new technologies needed to protect your home.

    But interesting point about the earth quakes. That must be the reason why brick is used so much where I live, because there are almost none here (I hope now there won't suddenly appear one though because obviously we're not prepared for that).

  23. Brick on Building the Ultimate Safe House · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Using brick instead of wood may help some. Nothing high tech about that.

  24. Re:Wow how sad on Has the Mars Rover Sniffed Methane? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Maybe it's because the article title uses the word "Sniffed" rather than, for example, "Detected".

  25. Re:Desktop on 48-Core Chips Could Redefine Mobile Devices · · Score: 1

    The 3930K seems the one exception, but it's Sandy Bridge, and LGA 2011 chipset is borderline consumer! For Ivy Bridge, the newer architecture, it only goes up to 4 cores. And for the next architecture, Haswell, not even released yet, Wikipedia has the following feature to say: "Mainstream up to quad-core.".

    I'm curious why Intel went from 1 core to 4 cores in a short period of time, and then remains stuck at 4 cores for more than half a decade.
