  1. Re:Slashdot is NOT helping here... on The Star Wars Kid Is Back · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yeah, shame on him for not wanting to relive his most painful childhood memory every day.

  2. Re:Where do you get "savage punishment"??? on America Versus the UFO Hacker · · Score: 2, Informative

    That doesn't change the fact that the system was vulnerable in the first place. Punish him for entering illegally but don't make him pay for repairs that should've been made anyway.

  3. Re:Where do you get "savage punishment"??? on America Versus the UFO Hacker · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Except the china was already broken. They fixed the vulnerability that was there before he found it, and now they're trying to get him to pay for it.

  4. Re:Where do you get "savage punishment"??? on America Versus the UFO Hacker · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up. The only problem is that the US is trying to get him to pay a fortune for damages, as if he created the vulnerability as opposed to exposing it.

  5. Re:Eve sucks! on EVE Online PVP Tournament Streamed Live · · Score: 2, Informative

    So less than your average South Korean shovelware MMO then.

  6. Re:Heh, on Quantifying, and Dealing With, the Deepwater Spill · · Score: 1

    So you're not using plastic or electricity or public transport?

    Understand, i think BP totally fucked up, but on the other hand, they're supplying for society's demand, and this kind of shit happens in oil drilling all the time. Hopefully this accident will encourage a large-scale effort to stop using this non-renewable and toxic energy source.

  7. Re:Article Quality. on Mysterious Radio Station UVB-76 Goes Offline · · Score: 4, Informative

    You never know, the Russian Woodpecker signal turned out to be a nuclear launch detection radar in Chernobyl.

  8. Re:Google screwed up... on Google Relents, Will Hand Over European Wi-Fi Data · · Score: 1

    Spoiler: they already have your personal data.

  9. Re:Misses the point on HTML5 vs. Flash — the Case For Flash · · Score: 1

    Yes, but just because you can write a raytracer in JavaScript doesn't mean it's a viable alternative to C.

  10. Re:Oh My Hovercraft on New Hungarian Government OMGs All Gov Sites · · Score: 1

    Same as English. It's lame as hell.

  11. Irony on Study Claims Cellphones Implicated In Bee Loss · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Isn't it ironic that you guys campaign all day for science but when a scientific study says your gadgets are harmful you scream bloody murder?

  12. Re:Bully? on Apple Facing New Antitrust Investigation · · Score: 1

    Since they went after Apple.

  13. Correlation on The Fashion Industry As a Model For IP Reform · · Score: 1

    Good talk, but isn't the higher income of low-ip industries precisely because they're utilitarian? You need food, transport, clothes, furniture but you can live without movies and music.

  14. Re:Was Not Impressed at All on Lost Ends · · Score: 1

    I don't think Fringe fits that pattern at all. The characters undergo a lot of development and they actually explain the mysteries eventually.

  15. Re:Not "Grindy" like WoW on What Game Devs Should Learn From EVE · · Score: 1

    So you're saying it's so good you're paying NOT to play it?

    Besides, I used to play EVE. The only way to make money in empire space is to grind missions, or mine, or industry, all of which are incredibly boring. So I and went down to 0.0. All people did there is mine and shoot mobs. The huge battles are boring as fuck and happen at 3 FPS. PvP mostly consists of camping outside gates for hours with a bunch of losers.

  16. Re:Shame on What Game Devs Should Learn From EVE · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's because it's a grindy, boring piece of shit like every other MMO. Just with more pretentious fans.

  17. Shame on What Game Devs Should Learn From EVE · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Shame that good MMORPGs don't make financial sense and MMORPGs that make financial sense aren't good.

  18. Re:Can't we do this for the coal mines? on NASA Planning Lunar Mining Tests, Other New Tech · · Score: 1

    It is worth it for the shareholders because they lose even more money if the miners go on strike.

  19. Re:What to do on Steam Client for Mac Launches, Linux Client On the Way · · Score: 1

    Steam is the best DRM you're going to get that publishers will accept.

  20. Re:Civ was my offline game on Civilization V To Use Steamworks · · Score: 1

    You can switch Steam to offline mode and it'll still work.

  21. Re:Of course on Microsoft .Net Libraries Not Acting "Open Source" · · Score: 4, Informative

    You mean like Mono? The submission is (intentionally or out of ignorance) trying to confuse the read-but-don't-touch "open source" reference implementation that no one uses, their legally binding promise not to sue anyone using open source implementations, and the stuff they have licensed under the OSI-approved MS-PL license.

  22. Misleading on Microsoft .Net Libraries Not Acting "Open Source" · · Score: 4, Interesting

    That's the reference implementation, which is under a read-but-don't-touch-license. .NET itself is an open specification you can read whenever you want, and they recently made a legally binding promise not to sue anyone for using an alternate implementation (like Mono).

  23. Third world on Salad Spinner Made Into Life-Saving Centrifuge · · Score: 1

    Can you seriously imagine someone in the third world having a salad spinner?

  24. Re:coloublind on Gene Therapy Restores Sight To Blind · · Score: 2, Interesting

    which had the added benefit of encouraging children to eat healthy food

    And, incidentally, food you could get with rationing.

  25. Re:MS should... on Dedicated Halo 2 Fans Keep Multiplayer Alive · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The solution is simply to not buy consoles.
