  1. Re:Update Spammer on Space Command Creator Launches Real Life Space Command · · Score: 1

    About that, how do you stop getting emails from Slashdot anyway? I can't seem to find the option anywhere.

    Diver Snaps First Photo of a Fish Using a Tool

  3. Skype on English Teenager Invents a Better Doorbell · · Score: 2

    Couldn't you just hook the door bell up to your LAN and make it call through Skype or whatever instead of this 3g chip nonsense?

  4. Re:Sometimes? on Space Shuttle Endeavour Blasts Off On Final Flight · · Score: 1

    It's just gravity from a different direction pulling(pushing?) it away from Earth, it's still losing to gravity. You can't beat gravity. Not until we invent some sort of anti-gravity that works in some way not currently known to established science.

    But if you make going outside illegal, only the criminals will go outside!

  6. Re:Good. Hope this keeps up on US Marshals Saved 35,000 Full Body Scans · · Score: 1

    Sorry no, but it won't change until there is some key technological or cultural revolution on the scale of the (first) American Revolution. Power is never taken away gradually. Something like First Contact, Free Energy(Cheap Nuclear Fusion, Antimatter, whatever), or the gates of hell suddenly opening up would probably do it. Okay maybe not that last one unless it completely destroyed all forms of government entirely. A massive Nuclear Incident (Say, 1+ Megatons going off anonymously in Moscow/London/New York) would most likely instill marshal law in most countries. This could eventually lead to complete civil revolt. It's hard to say really, speculation is all the rage!

  7. In Other News... on Digital Distribution Numbers Speak To Health of PC Game Industry · · Score: 3, Informative

    Software box companies continue to dislike digital distribution, oil companies lobby away from nuclear power, and the middle east is still a warzone.

  8. Re:Commodore 64? on Commodore 64 Primed For a Comeback In June · · Score: 1

    In this case, the 64 obviously stands for 64-bit processor, much like the Nintendo 64.

  9. Re:trash reviewers on The Unsung Heroes of PC Gaming History · · Score: 1

    Starcraft doesn't make the list because it is not "unsung" - pretty much everyone knows what it did for the genre.

    To the person who modded the parent interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbonia

    i7's are made in the USA. (They used to be made in Costa Rica) source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_i7

  11. Re:Still no HL2: Episode 3? on Valve Announces Portal 2 · · Score: 1

    The fact that Chell and Gordon are both completely voiceless is disturbing to me.

    Silent Protagonists are not all that uncommon and usually very effective. (Crono!)

  12. Re:Might I suggest the title? on New Call of Duty Titles Announced, Fired Devs Sue For Name · · Score: 1

    Flagship Studios thought they could do without a publisher, too.

  14. Re:will it be shot down? on Synthetic Stone DVD Claimed To Last 1,000 Years · · Score: 1

    Actually.. a lot of distributors of DVDs will usually let you send back a damaged disc for a replacement (although, sometimes you're charged a fee for this. I seem to recall EB Games having a 2$ deal for pre-owned game discs, but I can't be sure if that's still around) so your point may still be valid anyway.

  15. Re:... why bother? on LegalTorrents Launches Copyright-Compliant Tracker · · Score: 1

    Giving stuff away can certainly turn a profit if it's used as advertising for other services/products.

  16. Re:From what I've discovered... on Are Software Developers Naturally Weird? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't life be better if we all did not wear camouflage?

    No, cause then we'd all have bad hair and talk about cheese all the time. Cheeeeeeese.

  17. Re:Am I reading the summary wrong? - YES YOU ARE on Canadian Copyright Lobby Fights Anti-Spyware Legislation · · Score: 2, Informative

    As the law stands now, they can install spyware without authorization.
    The bill would change this.
    They're trying to remove that part of the bill.

  19. Re:Linux on New Nano-Laser Created · · Score: 0, Troll

    Someone seems to have just taken all their mod points and rated several posts in a row troll for no apparent reason.

    The guys who created it certainly seem to think so: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent,_Inc.

  21. Re:Good luck with that. on Fighting For Downloaders' Hearts and Minds · · Score: 1

    2: I bought a car, and it wore out, so I went out and stole another one from a dealer lot.

    More like I bought a car that had a bomb that would break the engine after driving 1000 miles, so I took out the bomb.

    I want to use my mod points on this post, but it's already maxed. :/

  24. Re:Gee... on Huge German Donation Marks Wikipedia's Evolution · · Score: 1

    Even if someone reverted your edit, you'd still be able to go into the history for it, and find your image still listed in your revision.
