  1. Re:None on Ask Slashdot: What Magazines Do You Still Read? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I tend to not carry my phone around at home, and still like to read something in the bathroom. Maxim and Money atm. Tends to be whatever family subscribes me to as gifts though.

  2. Re:So, I suspect that a good strong cup of tea ... on Coffee Consumption Strongly Linked To Preventing Alzheimer's · · Score: 4, Funny

    God yes, I remember that stuff. My Mom had a huge bar of it in the freezer for baking and told me I wouldn't like it, and not to eat it. Ten year old me thought he was so smart to figure out that Mom was just pulling one over on him to keep all the chocolate for herself. After all, how the hell could they make chocolate that I wouldn't like? Then I snuck a big chunk of it and could only think it had been a trap the whole time.

  3. Re:Still clicking the links in emails? on Bank Accounts Vulnerable For Victims of ZeuS Trojan Variant 'Gameover' · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sounds hot, you got a link?

  4. Re:Well now on Barnes & Noble Names Microsoft's Disputed Android Patents · · Score: 1

    Cause if someone goes through the trouble of busting it, they can pull out the other one. Think of it as that extra clip of ammo.

  5. Re:Two words: rubbing alcohol on AMD Hates Laptop Stickers As Much As You Do · · Score: 2, Funny

    Cause their shit is inflammable?

  6. Re:Why bother with manuals? on Ubisoft Says No More Game Manuals · · Score: 1

    I don't read the manuals now, except occasionally to check controls. However, as a kid I did. Just got a new game, the ride home was anticipation of playing sated by reading about the game. Now that I think about it, I still do that if I am not the one driving.

  7. Re:Why colour? on Color E-Book Displays Coming From E Ink Next Year · · Score: 1

    I am waiting for color. My main reason is comics. Widespread color ereaders would be huge for comic companys. Marvel is already offering a ton of older books online through their website. I would subscribe today to a good half a dozen comics if they were loaded overnight to my reader, in full color.

  8. Re:Is it just D&D ? on Prison Bans D&D For Mimicking Gang Structure · · Score: 1

    I can think of a few of my friends that I would never want to see play any RPG. They have issues seperating character actions from players actions, problems keeping the game confined to just the game, etc. I can see a very strong case for not allowing people that have already shown problems with following rules and living ina functioning society to play violent fantasy based games. I can see the same argument for many boradgames too. Can you imagine a Diplomacy game in prison? Dorms were bad enough.

  9. Re:poker is NOT gambling on A Push To End the Online Gambling Ban · · Score: 1

    Given that #2 and #3 are substantially less useful in online poker, it's closer to gambling that it is to a "game of skill," particularly for the vast majority of the population with less than stellar probability skills (see the entire population of people playing the lottery).

    I disagree. With online poker you can play mutiple tables and don't take nearly as long dealing and handling chips. This makes the number of hands played sky rocket, evening out the effects luck will have on your game. Luck really only effects short term results anyway, make the same decision enough times in the same spot, and your results should converge on expected.

  10. Do Both on Go For a Masters, Or Not? · · Score: 1

    A lot of companies will pay the course fees for your masters. Take a class or two each semester/quarter. It takes three years instead of two, but you come out waaay ahead cost wise, get the work experience and the masters. I'm still kicking myself for not doing it my first few years working, when my only real time obligations were video games.

  11. Re:What About the Good Things? on One In Five Employers Scan Applicants' Web Lives · · Score: 1

    The % was only of those employers who used the informations. And that data could be anything as innocent as what your salary is/was.
