    Oil on Mars, that or John Carter.

  2. Re:Why I stick with my local telco VDSL on Verizon To Throttle Pirates' Bandwidth · · Score: 1

    Same here, I also have a local DSL provider, i don't get the same speeds cable users do but I've literally no hassel from my ISP with regards to my bandwidth usage which can be up to a terrabyte a month on really high months.

  3. If only on AMD Hires Bank To Explore Sale Options · · Score: 2

    If only Valve/Gabe Newell had enough capital to buy AMD.

  4. Re:Surprised? on Blizzard Sued Over Battle.net Authentication · · Score: 5, Informative

    No they aren't I just checked my copy of Diablo 3 (which was a total waste of money) and my password worked regardless of what I capitalized.

  5. Re:Politicians on 'World of Warcraft' Candidate For Maine State Senate Wins Election · · Score: 2

    Ya I already said that I mistakenly called this the Streisand effect, it was early in the morning for me and I'd not had my Tea. Also I'd say the donation numbers are a good indicator that drawing attention to her world of warcraft ties was a bad idea.

  6. Re:Politicians on 'World of Warcraft' Candidate For Maine State Senate Wins Election · · Score: 1

    Actually it isn't the streisand effect, but it is an effect I just don't have a name for it.

  7. Politicians on 'World of Warcraft' Candidate For Maine State Senate Wins Election · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Politician's need to learn about the Streisand effect. Had they never attacked her for playing world of world craft I'd of known nothing about her or even much cared. I'm sure this is true also for younger people in her state.

    When they decide to attack her on this front they pretty much mobilized a larger portion of the young voter demographic for her than she would of otherwise gotten. Even though she herself brought it up the decision to attack her on this front brought it from being an irrelevant and kinda amusing factoid to front page news on many sites and news sources.

  8. Re:He speaks for millions of others. on Linus Torvalds Tries KDE, Likes It So Far · · Score: 2

    I wasn't missing the point I was just making a joke.

  9. In other news on Linus Torvalds Tries KDE, Likes It So Far · · Score: 5, Funny

    In other news Linus Torvalds tries crunchy peanut butter, and likes it so far.

  11. Re:SNAFU on Feds Continue To Consider Linux Users Criminals For Watching DVDs · · Score: 5, Funny

    Damn I hope they do this because then I can get some agricultural tax breaks and government assistant to subsidize my ever growing ebook collection.

  12. The hardware on Microsoft Prepares To Push Kinect Everywhere Windows Is · · Score: 2

    I don't have any issues with Kinect it's pretty good hardware, you can get better but the idea and the price is rather good. If it came with my PC or was a fairly cheep upgrade say 50 to 75 dollars i"d pick it up.

    Until they get that though I really doubt I'll pick it up. That and there needs to be a genuine application that kinect is genuinely a must have for.

  13. Price sensitive users huh on iPad Mini Could Retail For $250, Delete iPad 2 · · Score: 1

    I love the phrasing Price Sensitive users, aka cheap bastards. Seriously why anyone would get an ipad for ebook reading over the options offered by Barnes and Noble or Amazon.

  14. Tweeting, and posting on facebook on Judge Rules Defense Can Use Trayvon Martin Tweets · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Tweeting, and posting on facebook or other social sites are forms of speech, speech is protected by the first amendment but that said it can also be used against you in any court of law. 'Anything you say can and will be used against you' so I think the current miranda rights cover that.

    So nothing really ground breaking here as far as I'm concerned.

  15. Re:Reunion tour on Jill Stein and Gary Johnson Debate Online Tonight · · Score: 1

    Vetoing legislation doesn't get your own agenda through congress. If you think it does then you're sorely mistaken.

  16. Re:Really? on Jill Stein and Gary Johnson Debate Online Tonight · · Score: 1

    You just made me spew water on my monitor I hope you're happy.

  17. Re:Reunion tour on Jill Stein and Gary Johnson Debate Online Tonight · · Score: 1

    The bottom line is even if they are super sincere if they got elected (if you subscribed to a multiverse theory they get elected in some universe) they would be ineffective, because you have to b eable to get the congress and the senate to agree to anything you watn to do as president for the most part.

    I like the green party for the most part, I think they are a bit too extreme in some ways but they really need to focus on local elections and not the presidential one.

    People who use slashdot also tend to read, people who read then to buy books off amazon, and lately digital sales have been growing by leaps and bounds. Thus this news, falls under News for Nerds.
