  1. Wishful thinking on NPR Looks to Technological Singularity · · Score: -1

    Singularity already happened... Internet.

    Live it up.

  2. Re:What's the appeal of Transformers? on Peter Cullen Chosen to Voice Optimus Prime (Again) · · Score: 1

    But not as hot as the leather dressed, thigh-high booted, dark rim spectacled, Baroness.

    I've said too much..

  3. Re:I'm sorry, but on Peter Cullen Chosen to Voice Optimus Prime (Again) · · Score: 1

    Can't believe I'm wasting my breath on a "good troll" but,
    I am too busy studying and doing research for a Transformers movie.
    but you have enough time to post 3 times on /. thread about Transformers!?

    I'm sure the quality of your "psychological research" is undeniable, and a true gift to the human spirit.
    Thanks for playing:)

  4. Re:Open Hangar Doors!! on Former Host and Writer of MST3K Launches RiffTrax · · Score: 2, Funny

    What if we have a Chuck Norris vs. Zap Rowsdower war instead?
    Yeah, I know that all of you bitchass fanbois might think Norris is the bomb but,

    Wait a sec, someone's knocking

  5. Re:Why no Opera Category/Icon? on A Browser War Preview · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Opera is like that girl with a killer body but a really ugly face.
    You'd be more than glad to hit it, but don't wanna talk to your friends about it.
    Come on, you all know the feeling.

  6. Re:That's not the real reason Opera is shunned. on A Browser War Preview · · Score: 1

    I got off my high horse well over 5 years ago and installed an ad-supported browser which featured built in pop-up blocking as well tabs and mouse gestures (Opera).
    The ads werent that bad, and they were certainly much better than all the pop-ups that other browsers kept passing through.

    The point being, yes, they did have a small banner, and in conjunction with the net-zero or k-mart free internet software banner they did eat a lot of screen real estate, but their built-in advancements were literally years ahead of the competition.

    Opera still rocks.

  7. we can only hope on MS Research Automates Search Engine Spam Hunt · · Score: 1

    we can only hope that this research is as fruitful as their speech synthesis research, email spam blocking, multiplatform video codec, next-gen filesystem, advanced CLI shell, and portable computing.
    yay for MS research!

  8. The only questions that remain now are... on Lawsuits Fly Over Google Founders' Party Plane · · Score: 4, Funny

    What does Star Jones think of all this, and is the northeast still flooded?

  9. Re:The real question is..! on Microsoft Denies the Windows Kill Switch · · Score: 1

    Because then a vast majority of East European, Asian and African Computers would go blank.
    I was just reading on one of the forums from there yesterday, a guy is requesting keygens for his windows server 2003 enterprise CD, he bought on the street.

    If microsoft was to shut down all pirated copies of Windows, Apple would have a 15% share of the desktops, Firefox 40% of the browser market, and a lot of people in developing nations would get a really nice long coffee break.

  10. Thank you! on Hurricane Simulator to Destroy Full Size Building · · Score: 1

    Awesome project, I think I might have heard about it on "Discovery" channel a while ago. (Or maybe a similar one.)
    It's not every day that a house can be constructed just for the purpose of testing it with such strong winds.

    I live in Nebraska, and I'm sure that some of the findings from projects like yours will find their way into our homes to protect them from tornadoes.

    You might like some of the other speed demos:

    I like to watch them if I get bored with playing a game.

    The doom3 demo is on par with the movie.

  13. Re:Picking nits. on Australia's Technological World Cup Advantage · · Score: 1

    I'm with you on Argentina.
    Focused, technical and it shows.
    Brazil, Italy, Croatia, Japan, Aussies all played their games more or less fine, but nothing to write home about.
    Argentina looks nice and focused.

  14. Re:It isn't needed. on The Pornographers vs. The Pirates · · Score: 1

    Well, you can't compare Charlie Chaplin's acting with Tom Cruise's. You get what you pay for, and I think we're all happy with the turdfest that Tom Cruise can spew.

  16. Re:Yet another unbiased Slashdot posting... on Apache down, IIS up · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's because most of us cut our teeth on fixing problems caused by MS incompetence into the wee hours of the night.

    We owe no love or respect to them.

  19. Re:Out of Curiosity on Windows Vista Beta 2 Available for Download · · Score: 2, Funny

    Duel booting is fine and good man, but here in Nebraska most of our duels involve trashy girls, broken beer bottles and crushed sinus cavities.

    If you don't want your OS booting to end up like that, I'd recommend dual booting.

    You'll avoid much hassle that way, because then you can specify which OS you'd like booted, as opposed to them dueling it out. :)

    dude, this is slashdot.
    our dimensions are x y and z. and not "effective" inches.

    don't waste your time with quake multiplayer.
    quake wars: enemy territory is coming out soon.
    get a feel for it by playing free wolfenstein enemy territory.

  23. Re:Quality counts for something on Valve Talks Episode One · · Score: 1

    no offence, but if the developers state that it is a 4-6 hour episode then, you're looking at 12-18 hours of gameplay.
    now maybe you like to play really slow or something, but all things being equal, you're still getting ripped off.

  24. Re:Quality counts for something on Valve Talks Episode One · · Score: 1

    perhaps you've never heard of quake wars? from the same folks that brought us wolfenstein ET. (which is free)

    That's right. The "read more" and "score" are way
    too far off to the right.
    They wouldn't even pass your lameness filter.
    Please bring them back.

    It's like confirming moving a file into a trash bin. Takes much too much time to get it done.
