  1. Re:States' rights! on Montana Says No to Real ID, Passes Law to Deny It · · Score: 1

    Don't get too excited. Federal laws overrule local ones. Just look at the federal transportation boot-strapped drug laws.

  2. Re:In other news ... on Montana Says No to Real ID, Passes Law to Deny It · · Score: 1

    Expect their government leaders to disappear if they successfully fight this in the Supreme Court (which they won't) and the law gets repealed by the newly appointed Republic governor.

    Also, militias aren't ready for the carpet bombing of everyone in Montana.

    You can see from the Children of Men movie that terrorists with limited resources can only hold out so long against tanks and superior resources. Unless there was some supply chain to Montana from another state or country of ammunition, supplies, fighters, etc their struggle would last a day or two.

  3. Re:Yes, that will be MUCH brainier... on Online Video Suddenly Gets Brainy · · Score: 1

    Don't forget all the ones that give a helping hand to technology companies (Microsoft, SCO, etc) and political orgs (RNC).

  4. Re:In the minds of the consumer on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Team Not Art Thieves · · Score: 1

    A game without crates would be dreamy! Time to crate for STALKER? 2 minutes. Pretty good!

  5. Re:Good thing on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Team Not Art Thieves · · Score: 1

    Slashdot - Torch bearer of investigative journalism! They check facts almost as much as Wikipedia!

  6. Fuck Star Wars on GDC: LucasArts and The Force Unleashed · · Score: 1

    The Force will truly only be unleashed when George Lucas dies. That man has damaged his own franchise more than any developer has with shitty Star Wars games.

  7. Re:What does he need processing power for? on Spore Dev Down On the Wii · · Score: 1

    If you research him you'll find out he doesn't have a single published title with his name credited.

    That said, it's part of the rant session and nobody takes that seriously (or shouldn't). Really, it's just the rampant press fanboyism that has brought this kind of thing to people's attention as the Wii seems to be everyone's favorite thing to rub on their crotch these days.

  8. Finally...! on IBM Targets UFOs, Ghosts, and Goblins With Search Tool · · Score: 1

    ... a way to hone in on appropriate anal probing!

  9. Re:Are they new to the internet? on Puzzle Pirates Creators Go Web 2.0 · · Score: 1

    I thought of the same thing, but if you're intentionally exposing that kind of material to minors then I believe you can be prosecuted under federal sex crimes law.

  10. Re:How do you verify the credentials ... on Wikipedia May Require Proof of Credentials · · Score: 1

    Using gay as a pejorative is as limp as your wrists.

  11. Re:Who cares? on Wikipedia May Require Proof of Credentials · · Score: 1

    Truthiness is obviously far more important than stupid facts!

  12. Re:A country always begets the government it deser on Homeland Security Tests Snoop Computer System · · Score: 1

    Yes, because little children always deserve to be genocided by their own country's government.

    You, sir, are an ass.

  13. Re:Wait a minute, aren't we missing something here on Audit Finds FBI Abused Patriot Act · · Score: 1

    Did you miss the part of the fucking article that says they used it for personal gain and not for anything to do with national security?

  14. Re:Marvin Minsky killed AI on Marvin Minsky On AI · · Score: 1

    Gotta love how you throw "slept with some amazing women" in there... what the fuck does that have to do with the topic? Unless you're boning a computer, it hardly is relevant to the subject of AI.

  15. Orgs banning IE7 because of SAP Portal on Microsoft Vista, IE7 Banned By U.S. DOT · · Score: 3, Informative

    SAP Portal software doesn't work with IE7 without using a recent patch and huge orgs can't patch SAP without a shitstorm of trouble, so they just ban IE7 altogether. Oddly enough Firefox works with those versions of SAP Portal (although suffering from some minor rendering bugs causing very wide pages with scrollbars).

  16. Re: is it a sport period ? on Is Gaming Really a Spectator Sport? · · Score: 1

    If gaming is a sport then so is chess. Shall we have chess in the Olympics?

  17. Re: is it a sport period ? on Is Gaming Really a Spectator Sport? · · Score: 1

    Hey Archfeld, send me an email to md.N0SP4M.kerr@hotmail.com (remove the .N0SP4M.) Trying to reconnect and I'm guessing you don't check your Hotmail anymore since it's on your Slashdot profile publically.

  18. Re:Bravo on University Professor Chastised For Using Tor · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You aren't preparing the youth of the country for their future lives either, though, are you? ;)

  19. Re:Oh fer chrissake on OSDL and The Free Standards Group to Merge · · Score: 1

    and here i thought apple was the hutt syndicate

  20. Re:Expansion Pack != Sequel on Oblivion Sequel, Wii Sims, No Bully 2 · · Score: 1

    Featuring the fantastic DLC01 which lets you wear a SHIELD.

  21. Re:There's an easy way to make this a fun game... on Interplay Developing $75 Million Fallout MMOG · · Score: 1

    You wouldn't want too much to be able to change though otherwise everyone would end up having Brotherhood of Steel or Enclave level bases and technology and the post-apocalyptic vibe would give way to a future tech vibe.

  22. Re:ANTI-Christian Computer Game, you mean on Wal-Mart Asked to Drop Christian Video Game · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I beg to differ. They sure sound like the Christians from the Spanish Inquisition.

  23. City of Heroes/Villains on Interplay Developing $75 Million Fallout MMOG · · Score: 1

    Both CoH and CoV have firearms, although they are part of "power pools" and not really loot/equipment based like some others such as Star Wars Galaxies, the Matrix Online, etc. Alternatively also there are games that are MMOs that aren't RPGs that have guns such as Planetside. Nowhere does it state that fallout online is going to be an MMORPG like others out there, so it could be something slightly different.

  24. Re:Before lawsuits can be pressed... on Warner CEO Admits His Kids Stole Music · · Score: 1

    Didn't the RIAA sue a 14 year old girl? I don't think they give a shit about age, it's obviously that they're a RIAA member company CEO's kids that counts.

  25. Re:So... on Indian College Students Face Bleak Prospects · · Score: 1

    If you don't want to learn the theoretical foundations, why get a CS degree? You don't get a physics degree if you want a job fixing cars. For once this is an actually good analogy for this situation.
