  1. First Post! on OnLive Gaming Service Gets Lukewarm Approval · · Score: 3, Funny

    There was even more latency than you expected, you insensitive clod!

  2. Re:I doubt this will catch on... on OnLive Gaming Service Gets Lukewarm Approval · · Score: 1

    People who are curious to try Crysis, but not curious enough to buy a gaming graphics card. The aim is to remove the barriers that say 'Casual gamers must tolerate low end graphics'.

    You can get very capable graphics cards for under $200 these days. How is that more expensive than this service will be?

  3. Re:Mercy-downmod parent? on Tor Users Urged To Update After Security Breach · · Score: 1

    Those of us who are interested in everything Slashdot has to offer will still see the context.

    I personally don't understand who would want to browse a discussion where you only see half of what is going on, but to each his own.

  4. Re:Why not? on US Military Weapons Inscribed With Secret Bible Codes · · Score: 2, Informative

    It first appeared on our money during the Civil War. I think it is clearly unconstitutional and should be removed.

  5. Re:Start smaller? on Scientists To Breed the Auroch From Extinction · · Score: 1
  6. Re:Hope and Change, baby! on Obama DOJ Sides With RIAA Again In Tenenbaum · · Score: 1

    Live Free or Die! I like it.

  7. Re:Weirding module on Sound Generator Lethal From 10 Meters · · Score: 1
  8. Re:Top news as it happens on Slashdot! on Sound Generator Lethal From 10 Meters · · Score: 1

    Some people are having trouble remembering it's not 2009 anymore, but you seem to still be stuck on 2008. :)

  9. Re:Well, Pong is earlier then 1974 on Looking Back At Dungeons & Dragons · · Score: 1

    They have to justify their exorbitant tuition costs somehow.

  10. Keep dreaming on Genre Wars — the Downside of the RPG Takeover · · Score: 1

    You must be one of those guys who pre-ordered Duke Nukem Forever, right?

  11. Re:Not because of RPG elements on Genre Wars — the Downside of the RPG Takeover · · Score: 1

    Ogre Battle for SNES/PS1 and Ogre Battle64 for N64 are what spring to mind as closest to your idea.

  12. Re:Stealing by any other name still stinks as much on Hiding From Google · · Score: 1

    You're still wrong.

  13. Re:Read the article, slashdot summary is wrong on CBS Refuses To Preserve Jack Benny Footage · · Score: 1

    If you don't like the comments you're seeing when logged in, you need to raise your threshold.

  14. Re:Woody Woodpecker says, Use Tor + SSL! on Hiding From Google · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the link... but you do need JavaScript enabled to use Safe-Mail.

  15. Re:Would you pay for Google ad-free? on Hiding From Google · · Score: 1

    I laughed when I was first presented the option to turn off ads on Slashdot. I have been using AdBlock+ the whole time I've been a reader here, so I never knew there were any ads.

    I'm sure I'm not the only one.

  16. Re:And we're trusting you because.... on Hiding From Google · · Score: 1

    Haha, sounds about right!

  17. oops on Blizzard Adds Timestamps To WoW Armory · · Score: 1

    (Actually, thinking a little more about this, maybe I ought to pay more attention to my online privacy. The terrorists have won, I'm posting this as anon.)

    Hey, fractoid, you dropped your name in the midst of your AC post and we know who you are. :) Best to decide "to AC or not to AC" before you start composing.

  18. Re:And you all laughed on France Tells Its Citizens To Abandon IE, Others Disagree · · Score: 2, Informative

    You forgot to mention that a avian-dropped baguette was responsible for knocking the LHC offline... but was that good or bad?

  19. Re:Wait a second.... on France Tells Its Citizens To Abandon IE, Others Disagree · · Score: 1

    It could be argued that the EU as it exists today has its roots in the cooperation between Germany and France that has been going on for nearly half a century. WWII was a long time ago, things change.

  20. Re:Tear down on France Tells Its Citizens To Abandon IE, Others Disagree · · Score: 1

    Why the heck do you need to keep 300 tabs open? Do you also complain about the gas mileage of you car when dragging a 3000kg anchor behind it?

  21. Re:I haven't used DIVX in years on HandBrake Abandons DivX As an Output Format · · Score: 1

    Lots of stuff from Japan, China, and Korea is still encoded in .rmvb for whatever reason.

  22. Re:Where is Opportunity ? on Options Dwindling For Mars Spirit Rover · · Score: 1

    It also keeps them focused on their tasks. If they were together, it's just robot-on-robot sex, 24/7/687...or at least after every sunny day...

    FTFY, this is on Mars, remember? (Wikipedia says the day is 24.622h, so you're close enough there.) :)

  23. Re:Where is Opportunity ? on Options Dwindling For Mars Spirit Rover · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It won't have enough juice to survive the Martian winter. They have to try now while they can.

  24. Re:Just business as usual. on Another Attack, On Law Firm Suing China · · Score: 1

    I try to keep the JavaScript horror confined to one tab at a time, so I never understood how people could comment in the wrong article.

    Thanks for clearing that up. :)

  25. FFVII on RIAA Wants Limits On Net Neutrality So ISPs Can Police File Sharing · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's FFVII, you insensitive clod!
