  1. Meh on First Person Tetris · · Score: 1

    Meh. Makes your head spin a little because you can only rotate the blocks one way, but that's about it. Didn't even notice it until I stopped playing. Got to about as far as I do in normal tetris (level 6).

  2. Re:Reboot how? on Spider-Man 4 Scrapped, Franchise Reboot Planned · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Seriously, it's only got an uptime of 8 years, it doesn't need to be rebooted yet!

  3. Re:Anyone else outgrow Duke Nukem? on Duke Nukem Forever Not Dead? (Yes, This Again) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No publisher would throw away 12 years of hype.

  4. Re:OpenGL and the rant about marketing on Why You Should Use OpenGL and Not DirectX · · Score: 1

    And I bet that's IPv4.

  5. Re:Doom 1? on Framerates Matter · · Score: 1

    Creating a blur effect on 8-bit indexed colour is by no means impossible. You just need to be more clever about it.

  6. Re:Watch list? on 5th Underhanded C Contest Now Open · · Score: 1

    Crash Override is much cooler. Though I'm also partial to Cereal Killer.

  7. Re:Lets see on Why Do So Many Terrorists Have Engineering Degrees · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not all terrorists are religious.

  8. Re:Flash not working on A Mixed Review For Google Chrome On Linux · · Score: 1

    To the geek.

    We're talking about Chrome on Linux here.

  9. Re:FP on Graphic Novelist Calls For Better Game Violence · · Score: 1

    And for that you deserve to burn in the lowest of hells for all eternity.

  10. Re:Emacs is in Bazaar on GNU Emacs Switches From CVS To Bazaar · · Score: 1
  11. Re:Get others in Gov to use it on How Can I Contribute To Open Source? · · Score: 1

    It's proof that it's reliable enough for their use.

  12. Re:Perhaps the world is now ready for PRM on Holy See Declares a "Unique Copyright" On the Pope · · Score: 1

    Yes, back when they still encoded everything with the LATIN algorithm.

  13. Re:Wait, slow this train down on Former Congressman Learns About Streisand Effect · · Score: 1

    Besides, wouldn't the copyright holders to your name be your parents? (provided you haven't changed your name, of course)

  14. Re:The results are less interesting on The Perfect Way To Slice a Pizza · · Score: 1

    I'd say it's not a very good party if there's less than half a pizza per person... Works fine with an even number of people, and an odd number can always be turned even by inviting one more person.

  15. Re:Wait, what? on The Perfect Way To Slice a Pizza · · Score: 1

    Yes, with your teeth. It's kind of hard to fit into your mouth all at once.

  16. Re:Other reason on Music While Programming? · · Score: 1

    And as such, the solution is to make it the path of more frustration.

  17. Re:Who cares? on Is Earth's Atmosphere an Import? · · Score: 1

    I would assume those would be: a stellar eclipse, stellar power, stellar panels and so on.

  18. Re:SRWare Iron and firefoxs addons on Google Chrome Extensions Are Now Available · · Score: 1

    Chrome updates itself in the background without prompts. I fail to see how updating extensions the same way is at all surprising.

  19. Re:Saw this on Musical Tesla Coils Perform Zelda · · Score: 1

    Are you saying that mHz is equivalent to m/s?

  20. Re:Saw this on Musical Tesla Coils Perform Zelda · · Score: 1

    E.g. 128 breaks per second roughly equals a sound at 128 Hz.

    There's nothing rough about that. Hertz (Hz) essentially means "per second".

  21. Re:xkcd relevance on Dumbing Down Programming? · · Score: 1

    The expressiveness of Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind is not due to English. It's due to the human interpreting the phrase. The same phrase can be written as (forgive me if the translation is not as elegant as the original, but that's usually the case with translations) !love.looksWith(eyes) && love.looksWith(mind) and a human should still be able to grasp the meaning of the sentence as long as they're familiar with the language. A computer will not.

  22. Re:Lowering the bar on Dumbing Down Programming? · · Score: 1

    You do know that reference counting is a (simple and limited) form of garbage collection?

  23. Re:Jumping the gun... on FreeBSD 8.0 Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    Tell me about it. When I was new here I always used to read the articles before posting, but by then everyone had already commented and spent their mod points so I never got any karma! But then I learnt the proper way of doing things and now I've got karma to burn on offtopic posts about slashdot!

  24. Re:You mean 11,500 Euro on Moving Decimal Bug Loses Money · · Score: 1

    Or we could come up with completely new punctuation to do the job!

  25. Re:Apostrophes! on Moving Decimal Bug Loses Money · · Score: 1

    Being Finnish, I already use a comma as a decimal separator and a space as a thousands separator, but the whole point of making it standard is to make sure that I can say 1,234 without other people confusing it with 1 234 (or 1'234 as you seem to prefer).
