  1. Start small on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Get My Spouse To Start Gaming With Me? · · Score: 1

    Take it a step at a time, our interests in gaming didn't appear overnight. Start with board/card games like Settlers of Catan or Munchkin. Play those with mutual friends, it may help build up her interest. Settlers of Catan is only a step away from Civilization games. If she has any friends that play Magic the Gathering, that can be a good start too, and the artwork may draw her in, or the collecting. Use these to bring out her interest, then try straightforward, shorter, but good games, like Portal. But don't just recommend your favorite games, ask what she's interested in. If she isn't sure, slowly try out a genre at a time. Avoid first person shooters at all cost unless you are positive she's interested in them.

  2. Drupal Logo on Book Review: Drupal For Designers · · Score: 4, Funny

    The Drupal Logo is formed from the tears of unsuspecting developers forced to use it.

  3. Drupal Logo on Book Review: Drupal 7 Multi Sites Configuration · · Score: 1

    The Drupal logo is made of the tears of those forced to develop sites with it.

  4. Re:V Sign. on How a Gesture Could Get Your Google+ Profile Picture Yanked · · Score: 2

    That you watch too much anime?

  5. Will be better than iTunes on Google Starts Testing Google Music Internally · · Score: 1

    Anything google makes will be better than that crappy program.

  6. The only way on Geostationary GPS Satellite Galaxy 15 Out of Control · · Score: 5, Funny

    but it's the only way to be sure!

  7. Re:Really? on Best Way To Sell a Game Concept? · · Score: 1

    That was only 10, you ripped him off.

  8. Re:Kill-o-Byte? on Haptic Gaming Vest Simulates Punches, Shots, Stabbing · · Score: 1

    That's what I thought of too.

  9. Re:Quick on Japan To Standardize Electric Vehicle Chargers · · Score: 5, Funny

    and puns, we can't let the Japanese be beating us on puns.

  10. Botnets on Zeus Botnet Down But Not Out · · Score: 1

    There are stories about botnets all the time, but I usually don't see anything about how to remove them. I'm pretty confident in my browsing habits, but the same can't be said for my relatives. What's the easiest way to check a machine for infestation? Do standard virus scanners handle it, or programs like Malewarebytes?

  11. Niney on Zeus Botnet Dealt a Blow As ISPs Troyak, Group 3 Knocked Out · · Score: 3, Informative

    Read that, figured it was Nine, read the article, 90 of 249

  12. Weird on Schooling Microsoft On Random Browser Selection · · Score: 1

    So people keep saying press F5 to see the unsorted order, and I went to try it (after allowing javascript), and when I refreshed I got: Google Chrome image - Google Chrome Firefox image - Safari Firefox image - Firefox IE - IE Opera - Opera and after about a 2-3 second pause, staring at that, the first Firefox image changed to the correct Safari one

  13. Been so long on StarCraft II Closed Beta Begins · · Score: 2

    But wasn't Diablo 3 announced first? Where is that beta?

  14. Re:Great scientists weren't very scientific on The Journal of Serendipitous and Unexpected Results · · Score: 1

    God does not play dice with the universe, he plays Go. - W. Taylor

  15. Re:This is where consoles win on Saboteur Launch Plagued By Problems With ATI Cards · · Score: 1

    Couldn't agree with you more. Sadly they don't, so PC for me.

  16. Re:Only $1.25 Billion? on Intel and AMD Settle Antitrust, Patent Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    He was referring to the processors and graphics cards with that statement, way to twist what he said.

  17. Snowballing... on Comcast's New Throttling Plan Uses Trigger Conditions, Not Silent Blocking · · Score: 1

    This just keeps getting worse and worse...surely there must be something we can do to end this. (not a comcast user)

  18. Re:China seems to want to enhance its image... on China Bans Gold Farming · · Score: 1

    Being forced to play WoW as a job? How could that ever be considered a dream job. Sure it's not a bad game, but it gets old after a while.

  19. Well... on SLI On Life Support For the AMD Platform · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Looks like no more NVIDIA for me, time to research what ATI has available. I like my AMD chips.

  20. Mosaic on The More Popular the Browser, the Slower It Is · · Score: 4, Funny

    So does this mean that Mosaic is the most efficient one out there?

  21. Re:Is it good? on Video Game Adaptation In the Works For A Song of Fire and Ice · · Score: 1

    Definitely don't read it if you actually plan to like any of the characters. Anyone you actually like will either be killed or ignored for several books. The plot is fairly obvious if you think about it, but it's largely ignored. Almost all of the books are from the point of view of characters you don't care about, and the 'believably evil' characters are mostly annoying, especially when entire chunks of the book are dedicated to them, and then they somehow magically redeem themselves. However, if you do care about what kind of dresses Sansa is wearing, or how her last cup of tea was, there's plenty of that.

  22. If they do this any more... on NoScript Adds Subscriptions To Adblock Plus · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If NoScript screws with AdBlock any more, I'm just deleting it, AdBlock is the more valuable of the addons to me. I definitely don't like a developer screwing with someone else's addon, and then when it can't be deleted claims it's a "bug". No way it's a bug, just an undocumented feature.

  23. Re:Go on Ancient Books Go Online · · Score: 1

    No, but it looks like quite an interesting language, using RPN. I always have my calculators set to RPN. Definitely going to mess around with it, looks fun.

  24. Go on Ancient Books Go Online · · Score: 2, Funny

    Did anyone else see "Ancient Books Go..." and think they'd discovered some ancient Go books?

  25. Re:Ironic on The Rootkit Arsenal · · Score: 2, Funny

    How else will we keep the trend from the first story going?
