  1. Re:The Term 'App Store' is Becoming Over Used on US Government Sets Up Online "App Store" · · Score: 1

    If it was used as 'Application Storage' I could see that being a viable shortened term actually.

  2. Re:What? on (Near) Constant Internet While RV'ing? · · Score: 1

    +1 Funny +1 Funny -1 Overrated -1 Overrated -1 Troll? I can understand the overrated but seriously troll?

    I think your trolling but...

    If a mod disagrees with your opinion, you will be sent to karma hell.

    this one is true.

  4. Re:Chinese Coders? on Feds Ask IT Execs To Throw Away Cellphones After Visiting China · · Score: 1

    This whole discussion is making me think of Avenue Q. Everyone's a little bit racist.

  5. Re:PC Games? What PC Games? on iPhone As a PC Game Controller · · Score: 1

    If they made Wii games for the PC - I'd be all for it.

    The wiimote is a bluetooth remote too. I use mine just as a gimmick to show my friends but its pretty shitty for real use.

  6. Re:What? on (Near) Constant Internet While RV'ing? · · Score: 0, Troll

    RV = Recreational Vehicle.

    That is odd I use my boat for recreation but it doesn't qualify as a RV. I use my off road rigs for recreation too. Someone care to explain?

  7. Re:Captain Obvious on Variety, Social Aspects More Important To Game Success Than Graphics, Plot · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I agree on point 4, my mom is a slut really is a slut.

  8. Re:News? Where? on New York Times Site Pop-Up Says Your Computer Is Infected · · Score: 1

    I was thinking the same thing. The answer is probably yes.

  9. Re:If They Truly Belong To Me... on Twitter Says Your Tweets Belong To You · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Except, once something reaches the internet proper the odds of removing all instances of it drop to near 0.

  10. Gundams on Exoskeletons For Rent In Japan · · Score: 1

    These things are in Japan for a reason, they made lesser gundams to keep eyes from looking for the big ones.

  11. Re:Patents Don't Protect the Community on Microsoft Letting Patents Move To Linux Firms · · Score: 1

    Sounds like patent trolling a patent troll.

  12. Re:Backlit screen = yuk on Asus Plans Dual-Display E-Reader · · Score: 1

    Windows? I took all of those out when I changed my house and to Linux.

  13. Re:How can you... on Future of NASA's Manned Spaceflight Looks Bleak · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In any event, what we really need is not another Saturn V. We need a cheap and reliable way to put small payloads into orbit over and over and over. A "space pickup truck" if you will. You can do almost everything by sending up modules and assembling them in orbit, and anything you can't do, you could handle with a few heavy-lift launches; and then use the pickup truck to send fuel, supplies, and crew up.

    Sounds EXACTLY like what the Shuttle was made to do.

    You must be new here, by not RTFA you get "+1 normal /. reader".

  15. Re:Pristine Ecosystems on Lost World of Fanged Frogs and Giant Rats · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Do newly discovered ecosystems also represent new ecosystems of viruses, bacteria and diseases?

    IANAB* but, yeah they probably have new/different bacteria, viruses and diseases but most of those are probably tailored to the animals living there and aren't going to cause human problems until some mutations occur.

    * I am not a biologist.

  16. Re:That is what you get on Parental Control Software Datamines Kids' Online Conversations · · Score: 1

    I see a slightly different effect in that earlier reaction to sex might make less horny generations.

    the Chinese are learning Engrish in droves.

    FTFY.

  18. Re:Black Seas Barracuda on How Hollywood Tie-Ins Saved Lego · · Score: 1

    They had a Lego CAD type program not long ago on the website but I can't remember if they dropped it. I still have the Lego Creator game from years back in my cd shelves too but it didn't have an export function.

  19. Re:Guns in lego are new? on How Hollywood Tie-Ins Saved Lego · · Score: 1

    I actually had a heck of a time trying to take the arms out of a few of my characters, the legs and heads on the other hand were made to change.

    Yeah Apple is more like the Hummer of laptops, everyone who buys one wants to overpay again and again.

  23. Re:Hmm on Console Makers Scaling Back Their Push For HD · · Score: 1

    I play my N64 with its N64 like graphics on my 1080p TV all the time though. The NES looks cool on there too, blocky as hell on the large TV but cool nonethless.

  24. Re:Obligatory XKCD on Kernel 2.6.31 To Speed Up Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    FLV is open, but SWF is not.

  25. Re:Slashdot -- Marketing For Cheap on SOE Also Making a New Star Wars MMOG? · · Score: 1

    Sure, but its still "News for Nerds" (perhaps not "stuff that matters"). It involves A) MMORPGs and B) Star Wars, both of which nerds tend to like.

    Correction it involves a MMOG, MMORPG would be expected to have RPG elements while a MMOG doesn't have to.
