  1. One word: on Dice Buys Geeknet's Media Business, Including Slashdot, In $20M Deal · · Score: 1

    TechTV Or is that two words? Yeah, call me jaded, but every time I hear "we bought X and we'll keep X running the same way forever!", I know it means "we'll merge the product and slowly kill it off as we take the few pieces we do like and roll it into our own product." And yes, I choose this to be my first post on Slashdot. Despite being registered for a while, and even lurking since 2000 (not a typo) before that. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some old DVD's of the Screensavers I want to re-watch as I archive old Slashdot threads...

  2. low-res images are the best! on Mysterious Object Found In Seabed · · Score: 1

    How can they possibly be misinterpreted! https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Cydonia_(region_of_Mars) The human senses are the least reliable form of identification. They're programmed to see certain things, and to fit an image into their expectations when they're not.

  3. Incredible. Truly, truly incredible on After 7 Years, MyDoom Worm Is Still Spreading · · Score: 2

    This virus has accomplished what no one else has managed on the Windows Platform. Backward Compatibility. 7 years and running!

  4. The quantum state of piracy on How Major Film Studios Manipulate YouTube Users · · Score: 1

    Apparently it exists in two states at once. On the one hand, pirates are unlikely to ever buy their products when they have access to pirated content On the other, pirates are likely to buy their products if presented with "fake" pirated content to whet their appetites. But no no, its not "advertising"...

  5. Re:Instead of Whining, Create Something Original on Tetris Clones Pulled From Android Market · · Score: 1

    "I disapprove of your tetris clone, but I will defend to the death your right to make it!"

  6. Re:Electric Sheep on Video Gamers Have Power Over Their Dreams · · Score: 1

    Ewe should be lambasted for that one!

  7. Re:Can it wait? on Mass Effect To Invade the Big Screen · · Score: 2, Funny

    I agree and, of course, the really good news is that U** fucking B*** isn't involved.

    Fixed that for ya.
