  1. Re:Durned kids on MySpace Revamps Site To Recapture the Magic · · Score: 1

    You kidding? X is just getting old enough now to get real political power. As all generations before us have discovered, that's all that matters.

  2. Re:Um, not quite.... on Five Times the US Almost Nuked Itself · · Score: 1

    and it's corollary: Incompetent at calculating risk

  3. Re:Um, not quite.... on Five Times the US Almost Nuked Itself · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I would agree with this. We have come far closer to nuking ourselves through intentional political will than any accident.

  4. Re:"Free trial not free" on Square Enix Attempting Final Fantasy XIV Damage Control · · Score: 1

    No, I can say that I hate FF without giving them a damn cent

  5. Re:How bad is it? on Square Enix Attempting Final Fantasy XIV Damage Control · · Score: 1

    Oh come on. 50% rating is small potatoes when it comes to bad. You wanna see the worst? Rogue Warrior. 29% at Metacritic. Daikatana is an absolute classic compared to this steaming turd. Look at is scores. It didn't get a single positive review. It's so bad it doesn't even circle back around to good. On steam, it came with the QuakeCon package. I've benn too scared to install it. What if it destroys my machine through sheer awfulness

  6. Re:Excellent idea on Chertoff Advocates Cyber Cold War · · Score: 1

    "Pissing match" is the least of it. Go watch the documentary "Trinity and Beyond: the atomic bomb movie". It was a bunch of power mad and power drunk farktards gambling with our lives and, arguably, the entire planet.

  7. Re:Excellent idea on Chertoff Advocates Cyber Cold War · · Score: 1

    That is until you realize that the total economic collapse we are currently in the first stages of was started at the end of that war. Oh, and the fact that we "won" the war by simply becoming just like them. Hell, these days the DHS and the NSA could teach the NKVD a few things about the finer points of establishing a police state.

  8. Re:Uh on Wikileaks Donations Account Shut Down · · Score: 1

    I keep hearing this claim. And I always say: Gives me names then. point me to where exactly in the documents he released these names are, then I will believe such a claim. Nobody has taken me up on that challenge yet

  9. Re:Legal tracking. on Careful What You Post, the FBI Has More of These · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Oh, that's easy: Because the government said they could. When you make the laws, you can do whatever you want.

  10. This is the problem with movie rewiewers on Ridley Scott Returns to PKD · · Score: 1

    He's got 2 out of 10 right.

    I mean Paycheck is great, but Blade Runner is trash? I mean Paycheck, great? Really? Was there another version i missed that was good, and if so where can i see it?

    Movie critics are about as useful and accurate as futurists.

  11. Re:Respect on Watch the 1st American Newsreel of Sputnik Launch · · Score: -1, Troll

    I have no respect for this or even what the Americans achieved. The whole frickin space race was nothing but a short sighted political pissing contest that left those whom want to get into space with jack squat, after our leadership realized the Soviet space program was a farce. Because of that political contest we ended up with the pile of manure known as the shuttle program, and wont make it to the moon again for nearly a century after the last time we put foot on it. What a complete waste of resources.

  12. I thought that useless posts were the whole point. on Top Reason for Facebook Unfriending Is Too Many Useless Posts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I mean what else is there on Facebook?

  13. Oh yeah on Visible Light 'X-Ray' Sees Through Solid Objects · · Score: 1

    especially the ones that work in the TSA and homeland security. Yet another way for them to perv out on the job.

  14. Re:Also Videogames on Copyrights and CD-Rs Endanger Audio History · · Score: 1

    I am fine with this. I can't think of a video game made in the past 10 years that was worth playing through more than once.

  15. Re:NoScript FTW on Attack Targets LinkedIn Users With Fake Contact Requests · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That is like saying that you don't understand how people can refuse to have sex with an AIDS infected whore. The internet is a very dangerous place without a lot of protection. A little inconvenience is a good trade off. I don't understand you can be on a place like Slashdot and not see this.

  16. I think we have the wrong idea here on United Nations Names Ambassador To Aliens · · Score: 1

    Instead of eating us, what if their first action is to give us a book titled "How to serve man" ?

  17. Re:innocent until proven guilty on WikiLeaks Founder 'Free To Leave Sweden' · · Score: 1

    No, it mostly because Assange has yet to murder anybody, or steal from them. The one you defend does this on a daily basis.

  18. Re:A Pyrrhic Victory on Simon Singh Talks With Wired About His Libel Battle · · Score: 1

    That's funny. I believe that the only meaning life has is whatever you make of it. The universe is inherently devoid of meaning. I took me till 40 to realize this. The only meaning your life will ever have is whatever it means to you. It will soon be completely forgotten after you die.

  19. Re:No DRM for me on Tensions Rise Between Gamers and Game Companies Over DRM · · Score: 1

    The Problem with Direct2Drive is that they encrypt the main .exes. Not a problem unless you like modding your game. FOSE doesnt work with FO3 D2D version, nor OBSE with oblivion D2D. the steam versions do not suffer from this, plus with most games you can play across multiple machines in offline mode. Mostly didnt like D2D because they mess with the exe file tho. but to each their own

  20. Re:Good Example: GTA4 on Tensions Rise Between Gamers and Game Companies Over DRM · · Score: 1

    Actually, no. Just make a shortcut to the launchgtaiv exe and you dont need steam at all. The rest is just rockstar. Many of thier games work like this. I know FOSE for FO3 and OBSE for Oblivion does, as well as any MMO you purchase through them. Steam is very light drm

  21. Re:Is he bloody stupid? on Tensions Rise Between Gamers and Game Companies Over DRM · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I hearing about this, the death of PC gaming, for years now. People keep spouting PCs are dead platforms for games. BS. Which console was it that had WOW, EVE or Starcraft II? Which System let me buy FO3 GOTY edition for $2.50 and GTA IV for $3.50? Oh wait, that's right, none of them. When Consoles can match my PCs performance (look at Mafia ii PC compared to either console version) or price, then i will look them up.

  22. Re:History Repeating on Narco-Blogger Beats Mexico Drug War News Blackout · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Actually, some people learned quite a bit from prohibition. Mainly: don't let it end, no matter the cost. Now the very evil people that we have made very rich and powerful are spending quite bit of the money they make to ensure that it doesn't end. The ones whom really learned from prohibition are on the wrong side of the war

  23. Re:fuckin a on Narco-Blogger Beats Mexico Drug War News Blackout · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Good luck with that. The money and power these cartels have achieved comes from the fact that it is illegal. You think that they will let that change? And are you foolish enough to believe that our government isn't owned by these same cartels? We are their main source of income, and wall street is their pipeline to Washington. These cartels have proven they are willing to take any measure to keep this going. If a true anti-drug war candidate ever had a serious chance at the oval office, i am sure he would quickly turn up dead.

  24. Re:The scary part on Microsoft's Health-y Patent Appetite · · Score: 1

    I agree with this and think that you shouldn't pay for my health care at all, nor I yours. Too late for that option tho.

  25. Re:And BP owes 75 million? on RIAA Says LimeWire Owes $1.5 Trillion · · Score: 1

    What that means if that the government passed a law to cap the damages that these corporations pay for such actions, which is BS. I think they should be allowed to drill, but should pay for every frickin cent they are liable for. More government work in action
