  1. Re:All I have to say on 'Metal Gear' Symbian OS Trojan Disables Anti-Virus · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of a visit to 'Rilpleys Believe it or not'.
    Every one of the earlier inventions (flying cars, candy makers, etc.) Played music. Some of them may have even worked properly if they didn't have to lug around a pipe organ as well.

    There's these 3 blokes (Yank with a broke arm, Pom on crutches, and an Aussie with a bad back) in the pub having a drink.

    The yank goes up to the bar to buy a round and the bartender says "You see that guy at the end there? Thats Jesus"
    The Yank says "Godamn if it aint, get one for him while your at it!"

    A short time later the Pom goes up to the bar and the bartender tells him about the distinguished guest.
    The Pom said "Good lord, so it is, make sure the good chap has a fresh drink will you"


    Then its the Aussies turn, same deal, Jesus up the end,
    "No shit mate" give him a pot of ya best.


    Not long after that, Jesus finishes his drinks and heads over to the 3 at the table
    "You 3 have shown generosity and kindness when obviously you have dificulties of you own, so I would like to do something for you"

    He then touches the Yank on the head and his cast falls off, arm fixed.
    He touches the Pom on the head and his legs are fixed.
    He reaches out for the Aussie who jumps up screaming

    "Dont touch me!!! I'm on compo!!"

  5. Re:Well he fucking *killed* someone! on Home Defense, Geek Style? · · Score: 1
    To think that wounded pride and a car is worth someone's life just boggles my imagination. Seriously, you think that's ok?


    in a word....YES.

    What gives anyone the right to cause someone else to constantly live in fear. The shopkeeper has a right to attend his business without the fear that he will be looking down the barrel of some assholes gun, again. just as I have the right to keep what I have worked hard for, if some parasite whats to try and take it from me, I will not hesitate to use whatever force I see fit.


    when it is a question of whos rights should be upheld, the person who decided to live outside of the rules of society has no right to expect those rules to help them, no matter how fucked-up or dead they get.

    You've got to admit that the innuendo in that headline is... um... somewhat unsubtle.

    The disc size is 12cm, comparable to that of a DVD and a CD.

    I compared it to a do-nut and a coffee stain and it did well there too.

  13. Re:Major Problem on The Trouble With Using D&D Rules In Videogames? · · Score: 1

    It still doesn't tell how Advanced Dungeons and Dragons is different from regular Dungeons and Dragons. I've asked around and no one knows. I'm starting to think nerds just made it up to sound smart.

    The original D&D was a single book, A4 size of about 50 pages. There were 4 Character types, Fighter, Cleric, Magic User, and Thief. The maximum level achievable was 5 (I think).

    Then came the Dungeon Masters Guide (in about 1980), holly shit that thing had about 200 pages, and just for the DM. The Players Handbook and Monster Manual came soon after and a whole new dimension of playing came to life.

    Given all the creative types on slashdot, I'm sure we could have a script working within the afternoon, in all the main distributions by the end of the week and Microsoft finally bannished within the month.

    note: Do not under any circumstances, install Secretary With Skirt 3.3. This is not a supported application; in fact it is a deadly virus for Wife 1.0 and is likely to cause irreversible damage to the operating system.

    A little known law here (in Oz) is that it is illegal to import anything with a copyrighted symbol on it without the written permission of the said copyright holder in writing. It COULD be used to stop the xbox coming here, but thankfully the manpower need to enforce such a law is not available.
