  1. Re:2/3 is... on California Microsoft Settlement · · Score: 1

    $367 in CASH. The rest could be in free Microsoft products. Yay for reading skills.

  2. It explains why... on Build Your Own Gauss Pistol · · Score: 1

    Gauss looks evil. I suggest that he knew that his math theories would eventually be used for cool weaponry.

  3. Warp Pipe? on Warp Pipe Project - GameCube Online · · Score: 3, Funny

    Didn't Tommy Chong (of "Cheech and Chong" and "That 70s Show" fame) just get arrested for selling those?

  4. Re:Rise of the Machines on Robot Balloon Escapes In Britain · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually, both happened at the same center! They really need to have a better system of keeping track of their robots!

  5. Nethack on Gaming Site Reviews.. Real Life? · · Score: 4, Funny

    And yet, real life STILL doesn't have as many features as Nethack.

  6. Solution! on Howard Dean to Guest Blog for Lawrence Lessig · · Score: 1

    Vote ficus!

  7. The IDSA Paradox on Courts Block Washington Violent Game Law · · Score: 4, Interesting

    IDSA: We don't like piracy!
    Slashdot: Boooo!
    IDSA: We like violent video games!
    Slashdot: Yay!
    So... do we like IDSA?

  8. Is 28 Days Later a remake? on Nobel Prize Winners on Sci-Fi Flicks · · Score: 2, Informative

    Vincent Price's "The Last Man on Earth" released some time in the 60s-70s had virtually the same exact plotline: disease infects all of mankind, and Price is immune. Except the infected aren't zombies. They're vampires. It was a crappy movie, but somewhat affecting. So... can anyone answer this? Was Boyle merely influenced by this classic? Or is it a total rip-off?

  9. Re:Can I buy ROMs? on KnoppiXMAME 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Because they rerelease the games later. Look at Sega Smash Pack for Dreamcast (and PC, if memory serves me correct) -- a bunch of Genesis games emulated. Or the various Namco Arcade Packs. Just because it isn't sold NOW, it doesn't mean that it's theirs.

  10. Re:Ok but first... on Working with ADHD? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You are most certainly incorrect, my friend. ADHD is a neurological disorder and those tasks do not require true concentration -- just a form of "zoning out." They are non-chemical stimulants, exactly what caffeine does chemically. In fact, Ritalin is very close to cocaine in chemical composition -- and is a stimulant, just like your proposed caffeine. So, I'm no doctor, but I certainly can offer something along the way of non-useless pseudo-advice.

  11. Well, it's hard to say. on Working with ADHD? · · Score: 0, Funny

    Being ADHD has made my very difficult and arduous in even doing the most simple of ta-- ooh! A butterfly! Whee!!!

  12. Oh, great. on Contactless Credit Cards · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Now ID thiefs don't have to even swipe my card! They can just wave it in the air. Thanks a bundle for another great contribution to my life.

  13. Forcing open source upon someone... on Oregon's Open Source Bill Stalled by Microsoft · · Score: 0

    Is like fucking for chastity. Or fighting for peace. Just missing the point, you know?

  14. Forcing open source... on Oregon's Open Source Bill Stalled by Microsoft · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Is like fucking for chastity. (or fighting for peace, if that's your bag.)

  15. An earlier comic source of geeky goodness. on Old-school Nerdy Comics · · Score: 2, Informative

    What about the old issues of The Incredible Hulk when Rick Jones used his Ham radio to gather "The Teen Brigade" assist the Hulk in times of need? You might want to check out Incredible Hulk #6 for quite possibly the first truly geek comic reference. (Google yielded this as a place to read about it -- check out the bottom of the page.)

  17. This is simple! on The Future of Leap Seconds · · Score: 1

    GMT is evil! Cubic time is only real time. Ask Gene Ray!

  18. Gene advances. on Genome Surprise · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    It's really not too hard to get a superior human race. Just don't let stupid or fat people procreate. Darwin didn't need any of them gene therapies to figure that one out.
    (Sorry, I must have offended most /. readers with that one. Don't worry... you'll be allowed to procreate!)

  19. This is all fine and dandy but... on Yet Another Anti-Spam Bill In U.S. Senate · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Well, we (the collective /. crowd, myself included) seem to be in favor of an anti-spam bill. However, we're polarized against the RIAA, another group dedicated to stopping an quasi-illegal act (music theft, if you can call it that). Now, I'm not saying that the RIAA is justified in their methods or anything, but if they are violating first amendment rights, certainly an anti-spam bill would violate said rights. Can someone explain this to me? Because there are certainly moral ambiguities for both issues.

  20. Great plan! on Fishing for Ideas · · Score: 4, Funny

    Step 1: Give idea to Microsoft.
    Step 2: ???
    Step 3: Profit!

  21. Re:Fanboy? on Serial SCSI Standard Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Don't you mean Sk8rboi? Ha'doi!

  22. Ten years later... on Google buys Pyra Labs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    On slashdot.org, there will roughly 100 posts per day claiming that Google is "the evil empire." It's a rule. Commercial success and non-Open-Source-itude (I'm allowed to make up words here.) are considered evil on the /. boards. So before you guys go all crazy about how Google's assimilating every company are being evil and all (and undoubtedly citing the Scientology debacle, no less), just remember this: ultimately, the quality of the product matters.

  23. My new storage measurement designed for Slashdot: on Ferroelectric Storage Density Tops 20KDVDs/Cubit^2 · · Score: 0

    Goatse.cx and "frist posts" per story. Right now, we've surpassed 1.4 trillion. Take that, Japan!

  24. Can you imagine... on More 3D Printer News · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    If we had a beowulf cluster of these?

  25. OS 9 or OS X? on The Humane Environment · · Score: 2

    Well, despite what the website says, it's only booting up under the Classic environment for me. So I guess Carbon implementation isn't finished yet. Ah well.
