  1. Re:True, for the most part... on HDMI Brands Don't Matter · · Score: 0

    Those would be awesome. The signal arrives at the tv before you change the channel.

  2. Re:Yeah... on High Performance Gaming Mice Don't Perform · · Score: 0

    I played a WOTLK arca mage. PvE required two to four buttons. PvP, I mapped around 19 commands to a 5 button mouse using ctrl and shift as modfiers.took a while to get used to, but once I did it helped massively in arena. Spent about three evenings three way duelling with my two housemates in gurabashi to get used to all the mapping.

  3. so, on Final Fantasy XIII-2 Announced · · Score: 0

    Square hasn't learned its lesson from X-2?
    They need to focus on that Ps3 FFVII remake that makes fanboys wet even now, years after the teaser.

  4. I call movie rights. on Sharks Seen Swimming Down Australian Streets · · Score: 0

    I call movie rights.

  5. Re:What about AltaVista? on Google vs. Bing — a Quasi-Empirical Study · · Score: 0

    Dogpile used to have this awesome ftp search..

  6. Re:I just want Google on my check on Google Pushes New Chrome Release, Pays $14k Bounty · · Score: 0

    At this point, I'm pretty happy to have seen a Knuth check in reality. Owning one is a long term career goal.

  7. Re:Kindle is a great example on Book Piracy — Less DRM, More Data · · Score: 0

    I would never be able to run my battletech campaigns anymore if I needed to find a legitimate print copy of all the sourcebooks I have worn through. Like you say, its not as good as having the book at hand but it is still better than not having it at all.

  8. ugh on The Logical Leap: Induction In Physics · · Score: 0, Troll

    Philosophy should keep its grubby hands away from physics.

  9. Re:Just make sure to not talk about Zimbabwe on Some WikiLeaks Contributions To Public Discourse · · Score: 0

    Ends, means, something about justification. I don't remember which way that swings.

  10. This doesnt sound like a leak. on US Government Strategy To Prevent Leaks Is Leaked · · Score: 0

    This sounds like a reassuring statement issued by the US, trying to say "look, We did have a problem, this is how we're fixing it" rather than a leak.
    I cant see any negative side effect of the general public knowing that they plan to be more careful selecting who can see their their secret information.

  11. Re:Dude. on Congresswoman and Staff Gunned Down · · Score: 0

    I have learned to not read comments on news sites. Slashdot excepted.

  12. Re:Magnetic/Spin Axis Confusion on Magnetic Pole Shift Affects Tampa Airport · · Score: 0

    I was thinking that. Someone got their poles crossed.

  13. I dont know about you guys.. on Magnetic Pole Shift Affects Tampa Airport · · Score: 0

    I don't know about you guys, but I'm buying a good compass, mounting it somewhere immovable, marking north and watching to see if there is any visible change by next year. At the very least it will make straightening out my satellite dish an easier job if i have a compass nearby.

  14. 2.2250738585072011e-308 on PHP Floating Point Bug Crashes Servers · · Score: 0

    2.2250738585072011e-308 is a pretty specific number, is the bug just associated with this number or are there more potential floats out there waiting to be found?

  15. For nine billion Euro on Crowdfund a Moon Monolith Mission? · · Score: 0

    "For nine billion Euro we could have written 'Fuck off Germany' on the moon." -Frankie Boyle

  16. Re:some dalek's were invited to the wedding on Doctor Marries Doctor's Daughter, TARDIS Explodes · · Score: 0

    Oh. I guess I deserve the bad karma for getting that wrong then.

  17. Re:examples... on Zynga and Blizzard Sued Over Game Patent · · Score: 0

  19. Re:some dalek's were invited to the wedding on Doctor Marries Doctor's Daughter, TARDIS Explodes · · Score: 0

    Typically you do use the apostrophe to pluralise if leaving it out would cause some ambiguity. That's my understanding of it at least.

  20. As someone else pointed out on Will Facebook Become the Net's SSO? · · Score: 1

    the answer to practically every question phrased like this is no.

  21. Re:Take it from an architecture major... on Swedish Firm Proposes City Buildings On Rails · · Score: 1

    Architects draw curves. Engineers straighten them. (My old structural engineering lecturer's favorite line)

  22. Umbrella Corp on Goldman Invests $450m In Facebook · · Score: 1

    Didn't Goldman Sachs invest in Umbrella Corp?

  23. Re:Just wait. on Amazon Censorship Expands · · Score: 1

    "the Bible would be rated NC-17 "

    Thats nothing, during the late 60's there was a show on TV that had the first interracial kiss. It was rated NCC-1701

    This post just made my day. Thank you, AC.

  24. I use laptops in class. on Should Colleges Ban Classroom Laptop Use? · · Score: 1

    I'm a regular classroom laptop user. Since I'm studying software development, I think its a bit more acceptable than if I were studying, say, physics.

  25. Re:First post on 4chan Has Been DDOSed · · Score: 1

    I've vaguely lurked for about 6 years. If I'd known UID's were considered important I would probably have registered a bit earlier rather than waiting for last week. The only reason I actually registered was to fiddle with the hidden/abbreviated/full slider.
