  1. Re:Not about bargin bin on Anger With Game Content Lock Spurs Reaction From Studio Head Curt Shilling · · Score: 1

    If I bought a crap game for $60 and only got a couple of weeks out of it, I'd want mre than $8 residual value. Why do people buy sucky games for such prices?

  2. Re:So what? on DOJ Investigates Google, Apple, and Others For 'No Poaching' Agreement · · Score: 1

    Ugh. That saying has been around for at least 30 years. My guess would be that it originates in the car repair industry, so it could be 100 years or more.

    Oh, and Tebow is not original either.

  3. Re:Four-Thirds is the Way on Ask Slashdot: Mirrorless, Interchangeable Lens Camera Advice? · · Score: 1

    Image quality is proportional to sensor size. There is no "best" compromise any more than there is a car out there that is "best" some people find a compact (car or camera) more convenient, resulting in more good photos purely by availability.

    The maxim: the best camera is the one you have on hand when you need to take the shot. Sometimes that is your phone, sometimes you've got something that doesn't fit in you pocket.

  4. Don't drive a hybrid either? on Ask Slashdot: Mirrorless, Interchangeable Lens Camera Advice? · · Score: 1

    This is a nonsense question. The car analogy is like saying you don't have the technical knowledge to drive a hybrid. There is no special knowledge required to use a DSLR... other than perhaps being careful when changing the lense (which mirrorless share).

    Even the last (non digital) SLR generations had full auto modes and a full suite of scene modes, just like a compact.

  5. Re:no win war on Tensions Over Hormuz Raise Ugly Possibilities For War · · Score: 1

    And 18-24 yo children can't vote, can they Mr Perry?

  6. Re:It's probably the best time to rattle sabers... on Tensions Over Hormuz Raise Ugly Possibilities For War · · Score: 1

    Anti-Israel (ie. against the actions of the current Israeli government) is not anti-Semite. Plenty of Israelis are against these actions of their government also.

  7. Re:Suicide boats is not Iran's primary weapon on Tensions Over Hormuz Raise Ugly Possibilities For War · · Score: 1

    So quick to turn to war crimes again.

  8. Re:Gee, maybe U.S. shouldn't try to steal oil on Tensions Over Hormuz Raise Ugly Possibilities For War · · Score: 1

    You are easily fooled. Even the stupidest politician knows to do what their corporate backers tell them to do.

  9. Re:Part of the problem on EA, Nintendo, Sony Quietly Withdraw SOPA Support · · Score: 1

    Try a little harder. You may feel better about yourself. Cheap ground beef leaving a bad taste in your mind? Make yourself a lentil burger instead! Latest AAA leave you hollow? Play a cheap Indie game!

    A lot of how you enjoy something comes from higher-level thoughts. And besides, lentils and Terraria are delicious!

  10. Better than Godaddy on EA, Nintendo, Sony Quietly Withdraw SOPA Support · · Score: 1

    I respect a silent withdrawal more than Godaddy's self-congratulatory noisy one.

  11. 256 bytes including the interpreter? on Vision and Sound From the Ideally Bare Numeric Impression giZmo · · Score: 2

    Otherwise, a SPORE creature save file is a better "demo". (note, must install interpreter...)

  12. Re:Obligatory on Go Daddy Reverses Course On SOPA · · Score: 1

    Huh? How is a wife an example of a car?

  13. Re:Here is the future: on Russia Botches Another Rocket Launch · · Score: 1

    A somehow-independent human colony buried 1 km underground on Earth would be in a safer, cheaper, more easily reached location than anywhere known in space, and would survive any war/famine/pestilence.

    Terraforming the Earth from its state in 2100 will be easier than any other known location.

    Space is no solution to our problems.

  14. Re:so is that criminal, then? on YouTube Says UMG Had No 'Right' To Take Down Megaupload Video · · Score: 1

    They cannot be jailed, but they can be executed.

  15. Re:Superoptimal?? on Ask Slashdot: Good Metrics For a Small IT Team? · · Score: 0

    Well, for example, working 18 hours days is above optimal. Is this so hard for younger retards than me to work out?

  16. Re:Now these guys have some balls on Iran Wants To Clone Downed US Drone · · Score: 1

    The US requires it to declare war before any such action, so no, the aggressor may also call it an act of war.

  17. Re:Discarded road signs on UK Police Test 'Temporarily Blinding' LASER · · Score: 1

    More theoretical use than a mirror (which would a most deliver 1/4 the power to the shooter), but I doubt they are that efficient.

  18. Re:This tech could have saved a lot of Iraqis on UK Police Test 'Temporarily Blinding' LASER · · Score: 1

    The US claimed the danger was that these people were suspected suicide bombers. A blind bomber in a car is still a bomber in a car. This tech is useless for this. Don't use a laser where a simple GATE will do.

  19. Re:What is with the UK and all this surveillance a on UK Police Test 'Temporarily Blinding' LASER · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is not useful against protesters. The police use pepper spray on protestors to hurt and punish, not to protect themselves. A peaceful protestor siting with their arms linked can just close their eyes.

  20. Re:Hello, spell check needed... on Facebook Could Spawn Thousands of Milionaires · · Score: 1

    Reuters, not Retuers too...

  21. Re:From someone that lives in the Silicon Valley on Facebook Could Spawn Thousands of Milionaires · · Score: 1

    I suspect what he is trying to say is that he stayed with what others would call a "starter home" and paid it off then invested elsewhere, while others instead kept "trading up" are so never owning more than 30-40% of their home, such that when property prices collapsed their equity was zero as their house value only covers the remaining debt on it.

    Even if it was because of "hitting big" one time, the point remains to solidify those gains, not use them to leverage yourself to live yet further above your means.

  22. Re:simple on Facebook Could Spawn Thousands of Milionaires · · Score: 1

    Buy from who? A seller. Sell to who? A buyer.

  23. Re:Holy crap! on Iranian TV Shows Downed US Drone · · Score: 1

    Colour is not the only property of a surface, you diffuse doofus.

  24. Re:Not questionable at all on Red Cross Debates If Virtual Killing Violates International Humanitarian Law · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Are we so poor at reading quotation marks and understanding words like "virtual" that the Daily Mail can upset us?

  25. Re:credibility on Red Cross Debates If Virtual Killing Violates International Humanitarian Law · · Score: 0

    Why don't you go find out? Or do you like being a ranting redneck dimwit so much you'd rather stay ignorant?
