  1. Re:Steam link on Kick-started Remake of Leisure Suit Larry Now On Sale · · Score: 1

    If you read the comments in the Community Hub the Linux version is there and can be installed, it's just not advertised on the Steam page yet.

  2. Re:Cheat Codes on Kick-started Remake of Leisure Suit Larry Now On Sale · · Score: 1

    Actually - yes, he did.

    Ctrl + Alt + X and you're (still) in...

  3. You don't say? on Richard III Suffered an Ignominious Burial, Researchers Find · · Score: 0
  4. Re:That's not junk DNA on Carnivorous Plant Ejects Junk DNA · · Score: 2

    Nah, I'm pretty sure it's intrusive ads all the way down...

    That plant just got it's leaves on a copy of DNAdBlock.

  5. Re:I don't want on Adobe's Creative Cloud Illustrates How the Cloud Costs You More · · Score: 1

    You'll probably be happy to hear then that they added a user-configurable rate limiter into the latest Steam client update...

  6. Re:I think those two games on Activision, Raven Release 2 Star Wars Games Under GPL · · Score: 1

    Errr... Star Control 2?

  7. Re:Hmm... on Fantastic js1k Submissions · · Score: 1

    Don't forget Debris, which at a moderate 197kB beat a lot of multi-megabyte sized other demos at Breakpoint 2007...

    Also, it comes with full source.

  8. Re:".vermögensberater"? on ICANN Reveals Regional Winners of New gTLDs · · Score: 2

    Yeah, I just threw up in my mouth a little when I read that - and I speak German as my first language and thought I could stomach everything.

    Of all the words they could have chosen it absolutely has to be the sleaziest one besides "Anwalt"?

    (No wait, "financial advisor" in this day and age might even surpass "lawyer" as the sleaziest one...)

  9. Re: Great time to be a blind tadpole on Scientists Transplant Functional Eyes On the Tails of Tadpoles · · Score: 1

    I take it then that Google Ass isn't gonna be much of a success?

    np: Bauchklang - Expo (Live In Mumbai)

  10. Re:Slashvertisement on The Atlantic's Scientology Advertorial · · Score: 1

    When does slashdot run ads for crack cocaine?

    My god man - how can you say that so callously? I just ordered my twenty-seventh Raspberry Pi board - this month!

    Insensitive clod.

    I know those boards are small and tasty and all, but... did nobody tell you that you're not supposed to eat them?

  11. Re:It that a huge on Kingston Introduces 1TB Flash Drive · · Score: 1

    ...an 8GB vibrator?

    (Probably the wrong demographic for /. ... :P)

  12. Can't choose just one... on Ask Slashdot: What Was Your Favorite Web Comic of 2012? · · Score: 1

    I can't decide on a single best webcomic, so that would be either Subnormality, Wapsi Square or Sequential Art.

    Funniest would be either Girls With Slingshots, Two Guys and Guy or Shit Happens! (yeah, sorry - it's in German only).

    Best art is again either Subnormality, Zebra Girl or Power Nap.

    And the most relevant comic to me in 2012 definitely was Wapsi Square, the first thing I check in the morning after getting up (also going by the amount of prints I bought)...

    Honorable mentions: Hobotopia, Bear Nuts, Modest Medusa, Flaky Pastry and Hate Farm.

    np: Louie Austen - Never & Ever (What A Comeback!)

  13. Re:The Perry Bible Fellowship on Ask Slashdot: What Was Your Favorite Web Comic of 2012? · · Score: 1

    Finally someone who mentioned Subnormality... *phew*

  14. Re:Inheritance on Defending the First Sale Doctrine · · Score: 2

    Except that was a hoax:

    "Updated 3:40 p.m ET.

    Reports that veteran Hollywood actor Bruce Willis is reportedly looking to take on Apple in a bid to pass on his vast music collection to his children after his death have been disputed. The claims, which were originally reported by The Daily Mail have been debunked by Willis' wife via Twitter."

  15. Re:HR will be HR on The Trials and Tribulations of a Would-Be Facebook Employee · · Score: 1

    Didn't HR get their asses handed to them by Elias last time I looked?

  16. Re:Article too long, let me save you some time on New Theory About the Source of Pioneer Space Probe Deceleration · · Score: 1

    It's thermal recall force from heat generated by components on Pioneer.

    Thermal recall? Are you sure it's not "total recoil" instead?

    np: Kettel & Secede - Canned Forever (When Can)

  17. Re:Why mention Schoenberg? on Why Dissonant Music Sounds 'Wrong' · · Score: 1

    I like Boards of Canada (wherever did they disappear to anyway?), but to be honest I like Autechre even more...

  18. Re:It is ~4,000 lines on LG's 84-inch 3840 x 2160 Television Doesn't Come Cheap: $17,000 · · Score: 1

    Except in analog TV land lines really meant horizontal resolution, since the vertical resolution was fixed anyway...

  19. Next up: no more homework on Parent Questions Mandatory High School Chemistry · · Score: 1
  20. Re:Fixed the Title on Steam Protocol Opens PCs to Remote Code Execution · · Score: 1

    Considering that URL handlers are executed by just about any browser on Windows and it's Safari and other Webkit-based ones that silently execute URL handlers instead of asking the user for confirmation - what's with the fixation on Firefox?

  21. Re:Why is this even on Slashdot on Steam Protocol Opens PCs to Remote Code Execution · · Score: 2

    Except that here they're using the ability to pass command line options to source engine games started via the steam URL handler to create their log file in a certain location with a certain name (like "foo.bat" in the startup folder) then using the echo command via the same URL parameter to log anything they want into that file - and I'm pretty sure a batch file containing "del /s c:\" in there won't be very much appreciated the next time the user logs on...

  22. Re:It was blown away in a Megablast. on Where Has All the Xenon Gone? · · Score: 1

    Them, and Bomb the Bass...

  23. Re:Nothing new on Are Commercial Games Finally Going To Make It To Linux? · · Score: 1

    These guys have been running since 2000. They not only sell commercial games ported to Linux, they do some of the porting themselves.

    "These guys" are selling pre-orders for Unreal Tournament 3 for Linux?

    Considering it's not going to ever happen that's borderline customer fraud...

    Might want to tell that to their founder.

  24. Re:The Doctor's Wife on Hugo Awards Live Stream Cut By Copyright Enforcement Bot · · Score: 1

    Is nothing sacred?

    What, you mean like Mrs. Columbo?

    Nope.

  25. Re:I disagree; Bill is an idiot. on Bill "The Science Guy" Nye Says Creationism Is Not Appropriate For Children · · Score: 1

    I see what you did there.

    So? He did what you see there - beat that!

    np: Seefeel - Vex (Succour)
