  1. Re:HELL YES on Fixing That Old Game System · · Score: 1

    *shoots Wumpus* :P

  2. Re:Aren't we missing something? on Fixing That Old Game System · · Score: 1

    Thank you SO much for making me recall the pain in the ass process I've endured to play my NES games :P

    I think the most painful moment I've endured was when I was playing an RPG cart with a battery (Dragon Warrior 3, I believe) and I tried to get it to work, only to be greeted by "Regretfully, SAVE GAME (1-3) has been erased." X(

    Granted that I've had that with Zelda and other games, I had already beaten those games so it didn't hurt as much.

  3. Re:So.... on US Army Testing Robots with Shotguns · · Score: 1

    If stupidity weren't painful, people would have no incentive to quit being stupid.

    I definitely agree there...too bad sometimes even that doesn't deter people.

  4. Re:Short Circuit on US Army Testing Robots with Shotguns · · Score: 1

    Oh great, an army of mechanical soldiers rolling across the battlefield spouting 'Johnny 5 is alive!' in bad 80's synth.

    "Disassemble?! No disassemble!!" :P

  5. Re:So.... on US Army Testing Robots with Shotguns · · Score: 1

    Gee, what's a better option? Having machines do the dirty work in a hostile environment, or having people die viciously for "the great cause"?

    Granted that most people starting the war wouldn't do the dirty work, but using robots isn't necessarily cowardice, thats just strategic.

  6. Ultimate LAN Party!! on US Army Testing Robots with Shotguns · · Score: 1

    One thing for sure,they would make ONE HELL of a LAN party!! Of course, you'd have to incorporate some wireless commmunications between laptops and the robot, but that would RULE! :D

  7. Re:New NRA slogan on US Army Testing Robots with Shotguns · · Score: 5, Funny

    More like...

    "Guns don't kill people, mecha-manical robots do!!" ;)

  8. Re:The Oldest Slashdotting.. on Electoral-vote.com Under Heavy Load; Attack? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Political zerg.

    Yeas, but can your zergs handle my 133t army of Protoss Zealots? :P

  9. Re:Slashdot stress test on Election Day Discussion · · Score: 1

    Try the attack on Iraq - 4183 comments (including -1 posts)

  10. Hey come on! on Election Day Discussion · · Score: 1

    I can joke about the election as much as the next person, but at least have some composure, people!

    That being said, let's hope there aren't any shennagans with the outcome this time like in 2000 :P

  11. Forgetting something?? on Precursor to Doom Racks Up 30 years of Fragging · · Score: 1

    How can anyone forget THIS classic??

    I mean, how can one not recognize the power of "YOUR HEAD A SPLODE!"

  12. Re:Too fast... on TCCBOOT Compiles And Boots Linux In 15 Seconds · · Score: 1

    Eventually we're going to spend 24 hours a day staring at the screens because there'll be no excuse at all for leaving the screen.

    Dude, you just described a typical LAN party! (Oh, and don't you even dare say they bathe in the interim, the stench proves otherwise! :P)

  13. Re:More theories? on Thinking About the SnitchCam · · Score: 1

    To be fair, if they had that technology back then, it probably would've shown that JFK shot first! ;)

  14. New Meaning on Google Used to ID Hit-And-Run Victim · · Score: 4, Funny

    I guess that puts a new meaning to Google's "Don't be evil" slogan. =)

  15. Re:Novell buying SuSE could be the best thing for on SUSE 9.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Of course we wouldn't try this on dialup, but tell me this...which is more painful? A network install of Linux over dial-up...or installing a huge Linux distribution with floppies?! Mwahahaha!! >:)

  16. Re:Novell buying SuSE could be the best thing for on SUSE 9.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Well, even though they we're stingy on the ISO downloads for a while (I avoided them like the plague then), I've installed 9.1 and I've been really impressed so far.

    Failing that, wouldn't it have been possible to perform an FTP or HTTP install? I know many distributions let you do it now, but I'm not too sure about then.

  17. Dang... on SUSE 9.2 Released · · Score: 1

    And I just got the Linux Technical Resource kit, based on SuSE 9.1 :P

    Although I havent had a chance to really play with it and they aren't accepting orders anymore, it's really an interesting display of what Novell has to bring to the table as far as SuSE and their other products are concerned :)

    Well, there's always this weekend if I don't suddenly get a life ;)

  18. Re:Quitting?-Sex on Coffee is Addictive · · Score: 1

    So how do you quit sex?

    Somehow, I don't think that'll be of any concern here, just look at who you're referring to. :P

  19. Re:sold down the river on Blizzard Stomps Bnetd in DMCA Case · · Score: 1

    Because playing a video game is more important than world wars.

    Wrong. That isn't the point the parent was making, although you would like to claim it was. The point is, if you don't like what the fuck is going on, do something to change it, don't just bitch about it.

    But hey, nice troll there.

  20. Re:Don't upgrade on Firefox 0.10.1 Released, Fixes Security Hole · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I would consider this a feature more than a bug. It's like someone breaking into your house and taking out the garbage for you...

    Or for most of us, it would mean someone breaking into your house, shreding your porno mags, demagnetizing the VHS porn, and scratching and shredding the DVD porn...bastards! :P

  21. Re:Cool. Upgrade Path on Firefox 0.10.1 Released, Fixes Security Hole · · Score: 1

    While I agree with you that upgrades on linux should be handled by their respective package managers, we still have to account for versions for those little operating systems called Windows and MacOSX :)

    In those cases, I can't see why they couldn't still retain their updating schemes, hell, Norton programs, among others, have update programs built in.

  22. Re:Helpful bug on Firefox 0.10.1 Released, Fixes Security Hole · · Score: 1

    For a second, I thought you said your download directory was in the Windows folder. I about to say, that's a lot of tidying up there :)

    Though I recommend cleaning your desktop yourself, you lazy bastard :P

  23. Re:Bananas on Keeping Microsoft Happy · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually, I would think that this was more like monkey business ;)

    As opposed to Steve Balmer who just jumps and dances around like one. :D

  25. Re:FAA? on Auto Accident at SANE Conference Kills One · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Oh fuck off, it's one thing to say you don't cry over every single death that occurs, it's completely different when people are making jokes, stupid ass jokes at that, and acting like jackasses over it
