  1. "No it is not Halo 3" on Bungie News Next Week · · Score: 1

    Halo 4?
    Somebody had to do it...

  2. Re:1-800-555-TELL on Yahoo Accused Of Raiding Workers · · Score: 1

    Whoops ... Yeah. (-1 Idiot) for me.

  3. Let me guess... on New Version of Sony's AIBO Robot Dog Released · · Score: 1, Funny

    You need to keep shoving Sony Memory Sticks up its ass to keep it fed....

  4. 1-800-TELL-ME on Yahoo Accused Of Raiding Workers · · Score: 1

    You mean you can get information? For free? On the phone?
    No way!

    Interestingly enough, this tells us a LOT about what services Yahoo! plans! to! offer! in the future. It was an obvious next service offering, but this lawsuit confirms it.

  5. Here's what you do .... on Owning Your Own IP at a Company? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Take a normal contract ... and put a "NOT!" after each sentence that sounds like it's somehow restricting your rights. Then, at the very end, put "etc. etc. etc.".

  6. Re:WTF? on Xbox Origen Disappointingly Revealed · · Score: 1

    Actually, yes ... yes, I am.

  7. WTF? on Xbox Origen Disappointingly Revealed · · Score: 1

    I couldn't get past the drop-down where it asked what country I was from and it didn't list the USA. WTF?

  8. Re:Hmm on Seattle Axes Monorail Project · · Score: 1

    I see 4 out of the first 5 comments are Simpsons references, once again proving that nobody on Slashdot has a sense of humour to call their own.

    Is yours the fourth or the fifth?

  9. New Slashdot Moderation Feature? on John Romero Back In The Game · · Score: 4, Funny

    Is there any way to moderate the developer mentioned in a story "Overrated"?

  10. Wait wait wait ... I've seen this one! on VirtuSphere Immersive Virtual Reality · · Score: 1

    You roll around trying to roll onto these platforms that shoot out blinding steam when you do ... meanwhile these huge American Gladiators get in your way and make your goals impossibly hard.

  11. One more thing ... on Pre-Selling Domain Names? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Right after you get this whole thing settled, hire a graphics designer to clean up your other linux site.

    One more thing ... what the hell is the current repost delay on Slashdot set at? I just got a message saying that it'd been 4 minutes since my last post, and that I should wait longer. 4 fucking minutes? Let the moderators do their job. Drop the repost timeout. It's completely annoying.

    (Posted un-anonymously ... not because it's an important post ... but so that hopefully this part of the message will get read a couple more times before being modded down.)

  12. Re:Its the NDA between them that was violated on Microsoft In Legal Battle Over Halo 2 Packaging · · Score: 1

    May I suggest a fair jury trial?

    Or how about we save taxpayers another expense and let these companies figure it out themselves.

  13. The best chair I've ever sat in for coding... on Ultimate Software Developer Setup? · · Score: 1

    The best chair I've ever sat on for extended coding sessions is the "Freedom Task Chair". It costs an ass-load of money ... more than any chair should ... but I've never lusted after a piece of furniture like I have with this. I used the one with the headrest at my last consulting gig, and I've been seriously considering replacing the piece of crap I sit on at home with one of those beauties. Perfect back support. Perfect padding. Everything about that thing is the best.

  14. Everybody Loves Hummers on Durable Laptop Suggestions for the Desert? · · Score: 1
  15. Re:I never started playing. on Online Gambling Running Out of Steam · · Score: 2, Funny
    Plus, at home, I don't get scantily-clad babes serving me free drinks
    Don't you mean scantily-clad ancient crones serving free water with a hint of color that might be booze (at least, you hope is some kind of booze because water really shouldn't be that color)?


    "Trent, the beautiful babies don't work the midnight to six shift on a Wednesday. This is like the skank shift."

    Mike
    "Swingers"
  16. Shameless Plug from Pamela's Web Designer on Pornified · · Score: 1

    If anyone wants more info on the book, check out ... Pamela Paul's website ... designed by me.

  17. Re:MySQL is best choice I could ever make on Comparing MySQL and PostgreSQL 2 · · Score: 1

    Just curious ... what kind of system did all of that?

  18. Got It! on LGP Announces New Competition · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's called "Email Address Farmer" and the goal is to collect as many email addresses from contest submitters as possible to be used for marketing in the future. Seems the game only lasts 15 days or so ... but after that, the real fun begins.

  19. Re:Long time justice on Chief Justice Rehnquist Dies at 80 · · Score: 1, Informative

    phamNewan ... meet hyperlink.

    And actually since Rehnquist was already conservative, Bush's nomination probably won't have a tremendous impact from how Rehnquist had sided on most issues.

  20. Re:Umm.... on My Life As An Online Gamer · · Score: 1

    "I've got to the stage where I feel that without gaming, I have nothing interesting to do."

    I think that quote basically says it all. I don't have any problem with gaming ... it's fun. Lots of people love to do it. I do it sometimes too. But the fact that this guy games so much that he has detached from the rest of life to the point that he feels there's nothing else to do tells me that he's probably missing out on some other great things in life. Is it his perogative to do so? Sure. I'm just glad it's not me.

  21. Umm.... on My Life As An Online Gamer · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "I think I am addicted."

    I think you're in denial. The fact that you included the words "I think" in there was the first clue. Dude, 5-7 hours of gaming a day? 15 on the weekend? Seriously ... get some help.

  22. Return to Earth in 50,000 years? on Send your name to Pluto · · Score: 1

    Haha... That's a good one. Earth still around in 50,000 years.

  23. Re:54,537 songs in one weekend? on Crunching the Math On iTunes · · Score: 1
    The songs were from the same genre and artist and were changed to be only one second in duration.
    • Now if we can just convince the rest of the mainstream artists to follow this convention.

  24. Windowsz .... Enchances ... on How Voice Enhances Life Online · · Score: 1

    Okay, I can see a slip of the finger where Windows was typed as "Windowsz", but the "c" isn't anywhere near the "n" or the "h"!

  25. The pricing scam I don't follow... on Piracy Not To Blame In Decline of Moviegoers · · Score: 1

    I still don't see why theatres gouge you over using the online ticket purchase service. Sure, there's a cost for them to run that, and they can bill it as the expense for your convenience ... but long-term, we're actually streamlining their operation. Guaranteeing them filled seats, and decreasing the need for additional ticket salespeople. Why must they slap another $1 or $1.50 onto the ticket (other then the 'because they can' reason)?

    F 'em.
