  1. Sid Meyer's Alpha Centauri on India Joins China in Censoring Websites · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Beware he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master"

    - Pravin Lal

  2. Re:Comon Sense Tips For Today's Youth on Patriot Act Bypasses Facebook Privacy · · Score: 2, Funny

    No, that's rule 5.

    Rule 4 is ???

  3. Thanks. I was thinking of a different game on New Eternal Darkness Titles Promised · · Score: 1

    For some reason, as I was reading this, I kept thinking that they were talking about Heart of Darkness

  4. This is wrong on Xbox 360 Wins Through 2009? · · Score: 1

    The last console that I ever owned was a Sega Genesis and I am planning on buying a Wii.

  5. Wait a minute on Judge Calls SCO On Lack of Evidence · · Score: 2, Funny

    This case is still going on?

    I thought SCO lost a long time ago.

  6. Re:Exactly why I don't bother with eBay ... on How to Win on Ebay: Snipe · · Score: 1

    Hey, show me a website with the incredible range of obscure shit that ebay has with all fixed prices and I'm there.

  7. Exactly why I don't bother with eBay ... on How to Win on Ebay: Snipe · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ... unless the item has a 'Buy It Now' button.

  8. One-eyed alien? on Futurama Returns · · Score: 1

    "Good news everyone! Straight from a one-eyed alien's mouth"

    What one-eyed alien? I don't remember any one-eyed alien on Futurama.

    A one-eyed mutant maybe, but no alien.

  9. Re:So what? on Library Chief Criticized for Requiring Subpoena · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The problem here is the reaction of her superiors on the library board who apparently believed she should have given the police whatever they wanted without question.

  10. Re:The first on U.S. Government to Adopt IPv6 in 2008 · · Score: 1

    Thank you very fucking much. That brought my high from seeing this news down pretty damn quick.

  11. Re:Propagandhi? on EFF Gets Animated About DRM with The Corruptibles · · Score: 1

    If the RIAA were to put out something like this, it would be (rightly) referred to as propaganda.

    You mean kind of like that inane 'Matrix' themed cartoon that the RIAA put out a couple years ago?

  12. Electronic format is great... on All D&D Books To Be Available As PDFs · · Score: 1

    ...but I don't know about PDFs. Direct dead-tree to electronic conversion isn't all that great an idea for any kind of reference book, especially this kind. It would be better if there were some kind of specialized interface where you could look up specific rules at a glance. Drop-down menus with subcategories to bring up any information you want.

  13. Yeah on Microsoft Says Vista Most Secure OS Ever · · Score: 1

    It's so secure that even the owner of the computer can't control it.

  14. One thing I don't like about DL on Dragon's Lair Remastered in HD · · Score: 1

    One thing I didn't like about Dragon's Lair was that if you died a couple times at the same place, the game would automatically bypass that scene. I understand that it was done that way because the designers knew that people would be standing around watching and they wanted people to be able to see as much of the game as possible, but they should have put in some way to turn that feature off.

  15. I have to wonder on Intel To Slash Prices Up To 60% · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I have to wonder how Intel is going to rationalize it when people STILL choose AMD over Intel.

  16. Re:I think... on A Working 5D Rubik's Cube · · Score: 1

    Nooo.... it's because we don't live in 5 dimensional space that a 5D rubic's cube sounds impossible.

  17. Re:Can you still... on A Working 5D Rubik's Cube · · Score: 1

    Sure, but the stickers would all be tesseracts.

  18. Different on Slashdot CSS Redesign Winner Announced · · Score: 0, Redundant

    We fear change

  19. Unspoken implication on Airbus Plans to Expand Cockpit Automation · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "For the first time, flight crews of Airbus planes will be instructed and trained to rely on autopilots in most cases to escape an impending crash with another airborne aircraft or a building."

  20. Oh wow. A problem... on Space Elevator An Impossible Dream? · · Score: 1

    Oh well, lets just give up then. That's what inventors and scientists have always done, and thats how we got the technology-rich culture we have today.

  21. My problem on Windows Vista - Not So Bad? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    My problem with recent Microsoft operating systems has nothing to do with how well they run. I have to admit that they have been progresively better about that. My problem is how intrusive they are. How much control do I have over what my computer (my property that I paid for with my money) will and won't do.

  22. When I saw the title.... on Pirates Promise Improved Version of DaVinci Code · · Score: 1

    I thought they mean 'better version' as in 'The Phantom Edit'

  23. Re:We are emotionally sticky creatures on Soldiers Bond with Bomb-Defusing Robots · · Score: 1

    Download and install the Insiminator mod. You can make many changes to how the game works including turning off the aging.

  24. Re:Never is too soon. on Too Soon For A Columbine Videogame? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Of course there is a difference.

    A war, declared or otherwise, is far worse.

  25. Re:There is not a single selling feature for games on Next-Gen Graphics Might Not Sell Games · · Score: 1

    Yes, graphics, gameplay and cinematics are all important, but out of the three, gameplay is the one that can't be sacrificed if you want the game to still be good.
