  1. Security Through Obscurity on India Forms Expert Group on Google Earth Images · · Score: 5, Funny

    When will they realize that just because it's blurred out in the picture, doesn't mean the building disappeared?

  2. Re:And evolution is? on Federal Judge Rules Against Intelligent Design · · Score: 1

    As an aside: did you consider that God could, by definition he's omnipotent afterall, have forged the fossil record? I think most Christians believe he's not like that and so didn't.

    So, God's a liar now?

  3. Re:Wow! on Reality TV "Astronauts" Lift Off · · Score: 1

    I guess your sarcasmograph needs some adjustment.

  4. Re:Stopping the stupidity on Unpatched Firefox 1.5 Exploit Made Public · · Score: 1

    For anyone out there who wants a safer experience out on the web. you owe it to yourself to install the NoScript extension and only allow whitelisted sites to run Javascript

    This is also for people who want a completely boring and utterly useless web experience. I fail to see the informational value of crippling your browser in such a manner.

  5. Who would buy these? on Sony, Amazon Detail Rootkit CD Buybacks · · Score: 3, Interesting

    6. Bette Midler - Sings the Peggy Lee Songbook

    Who in their right mind would subject themselves to such torture. And, what's more, someone paid for the privlege.

  6. Re:I'm not feeling the X360 love on First Xbox 360 Reviews Hitting the Web · · Score: 1

    Is it lack of Halo 3

    Am I the only one that thought Halo was awful and should be avioded like the plague?

    It pales in comparison to FPS games on the PC from 10 years ago (I would play Quake anyday over Halo). The gameplay is horrible, and there is only one map in the game. I must be missing something, because I don't see any redeeming features.

  7. Re:Sorry, I quit FPSs when they wanted me to jump on Review: Serious Sam II · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah jumping is not manly at all.

    They should stand there and take it, like real men.

  8. Re:videos have sound! on Apple Sells 1 Million Videos in Under 20 Days · · Score: 0, Troll

    30mb eh? I that must be one sweet CD.

  9. Re:Multiplayer on Grand Theft Auto Retrospective · · Score: 1
    The first two GTAs (the top down ones) had wonderful multiplayer.


    Wonderful multiplayer? I beg to differ. When GTA2 first came it out my friends and I gave it a whirl. 4 players on a LAN with top of line machines (P2 350, if I recall) was hardly playable. You knew when someone had found the rocket launcher because the game slowed to a slideshow for 5 minutes while the explosions played out. Yeah, you could drive around on the same map at the same time, but it sucked if you happened to find one of the other players.

    Nobody played GTA for the multiplayer. That's what Starcraft and Diablo were for.
  10. Re:First-person shooters on Sid Meier Responds · · Score: 1
    Two-sticking ala Goldeneye is tolerable, at least for a fairly simple FPS


    It's not tolerable at all. I would rather hack my arm off with a dull knife than play an FPS on a console. I tried playing Halo the other day for the first time. What an awful experience. You can't do anything with that controller.

    I will stick with my PC and my Half-life, thank you very much.
  11. This is... on Wifi Camera Uploads without Computer · · Score: 1

    truly a revolution among revolutions. Thank you Kodak, may your imagination be limitless for many years to come.

  12. Re:Takes Balls on Episode III Deleted Scenes Leaked Online · · Score: 1

    It's probably the same guys sticking it to The Man.

  13. It must be the Flying Spaghetti Monster on Oregon Is Growing A Mystery Bulge · · Score: 4, Funny

    His Noodily Appendage works in awesome and mysterious ways.

    If His Noodliness says Oregon needs a bulge, then it shall be so.

  14. Re:Pokemon on Nintendo Quarterly Profits Down 80% · · Score: 1

    Pokemon RPGs are a lot more indepth then people give them credit for.

    But it's still bloody Pokemon.

  15. Re:Yuk on U.N. To Govern Internet? · · Score: 1
    From a year ago for example, a large number of leading indicators showed progress in Iraq's infrastructure.


    Of course it's doing better. We stopped shock and aweing it into last century. Besides Dubya's friends stand to make a hell of a lot of money rebuilding what we blew up.
  16. This is beyond retarded. on ThinkGeek ThinkGeek ThinkGEEK! · · Score: 1

    I always dread April Fools Day on Slashdot.

    This shit isn't even believable.

  17. NEVAR! on When Would You Accept DRM? · · Score: 1

    You will never take me alive, commie scum!

    On a more serious note. Never. I don't want the media I buy to be crippled in any way, shape or form. I purchased it fairly and I how I choose to use it is my business.

  18. Newflash! on Some Linux Distros Found Vulnerable By Default · · Score: 1

    In other news, Windows found vulnerable by default. As of this posting, no solution known.

  19. It's not the size that counts.... on 1.4mm Thick Gigabit Ethernet Cable · · Score: 1

    It's how you use it.

    It's all about the fire in the wire.

  20. Re:Netcraft on Broadband to Kill Off DVD? · · Score: 1

    I'm not going to believe this until Netcraft actually confirms that DVD is dying. Then we will talk.

    And who the hell is Serge Tchuruk anyway?

  21. Re:FCC love? on FCC Fines Company for Blocking Access to VoIP · · Score: 1

    Just like middle school girls. The list of friends and foes changes by the day.

    We like the FCC today. We won't tomorrow. We like IBM today. We won't tomorrow. Microsoft (the ugly one), well that situation never changes.

  22. Web site design on Jef Raskin Gets $2 Million To Develop RCHI · · Score: 1

    Maybe he needs to take a lesson or two in web site design.

    Putting all the information you have ever gathered on your front page so that it's roughly 300 pages long is sooooo 1995.

  23. Re:cost of rollout on World of Warcraft Shatters Sales Records · · Score: 1

    Will all new mmorpg networks need similarly-scaled backends? If so, that puts the genre safely in the hands of large corporations. sigh.

    I don't believe thats the case at all. Sure, a company like Blizzard has to build a system capable of handling 200000 players in the first week. But a smaller company with a game thats not hyped should have a bit of time to ramp up their capacity. As people continue to sign up, they can continue to add machines and can afford to do so.

  24. Security through obscurity on CT High Court Rules GIS Data Can Be Kept Secret [UPDATED] · · Score: 5, Insightful

    is no security at all.

    I can go down to the airport and pay someone to take me an hour long tour around town. I'll take my new Canon 8 megapixel camera along. If I wanted to do some damage, those pictures are going to work just as will as the GIS pictures. Might cost me a little more in short term, but what does that matter?

    As an aside, Helena, Montana gives away GIS data to anyone who asks for it. The taxpayers of Helena payed for those pictures and that information in the first place. It's only right that we have free access to it. As a matter of fact, I have a hard drive around here with 10 gigs of photos and infrastructure maps of Helena and the surrounding area just for asking.

    No, it should be the Cock Bite team. That is definately their motto.
