  1. Re:Incase of slashdotting on When Videogames Publishers Go 'Street' · · Score: 1

    SAN ANDREAS IS A STATE. I don't know of many people who refer to suburbs as "the suburbs of Illinois", it's usually "the suburbs of Chicago".

  2. Re:And after? on NBC Aims For Stability Through Redundancy In Athens · · Score: 1

    Especially with Bob Costas.

    *Shudder*

  3. And now for something completely different: on Language Tempest At Orkut · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have only had one experience with Brazilian people online. It seems many .br kids who like to sit in net cafes think it's funny to destroy online communities. Take, for example, the MMORPG Tibia.
    These kids would walk around in-game and, upon seeing someone else, would say "br?". If you answered in English (or anything other than Portugese), they would promptly attack/gang-attack you.
    Somehow, I think something similar is happening here.

  4. Re:Nooo... Another OSNews article. on First Impressions of Slackware 10 · · Score: 1

    I'll agree that GUI tools SHOULD NOT EVER do screwy crap to your config files. I don't see what's so hard about making a gui-config-thing that just edits the config file...then again, I don't make do much coding...

    Posted AC, as should be...

  7. Re:No spell/grammar check? on Commercial DVD Software Comes to Linux · · Score: 1

    Well said, bro. I just can't stand the fact that people are content with using a language extremely crappily. I live in Minnesota, so I get to deal with lots of "you got dat dere ting workin' good?"-type stuff all the time.

  8. Ah yes, BUT... on New Google Groups in Beta · · Score: 0, Troll

    While we all love Google for their great search engine, all is not well in the land of search engines. You might want to check out this site .

  10. Thank you sir... on Mozilla/Firefox Bug Allows Arbitrary Program Execution · · Score: 1

    I probably would have just installed .9.2, but your tip saved me the time/headache.

  11. Re:Jeopardy addict, am I on The Man Who Knew Too Much · · Score: 1

    I used illegal fireworks here (Minnesota) and all I got was the few I hadn't shot off confiscated by the local cops. Good job, poindexter.

  12. Re:I don't recall ever having yearly product cycle on Is The 6-Month Product Cycle Upon Us? · · Score: 1

    Part of the deal might be the fact that new model cars won't sell better than last year's unless there's something "new" about them. People seem to have an arbitrary attachment where they connect "new" to "better", so a "new" car that isn't "better" probably wouldn't fare as well as one that is changed.

  13. Re:Audiobook Player on New Generation of MP3 Players, New Features · · Score: 1

    I think I remember a plug-in for WinAmp that did that, but I might be thinking of some other player...

  14. Re:I sure learn from video games. on The Political Games Surrounding Video Games · · Score: 1

    I agree here. I remember reading an interview with a flight sim geek who said his first time flying a Cessna "felt like home". I've also improved my driving by playing Gran Turismo. (well, maybe "improved" is a strong word)

  15. Re:The children be danmed on Supreme Court Rules Against Anti-Porn Law · · Score: 1

    Good job begging the question. Notice how I didn't say "porn is the work of Satan," all I said was "many people don't agree with [you]."

    You might say I can't prove there is a Satan, but can you prove there isn't? Of course not. Your argument is null and void.

  16. Re:The children be danmed on Supreme Court Rules Against Anti-Porn Law · · Score: 1

    Your argument is weak, and makes no sense.

    Please keep your religious ramblings to yourself, kthx.

  17. Re:The children be danmed on Supreme Court Rules Against Anti-Porn Law · · Score: 1

    Lets get some facts straight.

    1) Kids are not going to 'stumble' across pr0n. They are going to go out looking for it.


    That's odd, I remember in 1995 (when I was underage) I misspelled "infoseek.com" and found a porn site

    3) Pr0n is not the work of satan, despite what many(including 4 S.C. judges) believe. People need a more mature attidude towards sex.

    Wait... you said "facts". This is an opinion. Many people don't agree with you, so stop deluding yourself that your opinion is a "fact".

  18. Re:Forget Japan on Microsoft Plans More Japan-Specific Xbox 2 Games · · Score: 1

    In some parts of Europe, though, the Xbox is already a leader. Why? Ease of pirating software.

  19. EA on Japanese Videogame Market Declines Further · · Score: 1

    American gamers buy shitty sports games with updated stats every year. This makes EA a cash cow, along with the systems needed to play the games.

  20. Re:But the real question is on School Teaches 'Ethical Hacking' · · Score: 1

    I had trouble reading that, and I think that that study is bull.

    On a related note, my high school history teacher gave everyone a copy of that, and my friend replied right away "Hey, this has less mistakes than your regular tests." (It was true)

  21. SPEEK NGLESH?? on New Celeron D Core gets a Speed Boost · · Score: 0, Troll

    Do Slashdot editors feel the need to edit submissions at all?

    The new core is based on the 90nm Prescott, which offers respectable performance, compared to the very slow Northwood based Celeron.


    This needs to be "Northwood-based." The way you state it, dear qtothemax, will have less intelligent parsers thinking the Northwood core is slow, which it is not.


    Looks like Prescott's longer pipeline is more then offset by the better branch prediction and most importantly the doubled cache when it comes to the smaller cached Celeron.


    This is not a sentence. Also, it's than.


    This Celeron may be able to compete with AMD's offerings based on more then name brand alone.


    Please use the word THAN.

  22. Re:No Product Activation on Cut-Rate Windows 'XP Starter Edition' in Thailand · · Score: 1

    ...but those aren't realistic for many people.

    I just bought a computer from LinuxCertified.com and it's going to be fine for college. I don't see any reason how this is "unrealistic" for anyone.
