  1. Re:Bad Summary... sigh on Mac OS X v10.5.8 Ready For Download · · Score: 5, Informative

    I would really recommend that everyone use the Combo updater, whether you need it or not....

        Every time Apple releases an update, there are a bunch of small problems that occur to a minority of users, that are fixed by re-applying the Combo updater.

        This has been standard procedure among Mac Techs for a number of years.

  2. Re:Go Out And Waste 400+ Bucks For This??? on Elder Scrolls Panorama Shots · · Score: 1

    yeah, that explains the huge stacks of 360's I see in all the stores. What was M$ thinking?

  3. Re:But not the greatest customer service on Apple Revolutionizing Retail · · Score: 1

    did he have the reciept?

        If he didn't, then tough luck. A vast majority of stores won't take a return without a reciept, shrinkwrapped or not. I think that's a completely resonable position to take, too.

        If he did, then there is no way Apple wouldn't have accepted it, unless the product is marked 'No Returns'. Perhaps your friend had pissed off the employee he was talking to?

  4. JT on Teen Charged With Harassing Thompson · · Score: 2, Insightful

    so....

        Other than the police confirming that the kid was charged with a misdemeanor, the only info in the story comes from a Jack Thompson press release?

        I think Slashdot needs to update their story posting policy, to only include stories that have the slightest chance of being factually true.....

  5. Re:Errr? on Microsoft Thinks Africa Doesn't Need Free Software · · Score: 1

    why is this modded 4? It's pretty obvious he didn't read the article......

    "Microsoft is not a helicopter dropping relief materials; we're there in the field."

        the entire point of the article is that M$ says that they are training people as well

        not that I believe them, but that's what they are saying.....

  6. Re:In my experience... on Pay-Per-View to Provide DVD After Viewing? · · Score: 1, Informative

    RTFA.....

          the first two lines....

    "Would you pay your cable provider 17 dollars to watch a movie in your home in a pay per view form? What if it was not released on normal PPV yet and wont be for over a month?"

        that would imply that you could watch it in PPV form when the DVD is released, as long as you order the disk as well....

  7. Re:The Game on Bully To Blacken Rockstar's Other Eye? · · Score: 0

    where are these "Reviews"of Bully you are talking about?

        The game doesn't come out for another 3 months (assuming they even make the vague "October" street date)

        Rockstar has been pretty tight-lipped about it, other than some basic plot details.

        The only reason this is in the news now, is because douchebag Jack Thompson needs something to issue press releases about, now that Hot Coffee has been taken care of. He tried to take on the Sims 2, but even the press was to smart to fall for that one......

            in '92, I watched him debate Professor Griff from Public Enemy, about the evils of Rap Music. He was a tool then, and he's a tool now....

  8. Re:Watchmen on Wil Wheaton Strikes Back · · Score: 0

    Don't hold your breath. It's in Turnaround, which means its pretty much dead in the water.....

  9. Re:Why do you still have riders? on EFF: 48 Hours to Stop the Broadcast Flag · · Score: 0

    So you think that just because you folks in Australia have made taking bribes illegal, that it doesn't happen?

    And it's the americans that can't recognize simple things?

  10. Re:Halo??? on Halo Movie May Happen After All · · Score: 0

    "Even the tiny rabid xbox crowd is sick of Halo after the mess Halo 2 turned out to be."

    According to Bungie's site, there have been 384,000 unique players in the last 24 hours.....close to 8 months after the release of the game......

    If that crowd gets any more tiny and disappointed, Bungie might have to start giving refunds.......

    Thanks.

  11. Re:Viva la Revolution! on More Hints at Nintendo's Revolution · · Score: 0

    Juvenile??!? So If I'm really into GTA, are you calling me Juvenile as well? You Asshole!

    You aught to have your freakin head caved in with a basbeall bat. Then run over by a hooker.......

  12. Re:It's a standard Hollywood trick on New Battlestar Galactica Premieres Monday · · Score: 1

    ""The Hollywood version turned the once-mighty creature into a powerless wimp who scampered away like a frightened kitten in the face of helicopter gunships. Thus, you never really felt like the world was in danger. Every time Godzilla popped up you could chase him away with helicopters or tanks. Of course you can't keep doing that forever but I think we can all agree that eventually they would have found where he was hiding and finished him off.""

    Considering the fact that Godzilla did, in fact, lose his pursuers a few times in the movie, we have no reason to believe they would have found him after the movie was over....

    It's like this huge lizard ducked down a side street, in the middle of a goddamn city, and the helicopters just kept flying straight by him.....

  13. Re:Deja vu, MSN on AOL's $299 PC · · Score: 1, Funny

    I may be wrong about this, but didn't they stop that MSN promotion before they had initially planned, and ended up just letting people out of their contracts?

    So that $585 computer could concievable cost even less....
