  1. Study finds that topics requiring lecture... on Lectures Aren't Just Boring, They're Ineffective, Too, Study Finds · · Score: 5, Interesting

    ...are 1.5 times harder than topics that can be easily turned in to fun activities and games. Voila!

  2. Re:Adios MOHAA on EA Ending Online Support For Dozens of Games · · Score: 1

    Could you name it?

  3. If you're on Slashdot, you should know better... on EA Ending Online Support For Dozens of Games · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...better than to buy or play and EA games. They were cool back when it was Larry Bird vs. Dr. J 1-on-1, or Pinball Construction Set. EA has sucked for so many years now, I'm baffled that any nerd or geek would ever give them money for a game. And that's WITHOUT getting in to all the labor offenses.

  4. PIRATING ROLLERCOASTERS IS A CRIME!!!! on Duo Sneak an Oculus Rift Onto Roller Coaster For a Wild Ride · · Score: 3, Funny

    Won't somebody stop this madness before Disneyworld, Six Flags, and King's Island are left poor and homeless like those poor Hollywood executives?

  5. Re:for the love of god on USPTO Approves Amazon Patent For Taking Pictures · · Score: 1

    ++good, citizen. What have you done today to scare people who think and talk too much?

  6. Re:for the love of god on USPTO Approves Amazon Patent For Taking Pictures · · Score: 1

    Yes, we've noticed that you're literate. Have you considered the happiness that lobotomization can bring, citizen? All of those worries about stringing words together in a way that's technically legal while getting your point across will just melt away, and you won't be bothered with sympathy and outrage for other citizens any more! What do you think?

  7. Re:for the love of god on USPTO Approves Amazon Patent For Taking Pictures · · Score: 1

    Citizen, your identity has been noted. Please continue to provide us with your thoughts.

  8. Gamers need to stop this on Wretched Ride: PS4 Driveclub Game Rental Tied To Paid Subscription · · Score: 1

    Sony's not doing this to us. We're doing it to ourselves. Stop accepting DRM. Don't subscribe to PS Plus. Don't "buy" this game. Goes for Steam, too.

  9. Doubleplusgood! on $200 For a Bound Textbook That You Can't Keep? · · Score: 5, Funny

    How will we change the past if we let these kids keep paper books, eh, comrades?

  10. With deep pride, I must report... on Why Hollywood's Best Robot Stories Are About Slavery · · Score: 1

    ...that while I have read Asimov's robot stories and can go on and on about the Laws of Robotics, I've never heard of "Almost Human" or "Transcendence". http://www.smbc-comics.com/ind...

  11. Laserdisc was quaint, too. on Sony Warns Demand For Blu-Ray Diminishing Faster Than Expected · · Score: 1

    Quality snobs will have their local storage. I expect prices will go up.

  12. Re:Is Slashdot useful for discussing this? on Researchers See a Post-Snowden Chilling Effect In Our Search Data · · Score: 1

    So, that's a "No, and it never has been useful," then? I must be new at something.

  13. Is Slashdot useful for discussing this? on Researchers See a Post-Snowden Chilling Effect In Our Search Data · · Score: 1

    What happens in the forums during discussions like this? Basic moderation as I understand it doesn't explain it.

  14. Re:superheroes stuck in a dark rut on Review: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 · · Score: 1

    Truth. Fanboy balkanization. I thought this place was for nerds, but apparently we're outnumbered by dorks, and they're going to mod us down until we're invisible.

  15. Re:superheroes stuck in a dark rut on Review: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 · · Score: 1

    Man, great comment. Why are you posting as Coward? Also, why is the community modding these comments down? I don't get it. It seems like everyone who has insight is getting labeled a troll on this topic. Sony? Are you here somehow? Um...I loved the Walkman.

  16. Re:Moviebob hates it on Review: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 · · Score: 1

    After reading this review, I'm pretty sure we shouldn't listen to Nerval's Lobster.

  17. Re:Edgy black suit on Review: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 · · Score: 1

    Correct. I was referring to this in my post "Bad Premise for Review" above, but for some reason that's been modded down.

  18. Re:superhero movies could appeal to the mass marke on Review: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 · · Score: 2

    Correct. This review is terrible. The pretense of a professional critical voice, the authoritative tone, the complete lack of accuracy.

  19. Re:Bad premise for review. on Review: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 · · Score: 1

    I am the criticritic. It's what I do. No one gets a free pass!

  20. Bad premise for review. on Review: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 · · Score: 0

    Viewing recent superhero film development as a dialogue between "light and fun" themes and "dark and heavy" attitudes is overly simplistic. These films were not greenlit based on such factors. Decisions like including the black Spider-Man suit in Spider-Man 3 were also not made for such reasons. Nerval's Lobster is out of his depth here.

  21. Re:"It's a start, right" on High-School Star League Brings Gaming As Sport to Teenagers · · Score: 1

    CORRECT

  22. Also, "Newsies" will bring back the musical. on DreamWorks Animation CEO: Movie Downloads Will Move To Pay-By-Screen-Size · · Score: 1

    Anyone who looks to Katzenberg for predictions about the future is a fool.

  23. This is about taking control of entertainment? on Apple, Google, and Amazon's Quest For One Remote Control Is Futile · · Score: 1

    I just assumed this was about positioning trojan spyboxes in everyone's living rooms in a contest to become the most valued data collection agency! Boy, am I relieved to hear it's just about entertainment! The face value version of this story sure is less scary than the real one.

  24. Re:The cost of this program on A New Robo-Soldier Will Test Chemical Warfare Suits · · Score: 1

    What are you saying about the Coward's mother? :) I want to know more!

  25. Re:The cost of this program on A New Robo-Soldier Will Test Chemical Warfare Suits · · Score: 0

    Apparently, teaching you how to spell wasn't a role of your government, either.
