  1. Re:Physics is against Robotech Creations... on Toyota Demos 'Partner Robots' · · Score: 3, Funny

    + Built in autodoc to automatically release anti-coagulant over any detected gunshot wound, and coolant/soothing cream over any burn.

    That makes the whole NASA fubar of switching metric/imperial units seem minor by comparison. ;)

  2. 11 Countries? on Operation FastLink Yields Three Arrests · · Score: 5, Funny

    So they conducted raids in 11 countries and nabbed three key people? Must be one hell of a bad day to be a lackey. :)

  3. Re:Hail the power of corporate America! on FBI Conducts Raids Over Half-Life 2 Source Theft · · Score: 1

    Do I think that the FBI and SS would respond to the theft of code from an open source project? I think whoever sold you your Slashdot phrasebook owes you a refund.

  4. And there was a great smacking of foreheads... on Japan Gets NES Conversions For GBA, Limited Xboxes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Microsoft: You know that thing you guys don't want? Now it's available in three collectable colors!

  5. Re:moving jobs overseas on Tech Firms Defend Moving Jobs Overseas · · Score: 1

    New business plan:

    1. Sell firearms and maps to the homes of the wealthy.
    2. Profit!

    Sweet.. I didn't even need the mystery second step. I think this one has potential. :-)

  6. Re:Local Resources on Tech Scholarships for College/University? · · Score: 1

    Damn right.. I am one of those thousands with a new CS degree and no chance in fucking hell of actually finding a job. I'm now working on law school. If I don't have a job when I graduate, I may at least be able to sue somebody.

  7. Re:2 possibilities on Jodrell Bank Telescope Gets No Signal From Beagle · · Score: 1

    Technically, the Navajos and the like are also imported umm "Americunts", just a much earlier importation.

  8. Re:Darn. on Internet History In Pictures · · Score: 1

    You doubt the awesome power of Mr. T?

  9. Re:The American Response on Real Gun Pulled At Counter-Strike Tournament · · Score: 1

    Somebody shot President Martin Sheen? Why was this not on CNN?!

  10. Re:Quality on California Makes Recording in Cinema a Crime · · Score: 1

    O' knowledgeable troll-man, please tell me where the hell can I get a camcorder that's got a sharp enough image resolution to accurately capture the data on a DVD?

  11. Re:algorithm for hit points on EverQuest Players Defeat 'Unkillable' Monster · · Score: 1

    Whoops. When you forget to use the code mode instead of plain old text, slashdot doesn't like comparison symbols. The second if should be "If target's hp is less than -1, set it to -1."

    You live, you learn, you clog the system with extra comments :)

  12. Re:algorithm for hit points on EverQuest Players Defeat 'Unkillable' Monster · · Score: 1

    Why?

    Just do:

    ApplyDamage(target, damage) {
    if (target.hp == -2)
    return

    target.hp -= damage

    if (target.hp -1)
    target.hp = -1
    return
    }

  13. Who's he been talking to? on The Substance of Style · · Score: 1

    "many of us (techies) lust after Apple hardware which can command a premium price in part because of its styling"

    ???

    Can we get a slashdot poll on that? If the question is "Do you want a Mac?" I'm guessing "No" is easily going to win out over "Yes, but they're too expensive".

  14. Re:Piracy? on Macrovision Adopts Fade Anti-Game Piracy Technology · · Score: 1

    Your post contains a sequence of more than one question mark; therefore, you are in violation of the Sounding Like A Fucking Dolt Act. Federal agents have already traced the source of the offending punctuation, and should be arriving shortly at your door.

    Your post conatins an utter inability to comprehend sarcasm; therefore, you are in violation of Section 2 of the Sounding Like A Fucking Dolt Act, which I can only assume you are familiar with.

  15. Re:Human Immortality on The Oldest Mouse Contest · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Not necessarily, we could just start killing off those people peskily reproducing elsewhere. I mean really, would you miss India?

  16. Re:Inflammable means Flammable? What a country! on Fuel Cells To Appear In Laptops In 2004 · · Score: 1

    Trust me, that sounds as equally paranoid to an American.

  17. Re:"Online Connectivity" on PlayStation 2 Celebrates One Year Online · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What does this mean? Is it that 780,000 people have signed up, or that 780,000 people own PS2 online adaptors? I could say that 100% of Xbox's have "online connectivity" because every Xbox has an ethernet port built in. I think these numbers are very deceptive.

    Well it could very well be 780,000 broadband adapters sold. Unlike the X-Box though, I'd imagine if you bought a broadband adapter (as opposed to having it come with the system), you probably intend to actually use it.

  18. Re:Why the word"YAHWAH" is not what you mean on Looking For God In Videogames · · Score: 1

    Probably not for quite a long time. Feel free to try and speed up the process by organizing SinFest 2004. Try and organize a Guiness-worthy number of people to all eat some pork while yelling "God Damn It", worshipping an idol and slapping their moms simultaneously.

  19. Re:Paying to beta test is the norm now. on Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided Ships · · Score: 1

    I've only played one MMORPG so far, Asheron's Call, and I don't really remember it being very buggy or seeming unfinished. I may have an atypical viewpoint of the game, but I also don't really recall seeing other people bitch and moan about it either, so it may very well have been one of the few good ones.

    Damnit.. this has made me all nostalgic now... I want to go kill some Lugians, but I'm not paying $10 to sign up for the priviledge. :-)

  20. Re:I'm not talking about the program on The Little Coder's Predicament · · Score: 1

    I'm reasonably sure that with the way the IDE works, if you try to run an unsaved program it will first save it, then compile and then run it. So even if it does crash the IDE all the code was just saved prior to running your crappily written program.

  21. Re:Why limit usage to one's thumb? on One-Thumb Keyboard · · Score: 3, Funny

    If your wang is prehensile, I suggest you go see a doctor immediately.

  22. Re:Too damn small! on Game Boy Advance SP Sells 1.1 Million in U.S. · · Score: 2, Funny

    Step outside, and marvel in the fact that before the internet, people lived in the REAL WORLD.

    That was before we discovered skin cancer, smog and outdoor advertising. Now we retreat back into our safe, dark caves (or apartments, as applicable) and we like it that way.

  23. Re:P2P2$ on 43 Million Americans Use P2P Software · · Score: 1

    Meanwhile people who sit on KaZaa all day hurt the rest of us, see the sibling post about how shops are changing their game return policies.

    You do realise that people on Kazaa have absolutely jack squat to do with shops changing their return policies? The behavior that the return policies (or rather lack thereof) is supposed to prevent is people buying games, burning themselves (and their friends) copies and then returning them. If people are downloading ISOs of Kazaa, then they're not buying the game to return it and abuse the return policy.

  24. Re:MTV & LOTR on MTV Movie Awards - Gollum's Acceptance Clip · · Score: 1

    that link is worth clicking if for nothing more than to see the "Recommendations" part of the IMDB listing:

    Recommendations

    If you like this title, we also recommend...

    Shrek (2001)

    Nice, I'll just pop both of them on for the kids :-)

  25. Re:Who saw this coming? on iTunes Indie Meeting Notes · · Score: 1

    Don't mind him, he's just bitter than David and Danny don't talk to him any more since their show ended.
