  1. Re:This is how you get things done on Jack Daniels Shows How To Write a Cease and Desist Letter · · Score: 2

    And if the legends are true, an optional gun to the abdomen.

  2. Re:What drivers is Linux-libre missing? on Linux 3.5 Released · · Score: 1

    Intel Graphics and "bells and whistles" should not belong in the same sentence. 3D on AMD works... somehow. I can run Xonotic.

    Customers? You are really making a fool of yourself.

  4. Re:Ha ha he he on Linux 3.5 Released · · Score: 1

    I'd advise to pick and choose a little, and turn about with a distro that is always stable for you. I'm fine with Mageia/KDE.

  5. Re:Unreal Tournament 1999 Prior art on Patent Troll Claims Minecraft Infringement · · Score: 1

    UT99? Nah. UT03 may be a lot more likely.

  6. Re:For the last F*CKING time... on Google Releases Jelly Bean Updates For the Nexus S · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Manufacturers are assholes. Buy from someone who is definitely not.

    Score 4: informative. Aha.

  8. Re:Games are already too expensive on EA Outs Battlefield 4, Plans To Charge $70 For New Games · · Score: 1

    Oh, so you are the one to blame for inability to play vanilla games a few years after they go live, only with "fairness mods"? Screw you. Calling Call Of Duty ridiculously overdone, especially in the area of graphics, is just plain stupid. They haven't improved the engine in 6 years, FFS! Also, sitting in a tank may gain you some advantage in the battle, but also makes you very vulnerable to RPGs, helicopters are nice at destroying buldings but are prone to Stingers, I can own just as much with my standard AK74 in BF3 with no modifications as with my late-game F2000 with ACOG, and "respawn on commander/revive by medic" saves servers from unstoppable snipers/machinegunners and makes gameplay more interesting, while it does not do much of an imbalance. Which reminds me - if you loathe all the elements of squad shooters like BF, why won't you play Quake? It doesn't have unlocks, and the graphics are not overdone.

  9. Re:How stupid do you need to be? on Apple Goes Back To EPEAT · · Score: 1

    I'd like to see him drive the company out of profit, and THEN make claims about him being nuts.

  10. I dunno about US, but in Eastern Europe... on Is Our Infrastructure Ready For Rising Temperatures? · · Score: 1

    People tend to have their blood boil with 100+ temperatures. Please specify the measuring system, guys.

  11. Re:This case is a joke. on Kim Dotcom Offers the DoJ a Deal · · Score: 3, Informative

    I believe that you are looking for Jayne. Also, I can kill you with my brain.

  12. Re:Why not let everyone sell through steam? on Valve Will Let Gamers Pick Games To Appear On Steam · · Score: 1

    It can bring them into lots of trouble in selling disturbing, obscene and pornographic material. Also, their reputation is pretty stellar, so they wouldn't really want to get it stained.

  13. Re:Linux on Valve Will Let Gamers Pick Games To Appear On Steam · · Score: 1

    I think that case-sensitive is a rather deliberate setting that is not default at any Mac system, and Valve may not even have had the idea they needed to fix that. However, with the Linux release, maybe they will patch it on Mac too.

  14. Re:don't buy into DRM on Valve Will Let Gamers Pick Games To Appear On Steam · · Score: 1

    I'd say that you can play those games offline as long as you keep your steam folder intact. It's not like that will suddenly disappear. Unless, of course, Gabe goes crazy and pushes an update wiping your steam folder.

  15. Re:How the f** is it this company still exists? on Mandriva Juggles Multiple Codebases · · Score: 1

    Parted Magic is useful for recovery partitioning, the kind that you couldn't really do on a hot install. I would like to know why are you so antipathetic to Backtrack, as it ships with some tools that other distros wouldn't. Wireshark, aircrack, all that stuff. You have mentioned so many distros, including forks of Ubuntu, some absolutely unknown ones like Pear and Zorin, but only mentioned Mageia by its' grassroots structure? That is not as important as the aim of the distro. The aim is to have a clean, minimally tampered with user-friendly distribution while still preserving some tools like MCC of Mandriva's.

  16. Apparently, it's not that bad. on Anonymous Lists Sites. and VoIP Services, Blocked In the UAE · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Because if you block those for the majority of the population, productivity will skyrocket.

  17. Re:CUZ MOTHERFUCKERS WILL STEAL NO MATTER WHAT !! on BitTorrent Usage Increases In Europe, Following the Pirate Bay Blockade · · Score: 1

    And it all boils down to this simple thing:
    Sure, copying is not theft. Still, having enjoyed the entertainment and not paid the asked price, I guess you just paint yourself as a little bit of an asshole.

    I'd mod you funny if I could.

  19. Re:Now if only valve... on Valve Hands Over Its Own Movie-Making Tools To Gamers · · Score: 1

    You can play those games offline once you have registered them.

    I believe I just heard the sound of the comment flying over your head. It is sarcastic.

  21. Re:180 marketplaces? on Microsoft To Bring Windows 8 Marketplace In 180 Countries · · Score: 1

    It is only the kernel, yes. However, the userland of Android is open source too. I really see that Android is the best thing that could happen to a FOSS OS in a mobile space, where the usual GNU+Linux often proves impractical.

  22. Re:180 marketplaces? on Microsoft To Bring Windows 8 Marketplace In 180 Countries · · Score: 2

    I see Android tablets in any store that sells tablets, exluding Apple-only ones, of course. You can't really ignore that.

  23. Re:Slashvertisement with underwear worn outside... on The Boy Who Loved Batman · · Score: 1

    Do you really think that it would be needed to advertise Dark Knight Rises on slashdot? Everybody here worth his salt knows about the film already, and already knows if he will watch it.

    So, has Effel Tower fallen lately? I may be late for the news.
