  1. Re:Modularity on EA Makes Minor Tweaks To FIFA 12 For the Wii, Releases It As FIFA 13 · · Score: 1

    Your thanks is all we need, citizen. Or, y'know, cash or whatever.

  2. Handheld football action? on EA Makes Minor Tweaks To FIFA 12 For the Wii, Releases It As FIFA 13 · · Score: 1

    worth a look if you’re into some handheld football action

    Isn't that called rugby?

    Unlimited rice pudding!

  4. Re:Well, it doesn't work... on Free Font Helps People With Dyslexia · · Score: -1, Troll

    What a shame the guy never thought to test it on any dyslexics, instead of making up a load of random shit about how he thought his font would work. I mean, that must be what happened, since you're dyslexic and you've declared that it doesn't work. And all dyslexics must all be the same, since you didn't just say "it doesn't work for me."

  5. Dear Slashdot editor... on The Whirlydoodle Project Makes Fun, Spinning Things (Video) · · Score: 1

    Dear Slashdot editor,

    What exactly do you do? You clearly don't check hyperlinks in summaries, which are just about the most important concept on Slashdot (and the entire internet).

    And no, for once, I'm actually not being facetious. I'd appreciate an answer.

  6. Re:I can't even believe it has to be clarified on California Employers Can't Ask For Your Facebook Password · · Score: 1

    religion endures mostly because people are forced to follow orders, forced (mentally) to accept absurd ideas and 'truth'. taught not to question even strange ideas.

    Not forced. Humans come pre-programmed to accept the word of their elders, and it's been a highly successful survival strategy for the species. Unfortunately it's been co-opted, intentionally or not, to spread some pretty wacky memes, but it's not something we'll last very long without.

  7. Re:strict liability? on The Text Message Typo That Landed a Man In Jail · · Score: 1

    At least say "probably bullshit," unless you were on the jury and heard all of the facts and testimony relating to the case, as opposed to reading a Slashdot summary and a PCPro article.

  8. Re:Medical applications? Nope. on Scientists Invent Electronics That Dissolve In the Body · · Score: 1

    I predict it's been done already.

    Then how can you predict it?

    Yay, it's anecdote Top Trumps, Slashdot's favourite game! I use Photoshop and everyone I know uses Photoshop!

  10. Re:Stop telling people what to do. on Why It's Bad That Smartphones Have Banished Boredom · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Stop telling people what to do.

    Who's telling you what to do?

    what a whackjob cult

    Not gonna FTFY.

  12. Re:reflects well on Torvalds Uses Profanity To Lambaste Romney Remarks · · Score: 1

    It might be nice if a sitting president didn't have to spend much of his 4th year in a reelection campaign, but I'm not sure how to do that.

    Apart from "do a good enough job over the first three years."

  13. Re:Why is this here? on DNC Salute to Vets Featured Backdrop Of Russian Warships · · Score: 1

    Because the guy who made the presentation used Firefox on a Mac to Google the images.

  14. The ironing was more delicious for the BNP on DNC Salute to Vets Featured Backdrop Of Russian Warships · · Score: 1

    http://spitfiresite.com/2009/03/press-review-contd-spitfire-and-politics.html The British National Party used a photo of a spitfire as part of an anti-immigration campaign, only for it to be revealed that the spitfire in question was flown by a Polish pilot.

    This is what happens when you don't have much ex-military in leadership.

    You say that like it's definitely a bad thing...

  16. Re:Must past this test on California Legalizes Self Driving Cars · · Score: 1

    Basically what I am waiting for is the inevitable 100 car pile up with massive fatalities that WILL occur at some point in time where investigation will identify that a self-driven car, or cars, was the cause of it.

    A 100 car pile up sounds to me like evidence of at least 90 cars crying out for AI drivers.

    Why, is that what would normally happen? If so, why shouldn't it happen in this particular case (as opposed to all the other cases)? If not - why bring it up?

  23. Re:It is ugly though in Desktop mode. on Intel CEO Tells Staff Windows 8 Is Being Released Prematurely · · Score: 1

    Doesn't seem to work for me, I'm afraid - all of those window colour options seem to be overridden by Aero, although fonts and window border sizes can be tweaked from there. Thanks though!

  24. Re:It is ugly though in Desktop mode. on Intel CEO Tells Staff Windows 8 Is Being Released Prematurely · · Score: 2

    I like Aero. I'd love Aero if someone could tell me how to make the active window stand out properly against the inactive ones.
