  1. Re:Finally on Sony Sells Off Sony Online Entertainment · · Score: 1

    they have an amazing habit of having a good game, then with no notice running it into the ground

    The word for that in English is "monetizing".

  2. Re:Hyper-V anyone? on VirtualBox Development At a Standstill · · Score: 1

    I'm having trouble finding instructions on running Hyper-V out of the box on Linux and OS X hosts. Thus there still might be some cases that aren't influenced by your guess.

  3. Re:Claims are in the featured article on Apple Awarded Gesture-Control Patent · · Score: 1

    So a conductor "sliding" to a start an orchestra. But on a computer / the interwebs...

  4. Re:Seriously? GOOD NEWS? on FCC Favors Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    You left out the option of the the local post office to mark the recipient, of packages of a particular shape, as deceased and simply choose to not deliver them in the event they are suspected of being illegal.
    Sandvine

  5. Re:More productive on the bus to/from work on The Open Office Is Destroying the Workplace · · Score: 1

    You had me going until you qualified the last part as just the "need for a Product Manager", when it gets around to actually cutting them out get back to me.

  6. Re:Micromanagement reigns... on The Open Office Is Destroying the Workplace · · Score: 1

    Hypocrisy, not irony. Irony would be if magically it was a good idea for everyone else to work via the cloud, except for those whose job is to work on the cloud itself. It's just as good an idea for anyone to use it, for better or for worse.

  7. Re:In other news... on Science Cannot Prove the Existence of God · · Score: 1

    You only think it's a stack, it's actually a doubly-linked list.

  8. Re:And also cannot... on Science Cannot Prove the Existence of God · · Score: 1

    Therefor all men are Socrates.

  9. Re:The idea or concept of god... on Science Cannot Prove the Existence of God · · Score: 1

    I'd say they definitely don't exist, but only because "exist" is the wrong word for them. Infinity doesn't exist either, but can be defined in terms of other things, can be felt, assumed, and many other things. Existence is too limiting a term for some of the concepts you've described.

  10. Based on the headline on Apple Pay For the UK · · Score: 3, Funny

    My first thought was "How much did Apple pay for the UK?" They can probably afford it at this point.

  11. Looks a lot like... on Quake On an Oscilloscope · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Any game at all on the Vectrex.

  12. English on Ask Slashdot: Paying For Linux Support vs. Rolling Your Own? · · Score: 1

    The inherit risk

    The inherent risk

  13. Re: Apple cult on Woz Downplays the Significance of Apple's Startup Garage · · Score: 2

    Sn sounds a little tinny to me.

  14. Neither news, nor newsworthy on Woz Downplays the Significance of Apple's Startup Garage · · Score: 0

    Steve Wozniak says something isn't important, here's the story of why?

  15. Re:That's not circular logic. on A Mismatch Between Wikimedia's Pledge Drive and Its Cash On Hand? · · Score: 1

    The author of the summary probably meant cyclical, and put "circular logic" because it sounds fancy, without knowing what it means.

  16. Re:Well on A Mismatch Between Wikimedia's Pledge Drive and Its Cash On Hand? · · Score: 5, Funny

    So just tag the banners with [Citation Needed]?

  17. Re:is it really bad in the first place? on Breath Test For Pot Being Developed At WSU · · Score: 1

    Is the paranoia still present in cultures where use of marijuana isn't illegal? It's important to determine whether the threat of punishment induces the paranoia, or the use of the drug does.

  18. Re:Okay, this is a great idea on Debian Forked Over Systemd · · Score: 1

    At least they didn't call it Dabian, Chinese for both "big changes" and "to defecate".

  19. Re:Stuff like this. on Mathematicians Study Effects of Gerrymandering On 2012 Election · · Score: 1

    You don't vote because you're lazy and don't want to fight. And frankly, half the reason we're in this mess is because of people like you.

    49.9% of the mess you mean. Even the mess is gerrymandered.

  20. Re:says Kim on Kim Dotcom Says Legal Fight Has Left Him Broke · · Score: 1

    He'll be taking slashdot's last name in the marriage and be Kim Dice.

  21. Re:Yo, its 2014! on Is Ruby On Rails Losing Steam? · · Score: 1

    So it's also "inside a span of 100 billion years", and a vague statement at best.

  22. Re:FIRST on The Schizophrenic Programmer Who Built an OS To Talk To God · · Score: 1

    Matthew 20:16

  23. Re:Flip Argument on Officer Not Charged In Michael Brown Shooting · · Score: 1

    Or was already on the ground at that point. Or was getting on the ground at that point. You've left out some real possibilities.

  24. Emacs users never fail to surprise me.

  25. Re:Some context on Fukushima Radiation Nears California Coast, Judged Harmless · · Score: 1

    Is this another "ban monoxygen-dihydride" post?
