  6. Re:Civ IV on New Atari Games Revealed · · Score: 1

    And generally speaking, the majority of people seem to agree that Civ2 was a big improvement over the original Civ, while opinion is split on whether Civ2 or Civ3 was better. ...and Alpha Centauri remains the best of any games spawned out of the series.

  7. Re:Shatner he ain't on Neal Stephenson Responds With Wit and Humor · · Score: 1

    I couldn't imagine eating serial. With over a hundred pieces in your average bowl, it would get soggy by the time you got to the end.

    I much prefer parallelizing at least a spoonful at a time.

    Crystal Shit.

  9. Re:I think it's the perceived attitude.... on The Empires Strike Back · · Score: 1

    This is the same attitude the IRS takes.

    A person close to me had their wages garnished with no warning and no explanation. In trying to get it back the IRS said basically, "you may be right, but we've got the money. Come try and take it from us."

    She's been audited every year since.

  15. Colors on Windows XP SP2 Impressions · · Score: 5, Funny

    SP2 has been fine for me, but it's turned slashdot puke yellow!

    It must be a Microsoft conspiracy.

  16. Re:Hollywood movies are worse at stereotyping on Racial Issues Alleged In GTA San Andreas, Other Games · · Score: 1

    Oh there was one there, he just happened to be first up against the wall, so you might have missed him.

    Let that be a warning...

  17. Re:I just don't get it.. on Hiptop/Sidekick Sequel Unleashed · · Score: 1

    I guess I just don't understand the target market for such a device.

    It's called a "hiphop" and you don't see the target market?? Hello? McFly?

  18. Re:don't want to get caught by bad grammar? on Tolkien Vs. The Critics In 1954 · · Score: 1

    I wonder how they translate to Klingon...

    You've got it backwards. To truely appreciate Tolkien, you must read him in the original Klingon.

    I read Hustler for the comics.

    Really!

  22. Re:Uh-Oh - Konfabulator on Jobs Previews Displays, Tiger at WWDC · · Score: 1

    Another jab to Microsoft on the Dashboard.

    Look at the stock ticker on that page and see that AAPL is trading at 42.05 (up 7.36) and MSFT is trading at 18.23 (down 1.34). Even bigger changes relative to their true today trading prices.

    Yuk yuk.

  23. Get it in writing on Cell Phone Customer Service Ranked Next to Last · · Score: 1

    I only found out that they had stopped me from writing programs for my phone despite that the salesman told me I could,

    As with all else, get it in writing. They put it into writing in the form of that neat little contract you sign, why shouldn't you?

  24. Re:Some guy was investigated for excercising the F on Breaking RSA Keys by Listening to Your Computer · · Score: 1

    Even if the FBI/NSA can't manage to decode your data, the fact remains if they get to look at your HD via a warrent and they discover 20 GB of encrypted data rather than anything readable, they know you're hiding something from their view.

    That discovery encrypted data can still be used as evidence in justifying further warrants... while discovering 20 GB of Britney Spears music in readable form would most likely cause the investigation to give up on worrying about the contents of that hard drive.


    If you really want to strap on the tin foil hat, that warrant you mentioned 1) Doesn't need to be approved by a judge in done in the name of terrorism 2) They don't have to tell you about it. So if they were interested in the encrypted stuff on your hard drive, they would come in, do a bitwise copy and decypt and their leisure.

  25. Re:Military Potential of D&D on D&D Is 30 · · Score: 1

    I can't imagine they had much else to do while at a naval base in Wisconsin.

    Wisconsin has the ELF transmitter used to transmit to submerged subs.
