  1. Re:Dr Strangelove? on Soviets Built a Doomsday Machine; It's Still Alive · · Score: 1

    So you give this huge TL;DR feminist horseshit response, and you can't spare 10 seconds to write a mea culpa?

    Start your cat collection now, because I see a lonely life ahead of you.

  2. Re:Porn and hamburgers on French Deputies Want Labels On Photo-Altered Models · · Score: 1

    I still remember the little kid raising his hand to answer his rhetorical question.

    Saw the movie at a press screening when I was in college.

    Maybe you're ugly as well?

    To be fair, the bitch set him up.

  5. Re:Stigma to Linux on Net Radio Exec Says "Don't Mention Linux" · · Score: 0, Troll

    I had something similar to that screen resolution issue on windows 95 or 98. The owner had set the desktop font to the biggest possible size. We ended up reinstalling the OS.

    So in another 5-10 years, Linux might have issues fixed that even Windows fixed years ago?

    Year of the Linux desktop my ass...

  6. Re:Deaf people cope on Nissan Gives Electric Cars Blade Runner Audio Effect · · Score: 1, Interesting

    And yet my ex-wife still can't do the world a favor by walking in front of a bus.

  7. Re:Well, Look at Their Monthly Revenue on Blizzard Offers Look Inside WoW At GDC · · Score: 1

    Maybe he modded from his sock puppet?

  8. Re:No effect whatsoever on Japan's Cell Phones May Get DRM, At Music Industry Behest · · Score: 1

    The bigger the pile of crap, the harder it is to find the non-crap.

    Not if the proportions are the same.

  9. Re:No effect whatsoever on Japan's Cell Phones May Get DRM, At Music Industry Behest · · Score: 1

    90% of recorded music is indie? Somewhere, I heard that 90% of everything is crap. Coincidence?

  10. Re:A Short List on Why Users Drop Open Source Apps For Proprietary Alternatives · · Score: 1

    Don't take it too private. It is nuggets of exchange like this that make it worth wading through an infinite number of "Frost Pist!" posts.

  11. Re:Commodore 64? on C64 Emulator Finally Approved For iPhone · · Score: 1

    Gotta be the Apple ii version so that if you play with the iPhone screen pointing down (say, while lying on a couch) it should flip the gameplay upside down.

  12. Re:Finally a phone for couples on PS3-Compatible Phone Coming In October · · Score: 1

    That comment is so gay.

  13. Light Pollution on Mount Wilson Observatory In Danger From L.A. Fire · · Score: 1

    How is an observatory this close to major population centers not horribly affected by light pollution?

  14. Re:Meh on Disney Buys Marvel For $4B · · Score: 1

    One trick I've found is to follow writers more and not worry so much about characters. Sure, it should be obvious, but it's something I didn't figure out for a long time.

  15. Re:I don't get it.. on The Orange Goo That Could Save Your Laptop · · Score: 1

    Who's trolling, I just about guarantee I've got more miles with more different vehicle types under my belt than you, and I find your lack of skill typical amongst drivers.

  16. Re:Bye bye marvel... on Disney Buys Marvel For $4B · · Score: 1

    Watchmen is a weird property. While based on some characters that were purchased by DC Comics, they were essentially creations of Moore and Gibbons.

    The art of Watchmen is brilliant, but only from a certain point of view. Looked at on its own, it is a bit flat compared to today's artwork. But viewed as an analysis of silver age artwork and tropes, it is amazing.

    There are plenty of works by Marvel and DC that don't suck. I think you might be happier with some of the slightly smaller publishers and imprints. It largely depends on what you liked in Watchmen.

    (See, I'm not always a troll)

  17. Re:Not that surprising on EA Spends 3x More On Marketing Than Development · · Score: 1

    I was posting on slashdot when you were still sniffing Justin Timberlake's undies. I know the troll to modpoints game quite well.

    You stopped poorly and didn't leave yourself an out. Not my fault you can't drive.

  19. Re:Irrelevant benchmarks on OS Performance — Snow Leopard, Windows 7, and Ubuntu 9.10 · · Score: 2, Funny

    I used to have this problem with Windows XP. Since I started using Mac computers, I just masturbate while looking at them. They're so sexy, no porn is required.

    Yes, I DO wear an extra tight turtleneck to get that autoerotic asphyxiation going...

    and kissing girls.

  21. Re:Meh on Disney Buys Marvel For $4B · · Score: 1

    They shoulda ended Planet Hulk by having the Hulk go even further out in space, to never return. How could they follow it up? Rulk? Pass.

    You may want to check out the Sinestro Corps War and Blackest Night if you liked 52. Oh, and Last Days of Animal Man is wrapping up some stuff from that story line (as well as touching on themes raised by Morrison when he wrote the book)

  22. Re:Meh on Disney Buys Marvel For $4B · · Score: 1

    I'll see your Brian Michael Bendis (just read Goldfish a week ago) and raise you a Joe "Douchebag" Quesada.

    No more Peter Parker/MJ marriage? I'll pass, ty very much.

  23. Re:Bye bye marvel... on Disney Buys Marvel For $4B · · Score: 1

    Sadly, everyone has missed the point, which is that no mention of little red riding hood is complete with mentioning Sam the Sham.

  24. Re:Bye bye marvel... on Disney Buys Marvel For $4B · · Score: 1

    To be fair, the Watchmen was incredible source material.

  25. Re:Well, that explains a lot on EA Spends 3x More On Marketing Than Development · · Score: 1

    He modelled it after American cities. You must have too many Republicans on your city councils, doing their level headed best to prove that government doesn't work. Sounds like a feature, not a bug.
