  1. Japan? on Iron Man 3 To Debut As a 4DX Film In Japan · · Score: 3, Funny

    If you plan on going to see Iron Man 3 in Japan, remember to look under your seat to disable the robotic tentacles.

  2. Re:ha on Iron Man 3 To Debut As a 4DX Film In Japan · · Score: 2

    Well, have you looked at the HTML, CSS and Javascript source code of Slashdot lately?

  3. Re:Question about theoretical limits of vacuum on Interviews: Ask Freeman Dyson What You Will · · Score: 1

    They're expensive because they use nanoscopic black holes as the vacuum source. That's why they run without electricity and you never have to empty them out.

  4. Re:Fewer Polymaths in the Modern World? on Interviews: Ask Freeman Dyson What You Will · · Score: 1

    I would like to offer a smart reply to your obviously intelligent question, however I got stuck at the word "polymath".

  5. Re:Open Source License on Most Projects On GitHub Aren't Open Source Licensed · · Score: 0

    Only because he thought BSD meant "Bitch, Suck my Dick".

  6. Re:Even then... on Google Fiber To Come To Provo, Utah · · Score: 1

    Maybe that's why they called it "X" instead of "10".

  7. Re:Microsoft has accounts? on Microsoft Hops On Two-Factor Authentication Bandwagon · · Score: 1

    I was obviously referring to Metroid and Super Metroid. Trying to play Metroid Prime with a gamepad like the ones on the PS3 or the Xbox360 would be a nightmare.

  8. Re:Mega Man, Metroid, and New Play Control on Microsoft Hops On Two-Factor Authentication Bandwagon · · Score: 1

    1. Mega Man Legends was one of the worst games I've ever played.
    2. Anyone who considers 2-D games "relic" isn't worth arguing with.

  9. Re:Big cities?? on Google Fiber To Come To Provo, Utah · · Score: 1

    And since it's Bell, that 175 Mbps will be useless after about an hour or two of downloading. They have some of the worst monthly caps I've ever heard of.

  10. Re:Probably too many. on Ask Slashdot: What Magazines Do You Still Read? · · Score: 1

    You can get much more, but only if we're talking about quantity and not quality. There's a difference between a nice photo of a woman in a nurse outfit taken in a studio and a photo of a naked drunken slut on a hotel bed.

  11. Re:In Canada on Canadian Official Escorted From House For Others' Facebook Comments · · Score: 1

    Wrong country, treeves.

  12. Re:Microsoft has accounts? on Microsoft Hops On Two-Factor Authentication Bandwagon · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't want to play Mega Man or Metroid with a keyboard and a mouse.

  13. Re:Probably too many. on Ask Slashdot: What Magazines Do You Still Read? · · Score: 1

    2) Playboy. Had a subscription since '89. Don't judge me.

    High-resolution scans of all the photos or it didn't happen.

  14. Re:Also on Slashdot.jp on Ask Slashdot: What Magazines Do You Still Read? · · Score: 1

    Given that we're talking about Slashdot Japan, the survey should be a multiple choice question:
    - Tentacles
    - Android
    - Demon
    - Virtual idol

  15. Re:None on Ask Slashdot: What Magazines Do You Still Read? · · Score: 1

    I also own thousands of sheets of paper and I agree with you.

  16. Re:None on Ask Slashdot: What Magazines Do You Still Read? · · Score: 1

    ... reading a magazine is much easier on the eyes than a tablet with an LCD screen

    FTFY.

  17. Re:Microsoft has accounts? on Microsoft Hops On Two-Factor Authentication Bandwagon · · Score: 0

    Steam, Battle.net, Gmail.

    No Microsoft in sight!

  18. Re:Big cities?? on Google Fiber To Come To Provo, Utah · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Now imagine how long people in Shawinigan, Québec, Canada will have to wait.

  19. Re:Not fair to call it Google fiber on Google Fiber To Come To Provo, Utah · · Score: 1

    You're right about Siri, my mistake. In the case of Thunderbolt, AFAIK it was developed jointly with Intel, so apart from the different name I don't think it's anything like Google Fiber.

    I guess OS X would be a better example, since Apple bought NeXT and used its OS as the basis for OS X.

  20. Re:Funny timing with CISPA vote today... on Google Fiber To Come To Provo, Utah · · Score: 1

    Canadians can at least try to do something about it:

  21. Re:Not fair to call it Google fiber on Google Fiber To Come To Provo, Utah · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Google, Microsoft and Apple do the same thing. If it's something bought from someone else, they re-brand it. Examples include Google Fiber, MS-DOS and Siri.

  22. Re:Power Density ? on Researchers Report Super-Powered Battery Breakthrough · · Score: 1

    Don't be so dense, h4rr4r is obviously an energetic power-user!

  23. Re:In Canada on Canadian Official Escorted From House For Others' Facebook Comments · · Score: 4, Funny

    And we apologize for that, too.

  24. Castor beans? on Ricin Tainted Letter Sent to Senator and Possibly the President · · Score: 1

    In french, a castor is a beaver. Reading "castor beans" is somewhat confusing.

  25. $2000? on Anonymous Raises Over $54,000 For Dedicated Your Anon News Website · · Score: 0

    The initial target was to raise $2000 to fund the site development work as well as pay for initial hosting.

    First of all, $2000 to get a website won't get you far, unless you like in a very small town of 10K people or so. And given the traffic that will be generated, I'm not even sure $2000 would have been enough to pay for one year of hosting.

    My question is: did they pull that $2000 figure out of their asses?
