  1. Re:Linux Steam on Halo Developer Bungie Reveals Destiny and Its Vision of MMO Gaming · · Score: 1

    From the website, it's only for the Xbox360 and PS3. It's just another run-of-the-mill shooter like Halo.

    The next big thing(TM) game should be Titan, from Blizzard.

  2. Re:Linux Steam on Halo Developer Bungie Reveals Destiny and Its Vision of MMO Gaming · · Score: 1

    Console-only means no keyboard and no mouse which means not a real MMORPG.

  3. Hopefully on Halo Developer Bungie Reveals Destiny and Its Vision of MMO Gaming · · Score: 1

    I hope this game will not be exclusive to Microsoft platforms. There's gamers on the Mac, too. And hopefully Bungie won't use something like Cider for their Mac version and will do native OS X code instead.

    ELAINE: No, no . . . but it is quite a coincidence.

    RAVA: Yes, that's all, a coincidence!

    ELAINE: A big coincidence.

    RAVA: Not a big coincidence. A coincidence!

    ELAINE: No, that's a big coincidence.

    RAVA: That's what a coincidence is! There are no small coincidences and big coincidences!

    ELAINE: No, there are degrees of coincidences.

    RAVA: No, there are only coincidences! ..Ask anyone! (Enraged, she asks everyone in the elevator) Are there big coincidences and small coincidences, or just coincidences? (Silent) ..Well?! Well?!..

    (Everyone just kinda shrugs, then murmurs. The elevator doors open)

  6. Re:I wonder if... on Asteroid 2012 DA14 Approaches · · Score: 1

    Let's say for a second that intelligent design proponents are right. That you are also right in that aliens created us. This doesn't answer the underlying question: why do these aliens exist? Was it evolution or intelligent design? Repeat until you're bored to death.

  7. Re:No really, it's jQuery that's broken on WebKit As Broken As Older IE Versions? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Loading a 80KB library and adding yet another layer of interpreted code for something that takes five lines of javascript is also stupid.

    What's worst is libraries that require jQuery to do stupid stuff like cross-fading. The browser doesn't support it? Screw it and just switch the images. If the browser is too old, the hardware is probably too old to do a smooth cross-fading too anyway.

  8. Re:Not Flash, but Silverlight on Six Months Without Adobe Flash, and I Feel Fine · · Score: 1

    And someone should stop reading threads backward.

  9. Re:Not Flash, but Silverlight on Six Months Without Adobe Flash, and I Feel Fine · · Score: 1

    Someone forgot about Silverlight.

  10. Re:Kill Corn Subsidies! on Corn Shortage Hampers US Ethanol Production · · Score: 1

    The result is also that candy manufacturing has now largely moved to Mexico and Canada. Net result: more jobs. Good job.

    Good job indeed!

  11. Re:And I should give a rat's ass... on Apple Said To Be Working On a 'Watch-Like Device' · · Score: 1, Redundant

    What do you mean? An African or European swallow?

  12. Obligatory cartoon on Surface Pro Sold Out; Was It Just Understocked? · · Score: 2
  13. Re:Yay, more content for Dice Holding's Slashdot.o on Facebook's Graph Search: Kiss Your Privacy Goodbye · · Score: 2

    Be sure and spend lots of time posting something insightful since all this whole submission is meant to do is generate hits from search engines!

  14. Re:Less demand on Hard Drive Revenue About To Take a Double-Digit Dip · · Score: 1

    You mean like their last stunt, flooding a huge area just to increase hard drive prices? Talk about lame.

  15. Re:2000 year old? on Transparent Transistors Printed On Paper · · Score: 2

    Silicone: ( . )( . ) implants
    Silicon: computer chips to render 3D virtual ( . )( . )

    FTFY

  16. Re:Is it Green or is it Transparent? on Transparent Transistors Printed On Paper · · Score: 1

    If you think it is confusing, you should see who created the nanopaper transistor. It's the Invisible Pink Unicorn.

    Oh wait, you won't see her either.

  17. Re:And of course ... on Amazon Patents 'Maintaining Scarcity' of Goods · · Score: 1

    You cannot compare a poor person from a first-world country with someone from a non-first-world country because their living expenses are not the same. You would not be able to live with $3,608 a year in the USA but in India it's the per capita purchasing power parity (PPP), in US dollars.

  18. Re:Cue the on FCC Proposal Would Cover the US With Public Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    And I'm sorry you don't understand the difference between reading abilities and content structure.

  19. Re:Cue the on FCC Proposal Would Cover the US With Public Wi-Fi · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Unfortunately that someone doesn't have a clue on how to use the title vs the body of his comment.

  20. Re:Judging By the Title on Does US Owe the World an Education At Its Expense? · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that it should be "Does the USA owe the world an education at its expense?". Otherwise it's being read as "Does the us" as in "Does the we".

    I've never understood why english titles capitalize every word either.

  21. Video? What video? on CES: Bringing Electronics Assembly and Distribution to Central Africa (Video) · · Score: 1

    All I see is a black rectangle with "You need to have the Adobe Flash Player to view this content" in it.

    I pity the foo that can't get into a bar.

    That's totally untrue. He was a light pepsi user.
