  1. Re:And the Spinning BeachBall of Death? Sad Mac? on Classic Mac Icons Archive Bought By MOMA · · Score: 2

    My favorite to this day is still "Error: keyboard not found. Press F1 to continue."

  2. Re:Free as in beer on In the Age of Free AAA Game Engines, Where Does Our Open Source Engine Stand? · · Score: 1

    But how far from free are each of those three AAA engines?

  3. It's big on The Astronomer Who Brought Us the Universe · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space. - Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

  4. No link? on Chinese Government Takes Down Anti-Pollution Documentary "Under The Dome" · · Score: 4, Funny

    I guess there's so much smog that even links can't be seen.

  5. Re:Nope. on NBC Thinks Connected Gloves and "Bullet Time" Can Make Boxing Cool · · Score: 1

    Isn't there already a few movies with that concept?

  6. Re:Gee, thanks Texas on Come and Take It, Texas Gun Enthusiasts (Video) · · Score: 1

    I'm sure there's a dozen companies out there, but this is the one most of us will recognize:

  7. Re:What is systemd exactly? on Ubuntu To Officially Switch To systemd Next Monday · · Score: 1

    As I can recall, 10.4 was the first really good and stable OS X version.

  8. Re:beta lovers use systemd on Ubuntu To Officially Switch To systemd Next Monday · · Score: 1

    The first half was a very good science-fiction movie, reminded me a bit about The Black Hole from Disney.

    The second half was a bad horror movie.

  9. What is systemd exactly? on Ubuntu To Officially Switch To systemd Next Monday · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Can someone explain to us Windows and OS X users, without using acronyms and Linux-only mumbo-jumbo, what exactly is systemd and why do we keep hearing so much about it?

    Telling us to go read a wikipedia page probably won't help because it will be either too long to read, too complex or require knowledge about other topics to understand.

  10. Re:beta lovers use systemd on Ubuntu To Officially Switch To systemd Next Monday · · Score: 1

    and their favorite movies are Event Horizon and Battlefield Earth.

  11. Japan is the future on In 10 Years, Every Human Connected To the Internet Will Have a Timeline · · Score: 1

    You know all these kids, teens and young adults who are virtual shut-ins in Japan? Now imagine that 95% of the world population is like that.

    The only way to beat this "timeline" problem is to have as little direct interaction with people as possible.

    The good news is, a huge percentage of Slashdot readers have nothing to fear.

  12. If it requires Windows 8.1, doesn't it mean the Xbox One controller is not compliant with the usual HID for gamepads/controllers?

  13. Star Trek fan? on Musician Releases Album of Music To Code By · · Score: 1

    If you're a fan of ST:TNG, try this or that for background noise.

  14. Re:The Force... on Harrison Ford's Plane Crashes On Golf Course · · Score: 1

    He was piloting a WW2-era plane, implying that all references have to be related to Indiana Jones.

  15. More cons than pros on Ask Slashdot: Should I Let My Kids Become American Citizens? · · Score: 1

    Your own list makes it sound like it's more trouble than it's worth.

  16. Re:Eyes wide open on Developers Race To Develop VR Headsets That Won't Make Users Nauseous · · Score: 1

    I think you'll have to wait for Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball 69.

  17. Re:Nauseated. on Developers Race To Develop VR Headsets That Won't Make Users Nauseous · · Score: 1

    The smell of farts makes me nauseous.

  18. I've never installed a credit card at the back of my monitor, but if that works for you then I'm happy.

  19. ... just don't put stickers in the front.

  20. Those Intel NUC makes the Apple Mac mini look like an Apple Mac Maxi.

    Wake up, Apple. The company providing the CPUs for your computers can make computers smaller than your own.

  21. Re:For those that don't read foreign on Intel Reveals Unlocked, Socketed Broadwell and Core i7 NUC With Iris Graphics · · Score: 1

    They'll never learn if you keep helping them convert in their kid-friendly system.

  22. Re:Well, not 'free'. on Source 2 Will Also Be Free · · Score: 1

    I was planning on having my game pirated and make up the loss in volume.

  23. FREE free or "free with strings attached"? on Source 2 Will Also Be Free · · Score: 1

    Unreal Engine 4 is "free" but has some strings attached if you make over x$ in profit, requires x% of your profits every months, possible audits, etc.

    Is Source 2 better in that regard?

    And what about all three on the technical side? Can all three make native code for Windows, OS X, Linux, iOS, Android, Wii U, Xbox One, PS4, Intellivision, etc?

  24. Re:"Russia Today"? Seriously? on Inside the Weird World of 3D Printed Body Parts · · Score: 1

    People like you suck the fun out of everything.

    Same as when my girlfriend plays with my funny bone.

  25. Re:iMac on NVIDIA Announces SHIELD Game Console · · Score: 1

    But an iMac has always been a desktop computer, Apple has different names for different categories of products such as iMac, MacBook, Mac mini, etc.

    The three pieces of nVidia hardware are all called "SHIELD" (all uppercaps too it seems) and it makes me believe they're all compatible with each other. I didn't bother to look it up because I don't care about it.
