  1. Nature will find a way!

  2. Pageviews vs Unique Visitors on The Most Popular Product Of All Time · · Score: 0

    Pageviews vs Unique Visitors Isn't that number is skewed because of how many unique people bought multiple iPhones due to wear/tear and/or planned obsolescence. I know I didn't have to buy 5-8 copies of The Lord of the Rings to utilize it for it's lifetime. - Mmm.... McDonald's Hamburgers.

  3. Golden rule! on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Recover From Doxxing? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I understand you're trying to avoid further publicity, but you left the context of your crisis blank. Why are you a personality that's driving these people to bombard you? In the off chance this was retaliation for a negative action on your part, use this as a life lesson to behave better. Golden rule!

  4. iConsole 2 on Can We Trust Apple To Make a Good Games Console? · · Score: 1

    I'm going to wait for the iConsole 2 to come out; it'll have more features and cost less.

  5. The Salvation Army on Ask Slashdot: Making Donations Count · · Score: 1

    I'm super fond of The Salvation Army as their philosophy is a hand up not a hand out, and you can restrict your donation if you want to donate to something specific like your local area or children's camp (simply put the intended use on the memo line of your check).

  6. Why ask why? on First Games Inducted Into the World Video Game Hall of Fame · · Score: 1

    I'm personally curious about why they started with such a short list of inductees. I strongly support WoW's inclusion, but it does seem weird to include in the first six versus the history of gaming itself. Angry Birds being on the list of finalists angries up my blood. Why Doom instead of Wolfenstein?

  7. Cause of Death on SurveyMonkey's CEO Dies While Vacationing With Wife Sheryl Sandberg · · Score: 1

    I'm not asking for a full autopsy report, but I'm tired of "famous person dies from undisclosed cause." Was it natural causes or something else? I know this may not be the case here, but I hate when people celebrate a person who dies in a less than noble manner (example: celebrity role model dieing from drug overdose)

  8. BL:TPS on 2K, Australia's Last AAA Studio, Closes Its Doors · · Score: 3, Funny

    I blame Pickle. I friggin hate that guy.

  9. Kickstarter on How Mission Creep Killed a Gaming Studio · · Score: 1

    Stretch rewards you say? Me wantee Tides of Numenera.

  10. Example on Netflix Cracks Down On VPN and Proxy "Pirates" · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Example: Community is only available on Hulu Plus in the USA, but its available on Swedish Netflix.

  11. Supply and Demand on The Pirate Bay Responds To Raid · · Score: 1

    Frankly, even if TPB is a "bad thing," I'm glad it exists for the shear notion of showing media holders that their current distribution methods need refinement. Take Valve/Steam as a prime example on how to improve on cost/distribution versus the piracy that existed beforehand.

  12. Polar Direction on Oxytocin Regulates Sociosexual Behavior In Female Mice · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Personally, I'm kinda curious if this could lead to pest control solutions by reducing breeding.

  13. What? on Australia OKs Dumping Dredge Waste In Barrier Reef · · Score: 1

    I understand what dredging is, but what is the composition of dredge waste? Non-native soil/rocks/sand? Percentages of whatever they're doing?

  14. Thank Goodness on US Treasury Completes Bailout of General Motors · · Score: 1

    Thank goodness we spent all that money saving 600,000 pensions. Why can't we ever just use the 10 billion to pay the pension and let a dead weight company fall? Heaven forbid we try to bailout out the wagon wheel making companies.

  15. Apple Account on What Apple Does and Doesn't Know About You · · Score: 2

    Why do I need a Apple account to download free apps?

  16. Code Comments on What Are the Genuinely Useful Ideas In Programming? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What about code comments? I hated doing it for starters, but when you're working with something big or revisiting code after long period of period, it's invaluable.

  17. "Boxed" Comments on Come Try Out Slashdot's New Design (In Beta) · · Score: 1

    Personally, I prefer the way comments are "boxed" with an outline rather than this enormous use of white space. When there's a huge line of comments, where's the end() function?

  18. 70 Minute Review of Phantom Menace on An Animated, Open Letter To J.J. Abrams About Star Wars · · Score: 1

    If you've never watched the 70 minute review of Phantom Menace, you should. Just Google it. It hits the nail on the head about why the originals are so much "better" than the prequels.

  19. Re:State of game is ambiguous. on Game Preview: Firefall (video) · · Score: 1

    I've been playing on and off for months. I really like it but it doesn't have replay value yet. PvE is fun but limited, and while I've never been a PvP'er, I didn't like the arena matches. They have made massive changes over prior months which is a double edged sword. It means they're changing/fixing things, but if there isn't a fixed direction, when is it going to be "done"? Motorbike races anyone?

  20. Sexual Tension on Peter Capaldi Unveiled As the New Star of Doctor Who · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm rather excited to see an "older" Doctor. I've grown weary of the "sexual tension" between the Doctor and his recent assistants. Donna Noble was glorious as she/the Doctor so violently opposed to it..

  21. 50 DKP Minus! on World of Warcraft Film Shooting Begins Early 2014 · · Score: 1

    MORE DOTS! 50 DKP MINUS! Maybe they'll finally find Mankrik's wife.

  22. sol.exe on What Early Software Was Influential Enough To Deserve Acclaim? · · Score: 2

    Solitaire

  23. Mountain Dew Throwback on Scientists Create New Gasoline Substitute Out of Plants · · Score: 1

    Nooooooooooooo! You can't take my Mountain Dew Throwback back. All your sugar cane are belong to me.

  24. Marklars on What 'Negative Temperature' Really Means · · Score: 1

    For laymen laymens: A negative marklar can be reached by reducing the marklar to marklar.

  25. Price/Competition on Hostess To Close; No More Twinkies · · Score: 1

    I'm a huge Hostess fan, but their prices were always ridiculous in compares to competitors.

    Hostess creme filled chocolate cupcakes are heaven, but with Little Debbie being 2/3's the price, it's a no brainer.
