  1. Re:HOW could you LEAVE OFF the ULTIMATE amiga game on Top 10 'Most Influential' Amiga Games · · Score: 1

    Yeah that is classic! I died over 1000 times just thinking about playing it!

  2. Re:Patent ? Idea ? on Researchers Find Potential Cure for Cancer · · Score: 1

    Patenting an idea?! ...first thing I noticed too.

    Anyway, I'm a believer in natural remedies and something I found out about from a friend of a friend is Gumbi Gumbi leaf, which Australian aboriginals use as a natural cancer treatment. Apparently, everyone who uses it has nothing but positive results and the only "side-effect" is as much as you would expect from a detox program because it flushes out your whole system.

    These guys believe in it so much from all the feedback they get that it makes me wonder if it will turn out to be the next penicillin-type story.

  3. BLAZEMONGER on What if Game Graphics Never Aged? · · Score: 1

    .kkrieger is impressive but NOTHING is as excellent as BLAZEMONGER.

  4. Re:Wow! What a question to ask on Slashdot... on Hackers, Spelling, and Grammar? · · Score: 1

    "future" not "futcher"

    In English, a common rule (while often broken) is that a word with vowel-consonant-vowel usually makes the first vowel a long sound. More than one consonant usually makes it sound short.

    long "u" in future: pr. fyoo-ture
    short "u" in futcher: pr. futch-er

    long "a" in "bake"
    long "i" in "like"
    short "o" in "sock"
    short "e" in "bed"

    Knowing this rule helps with pronounciation as well as spelling.

    Starlight, star bright, first-of-its-kind star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, get laid tonight.

  8. Re:how to make your case rust really really fast on Electrolytic Etching, For What A Dremel Can't Do · · Score: 1

    uh, no. I did not find it useful. I did, however, find it one of the most useless Web pages I have ever come across. There are no products, no order forms, no contact details, no feedback form to speak of, no nothing.

    I know people are concerned about privacy, but this is ridiculous. You could probably generate more business with a blank page.

    Do I need X-Ray vision or something to see this feedback form you mention?

  9. Re:how to make your case rust really really fast on Electrolytic Etching, For What A Dremel Can't Do · · Score: 1

    About your page on soundproofing, can I ask how do you obtain any business at all?

    "The idea behind the site is making it as simple as possible for you the customer to analyse and order the products required for your noise problems"

    Where are the products on your page? Where is the order form? There is no way to contact you at all.

    "We hope that you will find this site useful..."

    Honestly, do you think _anyone_ could find it useful?

  10. Re:Typo on DirectX9 - For More Than Just Gamers? · · Score: 1

    Re: Why should they?
    Spoken and written language is the basic form of human communication. Are any of your excuses justifiable? Apparently, you strive for mediocrity.

    Re: IF... THEN... ELSE logic
    Maybe if I compared it with "IF... THAN... ELSE" it would make it easier for you to understand.

    Re: "sexual matters"
    Have you considered the word "fucking" can be used as an intensive? Take your mind out of the gutter, dickhead.

    Re: "impossible for everyone to have above average skills"
    Geeks are meant to have above average skills. Can you please highlight where I had referred to all average people needing above average skills? Clearly, you did not recognize the fact I was contextually referring to geeks.

    Re: Why should others learn things...
    First, you should learn there is no space between a question mark and the last word of a sentence. Secondly, imagine a world where language matters little. By your logic, we should all be grunting and living in caves. Maybe you mean we should all know how to talk but not know how to write. What a glorious vision you have.

  11. Re:What did they have before, 41 1/3 people? on ZigBee Alliance Triples in Size · · Score: 1

    124 / 3 = 41.333

    Maybe they had a few really fat people that are too big to be just one one person.

  12. Re:Typo on DirectX9 - For More Than Just Gamers? · · Score: 1, Redundant

    How does a crowd of geeks not understand basic grammar?

    Like, doesn't every geek recognize the IF... THEN... ELSE logic?

    I am going to take this opportunity to say to all the people who make mistakes like this: Whenever you hear about illiteracy problems, you are part of the statistics.

    Hemos is meant to be amongst the king of geeks, operating Slashdot and all. Maybe Slashdot should be News For Dumbass Illiterate Nerds instead.

    If you cannot spell very well and/or often cannot use correct grammar then you are just fucking ignorant and you need to recognize this fact. You lack basic knowledge and for it you should have "I am ignorant" stamped on your forehead daily until you at least achieve above average communication abilities.

    It's about time these people went back to third grade to learn basic English.

    "Sitti's prototype is especially impressive considering researchers didn't really know how water skimmers actually walked on water until last year.

    The bugs support themselves on water because they're not heavy enough to break the surface tension of water, like a needle that floats."
