  1. I personally don't care about reviews. It's always made me laugh a little. "Yes, I want to know what other think about said movie, game, etc. so I can determine if it's going to be enjoyable to me." I've watched movies or played games that absolutely bombed the review sites but I absolutely loved them. If I solely relied on reviews before I played a video game or watched a movie, I'd have far more time for cleaning the house, doing dishes, mowing the yard, etc. :)

    I've personally started avoiding reviews for movies I haven't watched or games I haven't played. If I talk to a friend who's played/watch said product, I'll listen and find out what they truly loved/hated about it but review sites... pass until I try it for myself.

    When I read this article, it made me sad that there are people out there like this. They seem to get some relief by trashing a product. It doesn't matter if the product is any good or has value to another person. There's too many comic book movies, lets trash this movie. This game wasn't made on my preferred video game console, let's trash it. It's just sad to see.

  2. I guess this robot wasn't loaded with the three laws...

  3. I guess the important question is... on Once Valued at $125B, Yahoo's Web Assets To Be Sold To Verizon For $4.83B, Companies Confirm · · Score: 1

    Can I still play Yahoo fantasy football?

  4. So Long and Thanks on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot · · Score: 1

    Wow, Slashdot without Rob is like Apple without Steve. I've been coming here for years, everyday. Thanks for keeping slashdot the same great site it has been since I first came to it. Good Luck in whatever future endeavor you decide to do.

  5. Now if we could .... on FTL Currents May Power Pulsar Beams · · Score: 1

    find a mass relay.

  6. Not that it's good, bad, or ugly... on Both Sides of Wii · · Score: 1

    It's just that I got used to calling it the "Nintendo Revolution". I probably still will because 'wii' or 'we' makes me think of "Nintendo Wheeeeee".

  7. Re:Less than 2 feet - weighs less than you'd imagi on Sony's Robot Attends Pre-School · · Score: 1

    So...it's easily kickable when it becomes self-aware and starts to attack the kids?

  8. Re:Perl goodness on Perl 6 Grammars and Regular Expressions · · Score: 5, Funny

    Uh, that's not a web browser, it's clearly a web server.

  9. Familiar Tools on Source Code for CTSS released · · Score: 1, Informative

    On the newsgroup, it's stated " You'll have to know
    a little FAP and MAD to understand it. There are even a few programs in AED-0, an Algol variant."

    Thank god, I thought I was going to have to learn something new...er, old to be able to use it!!!

  10. I remember those days.... on Two Years Before the Prompt: A Linux Odyssey · · Score: 1

    After loading SLS linux way back when. Having a friend look over my shoulder, telling me "now type in 'ls', now type in 'vi'". For the couple of days I was happy being able to list files, check my disk space and read email with elm and pine. :) No KDE, No Gnome, but I had good ole olwm and 30 or so floppies if I messed it up.

    I can't get to the link.....

  11. Die, no. Stop Enterprise, yes. on Should Star Trek Die? · · Score: 1

    I don't really care for the show because it is set in pre-TOS time. It's hard watching that show and seeing that Enterprise and then watching Star Trek the Motion Picture and seeing that Enterprise. I hate seeing the new props on the show and the old props on the movie because the show is set before the movie. I guess that's my main problem with Star Wars episodes 4,5 and 6 being filmed before 1,2, and 3. I do wish that the Star Trek series would stop for a while. I'd like to see the movies continue but I heard that the TNG characters are no longer going to be used in the movies. What a pity.

  12. Re:Well, the EFF will hear the argument.... on Government Asks Court to Keep ID Arguments Secret · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Seems the bigger issue is the governments request/demand that the arguments be sealed. Even if Gillmore and his attorneys were able to attend, the arguments being kept from the public is still a bad thing! Hope this doesn't become a precedent for future government hearings regarding privacy/patriotism.

  13. Re:Let the puns role... on Disney Enters PC Market · · Score: 0

    "It features a Mickey(or Minnie if your a girl) Mouse."

    You can you browse the "Small World Wide Web" with it.

    I thought it was more of a rumor.

    Not to mention, it takes a long time to *start* a suit that goes to court.

  16. Missed their goal on Microsoft has Delayed SP2, Again · · Score: 5, Funny

    I heard they were after a "4 out of 5" failure rate.

    I think the buttons and knobs control things like the oilslick and exhaust cloud. :)

  20. Re:The Lesson on Projectionists Using Night Vision Goggles in Theaters · · Score: 0

    I thought it was don't go to the movies and make out with your girlfriend/wife/life-partner because the projectionists have night vision goggles and they can see you.

  21. So? on Spiderman 2 Trailer · · Score: 1, Funny

    What's so great about spider-man's trailer? I lived in a double wide for years. Don't see anyone getting excited about that. Oh, his probably is full of webs and he probably sleeps in a web-hammock. I Got it.

  22. Re:Mission on A Babe in Tuxland · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You're right. My four year old can already configure a printer, setup a network and install drivers for her new wireless card in Windows since it's so easy. So, it must be Linux thats giving her issues. I'll go unload it when I get home.

  23. Next big thing.... on Sony Hints on PS3, PSP, and PS2 Plans · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm already bored with the PS3 stuff. I like to look ahead. I'm interested in the PS4/Microwave/Can Opener/Satellite Radio Combo. Definately want the stand-alone on something like that.

  24. Re:Bad Marketing on PC Case For Hamsters, EZ Bake Oven in a Drive Bay · · Score: 1

    I was unsure about the hair, bones, teeth, and eyes. Well, I guess you could filet the little guy before you slide him in.

  25. I gotta stop... on PC Case For Hamsters, EZ Bake Oven in a Drive Bay · · Score: 1

    clicking refresh on slashdot for today. Too many AF stories. I'm starting to think that Google job on the moon might not be so bad.
