  1. Re:NA;DV on U.S. Election Day In Progress: What's Been Your Experience? · · Score: 2

    Congratulations. You've found the convergence point of the works of Douglas Adams and David Icke.

  2. Re:But... on D&D Monster Study Proves Eyes Have It · · Score: 2
  3. Re:Obligatory on Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode 7 Due In 2015 · · Score: 1

    Someone mentioned it earlier as well. I guess we shouldn't be surprised that this Disney/Star Wars news results in the nooooooooooooooo site getting slashdotted instead of the original article.

  4. Re:Huh? on Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode 7 Due In 2015 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Minnie must be his sister, then. Donald would be a better choice behind the breathing mask, anyway. Anger leads to the Duck Side.

  5. Re:The PC is dying claims are made every few years on The Greatest Battle of the Personal Computing Revolution Lies Ahead · · Score: 1

    In celebration of the PC valiantly holding on in its fight to remain dead, I'm changing my screen saver to a picture of Abe Vigoda.

  6. In the immortal words of Bryce Harper.... on Are Windows XP/7 Users Smarter Than a 3-Year-Old? · · Score: 1

    That's a clown question, bro.

  7. Re:Drop dead on Saudi Arabia Calls For Global Internet Censorship Body · · Score: 3, Interesting
  8. And yet Fantasy Role Playing games were just fine on World of Warcraft Character Becomes Campaign Issue · · Score: 1

    ... with New England Republicans when their good friend Curt Schilling and his company 38 Studios came knocking on their door asking for loan guarantees to make Kingdoms of Amalur.

    Maybe with all the Steven King settings, Maine would be more into the Horror Survival genre?

  9. Tonight on SyFy... on Researchers Using AI To Build Robotic Bees · · Score: 2

    Irwin Allen and James Cameron proudly present:

    THE SWARMINATOR!

  10. Re:Dumb on Brown Signs California Bill For Free Textbooks · · Score: 1

    Thought process #1: The cost of the average college textbook is closer to $200 than it is to $20.

    Thought process #2: Lots of places these days offer this new-fangled thing called "Free Wifi". Ask your local Starbucks or McDonalds about it.

  11. Re:Dark side, really? on NASA Mulling Earth-Moon L2 Point for Mars Staging Station · · Score: 1

    Yep. And ZZ Top would have you believe there's a shack just outside of the Lagrange point already.

  12. Re:Unfortunately... on YouTube Refuses To Remove Anti-Islamic Film Clip · · Score: 3, Funny

    You can easily generate a whole mob to riot with some encouragement. After all, last year we had a huge riot in Vancouver, Canada over a hockey game.

    Which might also qualify as religious motivation in that country.

  13. Re:I don't care who you are... on Following FEMA's Zombie Preparedness Plan Could Land You On Terrorist List · · Score: 1

    And we've come full circle.

    I suppose you could call that "Ring around the Blue Collar."

  14. Re:A Muslim guy should make this a stand up routin on Following FEMA's Zombie Preparedness Plan Could Land You On Terrorist List · · Score: 1

    And in other news, an individual known only as "Tater Salad" has been added to the FBI's list.

  15. Re:so you lot are promoting ip theft now ? on The Pirate Bay Launches Free VPN · · Score: 1

    And if you made an unauthorized copy of another ship captain's Letter of Marque, would that be privateering piracy?

  16. RPGs: All-around brain activity on Ask Slashdot: Explaining Role-Playing Games To the Uninitiated? · · Score: 1

    Role playing games are a form of social interaction for people with vivid imaginations and half decent math skills. It's a balance between left-brain logic (the gaming system) and right-brain creativity (the gaming story), which is why role playing gamers find it so mentally stimulating.

  17. Re:Can't have it all on US Astronomy Facing Severe Budget Cuts and Facility Closures · · Score: 1

    Yes, but science is stupid to cut. The long term survival of the country is in Science and engineering. If your society doesn't do that, then you are done as a civilized society.

    How about we cut 1 bomber instead?

    Pfft. Typical liberal educated elite liberal overanalytical liberal LIBERAL. Can't keep a grasp on the big picture, now, can you, young'un?

    Here, let me explain: Back in the 50s and 60s, America was on top of the world.

    1950-1963: Top tax bracket: 91-92%
    1964-1969: Top tax bracket: 70-77%

    Are those really the times you want to go back to?

    Current top tax bracket: 35%

  18. Re:Evolution IS a Theory, just like Gravity. on Kentucky Lawmakers Shocked To Find Evolution In Biology Tests · · Score: 1

    Evolution is a theory.

    So is Gravity.

    If you truly believe that scientific theories are invalid simply because you refuse to believe them, go jump off a skyscraper.

  19. Re:Precedent on NASA Morpheus Lander Test Ends In Explosion · · Score: 2

    And that also ended with a large explosion.

  20. Re:you get what you pay for--granted unlimited tim on NASA Morpheus Lander Test Ends In Explosion · · Score: 2

    As always, the only honest answer is "Pick two."

  21. Re:Priorities on Could a Category 5 Hurricane Take Down East Coast Data Centers? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Once an F5 tornado pulls the roof off the server building, you'll really see how data migrates into the cloud.

  22. Training Centers on The Extremes of Internet Gaming In South Korea · · Score: 1

    "to visit their live-in training centers in South Korea is to be treated to a maddening drum roll of clicks and clacks."

    So the secret to successful professional gaming is continually listening to NPR's Car Talk?

  23. Re:Long time WoW player here on World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Launches On September 25 · · Score: 3, Informative

    Your WoW characters don't disappear when you unsubscribe. It's entirely feasible to have multiple high level characters and not be subscribed to the game for long periods of time.

  24. Re:stupid article on The Problem With Metacritic · · Score: 1

    It's called the Four Point Scale for precisely this reason. Professional reviewers are very limited on how severely they can criticize the faults of a game when it comes from a big publisher.

    When the critic reviews of a AAA game are all 80+, but the user reviews are in sub 4.0 red text, tread carefully.

  25. Sesame Street already covered this on What's To Love About C? · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's for cookie.

    That's good enough for me.
