  1. Re:NSFW on A Playable PAC-MAN On Google Doodle · · Score: 1

    If "sound" is NSFW, you need a new job.

  2. Re:"Effectively" is rather subjective on Sony To Detail "Premium PSN" Plans At E3 · · Score: 1

    Yeah not like back in the day, when I used to play Zelda and Mario on my 486 since Nintendo was so willing to release PC versions of their exclusives back then!

  3. Re:Still Cheaper Than Ridiculously Expensive AT&am on Sprint's $199 HTC EVO 4G Gets Release Date of June 4 · · Score: 1

    Same here =) Still using my Mogul after 2.5 years.

  4. Re:Last I checked... on Kid Health Experts Attack Video Game Summer Camp · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...or reading? People are too quick to condemn video games.

  5. Re:File a complaint, don't just talk on Sony Sued Over PS3 "Other OS" Removal · · Score: 1

    Wow, that's pretty bad. Just as a counterpoint, I used 3 different gift cards on the purchase of one item once. Granted, I had a leftover with $3.66 on it that just taunts me, but they didn't hassle me at all.

  6. Brother in active duty on Tweeting From the Front Line · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Right now my brother is in active duty in Afghanistan, and the fact that they have internet from their barracks is huge for their morale, and for the morale of his wife and my parents. The level of communication we can have with him is beyond what I imagine people in any past war would have dreamed possible.

    He got to see his new nephew who was born while he's been deployed thanks to skype.

  7. Re:I guess... on Sony Refuses To Sanction PS3 "Other OS" Refunds · · Score: 1

    I didn't buy Modern Warfare either, and I just bought BF:BC2 because it's got actual PC features.

  8. Re:Question on Crunch Time For IRS Data Centers · · Score: 2, Informative

    Because procrastination is easy! And some people don't know if they're going to get a refund until they bother to fill out their taxes.

    I had to wait this year until my wife got her Schedule K-1 done, which took forever.

  9. Re:Let's do the math. on Murdoch Says E-Book Prices Will Kill Paper Books · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter if he uses his personal best, as the average can't be any lower than the ebook limits of zero.

  10. Re:Javascript performance on Mozilla Firefox 3.6 Released · · Score: 1

    Wow... good to know. I rarely post because it takes so long for the preview to show up.

  11. Re:yeah, but why humanoid robots in the first plac on Why the Uncanny Valley Doesn't Really Matter · · Score: 1
  12. Re:parent != troll on Laser Weapon Shoots Down Airplanes In Test · · Score: 1

    I wanted to moderate it as +1, Redundant

  13. Re:DEAR ESTEEMED SIR OR MADAM on Nigerian "Scam Police" Shut Down 800 Web Sites · · Score: 1

    You used lowercase numbers.

  14. Re:I've always wanted something like this... on The Future Might Be BIOS and Browsers · · Score: 1

    You can't use KB/Mouse as input for most 360 games (I don't know of any you CAN, to be honest) which is why PC FPS gamers will stay on the PC for at least this generation.

  15. Re:Read through his posts... on Lose Your Amazon Account and Your Kindle Dies · · Score: 1

    They don't delete the photos from your computer, nor do they stop letting you view them. If that were the case, it would be just as wrong.

  16. Re:An unfair fight is the point of war on Konami Announces a Game Based On a 2004 Battle In Fallujah · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you're firing RPGs, you're not a non-combatant, no matter how wrong you think the invasion is.

  17. Re:This is a violation of my privacy. on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 1

    We shall see! I for one, welcome...

    Sorry, I can't do it. Unless there is an achievement for posting a formulaic joke...

  18. Re:I'm getting old, I don't understand the New Mat on Safari Beta Takeup Tops Firefox, IE and Chrome · · Score: 1

    The tab/title bar works the same on Windows.

  19. Re:Adding games to Steam on In-Game Web Browser Round-Up · · Score: 1

    This can cause a large performance hit for some games/computers though. On my 2 YO computer, running UT3 with the steam overlay cost me ~25% of my FPS without it.

  20. Re:One way to get more registered voters on Iowa Seeks To Remove Electoral College · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is thanks to what the ACLU calls the Constitution-Free Zone: http://www.aclu.org/privacy/spying/areyoulivinginaconstitutionfreezone.html

    As a resident of Washington State, I've been lucky not to see this kind of thing yet but I may have to do the same as you if it ever happens to me.

  21. Re:How to Lie with Statistics on Mathematics Reading List For High School Students? · · Score: 1

    99% of all names are made up anyway, so it doesn't matter.

  22. WarCloning? on WarCloning, the New WarDriving? · · Score: 4, Funny

    WarDriving = Driving around finding open APs.
    "WarCloning" = Driving around cloning RFID stuff.

    Shouldn't it be "CloneDriving" or something else? Though I suppose all of them are equally dumb. So nevermind...

  23. Re:Tetris randomizer != luck on On Luck and Randomness In Games · · Score: 1

    You must be playing a newer version of Tetris. The page you linked there talks about games post-2001. What about the NES, Gameboy and early PC versions, that were the craze and didn't have those features?

  24. Re:From TFA on Poll Finds 23 Percent of Texans Think Obama is Muslim · · Score: 3, Informative

    A sample size of 550 gives an error rate of less than 5%, assuming they have randomized it.

    See this page for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size

  25. Re:what is so hard about it? on BBC Brings DRM-Free Content To Linux Users · · Score: 1

    ...and a 320x240 display most likely. And smaller storage space than a full computer. Not to mention it's not a good place to run BitTorrent. Those people should probably use a different version of the media. I'm sure they could distribute a 'mobile' version, or someone else could do it if provide the full resolution H.264 video.
