  1. Is life like an RPG? Sure on Life Imagined As One Big RPG · · Score: 1

    If you take RPG to mean rocket-propelled grenade.

  2. Re:How many likely customers? on New Linux-Based Laptop For Computer Newbies · · Score: 1

    327. Definitely 327 new customers. 327 new potential customers. Definitely. WHOOP WHOOP.

    (it's marketing, duder, they're talking it up, that's what marketing people are supposed to do)

  3. Re:Fate? on Google Buys iPhone Search App, Kills It · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Troll mod? LOL. Someone forget to eat their Cheerios this morning?

  4. Re:Fate? on Google Buys iPhone Search App, Kills It · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's the app store, 20 clones will pop up soon enough.

    Like I said, it'll be incorporated into some version of gmail down the line. (My guess anyway)

  5. Fate? on Google Buys iPhone Search App, Kills It · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It'll be "re-incorporated" into some distant version of gmail.

    Otherwise, buying an app like this and not using it is a complete and utter waste of time.

  6. Re:I will on Who Will Control the Cost of the NYT On Digital Readers? · · Score: 1

    Not that I want an actual newspaper, but the premise of the article is wrong. The NYTimes will not control the price, the consumer will. If $30 is too much, no one will pay that much. Then the Times will hem and haw about it and claim that they need a helping hand or something from the .gov (could happen) or, they'll go the smart route and realize that people will pay a reasonable price for content.

    It's been this way forever. I don't understand why companies don't get this. Hi, NYTimes, get your frigging marketing department out on the street and ask people what they'd be willing to pay. Don't arbitrarily set some ridiculous (IMO) price for content. KTHXBAI.

  7. Re:2.5" drives only on A Hybrid Approach For SSD Speed From Your 2TB HDD · · Score: 3, Funny

    LOL, nerd fight. Someone call a doctor, they might get a paper-cut.

  8. Re:I say MEH to you sir. MEH indeed. on A Look Into the Chinese Hacker Underworld · · Score: 1

    Another thing, a true "leet speaker" wouldn't have mangled frogging leet hacker the way I did.

    Oh well....me goes back to my precious networks...oh, the hacking, it burns....

    Slashdot requires you to wait between each successful posting of a comment to allow everyone a fair chance at posting a comment.

    It's been too damned soon since you last successfully posted a comment

  9. I say MEH to you sir. MEH indeed. on A Look Into the Chinese Hacker Underworld · · Score: 1

    Harrumph!

    A true 133+ |-|4[|3R would never sit around in their mom's house reppin' kuh-nowledge bout no goog hack. They'd be too busy climbing out from under the giant pile of soaked panties they'd have thrown at them.

    Dude = fake.

  10. Re:Best comics on "Calvin and Hobbes" Creator Bill Watterson Looks Back With No Regrets · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The thing about C&H, to me, was that Watterson didn't dumb down his comic. It was just a story about a boy, his tiger, and the adventures they'd have growing up. It had wonderful imagination, wonderful commentary on life, and was more amusing than funny, IMO.

    Greatest comic of all time, IMO....ranked 1A with Farside being 1B.

  11. Re:Old news on Will Your Super Bowl Party Anger the Copyright Gods? · · Score: 1

    This is not entirely true, there are several NFL stadiums that were paid for solely by the team owners. Crazy concept, I know.

  12. Re:Because on Why Has No One Made a Great Gaming Phone? · · Score: 1

    No, your phone is a phone that you happen to use as a web browser and an SMS device.

    I guess I should slowdown, cowboy.....commencing operation slowdown...NOW.

    Two minutes between posts is lamer than a 2 legged horse, btw.

  13. Re:Old news on Will Your Super Bowl Party Anger the Copyright Gods? · · Score: 1

    The NFL makes Billions and billions of dollars a year themselves. This isn't some mom and pop operation. You lawyer would be up against other lawyers just as good if not better than anyone on his staff.

    The 500lb gorilla and the 800lb gorilla fighting would be fun to watch.

  14. Re:Because on Why Has No One Made a Great Gaming Phone? · · Score: 1

    Mostly agree.

    Games are for computers, whether that be a regular desktop/laptop, or a gaming system.

    Phones are not gaming systems. Not to mention stuff like the battery life would need to be much much better.

    In other words: Why can't my toaster play games?

    Because it's a toaster.

  15. Re:What super bowl party? on Will Your Super Bowl Party Anger the Copyright Gods? · · Score: 1

    No they don't. Geeks have lan parties. Nerds have wedgie parties...by themselves.

  16. Re:That's awesome! on Neurons Created Directly From Skin Cells · · Score: 1

    Dude, did you not even read the summary?

    I'm lazy, so usually I don't before I write some knee-jerk reactionary crap, but I thought I was alone in that.

    (Note I'm saying "I" write that stuff, not you.)

  17. Re:CompTIA on CompTIA Reneges, Reconsiders on Lifetime Certifications · · Score: 1, Insightful

    100% agree.

    Real world (IE, not at your school) experience is all that matters to people who run good IT departments.

    Who cares if you graduated Cum Lordy from some stupid school? All that shows is you can study well. Big whoop. Can you think intelligently about a problem? Can you go from A to X instead of A,B,C,D, etc..? That's what matters, IMO.

  18. Re:On the far side of the moon? on SETI Founder Outlines Ambitious Future Plans · · Score: 1

    I was thinking*...wouldn't it be exciting and ridiculously scary at the same time if they ever do confirm there is other life out there? I mean, when you really think about it, wow. Just mind blowing and horrifying at the same time.

    All that said, hell, I hope they succeed.

    *Ouch, that hurts!

  19. On the far side of the moon? on SETI Founder Outlines Ambitious Future Plans · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't that be like crossing the street?

    Actually, wouldn't that be like staying on one 6 inch stretch of asphalt on a small block on a small street in a tiny neighborhood in a small city in a huge state in a huge country on a huge planet?

  20. Re:Who the heck is 'Top'??? on Data Breach Costs Top $200 Per Customer Record · · Score: 1

    They make baseball/football/whatever cards.

    But yes, more to the point, it appears a monkey with bird flu banging on the keyboard while vomiting violently wrote the subject.

    Oh YAY!

    Like the Air Traffic Controllers union wasn't ALREADY spamming the air waves enough with their crap, now we get to hear from all the unions. Good stuff. It's not bad enough we get stupid ads slandering the crap out of whatever goober is running for office by another goober running for office, now unions are gonna weigh in too.
