  1. Re:Indie Royale Bundle on New Humble Indie Bundle Goes Live · · Score: 1

    No mac support, no care.

  2. Re:Humble Bundle 1 on Humble Bundle 2 Is Live · · Score: 1

    You want citation, I got your citations! http://www.4colorrebellion.com/archives/2010/05/11/gamers-are-awesome-gamers-are-assholes-observations-from-the-humble-bundle/ People pirated something you could get for near free.

  3. Re:Thanks Senator Ron Wyden (D)! on Oregon Senator Seeks To Block COICA · · Score: 1

    Because it doesn't matter. People shouldn't be voting on party affiliation as much as they should be voting for people who do the right things.

  4. Re:What's the deal with the rush of TSA stories re on TSA Pats Down 3-Year-Old · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The TSA's actions are completely, utterly, and without recourse illegal under the laws described in the US Constitution. Unfortunately, the Constitution doesn't provide average citizens with any way to punish the people in power who perform these illegal acts or who mandate that these illegal acts be performed.

    See Amendment 2

  5. Updating passwords is dumb at best on Most Americans Support an Internet Kill Switch · · Score: 1

    Frequently updating your password is more a security hazard than just using a single secure one.

  6. Re:Organic argument on Just One Out of 16 Hybrids Pays Back In Gas Savings · · Score: 1

    You mean the fact that "Organic farming" couldn't even feed enough people on this planet and would leave billions starving? It's easy to say "I want more organic farming" when you're not one of the billions of people who would be starving from lack of food.

  7. Re:Misleading summary on Just One Out of 16 Hybrids Pays Back In Gas Savings · · Score: 1

    You talk as if gas cost is a constant and doesn't fluctuate up to as high as $3.50

  8. Re:Forget price fixing, what about resolution fixi on Samsung, Toshiba, Others Accused of LCD Price-Fixing · · Score: 1

    Bring on the retina displays for computers!

  9. Re:30 inch HP LP3605 here @ 2560x1600 on HDTV Has Ruined the LCD Market · · Score: 1

    People seem to forget that printers need the super high resolution because they don't have nearly the color gradient that a monitor has. Every pixel on my monitor can display 1 in a (sic) millions colors. Most printers offer up to at most 7 possible colors for a single "pixel". Thus at a much higher dpi, it can better estimate the actual color you wanted. Honestly, 300 dpi x millions of colors should be enough for anyone.

  10. Re: You know what 's better than a tumbleweed? on Could the Tumbleweed Rover Dominate Mars? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, because THAT doesn't have any complications, and is very easy to design and work around.

  11. Re:lame on MIT Offers Picture-Centric Programming To the Masses With Sikuli · · Score: 1

    The sikuli language supports fuzziness. You can actually have a "close match", and you can set the tolerance.

  12. Bugzilla and Wiki on What Does Everyone Use For Task/Project Tracking? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    A combination of Bugzilla and Wiki. Wiki keeps track of backlog. Bugzilla keeps track of tasks.

  13. Complexity on A $99 Graphics Card Might Be All You Need · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's not merely a matter of what resolution you are running at, but how many polys you are pushing, how many texture passes you are doing, and what shaders you are taking advantage of. As long as artists can dream, we will require more and more power from our graphics renderers.

  14. Re:Das Keyboard on Old-School Keyboard Makes Comeback of Sorts · · Score: 1

    You there. Get out of my pod.

  15. Re:Das Keyboard on Old-School Keyboard Makes Comeback of Sorts · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately I can't use my Das Keyboard at work for this exact reason. I still use it at home, though it pisses off the girlfriend when she's trying to sleep and I'm doing some late night coding, or flame war debate.

  16. Re:Caps are GOOD. on AT&T Begins a Trial To Cap, Meter Internet Usage · · Score: 1

    Any cap imposed should be Bandwidth * time = cap. There should never be a hardcap.

  17. Re:First Quest! on WoW: Wrath of the Lich King Release Date Announced · · Score: 5, Informative

    Actually the first quest in Borean Tundrea involves you meeting the general in the barrack, and killing 6 crypt fiends. That being said, the Death Knight starting zone is a well crafted masterpiece with a dynamic changing world that helps tells a gruesome and tragic tale of your death knighthood. It was one of the best 6 hours of WoW in a long time.

  18. AoE on Microsoft To Close Halo Wars Studio · · Score: 1

    I hear they are breaking off to make Age of Ensemble.

  19. Search is troll on New Search Engine Cuil Takes Aim At Google · · Score: 1

    Can we mod this website as a troll?

  20. How many per user? on Spore Creatures Now Outnumber Known Earth Species · · Score: 1

    How many creatures per user are created? They didn't seem to have a limit on how many creatures are created per user, so couldn't 5 people be creating thousands?

  21. Re:My moneys on Nokia to Acquire and Open Source Symbian · · Score: 1

    That's funny, I always see sybian.

  22. Mirror? on Spore Hands-On Preview · · Score: 1

    They make the software to sell the hardware.
  24. Re:Apple gets to get with the program on Mac OS X Cracked For PCs Again · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Apple is a hardware company, not a software company. They make the software to sell their hardware.

  25. Re:RSS, huh? on Microsoft's IE Team Leader Answers Slashdot Questions · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's being made available for Windows! This is true innovation.
