  1. Re:EA could learn a thing or two with this on The Physics Behind Car Crashes · · Score: 1

    I think you would like the Burnout series of games. I've only played Burnout 3, but I hear 4 is good too. Made by EA, by the way...

  2. Re:The problem on The USB Wristband · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That EDGE DiskGo seems to be the only USB memory watch that isn't ridiculously overpriced. The problem is that there seems to be no-one who ships them to Europe. DiskGo also seems about the only USB watch that doesn't need a separate adaptor cable between the watch and the computer.

    What's the point of having a USB memory with you all the time, if you have to have a separate adaptor to actually connect it to the computer?

  3. Re:He didn't answer the question! on Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    Opera needs only one change to make making Firefox-like Adblock possible: Allow user javascript to read and write to disk in some limited way.

    You can already run custom (user java)scripts (that can use regular expressions to block/remove ads) and create and add new buttons to toolbars. You only need some way of storing the regular expressions and other settings.

    Well maybe they are accurate now, but not after I go and replace the articles with the text "Knob."

    "Jag gillar svenska kvinnor."

    Well, I, for one, have not been involved in a correction war, so check.
    I have respected other people's opinions, check.
    I respect expertice, check.
    I have not fucked up any good articles, check.

    Wow, Wikipedia must be great now!

    No, it still sucks.

  7. Re:Not farfetched for a reason. on Prognosticating the Year Ahead · · Score: 1

    not even the GTA rehash (one of Sony's big cards) for it is boosting sales.

    Maybe because it has not been advertised anywhere. I was looking forward to the game and even I didn't know it had been released when I suddenly saw it on a shelf in a local game store.

  8. Re:That is no water cooler on Watercooling the XBox 360 · · Score: 1

    That's no water cooler. It's a space station.

  9. Re:To take part you have to... on GIMP 10th Anniversary Splash Contest Winner Announced · · Score: 1

    Last time I used the Gimp it was so horrible that I really haven't felt like trying it again.

    It opens multiple windows that clutter up my task bar. And when I click on one of them, the others don't pop up to the top. And the menu is in its own window. And the fucking thing crashes the moment you try to actually do something.

    In short: it behaves like no other app in Windows.

  10. Re:simply a gift from GOD on Cash Pours in for Student with $1 Million Web Idea · · Score: 1

    Nobody has to VISIT his site. More people visiting his site just increases his bandwidth costs and lowers his profits. The idea behind the site is to sell ad space, and apparently THAT has worked. I'm pretty sure he couldn't care less if nobody visited the site after he sells his last pixel.

  11. Re:It makes me angry... on Cash Pours in for Student with $1 Million Web Idea · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Naaaah... Really?

  13. Re:The future of data sharing? on Firefox Gets File Sharing Extension · · Score: 1

    Why is it, that being against copyright alltogether is considered being on the lunatic fringe?

    Could it be because of comments like this: I would like to rub you all over my naked body.

  14. Re:The future of data sharing? on Firefox Gets File Sharing Extension · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm an anarchocapitalist

    Well I'm even more whacked out than you. I'm a chaoscapitalist. Markets should be totally random.

  15. Wow, I just realized something on Jack Thompson Buys Stock in GTA Parent Company · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Wow, I just realized something: "Jack Thompson" is an anagram of "flaccid penis".

  16. Re:iPod on Google Zeitgeist '05 · · Score: 1

    I thought it was pretty interesting that the PSP was in there as well. Apparently people really want it, but cheaper.

  17. Re:it's been a great year for GAMING... on No Blockbuster Titles in 2005? · · Score: 1

    Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow.

  20. Re:My DVR doesn't read DVD-RAM discs anymore on Blu-ray Coming Out On Top? · · Score: 1

    Everybody is clever enough to create an encryption that they are not able to crack themselves. Besides, they are trying to protect their content from the same people that they are showing it to.

  21. Re:Azureus Is Shite on BitComet Banned From Private Trackers · · Score: 1

    My 5-year-old machine had 512 MB of memory, my 3-year-old machine had a full gig and my current machine has 2 gigs. If you've used a computer for longer than a couple of years, you should know that for a long time memory has been by far the most important factor in how fast a computer feels in use.

    The good news is that you can usually upgrade even older machines by adding bigger memory modules. If 384 MB is the maximum amount of memory your motherboard supports, it's not really a modern mobo.

  22. Re:Feed readers? on The Top 10 Weirdest USB Drives Ever · · Score: 1

    You know, I have a great slashdot story idea: Why women don't play videogames as much as men?

    Yeah, well the PS3 has a reality synthesizer. No really. Look it up.
