  1. Re:Correlation vs. Causation? on Hyperactivity And Videogames Linked · · Score: 3, Interesting

    There's not a lot to conclude based on this study except "hyperactive kids like videogames".

    And that's somehow not important? Knowing trends of a group of people with a certain affliction can greatly help in diagnoising it. Especially something like ADHD, which is a title thrown on every kid who ever gets bored. The more things like this that we can use to discover the true problems with people, the better.

  2. Re:Or, for the budget-minded users... on Half-Life 2's Multitude Of Purchase Options · · Score: 1

    $1.99. I rent them. Because buying them or seeing them in theaters, again, isn't worth the money to me.

  3. Re:Or, for the budget-minded users... on Half-Life 2's Multitude Of Purchase Options · · Score: 1

    I have a job. I'd rather not waste $15 on a game that I play for one or two hours a month. Just not worth it for me.

  4. Re:Or, for the budget-minded users... on Half-Life 2's Multitude Of Purchase Options · · Score: 1

    I'm assuming you meant "plan" instead of "play." And when I downloaded HalfLife and Counterstrike via P2P, it came with a crack that worked just fine. I've been playing CS with a downlaoded copy for about two years now.

  5. Or, for the budget-minded users... on Half-Life 2's Multitude Of Purchase Options · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm going to use the P2P "purchase" option.

  6. Good! on Microsoft Longhorn Delayed · · Score: 0, Troll

    Unless the release date is "never," then whatever they tell us is much too soon.

  7. Painful insertion on Where Has Your Cell Phone Been? · · Score: -1, Funny

    Once I was mad at my brother, so I shoved my phone (one of those tall, thin Nokia ones, about the size and shape of a dildo) up his ass. All the way to the hospital I kept calling it, making it vibrate. I thought it was funny, but he didn't seem to be having a good time.

  8. Re:I can see my house from here. on Network Blackout · · Score: 0, Funny

    You don't have backup power on your home LAN? Pffft, and you call yourself a geek.

  9. Re:Does anyone use this stuff? on Verizon Rolling Out Nextel-Like PTT Service · · Score: 1

    This is Slashdot... we like our cell phones to do everything under the sun. Because if he had something that just worked well for one purpose, it's not a fun enough toy.

  10. Re:Slashdotted already? on The Wireless Wardriving Rig · · Score: 4, Funny

    Your girlfriend is into wardriving? Dude, get off slashdot and marry her.

  11. Baseball bat on Required Tools for PC Repair? · · Score: 3, Funny

    So you can beat the shit out of the annoying bastards whom you're trying to help, but won't shut up about their stupid machine while you're trying to work.

  12. The easy way isn't always popular on Blocking MSN Messenger? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Fire everyone who's caught using it. Eventually you'll fire enough people that they'll be afraid to open it. Just like the RIAA suing P2P users... eventually nobody will share because they'll be afraid of lawsuits.

  13. Incredible. on Remove iPod European Volume Cap · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Oh... wow. Four decibels. That's... nice?
    Personally, I wouldn't waste my time to get a lousy four more decibels out of my iPod.

  14. Keep your pants on, Taco on Wearing a Tie May Cause Blindness! · · Score: 2, Funny

    Nobody here wants to see that.

  15. Re:I have contributed.. on SETI@Home Publishes Skymap · · Score: 4, Funny

    Oh yeah? Well i've done 32,885 hours. Who's on top now?

  16. Re:Need to change the approach on Ending Organ Donor Shortages? · · Score: 3, Funny
    When the time comes that my death or persistant vegetative state is imminent, then my wife will give them consent - but not before.

    Too late now.
  17. Buy a bunch of blank CDs on Occupying Your Freetime on a Business Trip? · · Score: 3, Funny

    and start stockpiling the pornography now. Trust me, it'll come in handy later.

  18. Re:The Star Wars Kids Videos on Slashback: Railing, Blocking, Scoffing · · Score: 1, Troll

    Girlfriends? Have you seen the kid?

  19. Re:IP's on The RIAA's Hit List Named · · Score: 1

    If you don't disable sharing of files, then yes, you did say they could. It's basically a checkbox saying yes, you can download my files, or no you can't. You didn't pick no, so it defaults to yes. I bet if you read the EULA to some of these P2P applications, it'll say something along the lines of "you are responsible for what you share unless you disable file sharing."

  20. Hey not fair on New Audio Products for Mac OS X Excite Reader · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm a Slashdot reader, and i'm excited about the massive amount of pornography that I downloaded this morning. Where's my story?

  21. Brilliant idea on Amazon Plan Would Allow Text Search Of Books · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If this happens, maybe we'll finally be able to find books based on their actual content instead of the (usually pretty crappy) writups that Amazon does on them.

  22. Great humor on Microsoft Names Linux its Number Two Risk · · Score: 3, Funny

    Coincidentally, when I clicked the view comments link, a large advertisment for Linux.com appeared under the article.

  23. Let the bidding begin on History Of The NeXT Platform · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I have a color Next Station. Monitor, mouse, keyboard, speaker/microphone box, working in new condition. I wonder how much this thing is worth if I were to sell it.

  24. Re:Sprint PCS on Wireless Cellular Data Services? · · Score: 1

    Sprint's cheaper Vision packages only allow you to use the service on your phone. If you plug it into a laptop, you're violating their terms of service. While they don't do anything to stop you currently, there is talk of them charging extra in the near future for this type of useage. If you plan on getting a ceullar service specifically for data, the standard Sprint vision package is not for you. You need the more expensive plan and a PCMCIA or CF card to take advantage of it with a computer.

  25. This is so obvious it hurts me to type it on Teaching Novices Board Games.. Properly · · Score: 0

    Why not just tell them to read the damn rules themselves?
