  1. This isn't about games on What Spoils a Game For You? · · Score: 1

    This is about pre-cooked, semi-interactive movie-like game-substitutes. The games that I play cannot be 'spoiled'. This question is an insult.

  2. Re:You are the typical head-up-arse programmer on Twenty Years of Dijkstra's Cruelty · · Score: 1

    After BASIC, I was glad to encounter programming languages that could be used to solve complex problems, and made it possible to understand complex programs.

    So the dead Dijkstra was wrong, and the living Dijkstra is right.

  3. Re:By that note... on Linux Needs More Haters · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Slashdotters must all be MS shareholders and Vista early adopters!

    Don't underestimate the power of the *BSD side.

    I don't hate Windows, I just love UNIX.

    People who love UNIX, shouldn't use Linux.

  4. Re:I'm not jacking in on Controlling Computers With the Brain · · Score: 1

    And Lord forbid that the thing causes your spelling and lack of capitalization to degenerate FURTHER! Who would want to limit himself to the mediocre expression capabilities of written (or spoken) language? With brain waves, you should be able to communicate in graphs and symbols.
  5. Re:the cats are behind it on Mind Control Parasites in Half of All Humans · · Score: 1

    Where have you been? We've been trying to tell you for years that cats are evil.

    Signed "Commander of Canine Resistence, Los Angeles Chapter",

    "Long live the revolution!"

    This, of course, is all part of the masterplan meticulously designed to distract our attention away from our mighty overlords, the mice. So stop this propousterous resistance movement and go prove your race's worth.

  6. Re:Fighting malaria on Wireless Sensor Networks for Killing Mosquitoes · · Score: 1

    Not in the long term. Like anti-biotics, DDT is in principal a Bad Thing(TM), because it helps the evolution of unwanted creatures.

  7. Re:Off by default on Reverse Firewalls As An Anti-Spam Tool · · Score: 1

    2. Your ISP (or anyone else) can't read your mail while it's sitting on your own server. They can read it when it sitting on their server. But they can! They own the gateways, remember? They can see all your traffic. 5. Notification. When you own the server and new mail comes in you have have the server forward the mail to multiple places, or run scripts to notify you on a pager, via telephone, etc. You don't need a server for this. A client can also see incoming mail. 6. Reliability. At least with My ISP, my mail server has a higher availability than theirs. Because of the load on the server from SPAM, it goes down fairly regularly and is frequently backlogged. Sure this is just poor admin on their part, but with my own server it doesn't affect me. Get a proper ISP.

  8. Re:must ... resist ... on Forget the PDA, Here Comes the TDA · · Score: 1

    "tactile" ... "jackito" ... oh my. I didn't get it! I used to think I was quite good in English, but now I feel completely retarded for not understanding some kind of language joke. Could somebody please explain this, so I can feel superior again?

  9. Re:You can take my porn... on Supreme Court Rules Against Anti-Porn Law · · Score: 1

    You can take my porn...
    from my tired, cramped hands!

    LordPhantom found my pants!


    You rhimed!
    We don't want to know what you and LordPhantom have been doing all this time, without your pants, cramping your hands...
