  1. maybe the real question is on Is .NET Relevant to Game Developers? · · Score: -1, Troll

    How much of a choice are we going to have in a few years?

  2. The real question is on Using GPS to Hail Cabs · · Score: 1

    Then, punters are automatically connected to an available cab driver in their area before the prospective passenger tells the cabbie exactly where they are.

    Why do only certain football players get to use the system? (said the ignorant, yet cocky American)

  3. Re:Great Games on SNK Returns To The US · · Score: 1

    Baseball stars owned!! You actually typically lost if you had bad players, and won if you had good players! Unlike anything today!

  4. Roger Clemen's baseball, circa 1992ish on Licensing Likenesses For Sports Games · · Score: 4, Funny

    If anyone played this NES game (I'm pretty sure it was endorsed by clemens, or some other good pitcher') It only had his permission, so they changed all the names of every single major league player slightly, which made it quite hilarious to figure out who was who.

    (Now pitching, Tim Glavoon).

  5. Re:Usenet still has value on Spaf's Farewell, Ten Years Later · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Usenet is full of spam, trolls and people who've never mastered the subtleties of online etiquette.

    Reminds me of this site.

  6. Re:my phone... on Wireless Computing and Airplanes? · · Score: 1

    Oh, I got it, I need to turn the key guard off! Thanks!

    User guide?... :)

  7. Re:my phone... on Wireless Computing and Airplanes? · · Score: 1

    hmm, I held it down for 30 seconds and nothing happened.

  8. mmm, pointless violence. on GTA To Appear On Xbox and Gamecube In 2004 · · Score: 1

    I can see this game being entertaining for the first week, but I've watched it being played and found myself quite uninterested, after having seen the various obligitory guns and stuff. I recommend renting the game before you buy it, unless you have a short attention span and are easily amused.

    Gimme a RPG/strategy game with a real plot over this anyday.

  9. ahoy! on X-Ray Satellite Coming Down Tonight · · Score: 3, Funny

    I for one, am going to catch it on my tongue for sure!

    *runs off*

  10. Re:Two things: on Wireless Computing and Airplanes? · · Score: 1

  11. my phone... on Wireless Computing and Airplanes? · · Score: 1

    I have a Sprint Kyocera that I got for free for some xmas deal. (on the back it says CDMA by Qualcomm)

    It's a nice model, generally, for those who just want a easy to use phone and not a camera/messenging system/web browser.

    I love the indiglo backlighting is has. Very easy to read in any light situation.

    Anyway, as I was saying, it has no off button! There is little need, since you can turn off the sound for movies theaters, and you just plug it in to regen the battery every few days.

  12. Re:Beta observations... on EVE Online Beta Reviews · · Score: 2, Funny

    generally boiled down to "Whatever you want!" Okay... but give me some idea of a goal or a point to my existence.

    I have this problem in RL too... ;-)

  13. Re:Two things: on Wireless Computing and Airplanes? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Um, firstoff, 9-11 has nothing to do with this topic, since it was not really a normal situation.

    The question is, can an idle cell-phone cause problems. I, for one, can't turn my cell phone off,(asides letting the batteries die) so it could recieve a call at any time with or without my permission.

    If the cell waves can disrupt airplane equipment, then it's a problem. If they've never had a problem before, then it's just electronic paranoia.

    This must be solved by empirical testing, and not uninformed fears.

  14. Re:Argh... Purple? on Announcing Games.slashdot.org · · Score: 4, Funny

    Try loading the page while sufficiently baked, and you'll change your tune...

    It's like, I am the purple man.

  15. woah there on Penny Arcade vs. American Greetings Revisited · · Score: 2, Informative

    That certainly wasn't work safe! *gulp* ;-)

  16. Re:Intelligent life in anywhere else? on Plankton in the Clouds · · Score: 1

    'You label me, I label you, and I dump the unforgiven.'-Metallica

  17. java on Digital Game Based Learning · · Score: 1

    I think by the time you are learning java programming, it's fun on of it's own volition. Otherwise why are you spending so much money to learn it.

    I did love that number cruncher game in 2nd grade though. And Oregon trail! Fort Walla Walla, here I come!

  18. Re:Slashdot Sin? on Darth Vader Sculpture on Washington National Cathedral · · Score: 1

    As we learned by watching South Park, only the Mormons chose correctly, thus that particular Cathedral must not be under God's protection.

  19. Luke... on Darth Vader Sculpture on Washington National Cathedral · · Score: 5, Funny

    Join me, and together we'll harness the power of the slashdot, and spread 'cannot find server' errors across the galaxy.

    Oh, I thought you were going to talk about the Cincinnati Bengals...

  21. Re:err... on Krawtchouk's Mind · · Score: 1

    Look up "McCarthy" in a history book, kiddo.

    What? Our history books don't mention such disturbing stories. Tell me again how great we are, Unky Propaganda!

  22. My favorite show on AOL, MS & Yahoo Unite On Anti-Spam Initiative · · Score: 4, Funny

    Expensive Internet Access! Corporate Invincibility! Internet Community!

    With your powers combined, I am Captain Corporate!

    (chorus)
    Captain Corporate,

    gonna take spam down to zero!

  23. err... on Krawtchouk's Mind · · Score: 4, Informative

    ..the Cold War mentality that infected much of society on both sides of the Iron Curtain. The story tells of how in 1937...

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Cold War and the Iron Curtain didn't begin until after WWII, in the late 1940's.

  24. The Matrix... on Micro-Helicopter Fun · · Score: 5, Funny

    'Can you fly that thing?'

    'Not yet.'

    I admit I don't know shit about Ghandi(sheesh, I guess noone's perfect), but I do like the quote because I hate hypocrisy.
