  1. Re:De Lorean on How Apple Is Beating Nintendo At Its Own Game · · Score: 1

    It's "de funct" now, so no one cares.

  2. Re:What's better consumer value? on How Apple Is Beating Nintendo At Its Own Game · · Score: 1

    In the words of Penny Arcade, "You buy your one game, and I'll buy my 40 games, and we'll see who has more fun."

  3. What's better consumer value? on How Apple Is Beating Nintendo At Its Own Game · · Score: 2

    A Nintendo 3DS that sells for a couple hundred, but costs $20-$30 for cheap little games?
    Or the iPad2, costs $500-$600, but costs $1-$5 for cheap little games. Oh, and you can watch Netflix on it.

  4. Re:KDE can suck it on KDE Frameworks 5.0 In Development · · Score: 2

    Gnome's mom always posts AC.

  5. Re:Smeagol on McCain Decries "Hobbits," Accused of Ringbearing · · Score: 1

    Those are questions we could have asked ourselves before we spent all the money.

    The founding fathers had no problem with rich aristocracy: they WERE rich aristocracy. What they had a problem with was the unfettered power of unelected government and its intrusion into the everyday business of the common man.

  7. Re:Nuclear Iran. on Iran Forced To Replace Centrifuges To Stop Stuxnet · · Score: 2

    Because of China's patronage. It's got jack-shit to do with DPRK's purported nuclear weapons. IOW, the GP is spot-on.

  8. Re:cheap jerseys free shipping on Ask Slashdot: Geeky Volunteer Work? · · Score: 1

    Obviously, the parent is suggesting you could take a poor African's place in a sweatshop for 2 months, making jerseys.

  9. Re:What About Mature Adults? on Review: Captain America · · Score: 1

    Don't bother with books, then. I hear everything after Gilgamesh is just another trite rehash of "the hero of a thousand faces."

  10. Re:Troll Attack on Terror Attack On Norwegian Government · · Score: 1

    Unless you're booking a flight to Norway to help the victims, you can take your fake righteous indignation and shove it.

  11. Re:Take him to the airport on Terror Attack On Norwegian Government · · Score: 1

    And yet, paradoxically, it is your regard for human rights they (fringe European Islamists) wish to destroy. In choosing your course of action, they will have won, as they have already won in America.

  12. Re:Again ? on Anonymous Hack One Gigabyte of Data From NATO · · Score: 1

    It also doesn't stop a defense attorney from pointing out that the source is no longer pure. It has been tampered with. Someone has had access to the information, and there is no guarantee the information hasn't changed. Rooting someone's email server provides "a shadow of a reasonable doubt." A DA could bring forward evidence obtained illegally by a third party... but would it be wise for them to?

  13. Re:NATO Hacking on Anonymous Hack One Gigabyte of Data From NATO · · Score: 2

    Yep. Remember that Wikileaks needed someone on the inside to get the information. I find it highly unlikely that Anonymous got any really important documents. Sure, maybe they were marked classified. That doesn't mean shit.

  14. Re:Again ? on Anonymous Hack One Gigabyte of Data From NATO · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Or they didn't find anything terribly incriminating and didn't want to pull a Geraldo. Besides, in hacking their email, it's already compromised as evidence, anyway.

  15. Re:Proven Strategy on Google Trying to Lure Celebs to Google+ · · Score: 1

    It means Facebook's has got thetans all up in their business.

    You're still not looking at the big picture.

    Two identical earths.

    Two copies of every person.

    Rebecca Black would be able to duet with herself.

    Oh yeah? Today the Chinese are cloning Apple products. Tomorrow they are cloning the world.

  18. Re:how about just make the rich pay their fair sha on Can Long Term Research Survive the Coming Age of Austerity? · · Score: 1

    You know... most businesses hire private security. Just sayin'.

  19. Re:Bullshit on Attachmate Does the Right Thing For Mono · · Score: 1

    And I'm not interesting in *their* rants, either. I use their software, but I don't have to read their manifestos. Exhibit A: Richard Stallman.

  20. Re:Bullshit on Attachmate Does the Right Thing For Mono · · Score: 2

    Thankfully, the ecosystem of computer languages and platforms is not subject to the mouth-frothing whims of hard-core ideologues. Those of us who program for a living are not interested in your rants.

  21. Re:Force Lightning on Stanford Students Build "JediBot" · · Score: 1

    Those training devices appear in almost all the books; but the scene you're thinking of is from Dune Messiah.

  22. Re:But self regulation works !!! on Study: Ad Networks Not Honoring Do-Not-Track · · Score: 1

    AdBlock Plus, and browsers with cookie whitelists. That's your invisible hand. Unless you meant something else, in which case you'll need to sit on your hand in a comfy chair for about 2-3 minutes...

  23. Re:Be polite... on TSA Announces Pilot of Trusted Traveler Program · · Score: 1

    I took this route with a JW missionary and his grandson who came by sporadically. Ironically, while the grandfather never came to my door again, the grandson would frequently come over on Saturday with his friends and ask me about mainline Protestantism, and problems he was having with the NWT.

  24. Re:Science? on Acoustic Superlens Built From Soda Cans · · Score: 1

    And reviews for books about obscure scripting languages.
