  1. Re:If you don't have time, just say "no". on Interviews: Game Designer Steve Jackson Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    Eh, Slashdot has been phoning it in since it was sold to Dice. I can't find any fault with SJ's responses.

  2. Perhaps... on One Year Later, We're No Closer To Finding MtGox's Missing Millions · · Score: 1

    ... they were eaten by a grue?

  3. Burn it down on CIA Director Brennan Admits He Was Lying: CIA Really Did Spy On Congress · · Score: 1

    Just burn the entire organization to the ground and start fresh. Throw in the TSA, NSA, and Homeland Security while you are at it. Maybe the ATF, too. I could go either way on the FBI.

  4. Open-Mesh on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Deploy Small Office Wi-Fi SSIDs? · · Score: 1

    We've started using Open-Mesh https://www.open-mesh.com/ . It's cloud controlled which means the AP require internet access. It's also a mesh so it can be used for areas without a network connection or the mesh can continue working in the event a line does dead. For our budget conscious clients it definitely fits the bill.

  5. Treat him like a bad puppy on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Explain To a Coworker That He Writes Bad Code? · · Score: 1

    Gently bop his snout with a rolled up newspaper and then rub his face in it.

    Bad programmer! Bad! No coffee for you!

  6. Re:Translation on SOPA Protests 'Poisoned the Well,' Says Congressional Staffer · · Score: 0

    Sometimes you have to call a spade a spade.

  7. Soundproofing? on Ask Slashdot: Building A Server Rack Into a New Home? · · Score: 1

    http://www.kellsystems.co.uk/18u_server_cabinet.asp

    We put a couple of the 38U versions of these in an office and they work great. The only knock we have is that the veneer is a bit fragile.

  8. Re:Slow sales.. on Windows Phone 7 Sales Continue To Struggle · · Score: 1

    I'd have a Windows Phone 7 if they were on my carrier. Really stupid idea to launch with only AT&T where you have to compete with the iPhone and Android. At least if they started or launched concurrently on Verizon or Sprint, they wouldn't be competing as much with the iPhone.

  9. Another two billion or so... on Five Billionth Device About To Plug Into Internet · · Score: 0

    ... and it will beat the number of devices that have been plugged into your mom!

  10. Who is the Drizzle? on Drizzle's Future Moving To Rackspace? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Only Master Shake knows for sure.

  11. So... on Large-Scale Mac Deployment? · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is a Big Mac deployment? Sounds like a job for my tummy!

  12. Re:Exmerge on First Look at Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Beta · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's what we do. However, we really miss the Exmerge GUI which let us see folder sizes and easily only export certain date ranges.

  13. Exmerge on First Look at Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Beta · · Score: 1

    But does it have Exmerge? Command lines are nice and all, but the biggest feature we miss as a small/medium sized business is the Exmerge utility.

  14. Yes, but... on Universal Remote's Days Are Numbered · · Score: 1

    What about the universal remonster?

    http://www.tv.com/episode/264542/summary.html

  15. Wish I could on Mozilla Messaging Devs Don't Want To Duplicate Outlook · · Score: 1

    I wish I could use Thunderbird in our enterprise. But it just won't work. We are locked in to Symantec for AV. Whenever Symantec scans and finds a virus in a Thunderbird mailbox, it quarantines or backs up the entire inbox. With daily scanning, hard drives quickly fill up. We are unwilling to create exceptions for scanning and have not found a good way to automate cleaning of the Quarantine.

    So until then, Outlook is here to stay for us.

  16. Re:UK Gets It First on Ben Browder Joining Stargate SG-1 Cast · · Score: 2, Funny

    Don't you mean oot and aboot?

  17. Re:What next? on CA Court Strikes Blow Against Hidden EULAs · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What if I'm buying the software as a gift?

    How does that help things? /hates EULAs

  18. Re:Shitty game-based movies aside... on Nintendo Eyeing the Big Screen · · Score: 1

    Doesn't exactly sound like a Mario movie.

    Wait a tick, you're telling me mushroom eating plumbers aren't staples of historic Japanese literature? My worldview has been shattered.

  19. Re:Coverup on USAF Studies Teleportation · · Score: 1

    Yeah. And isn't it odd that almost everyone speaks English? What's up with that?

  20. Coverup on USAF Studies Teleportation · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is just the cover story. The money is really being funneled into the Stargate program.

  21. Re:Off topic but I'm interested on How to Get Music Off Your iPod · · Score: 1

    The Neuros. The software has been open sourced. Recently, the firmware has been opened as well. I've had mine for almost a year and love it.

    Also, getting music off it is a breeze.

  22. Re:give the people what they want on XBox Owner Sues Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I got all three. I bought myself a Gamecube. :)

  23. Re:The problem with these sorts of books... on Always Use Protection · · Score: 1

    is that it uses the assumption that teenagers - a group that have grown with modern technology - do not understand the basic concepts of computing, privacy etc. I would argue this isn't actually true.

    Sure, the book might not apply to all teens, but there is obviously still a market. I know it's hardly a representative sample, but I have a 17 year old brother. He has friends. All of them are dumbasses. They could really benefit from a book like this, or anything that will keep me from having to fix the family computer once a week.

  24. Re:Hrm.... on Midway's Slugfest, Ballers Inappropriate For Kids? · · Score: 1

    David St. Hubbins: We say, "Love your brother." We don't say it really, but...
    Nigel Tufnel: We don't literally say it.
    David St. Hubbins: No, we don't say it.
    Nigel Tufnel: We don't really, actually mean it.
    David St. Hubbins: No, we don't believe it either, but...
    Nigel Tufnel: But we're not racists.
    David St. Hubbins: But that message should be clear.

    Ganked from IMDB.

  25. In Soviet Russia... on Original Godzilla In U.S. Theaters · · Score: -1, Troll

    You know, I've been pondering this for a bit, and I can't think of a good 'In Soviet Russia' for this story.

    "Tokyo crushes you"?
    "Godzilla watches you"?
    "You eat Godzilla"?

    None of those work...

    To move back on topic, I'm not caring so much about seeing it on a huge screen, I care about hearing it on theatre speakers. All the screams, all the explosions, the sound effects for this movie are going to be amazing in the theatre. At least I hope so.
