  1. Blue Hyperlinks on a blue bar on Sony Clarifies Details About PS3 Home · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sheer genius and easy on the eyes. Which genius came up with that idea? JFC.

  2. Re:I wouldn't be that sure on Academics Speak On 'Life After World Of Warcraft' · · Score: 1

    Talking out of butt are we now? You wouldn't last more than a minute against a level 60 affliction lock, let alone two 70 locks. I do not have a warlock and i do not plan on getting one but stop typing out of your ass.

    You meets affliction lock =

    UA..Dot..Dot..Dot..mana drain..while you are being feared and deathcoiled and the felhunter is eating your buffs and healing itself.

    Link to your armory page please...

  3. Webplayer :o on Bulletproof Tool For Golden Age Browsing? · · Score: 1
  4. Re:Every time I see... on Couple Bonding Through PC Building · · Score: 1

    In a nutshell, it's not news if some girl managed to get a PC together. This is almost as sad as "Oh Wow, did you hear? women can vote now". To top it off, she installs Vista Ultimate. Posting something that someone doesn't find interesting != posting something that's not news. Last time i checked, Slashdot is news for nerds. Stuff that matters. This isn't news and it's nothing that matters. Congratulations, you've made me post out of a hotel at 2:19am.

  5. Hmmmm on Dateline NBC Mole Outed At DefCon · · Score: 5, Informative
  6. Re:Rant as news on The Real Problem With Alexa · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I just read a rant.

  7. Inconvienient? on The 10 "Inconvienient Truths" of File Sharing · · Score: 1

    Need more literate editors please. Zonk: L2Spell. Thanks.

  8. Let's throw the hardened convicts in there on Could Black Holes Be Portals to Other Universes? · · Score: 4, Funny

    You know, the really really bad guys. Give them a ship with food, guns and other building blocks for "civilization". If they make it, well we win. If they don't, well too bad but that relieves the load on prisons. What? It worked for Australia didn't it? Ok laugh now - that was supposed to be funny.

    Hmmm, come to think about it; not a bad idea at all.

  9. Re:Will anyone gain anything from this? Not Linux on The End is Nigh for XP · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Start - Run - "net stop wuauserv".

  10. Re:really? on Consumer Vista Upgrades Moving at Snail's Pace · · Score: 1

    Because we all know that consumers in general buy sound cards (and not just rely on on-board) and pretty sure every consumer out there gets a RAID card or two on their box. Yay for summaries?

  11. Don't mess with the easter bunny. on SCO Vs. Groklaw · · Score: 1
  12. Meh - i need my WoW on Bird Flu Pandemic Could Choke the Net · · Score: 1

    As long as the pipes (and tubes *snicker* ) to the Blizzard servers aren't clogged, i am good. Wait! what? oh you were serious about me working from home...like real work? Oh. Oh.

  13. Bleh on Half-Life 2 Orange/Black Delayed to End of 2007 · · Score: 1

    Valve's been pulling this stunt for a long time but atleast they bring out their product eventually (or they shelve it for keeps) as opposed to Duke Nuke Forever.

  14. so's-yer-mom dept.? on Comet McNaught Visible in Broad Daylight · · Score: 1

    How about you editors grow up a little?

  15. What does this mean for men? on Women "Advertise" Fertility · · Score: 5, Funny

    Like you uhh know you we are (most of us) are at the 100% fertility rate most of the time and uhhh we don't care about advertising it. I am not sure where i am going with this. Oh snap, i need to shave the 4 month old beard. Wonder where dad keeps his razor...

  16. Re:Not true -- look closer: on Cringely's 2006 Results, 2007 Predictions · · Score: 1

    Ummm that was sarcasm. He has no PhD degree. He lied about it.

  17. Sigh on Cringely's 2006 Results, 2007 Predictions · · Score: 1

    Again, from the article:

    6) Sony solves Blu-ray laser diode problem just in time for IBM to suffer production difficulties with the Cell processor. More bad news for Sony.
    7) The Sony news is SO bad that it deserves two predictions. I would predict the fall of CEO Howard Stringer again if there were clearly somebody at Sony who wants his job. The business is in such difficulty that Microsoft is discussing internally how to help Sony from going under, since that would create a raft of antitrust problems for Redmond. I am not making this up.

    This guy's being impossible. Those predictions are as solid as his PhD degree. Maybe if he added a question mark to each of his predictions, he can get away with them more easily.

  18. umm 69%? on Cringely's 2006 Results, 2007 Predictions · · Score: 3, Insightful

    From the article:

    That is my worst performance EVER. I got nine of 15 predictions correct for a 60 percent average. In my defense I'll point out that just because I am wrong now doesn't mean I'll still be wrong in another week. Three years ago I predicted Intel would support AMD's 64-bit instruction extensions, but they took 53 weeks to do so, making me off by seven days. I think that by the end of February, 2-3 of these predictions could still swing the other direction.

    Editors: Please RTFA? Thanks.

  19. Mmm but would you do it? on HD-DVD and Blu-Ray AACS DRM Cracked · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think Hollywood has a slight edge here. Consider this: Ripped DVDs came around to 4 - 4.5GB and while this isn't a huge amount of diskspace, it is still a considerable amount of space. Even so, a 250GB HDD (you can get this for
    Now coming to HD-DVDs (the screenshots from the article show approximately 24GB of space being used or 24GiB, whatever tickles your fancy). This means a 250GB will be able to hold
    The point is with the Hi-Def media, it doesn't make as much sense to rip every movie you have and store it on your fileserver for the next year or two. This is awesome news but i am not sure i'll be ripping HD-DVDs/Blu-ray disks like i used to rip DVDs. These things take way too much space. Hollywood would have an edge if they priced the stuff at around 15-20$ - i'd buy one than let a movie take up 30GB on my machine.

  20. How many laptops did it take? on PC World's 20 Most Innovative Products of 2006 · · Score: 5, Funny

    So for MS Office 2k7 to make the number one position, i wonder how many LAPTOPS Microsoft had to give away. Just kidding, just kidding - i couldn't resist.

  21. all these "messages" on A History of Game Consoles, As Seen on TV · · Score: 1

    Proper grammar from the editors please. Thanks.

  22. People? (Humans?) on New Zealand's First Land Mammal Discovered · · Score: 1

    They don't have people living in NZ? Or is that why they call themselves Kiwis? (*Cough*).

  23. relevent on YouTube Stays Relevant Despite Pulled Content · · Score: 1

    Sheesh, you lose credibility when you screw up spelling on the main page. The correct word is "relevant". Weeeee.

    He's new here fellas. Who wants to go first?

  25. Prior Art Indeed on Friendster Patents Social Networking · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's called Slashdot. Here a bunch of single male geeks (for most part) connect together (and flame together!) in an online computer system based on their relationships (or lack of them). Go taco - go sue them! Atari2.6k PS: I am a single male geek and /. is my life *shes a tear*
