  1. #10? on Usability in the Movies -- Top 10 Bloopers · · Score: 4, Informative
    Leaving aside the plausibility of a 12-year-old knowing Unix, simply knowing Unix is not enough to immediately use any application running on the system. Yes, she could probably have used vi on the security terminal. But the specialized security system would have required some learning time -- significant learning time if it were built on Unix, which has notoriously inconsistent user interface design and thus makes it harder to transfer skills from one application to the next.


    This guy didn't do his research. It wasn't that specialized of a security system.

  2. Re:Any link to... on Testosterone Tumbling in American Males · · Score: 1

    Why mention Wal-Mart? Surely you aren't implying they be held responsible for people gorging on unhealthy foods. Just as you wouldn't hold a gun store responsible for what a customer does with their gun.

  3. Why buy old stuff when you can buy new? on Wikipedia's $100 Million Dream · · Score: 1

    Instead of purely buying texts that already exist for a likely bloated price, why not use the money to pay respected individuals to write stuff for them as well?

    That way you'll get classical old stuff with fresh and new!

  4. Done with dogs on Doctors Claim Suspended Animation Success · · Score: 1

    They've done this with dogs successfully before. I think it was posted here on Slashdot too.

  5. Re:Not me.. on When The Other Woman Is An Xbox · · Score: 1

    Really? We've been going out for almost 5 years now. Yeah, she should be dumping me any time now. *rolls eyes*

  6. Not me.. on When The Other Woman Is An Xbox · · Score: 4, Funny

    If my gf ever interupts me during a game, say by phone call for example, it goes like this:

    *pick up*
    Me: "HELLO?!"
    Gf: "Hey what are ya-"
    ME: "BUSY! WHAT DO YOU WANT?!!"
    Gf: "Uhh I dunno I just wa-"
    ME: "CANT TALK! BYE!"
    *click*
    I've never had to deal with her complaining about my game playin. She understands that when I say I'm busy then I'm busy and should not and cannot be bothered. Thats what the rest of these pie-making laundry-cleaning women should realize.

  7. Blizzard sucks on Blizzard Made Me Change My Name · · Score: 1

    I had my level 57 Shaman account disabled because someone complained about my in-game langauge. Can you believe that? Someone actually turned off their bad language filter, and then complained because they saw bad language.

    The human races makes me cry sometimes. I never got a new account because of how idiotic their policies are.

  8. Re:Selection... on BitTorrent User Guilty Of Piracy · · Score: 1

    How exactly would one know whether a movie sucks or not, prior to watching it?

    Now of course theres reviews and critics, but I've seen some amazing movies which were pounded by critics as being terrible.

  9. Re:Before anyone else says it before anyone else.. on EBay Acquiring VeriSign Processing for $370 Million · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Well I don't know what you're getting all worked up over, but I for one welcome our new eBay overlords.

  10. I think torrents are a good idea for TV shows on HBO Attacking BitTorrent · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I downloaded the first six Prison Break episodes, after watching the first, I was hooked, so I watched the rest. After that, I was excited to watch the next one so I did the unexpected... I WATCHED IT MONDAY NIGHT @ 9PM ON FOX! Wow, if it weren't for those torrents then Fox would be without a viewer! HBO should smarten up. The same thing happened with me and Sopranos, after a few episode downloads off the net, I was hooked and watching it on the tube.

  11. Re:Why jail? on Fired AOL Engineer gets 15 Months · · Score: 1

    So charge him millions instead...

  12. Re:Crocodile Spam on Crocodile's Immune System Kills HIV · · Score: 1

    I'm going to hell for this, but.. I don't think any of these people are going to be around to complain.

  13. Hrmm on FedEx Cracks Down on Box Furniture, Citing DMCA · · Score: 1

    Well thanks to the Slashdot community, we've effectively destroyed FedEx's evidence!

  14. So... on Terrorists Move to Cyberspace · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Where are these websites then? It'd be nice if they had something to show us.

  15. Re:As an Australian... on Governmental Servers Wiped? Never! · · Score: 0
  16. Re:what's an ounce of alcohol? on Kegbot: The Future of Robotic Drink Service, Now · · Score: 0
  17. Re:3.5 million users.. on World of Warcraft For The Win · · Score: 1

    News flash, I didn't agree to pay for a broken product.

  18. 3.5 million users.. on World of Warcraft For The Win · · Score: 0

    At $15 a month, thats $52.5 million a month for Blizzard.

    $52 million a month and their servers still blow more ass than Richard Simmons. They really need to get better tech staff and stop stuffing their pockets.

  19. Re:We have no right to enslave animals! on Large Scale Production of Artificial Meat · · Score: 1

    So at what level of intelligence does a carnivore become unbarbaric? I assume you consider lions eating gazelles non-barbaric.

  20. Erm.. on Man Arrested for Using Open Wireless Network · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I always thought stuff like this was a little weird.

    It is like a radio station only allowing members to listen to their station, but broadcasting to everyone and saying if someone who isn't a member listens in, they are breaking the law. Either set up your shit so only authorized people can access it, or don't and not be permitted to have unauthorized people arrested for using it.

  21. Timeline on Brains on a Chip · · Score: 0, Funny

    1) Man merges computer chip into brain. 2) Computer chip able to simulate orgasm over an over. 3) Technolo..*oh god, yes yes YES OOhh oh..* um yeah, I'll be right back.

  22. Slashdot Solution on Quiet Desk (Not Desktop) PC · · Score: -1

    Could someone please tell one of the editors or article posters to make an on-site mirror of any off-site links, so we actually have a chance to see what the fuck everyone is talking about?

  23. How Interesting! on Unmaking The Game · · Score: -1, Troll

    I really don't think any of the people who read news on Slashdot give a damn about a retarded game like Everquest and how the geeks who play it actually go into depth about the game, as shown in this article.

  24. slashdot does it again. on Sodium + Private Lake = Fun · · Score: 0

    damnit, i really want to see this video. why must slashdot spoil everything. =(
