  1. Wrong. on Giant Hailstones Can Spoil Your Flight · · Score: 3, Informative

    A simple Google search shows the existance of an Airbus A340-312, which is likley what this lazy reporter was reffering to. I agree with you about journalists though. It's a good day for them when they get 3 out of four 4 straight.

  2. Re:NO! on Korea Fighting Pseudonyms on the 'Net · · Score: 1

    It makes me wonder how much more of this we'll see in the coming years. :)

  3. Re:Legend of Zelda, Chrono Trigger, and Chrono Cro on What Games Have Actually Affected You? · · Score: 1

    Yeah those games had some of the best music I've heard in quite a while. The composer who produced the soundtracks for Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross also produced the soundtracks for Xenogears and Xenosaga, so you might want to check those out too.

  4. Apparently they do. on Using Your Computer to Repel Pests · · Score: 1

    This article at nature.com talks about insect hearing and sites several interesting examples.

  5. Re:One letter domain names. on Control of the .ORG TLD · · Score: 1

    www.z.com forwards you to www.nissandriven.com/0,,,00.html. After a few seconds it sends you to this page www.nissandriven.com/global/error/browsercheck.htm l were it tells you that

    The browser you are using will not allow you to fully enjoy NissanDriven.com. We recommend you download the latest 6.x version of Netscape Communicator or the latest 5.x version of Microsoft Internet Explorer.

    But when I set Opera to identify itself as IE the site worked just fine.

  6. Re:Sharpened like glass on New Alloy Stronger Than Fe And Ti · · Score: 1

    Likely so -- it's metal.

    What does it's being a metal have to do with it? Metal detectors only detect iron and iron derived alloys like steel. According to the article "Liquidmetal" is composed of titanium, copper, nickel, zirconium and beryllium. There's nothing here to set off a metal detector.

  7. Nope. on Disgusting, Scary 'Walking' Fish Invades Maryland · · Score: 1

    They haven't arrived here yet. As a life long East Texas resident and a professional aquarist I would have heard if some fool had introduced them here.

  8. Re:I plan on going!!! on Slashdot Effect, Live and In Person · · Score: 2, Funny

    I will be anonymous coward #45

    Doesn't telling us that sorta defeat the point of going AC?

    Still the idea of a place were people could meet anonymously has a certain appeal. Maybe these meetings could grow into something like that.

  9. Re:to all of those people on The Perfect Store: Inside Ebay · · Score: 1

    Being a diehard video game music fan I tried to find the soundtrack to an old saturn rpg called Albert Odyssey : Legend of Eldean. I wouldn't have even known it existed if I hadn,t stumbled upon this site.

    Of corse I did find the Breath of Fire 2 soundtrack and the Dragon Force 2 soundtrack there so maybe it will turn up some day

  10. Skull with a bullet hole. on This Place is Not a Place of Honor · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As others have said the Skull and Cross Bones can be mistaken by other cultures in the present and will likely lose it's meaning in the future. I think that a better sign would be a skull with a bullet hole in it. Even if this sign is read by a pretechnological culture they would recognise the the shape of the skull and that it was damaged. And since a damaged skull usually results in death the warning would be as clear as is possible

  11. a matter of context on New Bill Would Restrict Sale of Video Games to Minors · · Score: 1

    The problem with legislation like this is that it ignores
    the context of the depicted violence. Certain games like
    Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, etc. depict violence almost
    devoid of any rational context. In other words violence
    for the sake of violence. Other games like Final Fantasy7,
    8,9,etc. and Metal Gear Solid depict similar amounts and
    types of violence, but do so within a firm moral context.
    These games (and most other RPG's, action games, and
    strategy games for that matter) depict violence as a
    necessary means to right wrongs and defeat evil. Therefor
    such games actually reinforce moral values.

  12. Re:About coqui on The Plague of Frogs · · Score: 1

    Kinda like these damn Japanese ladybugs up here that infest our house! Anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of them!?

    Only thing I,ve found to work is a vacuum cleaner.

  13. Re:Contest these on Traffic Cameras in D.C. · · Score: 1

    What's this nonsense about gun ownership being a privilege? I don't know what sick, backwards, socialist country you live in but gun ownership is a Right in America!

  14. Cash. on Wireless Registers May Expose Your Credit Card · · Score: 1

    Incidents like this remind me why I do nearly all my
    business in cash. Cash is and will always be more secure
    than any electronic substitute.

  15. Re:which four? on Video Games Not Protected Form of Speech · · Score: 1

    As a life long RPG fan I think my list trumps everybodys.

    Xenogears

    Final Fantasy VII

    Lunar2 Eternal Blue Complete

    Front Mission 3

    I cant speak for action games like GTA3, but most RPGs contain as much text and plot as a major novel.

  16. Re:DunhtDuhDuhDUH...DUHDuNaDuhNaNa..DunhtDuhDuhDUH on Hall of Fame Game M.U.L.E. To Be Ported To PC · · Score: 1

    I wasn't able to find the orignial theme, but I was able to find a cool remix

  17. Re:NES version? on Hall of Fame Game M.U.L.E. To Be Ported To PC · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I remember wasting 3 or 4 hours a day on this
    interesting game when I was a kid. It's too bad my NES
    dosn't work anymore.

  18. Re:Gamecube? on PS2 Vs. X-Box: Winner Emerging? · · Score: 1

    This link offers a consise explanation.

  19. a way to get past NYTimes free registration... on Is Realism Destroying Video Games? · · Score: 1

    ...is to type in "slash2001" as both the username
    and password.
