  1. Re:And just one other reminder on Voters In Many States Must Register By October 6 · · Score: 1

    That's the beauty of secret ballot's. It doesn't matter who you vote for, you can ALWAYS say "I voted for the other guy" and no one can tell you you're lying.

  2. Re:Interesting... on Weird Al To Release Songs As He Records Them · · Score: 1

    As much as people complain about having to buy a whole album for that one song they're interested in, I've generally had pretty good luck. I usually find at least one other gem on the album that never gets released as a single, and for my favorite bands the whole album is enjoyable (there are even a few cases where the singles off the album were mostly the worst songs).

  3. Re:Probably will be great for him on Weird Al To Release Songs As He Records Them · · Score: 1

    Looking at his most recent album, I don't actually know any of the specific song parodies, and most of the style parodies I'm not that familiar with the bands. A shame that I can't appreciate his new work anymore.

  4. Re:Majority of households still don't have one. on HD Wii By 2011? · · Score: 1

    Not many, considering all the people who use sattelite or cable for their TV will still be fine after the switch to digital broadcast.

  5. Re:Let me guess... on HD Wii By 2011? · · Score: 1

    So what did you play all those years before HD came around? Everything must have been far too ugly for you to even look at.

  6. Re:Fuck the police on MI6 Terror Photos, Data Accidentally Sold On Ebay · · Score: 1

    So since the computer was connected to the internet, they need to confiscate the internet?

  7. Re:This is... on Simple Device Claimed To Boost Fuel Efficiency By Up To 20% · · Score: 1

    Automatic nozzle cleaning? You mean the "Waste half a cartridge of ink" button?

  8. Re:What a confusing article on MySpace Digital Music Service Is DRM-Free · · Score: 1

    So it's not actually DRM free.

  9. Re:What happens if you don't agree? on Apple Censors App Store Rejection Notices · · Score: 1

    Does the NDA for the developer kit say, "You agree to keep any rejection notices private if we ask you to?" If it doesn't, I don't see how this later request is covered by the NDA.

  10. Re:Or more reasonable policies on Students Are Always Half Right In Pittsburgh · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It could be argued that wasting time with idiots is very likely to be a signficant part of any future career, and it's important that you learn how to do that.

  11. Re:You'd be Wrong on New York Issues RFID-Encoded Drivers Licenses · · Score: 1

    And then get charges on every RFID card you have in your wallet at once.

  12. Re:Just an ID? There's a DB somewhere... on New York Issues RFID-Encoded Drivers Licenses · · Score: 1

    Well, the European union started letting people cross between national borders without passports, and we decided we couldn't be like them and had to close up our borders with Canada.

  13. Re: whole point of free speech on City Sues To Prevent Linking To Its Website · · Score: 1

    When I've tried to read with -1 comments turned off, the conversations become so incoherent they can't be followed as posts show up replying to comments that have been hidden. Skipping over GNAA posts is an easy enough thing to do, small price to pay.

  14. Re:What about no loot on Loot Theory In Modern Games · · Score: 1

    City of Heroes seems to have gotten more loot-centered. In the beginning Influence (money) flowed so freely and there were so few money-sinks that you could get your characters maxed-out enhancements by 30th level and keep them there with little effort. With the additions of prestige and the invention system things have gotten much more complicated, to the detriment of the game, I think.

  15. Re:One racket too many. on Should IT Unionize? · · Score: 1

    Tell me about the rabbits, George.

  16. Re:USB is the answer on What To Do With All of My Gadget Chargers? · · Score: 1

    It's still a pain that my phone, my ipod, my camera and every other device has its own connector type and requires its own cable. (And the one for the phone has been different on every single phone I've owned). I'm not so much anti-proprietary as pro-standard.

  17. Re:you called it what??? on Wizards of the Coast Declares Gleemax Site a Critical Failure · · Score: 1

    A stupid name for a website is no less stupid just because it is based on a stupid name for a Magic card.

  18. Working forum? on Wizards of the Coast Declares Gleemax Site a Critical Failure · · Score: 1

    Did they put in a usable forum? Their previous site had a user discussion forum that spent years without a working search function. They'd tease about it coming soon, and occasionally turn it on only to have it crash their database.

    I never actually looked at Gleemax, mostly because I haven't been able to muster much interest in 4th edition. How is their forum software working?

  19. Pulled out of idle? on Bottom of The Barrel Book Reviews-Confessions of a Recovering Preppie · · Score: 1

    Wasn't the last one of these in idle? I took idle off my front page because of the last one. Did slashdot decide it was so important for us to see these Bottom of the Barrel Reviews that they pulled it into the books section?

  20. Re:What's the downside? on Level of IPv6 Usage Is Vanishingly Small · · Score: 1

    I assume applying firmware updates on your network equipment is not something that gets done without significant testing. Why should they do that for equipment that already works?

  21. Re:You know what's nonsense? on Level of IPv6 Usage Is Vanishingly Small · · Score: 1

    I recommend throwing your computer out the window

  22. Re:What's the downside? on Level of IPv6 Usage Is Vanishingly Small · · Score: 1

    Never put off for tomorrow what you can forget about entirely.

  23. Re:Should have gone to A.B.C.D.E.F.G format. on Level of IPv6 Usage Is Vanishingly Small · · Score: 1

    Choosing not to pay for IPv6 when there is no demand for it from their customers, and they can get IPv4 addresses for free is not greed. It's common sense.

  24. Re:Good idea, poorly done on Bottom of the Barrel Book Reviews — The Lost Blogs · · Score: 1

    I thought you meant that reviewing bad books was a good idea, poorly done. This guy's rambling review is just as boring and pointless and he makes the book he's reviewing sound.

  25. Re:did you fire her? on Bottom of the Barrel Book Reviews — The Lost Blogs · · Score: 1

    And did they fire the trainer for wasting time by letting her make so many bad sundaes. And for wasting so much ice cream by letting her make the same mistake over and over again without pointing out her mistake. And for probably pissing off the customer by telling him, "Here's your money back, out stupid trainee can't figure out how to make your sundae, and I'm a trainer, so I'm far too important to make your sundae myself. Go find a Baskin Robbins"
