  1. And the dialogue...? on ILM's Datacenter · · Score: 1

    Massively parallelized Markov chains!

  2. Re:I think you misunderstand on RX-8 Hydrogen RE a Dual Fuel Car · · Score: 1

    The Accord Hybrid is faster AND more fuel efficient than its non-hybrid ****V6**** counterpart. That's huge.

  3. Re:RX7? on RX-8 Hydrogen RE a Dual Fuel Car · · Score: 1

    The Kubara concept seems to signal that Mazda is preparing to make a compact RWD sportscar.

  4. LOL on Google Share Loss Amounts to Billions · · Score: -1, Troll

    I knew Google wouldn't get free reign of the planet forever. Now people are finally starting to scrutinize it. Welcome to the real world, Google!

  5. "Mei you wei sheng zhi... mei you wei sheng zhi" on Sony Unveils PSP Translator · · Score: 1

    (gets TP thrown at me)

  6. Metacritic on The Pointlessness of Current Videogame Journalism · · Score: 4, Informative

    For game reviews I tend to go to Metacritic. Metacritic aggregates critical scores and generates an average score number, which is a valuable indicator of critical consensus.

  7. Bah on If DVD Is Dead, What's Next? · · Score: 1

    I don't care what Netcraft has to say about it.

  8. this is surprising? on Of Internet Users, Only 4% Knowingly Use RSS · · Score: 1

    Probably only 2% of World Wide Web users know what HTTP is.

  9. Re:The bottom line on Is There Too Much Enthusiasm Over Wireless? · · Score: 1
    ah if I only had a laptop... But once a Real Programmer(TM) has started coding, nothing will get in his way (particularly not pesky little things like ergonomics) until the job is completed, or he passes out from lack of nutrition/sleep/water.

    Pesky little things, like my sperm. My count must be in negative numbers with the BTUs my 12" Pbook cranks out.

  10. Funded by Durpa Durpa Durpa on Computer Translator Ready for Testing in Iraq · · Score: 1

    Hakk, derp derp Allah!
    Durpa Durpa, Muhammad Jihad!
    Hakka sherpa sherpa, a-backkhala!

  11. "Upmixing" on Creative's X-Fi Audio Chip Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Photoshop does that too. Three kinds, actually! "Nearest neighbor", "bilinear", "bicubic"

  12. Re:Goddam right on Top 50 Science Fiction TV Shows · · Score: 1

    You know, if there were fifty worthwhile pages of text, that'd be one thing.

    But they have you tapping Next for every two sentences of BS. They're just milking you for ad impressions.

  13. "Top 50 Ad Impressions" on Top 50 Science Fiction TV Shows · · Score: 1

    These lists are just an excuse to cram 50*4 ads in front of the user as he clicks "next" "next" "next" "next"

    OMG ST:A GOT 4TH NOT 1ST.. BLOOD!

  14. Re:They will Figure Out Who This Guys Is on Mini-Microsoft Shakes Things Up · · Score: 1
    All Ballmer has to do is tell his team of mini-Ballmers, "find him!" and it won't be long.

    The image of the flying monkeys from Wizard of Oz comes to mind.

    Except they'd be bald.

  15. Re:Relations with the government on China Telecom Blocking Skype Calls · · Score: 1

    Zing!

  16. Relations with the government on China Telecom Blocking Skype Calls · · Score: 1

    This has to be an issue of relations with the government.

    The Chinese government loves to make exemptions to the law for its friends. Skype is getting fucked because it isn't a part of the circle. Hire a "consultant" from high up in the Chinese government, and things will change very fast.

    Lots of back scratching goin' on..

  17. Mike Myers does a double take (n/t) on Refugee Radio Station Blocked by Red Tape · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    /. has some lame lameness filters

  18. Stability "updates"? on Mozilla Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 Released · · Score: 1

    I would imagine that a beta would have more bugs. Updated stability indeed.

  19. Hubble is Dying on Katrina Delays Shuttle · · Score: 1

    If it wasn't already 2AM I'd find and replace all instances of BSD with Hubble.

  20. Re:I get it, but I don't want it on A Decade of PHP · · Score: 1

    If you checked a little earlier you would've found that it stands for Personal Home Page.

  21. More like "a decade of spaghetti code" on A Decade of PHP · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    PHP might be easy to pick up, but boy oh boy does it encourage some bad practices. After I picked up ASP.NET, I said goodbye to the ASP/PHP paradigm and never looked back. I always shudder when I have to hack around with my Wordpress plugins, because they're just a mess of HTML interwoven with conditionals and loops. BLech! That's so 1998! Still waiting for the OSS response to ASP.NET...

  22. You can't not run IE... on Plugging Internet Explorer's Leaks · · Score: 1

    but you can not not run IE!

  23. Type-R? on Hiper Type-R Modular Blue Line 580W PSU Review · · Score: 1

    Does the exhaust fan use VTEC?

  24. Where are my mod points? on Batman Begins Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    What have you done to me, Slashdot?

  25. Definition of Santorum according to Dan Savage on New Bill Would Ban Public NOAA Weather Data · · Score: 5, Funny

    Santorum (n.)

    1. That frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the by-product of anal sex.

    2. Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA)
