  1. Re:Sod Final Fantasy on Square Enix Facing Big Losses For 2010 · · Score: 1

    On Steam it now says August 23rd. So much for just holding it back until the next financial year.

  2. Altruistic Press on AP Files FOIA Request For Bin Laden Photos · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Of course it's got nothing to do with making bucket loads of money from exploiting the photos. They are the Altruistic Press after all.

  3. HR on Sony Delays PlayStation Network Reactivation · · Score: 1

    I think they might need to hire more than one person to work on this.

  4. Re:It was just a matter of time on Backdoor Trojan For Windows Ported To Mac OS · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The average Windows user doesn't know how to run as Admin in Windows 7. The Admin account is hidden by default. Oh, you didn't know that? And the backwards compatibility you speak of is only in the Pro version, not the Home version. Face it, you don't actually have a point to make, you just wanted to bash Windows. Is this typical of Mac Users?

  5. Re:"mentioned" on Has a Decade of .NET Delivered On Microsoft's Promises? · · Score: 5, Funny

    You're just sore because you made the wrong decision to learn Delphi.

  6. Re:In my house they are calld M for man games on Study Finds That 'M'-Rated Games Sell Best · · Score: 1

    Yeah well, your wife went to college!

  7. Mac's on Underground Mac Community Foils a Coup · · Score: 0, Troll

    This involves obscure mac stuff. Does anyone normal care?

  8. Re:Queuecraft on No WoW for the 360 · · Score: 1

    There's at least that many copies of Call of Duty 2 for Xbox 360 that have been sold.

  9. Re:Well, DUH on No WoW for the 360 · · Score: 3, Informative

    The Xbox 360 has support for mice and keyboards. Just plug them into the USB ports on the front or back.

  10. Queuecraft on No WoW for the 360 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Considering the server problems they've been having - http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/03/01/ 1519225 - I don't think World of Queuecraft could handle the millions of Xbox 360 players.

  11. Queuecraft on World of Queuecraft · · Score: 1

    Considering the server problems they've been having - http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/03/01/ 1519225 - I don't think World of Queuecraft could handle the millions of Xbox 360 players.

  12. Re:VCR on Film Studios Sue Samsung Over DVD players · · Score: 1
    As far as protection schemes go, this one is totally christian.

    "christian"? I laughed so hard I nearly sprayed my coffee! I'll have to remember that one.

  13. Rootkit on A PS3 Hands-On Report? · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    The article fails to mention the impending Rootkit payload to be delivered in every box.

  14. Limits on Craigslist to Start Charging for Some Listings · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Perhaps one solution would be to allow one post per category per day. Anything extra would cost you.

  15. Re:Online before broadcast on IT Crowd On-line · · Score: 2, Informative

    Unless you count that leaked episode of Doctor Who last year.

  16. Listen up RIAA & MPAA on 2005 Game Sales Set Record · · Score: 1

    This is where a lot of the RIAA and MPAA's lost sales have gone. They're putting out mostly crap so people are finding other ways to entertain themselves.

    If you added up the total sales for Games, Music and Movies, the total amount probably hasn't changed much in the last ten years.

  17. Lawyers on Sony to Settle Spyware Suit with Downloads? · · Score: 1

    At least maybe the lawyers would get screwed a bit. Would they then get payed in downloads?

  18. Re:Lucky for Microsoft... on Xbox 360 Kiosk Demo Spurs Hackers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yeah, just wait 'til Sony puts an Xbox compatible rootkit on the latest crap-rock CD.

    Of course they'd probably ge sued out of existance...

  19. Re:Not suprising... on Xbox 360 Kiosk Demo Spurs Hackers · · Score: 3, Informative

    They're out now! The January 2006 issue of OXM has a demo disk that works on both the original Xbox and the new Xbox 360. Probably possible because they both use different file extentions for the default file.

  20. To be expected... on Are the 360 Launch Titles Actually Next-Gen? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's a known fact that "First Gen" titles usually don't take full advantage of the hardware. It takes a couple years or more to develop a title, so the devs haven't had enough time with the hardware to maximize it's potential. Same thing will happen with the PS3. It's not news.

  21. Re:Where does that tax go? on Computer Rebates Not As Sinister As You Think · · Score: 1

    So basically they collect tax from you on the pre-rebate amount, and then just turn over the post-rebate amount to the government, keeping the difference. Cheeky buggers!

  22. What is this? A tabloid? on Xbox 360 Very Unstable · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So half a dozen out of the hundreds of thousands of new Xbox 360 owners are having problems. Why does Slashdot have to state "Xbox 360 Very Unstable"? I've had bad installs of Linux too. Would we see the headline on Slashdot "Linux Very Unstable" too?

    This is normal. With the massive number of parts in the Xbox 360, it's to be expected that some are defective on a few units. Microsoft will give them a replacement. Move along, nothing to see here.

  23. Re:Wait on Online Daters Sue Matchmaking Web Sites for Fraud · · Score: 1

    Hey, a 35 year old woman is pretty lucky to get a 18 year old to start with. Don't look a gift stud in the mouth.

  24. Sweet Jumps on Epic's Rein On Next-Gen And Secondhand · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Napoleon Dynamite: What kind of bike do you have?
    Pedro: It's a sledgehammer.
    Napoleon Dynamite: Dang! You got shocks, pegs... lucky! You ever take it off any sweet jumps?
    Napoleon Dynamite: [Cut to Pedro jumping] You got like three feet of air that time.

  25. Re:Zappp goes your data! on Performance of OpenOffice.org and MS Office · · Score: 1

    So, what are you using now?

    Notepad.
