  1. Re:Nitpick: 1116.318.. times faster on Atari 1200XL Stacked Up Against a Dell Inspiron · · Score: 1

    while you're nitpicking: the column on the left says CPU. The CLOCK is that much faster, we all know the difference between clock speed and cpu speed here.

  2. In soviet russia on World's Biggest Alarm Clock Shakes You Out of Bed · · Score: 4, Funny

    "The hay" hits YOU !

  3. Re:Isn't security the programmer's responsibility? on Microsoft To Banish Memcpy() · · Score: 1

    you're right, my bad

  4. Isn't security the programmer's responsibility? on Microsoft To Banish Memcpy() · · Score: 0, Troll

    I can understand the warning "Warning: you are using an Evil Command(R) "memcopy" and your program will be a piece of crap as a result", but there's no need to break already compiling code.
    (FP btw)

  5. Planescape:Torment on Storytelling In Games and the Use of Narration · · Score: 5, Informative

    I found the most enjoyable game storytelling technique in Torment. The hero is himself unaware of the story (has amnesia), and the player discovers along with him clues to his own past and the story behind the game setting. I loved how I got a first glimpse of what's going on and then the plot was progressively clarified.

  6. Re:opera on NoScript Adds Subscriptions To Adblock Plus · · Score: 1

    At this point I would like to point out that Opera's ad blocking does not have a whitelist and Opera does not have ads on it's page. :p

    I would like to point out that almost nobody uses Opera.

    "Almost nobody" used Mozilla until a few years ago. "Almost nobody" still uses Linux. Not respecting the minority is a serious no-no here.
    Besides it's not a question of who uses it, but of what's the best behavior. I mean, most people uses Windows... I rest my case.

  7. This is WotC on Tokyo Scientists Create Mobile Slime · · Score: 5, Funny

    They're asking for 14d10+40 million dollars. The outcome of the trial will be decided by opposing Profession (Lawyer) checks.

  8. Re:Get to the meat of the story... on BT Blocks Access To Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    Does this mean if I'm hosted on the same server as a blocked site I get blocked too? If that's the case I think there's legal action material right there.

  9. Re:Frickin' lasers? on James Bond Villain Data Center · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Our virtual servers come with a ram of up to... [pinky in mouth corner][zoom][dramatic chords]..64 million bytes!!!"

  10. Re:Used car salesmen use the same thing on Cellular Repo Man · · Score: 1

    How nice of the Mafia to click on the submit button.

  11. Hard drives?? on Sun Puts Data Center Through 6.7 Earthquake · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What hard drive survived that, that's what I'd like to know.

  12. Idea: on Building a Successful "Open" Game World · · Score: 2, Interesting

    An open game world should have an open content: An achievement in the game should allow you to add to the world's history. Then other players should validate it to become part of the world's lore. (First post BTW)

  13. Re:Eve's Browser on In-Game Web Browser Round-Up · · Score: 1

    The fact that eve's IGB sucks so much and is still used is a testament to how much of a crucial feature it is. Actually the ingame-specific extentions to HTML it supports are a stroke of genius ( you have links that let you interact with the game, such as entering fleets or checking prices). So, as soon as you finish reading this, CCP emploee, stop goofing off on slashdot and go fix the IGB. And make me some drone bandwidth modules for my high slots while you're at it!

  14. Connection interrupted on the link.. on When Servers Explode · · Score: 1

    Can't get the site. I hope it's me and the site is not slashdotted, because if it's hit by THIS article the server hosting it might actually explode!

  15. Re:My first attempt at a soviet russia joke... on CCP To Discontinue EVE Online Support For Linux · · Score: 2, Funny

    In soviet Russia, there's one more C

  16. For the first lesson: on Class Teaches Nerds Social Skills · · Score: 5, Funny

    Don't start conversations by shouting "first post" after someone mentions a subject.

  17. Re:Solar Charged Laptops? on Top Tech Breakthroughs of 2008 · · Score: 1

    Or a fuel cell that runs on whiskey.

  18. Re:last sentence on The Myth of Upgrade Inevitability Is Dead · · Score: 1

    Please have in mind that the XP version of the eee has better hardware. I think you can't for example get the big battery on the linux version.

  19. Re:Audiophile cables on The Greatest Scientific Hoaxes? · · Score: 1

    Of course cryo-treatment does something... you get to say you cryo-treat your cables if you do it and people go "Aaahhh".

  20. Re:News? on e1000e Bug Squashed — Linux Kernel Patch Released · · Score: 1

    What I found newsworthy is that I can expect the latest windows worm / trojan / virus to brick a whole bunch of network cards (at work, don't throw stones) as it's now more clearly documented that it can be done. I think it was mentioned in a previous article that the real bug is that bricking through software is possible at all.

  21. Re:Just ROT-13 twice on Nevada Businesses Must Start Encrypting E-Mail By Oct. 1st · · Score: 1

    For the humor-impaired, performing ROT-13 twice results in the same text as the original unencrypted message. Performing ROT-13 twice again to "decrypt" would once again result in the same text as the original, unencrypted message. It's just a joke, relax.

    Got you at last Captain Obvious, no longer will you leak our secrets into the public

  22. Re:Excuse me but... on IOC Trademarks Part of Canadian National Anthem · · Score: 1

    Windows has performed an illegal operation by accessing 0x2010 within 10km of an Olympic stadium and will be shut down.
    (the icon next to the message is a glowing heart with a X over it)

  23. Re:Force Encryption eh on Nevada Businesses Must Start Encrypting E-Mail By Oct. 1st · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's too weak. You can use it, but you must encrypt everything twice just to be safe.

  24. Re:Get a real domain then. on Google Goofs On Firefox's Anti-Phishing List · · Score: 1

    I confess my geek-fu is not strong enough to understand what he does, can someone shed some light for the networksavvy-impared?

  25. Re:I don't care! on New Diablo 3 Images; Design Wins Over Darkness · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I can see it now: Blizzard thinks the new feel is great, and will delay diablo III another 6 months in order to implement it. In other unrelated news the inspirer of said change has gone into hiding for reasons unrelated to the angry torch-and-pitchfork wielding mob outside his house.
