  1. Nintendo? on Preview of Sony vs. Microsoft at E3 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Wasn't it at E3 last year that Nintendo dropped the bombshell that is their controllers? I wonder if they something upt heir sleeves again to take some of the spotlight away from Sony and M$...

  2. Answer: on Microsoft to Replace Blackberry? · · Score: 5, Funny
    will my VP be buying new Windows Mobile enabled cell phones for his entire department just so we can put in more hours?

    Yes I will. Now get back to work!

  3. Re:A1200 on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    My friends and I used to joke that between the Apple adn the Amiga, Amiga hired all the engineers and Apple hired all the marketers;-)

    It frustrated me to no end in college when i had to use some 68040 based Mac which ran slower than my pre-upgrade A1200 running an "obsolete" 68020. Grrr.

  4. A1200 on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 4, Interesting
    The first computer I ever played with was my friend's C64. We also had those at school in the sixth grade computer class. My brother also had an IBM PS2 at about this same time which I also played with.

    My first computer, however, that was mine and mine alone, was a Commadore A1200. It had the stock 68020 running at 14 Mhz and 2 megs of RAM. I splurged and spent $600 upgrading it with a expansion board with a 68030 CPU and FPU both running at 50 Mhz! I also got an 8 meg simm to bring the memory up to 10 (the simm was half of the $600). That plus an 80 MB HD meant that I never had to worry about space;-)

  5. PSA to the Coffee Impaired on PlayStation 3 May Play Too Much · · Score: 0, Troll
    "megahit" != "megashit"

    That is all.

    Except that that is kinda of a cool phrase- We should work into casual conversation.

  6. Why? on How Much Do You Value Your Office Space? · · Score: 1

    What are you offering?

  7. Great. on Toshiba to Pay $5.4 Billion for Westinghouse · · Score: 1

    Just what we need- another player in the household nuclear fission market. At least Apple is still trying to acquire that cold fusion outfit.

  8. Re:They *are* allowed to recruit... on No Same Sex Marriage In World of Warcraft? · · Score: 5, Insightful
    People defend "GLBT-friendly" - would they defend "Aryan-friendly" or "pedo-friendly" as much as they do "GLBT-friendly?"

    No, and for good reason. The groups you mention both advocate the hurting others. Aryans advocate violence against others based on skin tone or religious affiliation, while "pedo's" prey on children. GLBT would just like to do their thing without being attacked for it. Huge difference.

    A more apt analogy would be, "would a 'Christian-friendly' guild be tolerated that actively recruited Christians?"

  9. Correct me if I'm wrong on US Missile Shield already Defeated? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    But hasn't the shield failed to even stop missiles when their trajectory is known before th test even starts? I think that this is one of those things that is simply too difficult a task to make work under battle conditions. At least for now...

  10. The Real Myth on Putting Star Wars to the MythBusters Test · · Score: 5, Funny

    Does talking backward smarter make you sound? Hmmmmm?

  11. Actually... on Napster To Be Acquired by Google? · · Score: 4, Funny

    The napster acquisition is further down the list. Next up is Cisco after they've acquired Nintendo. The whole shebang will be paid for after the Goobuntu Vista project comes to fruition.

  12. Re:Crisco on Cisco Eyeing Tivo/Nintendo for Buyout? · · Score: 1
    I NEVER would have understood otherwise.

    Yeah, we could tell.

  13. That must be why... on Cisco Eyeing Tivo/Nintendo for Buyout? · · Score: 1

    They sell shortening now, too; to grease the way for their other mergers and acquisitions.

  14. Even more impressive- on X Prizes for DNA, Nanotech, Autos, Education · · Score: 3, Funny

    They did all these feats on snowboards. No really. I saw it on ESPN yesterday. You haven't truly recombined DNA till you've done it on the backk of a snowmobile doing 40! Booyah!

  15. Workaround... on Hopes Rise for RIM · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So what happens to SCo's case if the work around is accepted and validated by a higher court? That's right- they'd be hosed! Well, more so, but it will be interesting to see how this case plays out and the ripples that it causes.

  16. Ancient? on Ancient Flaws May Leave Mac OS X Vulnerable · · Score: 5, Funny

    It must have happened when they translated the binary off of the stone tablets, likely because they were limited to only bronze tools.

  17. Yes!!! on Cingular Patents the Emoticon? · · Score: 1

    Now when we finally revolt aginst the sappy emoticons we will have a target to attack;-)

  18. PS3? on Sony Kills off Aibo, Qrio, Qualia · · Score: 1

    So what happens when they focus on the PS3 and Nintendo wins?

  19. Re:Power of porn? on Adult Entertainment Antes Up In DRM War · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think a lot of support for the the theory comes from the rankings of search terms. Since most of the top search terms revolve around pornography, it follows that a lot of people out there are trying to find it. That plus the pornographic sites were making large profits years before Amazon turned the corner.

  20. Re:Blog on Details of the LiveJournal Account Hacks · · Score: 1
    What is the point of hacking a livejournal account?

    Replacing crap with more better crap? Maybe they wanted to show of their l33t skilz and still claim moral obligation as a defense.

  21. But... on Apple Breaks RSS with Photocasting · · Score: 1, Funny

    I thought Apple could do no wrong? Oh that's right, they are still just another corporation after all. Accept things for as they are, not as you would have them.

  22. Can you blame them? on The Backhoe, The Internet's Natural Enemy · · Score: 0

    They're just trying to find a torrent of Dig Dug...

  23. Re:I have a question for you on Ask Microsoft's Security VP · · Score: 1

    That's because they work like the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation. The overt design flaws hide the inherent design flaws. His job is to provide lax security so as to distract people from the real issues with Windows. If he denies it, you know it's true.

  24. It's almost as if... on On the Subject of Slashdot Article Formatting · · Score: 1
    It's almost as if some percentage of the population wants to complain.

    You must be new here;-)

    Seriously though there is a lot of merit to not only that, but what Taco has to say about grammar. The story and the information therein is the most important part. The packaging is secondary. I agree with that completely.

    And thanks again, CmdrTaco, for posting your thoughts on this.

  25. Required! on Firefox 's Ping Attribute: Useful or Spyware? · · Score: 4, Funny

    At least for childbirth. Bring in the machine that goes, PING!
