a) Is that a wind-powered generator in your front pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
-OR-
b) You know, a big, noisy, wind-propelled generator in one's front pocket would go perfectly with the big, noisy, wind-generating repeller that everyone carries around near their back pocket.
I don't know how common (or practical) collaborations between composers are in the game industry, but it would be really cool to see a teaming up of Nobuo Uematsu and Akira Yamaoka (of Silent Hill soundtrack fame) on a game soundtrack. Having Uematsu's soulful sounds mixed with Yamaoka's darker, more foreboding work would be perfect for a horror-based RPG.
Now that I think about it, though, how many horror-based RPGs are there? I can only think of a handful; the Parasite Eve series, which appears to be defunct, and the Shadow Hearts series.
You might just be a nerd if after reading the parent comment you actually sketched out a diagram (complete with equations and measurements) of where you would need to put the fulcrum to balance a Wookiee and two Ewoks.
...180 days of uninterrupted uptime pretty much means 180 days without system patches and updates. Unless, of course, you've found a way to patch your system (not the applications, the system) without requiring a reboot.
Going half a year without system updates or patches may seem l33t, but at some point you're just asking for trouble. Personally, if my boxes were up for more than about 30-45 days straight, I'd start thinking about organizing a system update with necessary reboot. YMMV, of course, as I like to stay on the safer side when it comes to stuff like this.
Seriously, if you're going to be cute about buzzwords, at least wait until someone uses a real buzzword..."attack vector" is a real term and hasn't reached convergence in the buzzword mindshare yet.
Just you wait until there's a paradigm shift; all of the sudden, you'll have to be proactive and think outside the box and you'll say to yourself, "Who moved my cheese?":P
You've all probably heard of the phenomenon where a Linux user, trying to learn how to do a certain task, will go into a Linux forum posing as a Windows user and complain about how impossible to do said task in Linux; the Linux zealots who inhabit the forum will fall over themselves to show how 'easy' it really is. If the Linux user had asked straight up "How do I do this," he would have been labelled a n00b and summarily ignored.
What we have here, in this thread, is something similar to this phenomenon. See, grandparent poster *could* have just asked if the iPod was mentioned in the article, but he would have been ignored. If he says that the iPod *wasn't* mentioned in the article, though, people are compelled to correct him, thus giving him the information he wants.
You may be asking yourselves, "Why didn't the grandparent poster just read the article instead of bothering everyone?" Because this is Slashdot! No one reads the article!

In Korea, jokes getting old is only for old people. ...
Yeah, it's dead.
I'd probably buy it, if it had a picture of Shamus without the suit on.
Wait, you want to see an Irish guy naked? Not that there's anything wrong with that...
I'm convinced that the nerfing of bards prevents more pregnancies than any abstinence program. /me returns to grinding level 41
People think up the oddest euphemisms for masturbation.
That's why you should always choose Rock in Rock, Paper, Scissors.
Yup, trusty old Rock. Nuthin' beats Rock.
By "hope" I think he means "a mixture of cocaine, caffeine, and just enough vitamins and minerals so they don't die of scurvy or something like that".

Does this mean that /.-ers will start storing their pr0n on their cr0n?
But anonymous cowards do make pretty good pets. Trying to pick out which one is yours is a bitch, though.

You try spinning your building at 8000 RPM for the "spin application" process.
There's a "screwing in a lightbulb" joke in there somewhere...
Does the unauthorized distribution of an unreleased video game bump the meter up to two stars, three stars, or what?
I... er, my friend needs to know if he should expect regular police, the FBI, or the Army.
(Where's the nearest police bribe pick up, anyway?)
Next you'd be telling me there are no dupes on Slashdot.
/.-ers would say "OMG Dupe!!" after the second coming of Christ. ;)
What's this, the second coming of Christ or something?
I wonder how many

Hey, I didn't do it myself, I'm just sayin'.
Arrest 'em all and let the courts sort 'em out.
Wait, this isn't the RIAA article...
So when do we get smart drivers?
Grandparent post:
There's only three satellites up there that Sirius owns (one's in storage for backup).
Parent post:
Actually, there's 4 satellites that Sirius owns, 3 in the sky, one on the ground for backup
You're both wrong, Sirius has *3* satellites currently orbiting the Earth, and *1* on the ground in storage, for a total of *4* satellites.
Geez, get your numbers straight. ; )
floor(pi) is exactly 3!
"Oh, what's this all aboot!?!?! The gosh-darned ignition doohickey won't work! Guess I owe Dan Akyroyd a tooney and a Labatt Blue!"
And if you run out of sick days, you can always call in dead.
So, do they need 51% of the corpse or will just a head on a pike do?

Goatse is not your average close-minded asshole. This asshole is very open-minded.
Dude, I just realized something.

It's still a competition for the silver medal, however, after the last two Matrix films set a world record in the 200 Minute Suck.
That number can't be right, because I distinctly remember Trinity's death scene from "Matrix Revolutions" being at least five hours long.
