  1. The most popular part of the conference... on Austin Game Conference Wrap-Up · · Score: 1
    ... was the free beer in the tech pavilion from 2-6pm each day.

  2. Re:I'm impressed on Apache Webserver Surpasses 50 Million Website Mark · · Score: 5, Funny
    True. But once you remove the porn, there's only about 500 or so.

  3. Re:Constitutional protections.... on Students Banned from Blogging · · Score: 1
    Here is the deal though... they made her sign an "agreement" that she would not consume coffee or alcohol even while not on school grounds.

    Does anyone believe Jim McMahon held to this "agreement" when he was at BYU?

  4. Re:Sorry, I got a 10% raise... no doom or gloom in on Are Skimpy Raises the New Normal? · · Score: 1
    Who is an "average" slashdot poster? A bot?!

    A troll. Gee, ask an easier question whydontcha?

  5. Re:FF7, destroyer of games on Who's Afraid of Shinra Tower? · · Score: 1
    People who curse RPGs need to realize the true point of these games. They are not about some sort of uber-l33t phenominal gameplay. In fact, they are linear.

    "True" RPGs aren't linear by nature. Those console games that co-opted the label, however, are.

    That's not to say that the QUALITY of these games are lacking. Some are extremely good. They just have no business labeling themselves "RPGs".

    No other game has the immersion of Final Fantasy (the series) and other RPGs.

    Oh, you're a fanboy. You had me fooled for a bit. Nevermind then.

  6. Re:Fscking Scumbag Ambulance Chasers on iPod Nano Scratches Result In Suit · · Score: 1

    I love Slashdot. Both the straw man argument and the post that pointed it out were both +5, Insightful.

  7. Re:yeah... on Does OSS Make The FCC Irrelevant? · · Score: 1

    It makes sex irrelevant too, but not by choice.

  8. Re:Oh no, not again. on Tango Project to Make Open Source Beautiful? · · Score: 1

    Tango is also the name of a dance.

    So I'm told.

    Nobody dances with me. :(

  9. Re:Carnegie Mellon on NSF Reports No Geek Shortage · · Score: 1
    Because the student population of one (tech focused) school projects perfectly to the rest of the nation's schools.

    Despite what they may be telling you there, not every tech job is filled by someone from CMU.

    Yes, that line was sarcasm and hyperbole. I hope they teach that there.

    Yes, that was too.

  10. Re:why do people fawn over closed-source systems? on Buffer Overflow Found in PSP Firmware v2.0 · · Score: 1

    Because the Zodiac kinda blew? Being an "open" system does not make something a "quality" system.

  11. It must be said.... on Korean Mozilla Binaries Infected · · Score: 1, Funny
    In Korea, only old people use prebuilt binaries.

  12. Well then on TiVo OS Update Adds Content Protection · · Score: 1
    MythTV just got a lot more important.

    I've felt that a lot of the complaints against TiVo to this point has been mainly petty Slashdot whining, but now there's something to really complain about.

    How is MythTV when it comes to HD? Because I've got my hacked TiVo box for now, but when I get an HD set and all that, it'll be time to move to different hardware.

  13. Obligatory me quote on Some Rights May Have To Be 'Eroded' For Safety · · Score: 1
    Simple minded people rely on simple quotes to avoid having to think about complex problems."

  14. Re:Definitely a Speed Upgrade... on Mozilla Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 Released · · Score: 1
    It will always be slower than Opera. It can't get as fast as Opera unless it wants to get as sloppy in rendering as Opera.

  15. Can't happen! on Capcom May Be Prepping Street Fighter 4 · · Score: 1
    Last time Capcom had to increment the number next to "Street Fighter", it nearly killed them.

    I don't know if they can survive another one. That's why they do their damndest not to do it.

  16. If it makes you feel better... on OpenOffice 2.0 vs. MS Office Review · · Score: 3, Insightful
    ... I'll create a version of the webpage that changes every instance of "XP" to "2003".

    Because the review would be exactly the same.

  17. Nintencats on Rumour Control on the Revolution Controller · · Score: 5, Funny
    Nintencats... that'd be an easy game to develop. Just make a virtual cat that ignores ALL user input and does whatever the fuck it wants.

  18. Re:I for one welcome the return of our techtv mast on Leo Laporte Returns to G4TV · · Score: 1

    Fletcher, is that you?

  19. Re:No matter how many maps they release... on The Halo 2 Map Pack In-Depth · · Score: 1

    Thank goodness for the mute feature. Give it a try!

  20. Now that's just crazy talk on Google to Offer Free Wi-Fi? · · Score: 1
    Nobody that works at Google is so poor as to have to step foot in Modesto. Or so compelled to be murdered, either.

  21. Re:Okay, that's it... on Xbox 360 Launch to Face Several Hurdles · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Oh dear. I seem to be drowing in the crocodile tears of the whiners and the overreactors. And me without a life raft.

    Everything that MS ANNOUNCED would be in the system is still in the system. If you were so dumb as to bite on hype from random "gaming press" sources, well, why is it MS's fault that you don't know any better?

  22. Is the "value" of an online item more absurd... on A World of Warcraft World · · Score: 3, Insightful
    ... than the "value" of a piece of cardboard with a certain sports player's image, or a certain image for a collectible card game?

    Of course, the bottom kinda dropped out of the sports card business, so maybe that's not a good example. :)

  23. Dear whiners about podcasting... on Podcasting · · Score: 1
    Get over yourselves.

    People keep posting that stupid link, and it doesn't get any less stupid or clueless. "Podcasting" isn't the audio, it's the means of distribution.

  24. Re:Well good! on Linux Feels Growing Pains · · Score: 1
    I love it.

    People here champion Linux as the answer to everyone's computing needs, from personal to commercial.

    Then, when someone comes along and says, "no, it's not", the answer is "WELL THEN WHY DONT YOU FIX IT YOURSELF H0M0FAG!!11"

    >> John Carmack will never, ever be regaurded the same way that John Lennon is.

    Lennon did not invent rock and roll. Many came before him, many pioneers that languish in obscurity.

    There will be many who come after Carmack.
