  1. Re:I read TFA on Gen Con Indy 2005 In A Nutshell · · Score: 1

    Your parent post is certainly a prime example of it.

  2. I read TFA on Gen Con Indy 2005 In A Nutshell · · Score: 4, Funny

    you insensitive clod! Seriously, what DOES belong here ? more linux circle-jerks? Perhaps a few MS-bashing submissions? Ooh, ooh, I know, let's talk about Google!

  3. Re:So how does this compare. . . on Gen Con Indy 2005 In A Nutshell · · Score: 1

    Not enough Mark Hamill.

  4. Re:Zdnet on 10 Computer Mishaps · · Score: 1

    /.'ed, definitly - worked for a while then grinded to a halt and switched to redirection.

    Sorry if I missed any humor you had intended.

  5. Yes, yes I do on 10 Computer Mishaps · · Score: 5, Funny

    How could I forget yesterday so quickly? Do we really have that many Memento-style disabled Slashdotters?

  6. Re:What? on Japan Plans Test of 'New Concorde' · · Score: 1

    I see no evidence to the contrary - from the pictures (design art ss they may be) in the article, to it's speed and intended usage.

    I severely doubt it's anything more. A revoluionnary design would be far more hyped than this.

  7. What? on Japan Plans Test of 'New Concorde' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You praise this "new" Concorde for basically being a new, slightly improved version of the old one and then bash Boieng for doing pretty much the same thing with its own models. Come on, the Concorde is 40 years old too y'know

    THIS DOES NOT COMPUTE

  8. This is Japan we're talking about on Japan Plans Test of 'New Concorde' · · Score: 5, Funny

    The entire PLANE is probably a robot. With superfluous robot crew and robot stewardesses with creepy hands.

  9. Hmmm (from TFA) on Japan Plans Test of 'New Concorde' · · Score: 2, Funny

    If the 1.1 billion yen ($10 million) experiment works, Japan's space agency plans to follow up with similar tests of a jet-powered craft, Kyodo News Agency reported.

    I, for one, think it would be infinitly cooler to fly in a rocketship than in a crummy supersonic jet.

  10. Take off your tinfoil hat for a little while on Google Instant Messenger Coming Really (or Not?) · · Score: 1

    And consider that if a private corporation can do this, the governmnet, with its equal or superior means, probably knows even more about you.

    Hmm. Actually, put that tinfoil hat back on and staple it to your head.

  11. FYI on Google Instant Messenger Coming Really (or Not?) · · Score: 1

    The symbol for "billion" is "G". I know it's somewhat confusing in this case ("G$? Is that Google currency?") but "BN" just looks reeeeeeeally odd.

  12. I totally trust you on Google Instant Messenger Coming Really (or Not?) · · Score: -1

    ACs providing anecdotal evidence? How can I go wrong!

  13. 180 degrees? on Google Instant Messenger Coming Really (or Not?) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Didn't Google explicitely claim they were not making an IM service?

    Why would they make one anyway? Doesn't really seem to fit with their current strategy unless they tie it into gmail somehow.

  14. Re:Public relations on J Allard Interviewed · · Score: 1

    Where exactly would objective information about an unreleased product be found?

    I don't mind READING advertisements, I see somewhere along the lines of 10,000 or more a day...one more ,one less..

  15. Brilliant on Scientists Create New Human Embryonic Stem Cell · · Score: 1

    Any flamewar is sure to be punctuated by LOUD NOISES. We should take your example to heart (much like a trident) and all quote the immortal Brick Tamland.

  16. Nah on Scientists Create New Human Embryonic Stem Cell · · Score: 1

    They stopped doing that when those meddling "activist judges" started actually doing any thinking on their own. Didn't you get the memo?

  17. Great! on Scientists Create New Human Embryonic Stem Cell · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How long till we see anything coemfrom this?
    Months? Nah
    Years? Maybe.
    Decades? Seems to be the most likely.
    Don`t mean to rain on this parade, but if there's one thing that's even slower than game develoment (*cough*DNF*cough*) it's medical research.

  18. Business-related FYI on Xbox 360 - What You Get For Your Money · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The XBOX360 will only be assigned two different SKUs by retailers, as SKUs are NOT assigned by the manufacturer. The manufacturer assigns the product an EAN.

    In fact, the XBOX360 will probably have hundreds of SKUs if you consider the number of retailers that will carry it...

  19. Well I know what *I* want on my tombstone on Video Tombstones · · Score: 5, Funny

    Porn. Imagine the confusion and shame of passerbies getting stiffies in a graveyard. It would delect me from beyond the grave.

  20. Re:The question is why do they exist? on Is Your Boss a Psychopath? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, just like how with Capitalism you can't accomplish it without putting a gun to someone's back to prevent them from sharing the means of production and/or the result produced durrrrrrr

  21. Re:Gimmicky product on World of Warcraft Card Game Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Fine, "During your upkeep, (rest of card)"
    It's a joke. Laugh or mod it down, don't bog yourself down in details.

  22. Gimmicky product on World of Warcraft Card Game Coming Soon · · Score: 5, Funny

    2BBB, Enchantment Tap : Produce one 0/1 Gimmick token with ability "This creature cannot attack or block" and "Cannot be the target of spells or abilities". This creature dies after 3 turns and wasting a sizeable portion of the parent card's revenue in lost production, distribution andadvertising

  23. Re:The question is why do they exist? on Is Your Boss a Psychopath? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Funny that all of but one of them suscribed to totalitarianism and not true communism.

    Dictators are psychopaths, go figure. As for Che, revolutionnairies are usually psychopaths as well.

  24. You would *have* to be a psychopath.. on Is Your Boss a Psychopath? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    to basically earn your way through life by exploiting and berating underlings, some of which are inevitably of equal or even superior skill and/or intellect to you.
