  1. Re:Finally! on Diablo 3 Developer Explains Health and Potion Changes · · Score: 1

    It's a game. Why does this have to be realistic? If it were, you'd probably have a hard time carrying more than one plated armor suit at a time. Realistic wouldn't be practical, let alone fun.

  2. Re:Critical thinking... on Slashdot Announces Idle Section · · Score: 1

    You know, reading this, I'd rather be not intelligent instead opting to just be happy and not overthink stuff like this all the time. Relax, dude.

  3. Re:Duh! on The Flat Earthers Are Still With Us · · Score: 1

    Everybody knows that the world is a disc that is supported by four (some say five) elephants standing on a turtle in space. The more important question is figuring out what sex the turtle is.

  4. Re:Amazing picture on NASA Opens Space Image Library · · Score: 1

    Oh, nice one! :)

  5. Re:Rover tracks on NASA Opens Space Image Library · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's obviously shopped. I mean, the shadows are way off. I could do that in MS Paint.

  6. Amazing picture on NASA Opens Space Image Library · · Score: 1, Funny

    I just went there and already found this. I can't wait to find more.

  7. Re:anotherwards, MySQL 3.x... on Slimmed Down MySQL Offshoot Drizzle is Built For the Web · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Of course I haven't RTFA, but what I gather from the summary is simply that they'll be removing these features from the core and making them accessible from modules. Why is that wrong? If you don't use prepared statements in your web application, you don't need to have them in your database server. Unless I missed something...

  8. Re:Some data 4 U on OMG Did U C What U R Paying 4 Texting? · · Score: 1

    I'm from the Netherlands, too. I remember hearing from an American years ago that it costs them money also to receive phone calls. I'm not sure if this is still true. I thought it was ridiculous and stupid at the time, and easily exploitable by a malicious caller. Actually, the only time we have to pay (a lot) for receiving anything on our mobile phones is when we are in a foreign country... and then only for receiving phone calls. Getting text messages is still free.

  9. Re:Why? on Intel Shows Off Quake Wars, Ray Traced · · Score: 1

    Myst IV is still the best-looking game I have ever seen. Nothing can really compare to the panoramic animated graphics. The gameplay wasn't really for me as I'd sooner resort to a walkthrough than struggle for months to get through a single puzzle.

  10. Re:first post from on Study Hints At Time Before Big Bang · · Score: 4, Funny

    I find this post surprisingly unspectacular.

  11. Re:Not green energy on Latest "Green" Power Generation — Your Feet · · Score: 1

    You forget that all of these "world problems" you speak about are only problems to us "humans"...

  12. Re:Who cares on Metallica to Star in Next Major Guitar Hero? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Hah, gotta love them new kids. Just like them to be ignorant of one of the founders of thrash metal. Metallica were never brilliant musicians in the face of more skilled bands, but their drive for metal made them what they were (and Dave's in the case of Megadeth). I guess I'm old enough now to welcome a new generation of metal kids instead of putting down their choice of bands.

  13. Re:Stupid on New Guitar Hero Drumset Showcased · · Score: 1

    Get this: it does not matter. Of course you do realize that every drummer's setup is different. The great thing is that after a certain level of expertise, it really doesn't matter where your drums are located. You get used to them and hit where you need to. You can ride your crash, not a problem. You can ride your floor tom for all that matters. I'm more concerned about the pads and how natural they feel compared to actual skins. That is, my real kit has mesh skins for practice, but I'll prefer real skins for the feel they have any time. Location and number of pads? Not so important. Oh, and the kit has a pedal, like Rock Band has, too. What I want is twin pedals. :)

  14. Re:wtf? on Dragon Quest IV Coming to the DS · · Score: 4, Funny

    Call me out of touch, or cranky You are out of touch, and cranky.
  15. Re:proved himself on BioShock Movie To Be Made By Universal · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yes, I did, and I loved it. What's your point?

  16. Re:Eclipse on Vista is Slower, But XP Is Still Dying · · Score: 1

    Haha, thanks for the entertainment. You are one sick puppy!

  17. Re:Depression not natural? on Antidepressants Work No Better Than a Placebo · · Score: 1

    Your definition of depression is off.

  18. Re:Rock Band on Portal, Bioshock Lead Game Developer's Choice Nominations · · Score: 1

    How is that NOT innovative?

  19. Re:so use encryption. on Weave... Mozilla Is Trying To Be More Social · · Score: 5, Informative
    Actually, that's what they do now. From the article:

    • We currently encrypt on the client all data that gets placed on the server, with an encryption passphrase that only the user knows.
    • We kept the server intentionally dumb and standards-based, so that anyone can set up a server for themselves and/or their friends or company.
  20. Re:Call me cynical but.. on Sonic The Hedgehog Coming to the iPod · · Score: 2, Funny

    Seriously, you didn't have to post an ASCII representation of goatse to make your point. Thanks a lot for the mental damage!

  21. Re:In Soviet Socialist States of America on Congress Creates Copyright Cops · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Am I the only one that thinks the USIPER acronym eerily sounds like "usurper?" That's exactly what this is starting to look like.

  22. And not to forget... on US Sees Blockbuster Games Release Week · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Mass Effect will be released two days after the end of this week, on November 20. Truly, this is when the "next-generation" consoles get into their own with quality releases and hopefully the PS3 will finally shape up, as well.

  23. Re:Not the enhancement people really want on XBox Adding HD Tuners Next Year · · Score: 1

    Yeah, so that's why my newer model broke down after two-and-half months for no reason.

  24. Re:The Vista bashing is starting to get old.... on OS X Leopard Ships On October 26th · · Score: 1

    What gets even older is the spelling of MS with a dollar sign. Stop it. It makes you look stupid.

  25. Sci-fi author? on Sci-Fi Writer Considers BioShock's Artistic Merit · · Score: 4, Informative

    As far as I can tell, the man is a book critic. The write-up makes it seem as he's actually written sci-fi books?
