  1. I must be old... on Russian Media Link Moscow Bombing With Modern Warfare 2 Scene · · Score: 1

    Every time I see MW2 mentioned in a video game article I think of Mech Warrior 2.

  2. Re:Bout time. on WoW Downtime Interview at Penny Arcade · · Score: 1

    There are actually zergling pets in the game.

  3. Plain AND Vanilla! on Walmart Offers Sub-$500 laptop With Linspire · · Score: 3, Funny

    "and a plain vanilla CD-ROM" Wow! Both plain AND vanilla! Walmart to the T!

  4. Personalized NEWater on Would You Drink This Water? · · Score: 1

    I could see this being big like the personalized iPods. Personalized NEWater that's been recycled from your favorite star's very own "waste water". You could buy Madonna flavored NEWater and be sure that it comes from a kosher Kaballah source. Or for those a little more daring, try the new Keith Richard's flavor, "Just like his blood, it's refreshingly recycled." Seriously, there's money to be made here.

  5. Link to questions? on Michael Moore Seeks TV Airing of Fahrenheit 9/11 · · Score: 1

    What kind of link is that? Right wing propaganda nutjob website presented as an opposing viewpoint of worth? Dave Kopel's article entitled "Loaded Guns Can Be Good for Kids" tends to show how much of a nut job this Dave Kopel guy is. http://www.cato.org/dailys/06-01-99a.html Bah. There are many more worthy opposing viewpoints to Michael Moore's film. This politics section of Slashdot needs some better editorial work.

  6. Petabytes? on Justice Dept. Raids Homes of File Swappers · · Score: 5, Funny

    Isn't that what happens to people who wear fur?

  7. Want a piece of the action? on Lawyer Sues Yahoo for Message Board Name-Calling · · Score: 1

    1)Start a message board on Yahoo. 2) Have all your friends and relatives join. 3) Call each other names. 4) Hop on this shyster's lawsuit. 5) ... 6) Profit!

  8. We're all gonna get sued... on Lawyer Sues Yahoo for Message Board Name-Calling · · Score: 2, Funny

    If this lawyer sings up for an account on Slashdot, he's gonna have a field day.

  9. Which browser is secure to use? on Dept. of Homeland Security Says to Stop Using IE · · Score: 1

    Should I pick one from this list? http://secunia.com/advisories/11978/ Hmmmm....

  10. Re:Im all for a good laugh and all... on Spider-Man in India · · Score: 1

    In this case it would be pissing in someone else's Chai.

  11. Spiderman costume on Spider-Man in India · · Score: 1

    Hmmmm.....That costume says... NOT GAY ENOUGH!!!

  12. Re:talked to an indian friend of mine about this on Spider-Man in India · · Score: 1

    Spiderman has been fighting demons throughout his career, particularly in the last few issues of Straczynski's Amazing Spider-Man.

  13. Terrorist??? Sounds like libel to me. on Hacker Indicted In France For Publishing Exploits · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If they publicly called you a terroist in writing without sufficient evidence, can't you sue their berets off for libel?

  14. Re:No, YOU RTFA. on New RFC Considers .sex TLD Dangerous · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Read the RFC and you'll understand the problems with a mandated TLD. It's not about protecting the kids, it's about being forced to have a TLD that might not be appropriate for your website. If you discuss abortion rights, would you need an adult TLD? If you discuss condoms, would you need an adult TLD? Who decides what is adult? The FCC? Congress? RTFRFC

  15. Re:Lieberman on New RFC Considers .sex TLD Dangerous · · Score: 1

    That's a decent reaction considering Lieberman has the same amount of foresight as he has foreskin.

  16. Re:Once again... on New RFC Considers .sex TLD Dangerous · · Score: 1

    Am I missing something here? Was that post supposed to be sarcastic? And who modded as Insightful? This RFC would push you toward being a more involved parent, since it is AGAINST the adult TLD idea. Did you read the RFC? Eastlake's arguments are quite good. Having to move to an adult domain because you happen to have a forum on your website that discusses abortion issues or gay/lesbian issues, or birth control, for example, could lead to you being prosecuted by a frothing at the mouth John Asscroft(remember he had a bad gallbladder). And as far as Lieberman's opinion goes, he can kiss my butt. He has about as much foresight as he has foreskin.

  17. Re:Public does not own the airwaves. on FCC to Regulate 'Profane' Speech · · Score: 3, Informative

    Actually, the public DOES own the airwaves. Those companies are licensed to use them, not own them. We subscribe to them for their content.

  18. Gamers are going to LOVE this! on Cincinnati Gets Broadband Over Power Lines · · Score: 3, Interesting

    With that bandwidth at that price, Cincinatti gamers will be some serious LPB's. I am filled with gaming envy.

  19. Practical reason for stopping Oracle on U.S. Attempts to Block Oracle Bid for PeopleSoft · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I work for a major university in California. We're currently implenting Peoplesoft's Student Administration product. (Which is a giant piece of crap BTW, but it's better than other products out there. I wish we had developed our own solution.) If Oracle buys out Peoplesoft, we would have to spend millions to get a new product. (We don't believe Larry when he says that Oracle will continue to support Peoplesoft's products.) If you consider that this software is used by a large number of schools in the US, you can figure out that this will be a HUGE expense (Hundreds of millions of dollars) for all these schools to switch to some new product in a few years. Who will pay this cost? You will. Either in school bonds or higher student fees. Larry ain't gonna pay for it. He's got to pay for his jet fuel.

  20. I foresee a new website coming soon... on Women Over 40 Biggest Online Gamers · · Score: 1

    www.gamermilfs.com The hottest gamer babes over 40....ready to play with your joystick.

  21. Re:ClearCom? on Rolling Your Own Wireless Communications System? · · Score: 1

    ClearCom is the way to go. Many theaters already use this system so you'd be using an industry standard. This will be helpful in getting a stage tech job in the future. The other nice thing about ClearCom is that it won't be affected by the Farraday Cage effect that can be caused by many lighting rigs/catwalks that are placed above the stage.

  22. Re:Mythic and Microsoft on Mythic Sues Microsoft Over Mythica MMORPG · · Score: 1

    Last time I checked Microsoft isn't a common adjective like Mythic is. What about all the other game companies that have Mythic in their names? Can't they sue Mythic Entertainment in the same way if they made a fantasy game prior to DAoC?

  23. Re:Ok Small Countries.... on Imagine A UN-Run Internet · · Score: 1

    Hmmmm.....Because of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, they ARE cold and dead!!

  24. Simple Question on Ask Neil Gaiman · · Score: 1

    How do you pronounce your last name?

  25. Proactive approach?? on Japan's War On E-Waste · · Score: 2, Funny

    They should've gone with the radioactive approach and have Godzilla take care of it all in one breath.
