  1. Re:saving throw... on Study Shows One Third of All Studies Are Nonsense · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't that be "Didn't make the saving throw, I don't manage to disbelieve the story, so I believe it."

  2. Re:more like on Study Shows One Third of All Studies Are Nonsense · · Score: 1

    It's true. I've never seen anything left out of a study because it didn't fit with what was wanted. Ever.

  3. Re:The next logical step on BBC In Trouble Over Free Music · · Score: 1

    Corporations have rights...?

    Now, all they need is the right to hold territory and private armies and we'll have ourselves a Dystopia on our hands.

  4. Re:If God Had Meant Man to Go Into Space on Falling Window Cover Damages Discovery · · Score: 1

    Like Zerg Overlords.

  5. Re:ummmm on Dungeon Master's Guide II · · Score: 4, Funny

    Actually it does. It's more of a limit to zero.

    And there goes mine...

  6. Re:Get new life? on Last Year's Gadgets Get New Life As... Jewelry · · Score: 1

    One man's -1, Troll is another's +1, Funny. I wasn't being a bigot.

  7. Re:Its way deeper than music remix.... on William Gibson on The Age of The Remix · · Score: 1

    I suppose that you could argue that, in some way, all creative works had to come from somewhere, so they are shared by everyone.

  8. Re:The degredation of society.. on William Gibson on The Age of The Remix · · Score: 1

    I think Gibson's very right. 'Creativitiy' it seems gets lumped into categories these days, and it needs to have come from something else. That bothers me so much. Such, as an electronic musician, I get asked what Genre I fall into and what my influences were. In actuality, most of my music comes from myself and falls into no preset genre. Yes, I've done cut/paste songs too, but they're not satisfying at all.

    "The new renaissance should be quite entertaining."
    If we're alive to see it.

  9. Re:The core failing of remixing... on William Gibson on The Age of The Remix · · Score: 1

    You've got some ideas mixed up. All a remix has done is moved the creation towards a Craft rather than an Art. You still have to be creative to remix anything. Crafts require you to be creative, just like Art. It's a different extent and a different form.

  10. Re:sometimes ripoff, sometimes not on William Gibson on The Age of The Remix · · Score: 1

    It's so much better for artists to remake songs in the wrong genre.

  11. Get new life? on Last Year's Gadgets Get New Life As... Jewelry · · Score: 0, Troll

    Get new life as Jew?

    Ohhhh, jewelry. I thought for a second there we had some way of synthesizing Jews.

    (RSS cut the title off).

  12. Genome? on Neanderthal Genome to be Sequenced · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So, this only gets the 10% of the DNA considered 'useful', right? I read somewhere the rest is actually more important than what we consider. What's the deal?

  13. Re:Great. More rainforest destruction for fetishis on Real Wood iPod · · Score: 2, Funny

    But at least we're rich. And have lots of THINGS! And STUFF! That's where real happiness comes from.

    Right?

  14. Re:mm... the 70's on Real Wood iPod · · Score: 1

    It also rings true for those born after the 70s died. You do know the 80s are coming back, right? That whole era thing?

  15. Re:80 games on Man Convicted For Hacking Xbox · · Score: 1

    My God... if only you could pirate and easily clone hash...

    Excuse me, that's "infringe" on the hash.

  16. Re:The point.... on Man Convicted For Hacking Xbox · · Score: 1

    HOW LONG BEFORE I NEED TO HAVE A FEDERALLY APPROVED "SOLDERING IRON" OR "OSCILLOSCOPE" LICENSE?!

    You'll be fine unless sodering irons or oscilloscopes threaten corporate or governmental interests.

    Thank you lameness filter, I really appreciate that when quoting somebody else I get smacked and can't post what I'm trying to say. I'm full aware that all caps is similar to yelling. The original poster was yelling.

  17. Re:You humans are so arrogant! on Tempel 1 Impact Day After Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    Yup.

    Calvin: Why does it go from east to west?
    Dad: Solar wind

    Couldn't find a copy of the original strip...

  18. Re:Sick of the staple... on The Business of Anime · · Score: 1

    And what in the world makes you think you need to follow along with the cliches that everyone else lays out for you? If you don't like Anime, don't watch it! You don't have to hand in your Slashdot lisence just because you don't fit 100% in with our definition of geek. I don't either, because I believe in a God. People are unique. Go form your own opinions, and don't ask why everyone else has different ones.

  19. Re:Answer on Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament · · Score: 1

    That would be the most evil sith of all. It's the perfect cover.

  20. Re:Jesus Heals on Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament · · Score: 1

    Uh... that's a common conception of what God is... a great force of the unknown... Makes sense, no?

    Also, many people believe there is a reason for everything. So, without a ready reason, God works.

  21. Re:Wrong Claim on Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament · · Score: 1

    You don't need to be Christian to be like that. That sounds to me like amazing common sense.

    But, I don't understand how you shouldn't criticize others, but it's ok to criticize the leaders?

  22. Re:A Jedi once bit his sister... on Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament · · Score: 1

    I... I... wow... holy... I think my head just exploded AND I creamed my pants at the same time.

    "Let's not go to Alderaan, tis a silly place."

    And the singing number, Knights of the Jedi Order.

    I'm not creative enough, help me out fellow geeks!

  23. Re:The Force is *retarded* with this one... on Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So, in other words, the effect is there, but since there is a scientific explination for it, for some reason we can't call it chi anymore?

  24. Re:-1 Troll on Who Cares if Analog TV Goes Dark? · · Score: 1

    They might just wake up and realize how much they are being crapped on by our economic and legal systems. They might decide that there is a small group of people at the top who are responsible.

    And what's the problem with that?

  25. Re:-1 Troll on Who Cares if Analog TV Goes Dark? · · Score: 1

    I can't get cable TV where I live. It's not that my family is poor - by contrast, we're upper-middle class. But it would cost thousands of dollars to run the cable down the road to our house. We live in a forest. And I think we're all better off without most of what runs on television.

    Of course, we have to suffer through dialup.
