  1. Buy your loved one a magnetic pillow! on Study Suggests Magnets Can Force You to Tell the Truth · · Score: 0

    All of a sudden she forgot the word no. sweeeeet.

  2. RIFT on Anti-Piracy Lawyers Accuse Blind Man of Downloading Films · · Score: 1

    RIFT, that is why and that is all.

  3. They've been doing this for decades in alberta on US Energy Panel Cautiously Endorses Fracking · · Score: 1

    This is not new technology. There's not much toxic crap going in there and no one here whining about it polluting their lands. Killing their live stock etc. And livestock is almost as big as oil here. Anyhow old tech is old.

  4. Re:And once again... on Happy System Administrator Appreciation Day · · Score: 1

    In honor of this day go home early and watch 'the IT crowd' it will speak to you I'm sure.

  5. Sure, ban cell phones in school .. on GSM Association Slams Euro Call For Ban On Wireless In School · · Score: 1

    However, lets do it for a real reason. Those kids are twittering, facebooking, TXTing etc etc etc. Put your phones on SILENT and pay attention damnit.

  6. Re:Ten points if reading this on your second monit on Do Developers Really Need a Second Monitor? · · Score: 2

    Oh yes! I love dual screen monitors. 2x22's at work and at home I wanted dual screen so bad I have a 24 and a 17. Proven to make workers more productive. Not sure if it's because they can work on both or keep work on one and Slashdot on the other. That way work occasionally comes in to peripheral vision and reminds them they are supposed to be working.

  7. Re:So when did text have to become an active paylo on New "Spear Phishing" Attacks Target IT Admins · · Score: 1

    Your boss and mentor was Ron White? haha.... you can't fix stupid ... no ... stupid is foe evah

  8. Way to much still.. on Judge Lowers Jammie Thomas' Damages to $54,000 · · Score: 0, Troll

    This is just silly .... reflecting damages. You steal it, do not distribute it. Therefore you have 'stolen' two cd's worth and should be fined a maximum of 25 dollars per 'CD'. His fine should not exceed $50. These guys are fishing with dynamite.

  9. I love this game ... 'occasioanal lockups?' on Fallout 3 Launches Amidst Controversy · · Score: 1

    Hahahah ... more like completely random and gauanteed to occur within a 2 hour period. And why does VATS casue lag afterwards? So bad that the only way to fix it is to exit the game and start again. for those of you experiencing lockups ... just press ctrl alt delete and end the task. ctrl shift esc does not work. Ah well other then that i love the game so far. It's a pity the censors are so uptight as usual.

  10. Re:An the solution is.... on MoBo Manufacturer Foxconn Refuses To Support Linux · · Score: 1

    He's right vote with your money, there are quite a few linux users these days. However, I use windows to and I will no longer buy Foxxcon mobo's for windows either. Nor for any of the computers we build for our office. There's no reason for it not to work with Linux for god sakes. Event ghetto cheap asrock motherboards support linux. Linux is still on the rise, I hope more companies change their mind about basic support.

  11. Re:Too Short on NAO Humanoid Robot Set To Hit the Market · · Score: 1

    If it can't reach the beer in the fridge, then who really cares.

    It's arms are modular according to the pdf. Allowing for further evolution / longer arms and thus beer getting ability!

  12. Re:A question of rules. on Ask the Designers of D&D Fourth Edition · · Score: 1

    the eye was an example, a kobald is more likely to sever an important artery in the groin area.

  13. It's simple really ... it'll be like cooking mama! on Iron Chef Game Listed, Then Pulled · · Score: 1

    My girlfriend loved cooking mama. She'd love it if it were similar for iron chef. In the end of the match off they'll have a bunch of dopes telling them how crappy their cooking is and one of the characters will cry. or it might be like burger time.

  14. Re:A question of rules. on Ask the Designers of D&D Fourth Edition · · Score: 1

    bout time~! We just ignored the 'threat of a critical' anyhow. Seriously there's a knife in your eye ... but did it hurt? I can't wait, coincidentally I'm having my first child in June. If he / she is born on the release day that poor child will be doomed!

  15. A question of rules. on Ask the Designers of D&D Fourth Edition · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Will d&d 4th, require a person to confirm critical hits, or will a mace
    in the face be a mace in the face? (that is will a 20 be a critical hit)

  16. Re:Clearly you're mistaken on Leopard as the New Vista? · · Score: 1

    either way, it's supposed to 'just work'. I guess every OS can have growing pains. As the guys from dead troll sung, eeeeevery OS Sucks! PS. I'm still waiting for them to switch their adds to "Hey Windows It's me MacOS"

  17. Re:Here, Here! on Getting Gouged by Geeks · · Score: 1

    My standard fee is usually a pizza ... for the longer jobs a pan of HOME MADE lasagna. I had some Mom's try to gouge ME and pass off that crap from Safeway as home cooked! One time I got two pans (weee for gluttony). The same goes for mechanics, befriend one and pay him in beer AFTER the job is complete.

  18. This is a double edged sword. on HIV Vaccine Ready For Clinical Trials · · Score: 1

    If this occurs and works as planned, hippies and free love will return. This does not bode well for the war on terror ... errr freedom. Then again I guess they still have other STDs to worry about.

  19. Perhaps they dont intend to make their own spyware on Microsoft Patents the Mother of All Adware · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they just intend to sue the makers and users (adware companies) for usage of their 'IP'. Sue (enter company here) for infringing on their spam and adware intellectual property. Unless they buy 'vouchers' to protect them from litigation.

  20. Here's my list, on First Thing IT Managers Do In the Morning? · · Score: 1

    wakeup, coffee, email, slashdot, washroom, food if I remember. go to work. coffee (free coffee is better than no coffee) email, make sure backups are corrupted (errrr are not?) go on with day.

  21. Re:if only linux had more games. on 2008 - Year of Linux Desktop? · · Score: 1

    John has done wonders and so have the folks at unreal. It would be nice if alot of the MM0's would be ported. Most people these days play an mmo, and will not leave it despite windows short commings.

  22. Re:if only linux had more games. on 2008 - Year of Linux Desktop? · · Score: 1

    if i go and buy say ... titan quest will it run on opengl? nope

    thats what i meant by standard .. something everyone uses.

    so every game can run on linux / windows naitivly

  23. Re:if only linux had more games. on 2008 - Year of Linux Desktop? · · Score: 1

    something along the lines of directx for linux. So that i could take any pc game and put it on linux without having to monkey with wine / cedega only to find out that it still isn't compatible.

  24. if only linux had more games. on 2008 - Year of Linux Desktop? · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's sad that theres no globally accepted library etc, that all devs use. I mean some apps are mac / windows. why not mac /windows / linux? Since mac runs on a version of *nix. And don't give me that wine / cedega bs. Sadly, until I give up gaming on PC I will have at least one windows box. I hope that Linux continues to offer more and more people an alternative though. Competition is good!

  25. Re:Safety isn't first on Explosives Camp · · Score: 1

    unprimed dynamite can lead to serious premature explosion risks. It in itself is a safety measure.
