  1. Dogs on Home Defense, Geek Style? · · Score: 1

    I have 2 pitbulls. IF someone comes near my yard I know of it very quickly. Then you get your gun. I would think that most people would be scared away by the sound of a 12 gague being chambered.

  2. Re:You know it's time to get a new computer... on DOOM 3 Final Video Trailer Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's kinda strange how you are having problems playing this. On my iMac w/ 450Mhz G3 and 512 Megs o' RAM it plays fine. Im sure your PC is better than that.

  3. This game looks freakin' awesome.... on DOOM 3 Final Video Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    I'm suprised that the req.'s are so low. I can't wait to get it.

  4. Re:I have 4 kids, nothing violent is . . . on Modding Laser Tag Gear? · · Score: 1

    I only referenced the Gracies as far as chokes and locks, not as am. wrestlers. And besides I dont know jack shit about any "martial arts". I do know that I've been in dozens of fights and hardly ever hit someone, it hurts my hand far too much. I've also been hit some and it hurts very much as well. So I try to avoid it. People freak when you've got their air cut off and you are laying on top of them though. I just wish people would fight one on one nowadays. It's always gotta be a group jumping somone else, or someone getting shot.

    The problem with this logic is that children cannot yet understand the seriousness of what they are learning. I don't think that teaching a kid "martial arts" is gonna help them that much anyway. Just let 'em go at. If you feel that training is necessary Amateur Wrestling would be the way to go. Nearly every fight I've ever been in ended up on the groud. Chokes and locks are a bitch(ever see the Gracies on UFC?). Especially if the other opponent is untrained.

    You are gonna have some weak nerdy kids what with the Renfesting and the no REAL fighting experience. Hell if I hadn't fought with my brother as a child the number of times that my ass would have gotten pounded as an adolescent is huge. While I don't agree with condoning violence, my belief is that it is not good to never let your children give/receive an ass beating now and again. Please don't think im critcising your parenting at all. Just commenting on how violence helped me growing up. I suppose it depends on where you grew up as well...

  8. Re:Don't buy diamonds now on Diamond Age Approaching? · · Score: 1

    If she is so shallow that she won't love you with out gifts, then you shouldn't be wasting your time with her anyway.

    If you need to buy her a ring in the first place, chances are that she is very shallow as it is. DeBeers has done more despicable(?) shit than a care to mention. Just do a google. If this technology puts DeBeers out, fine. On the plus side we can now make cans of Dew and Cheesy Poofs right next to our PC!

    When's the last time you saw a movie where an explosion in space does not make any noise?

  10. Re:yer really clueless arent you? sheesh... on Mandrakelinux 10 Official Released · · Score: 1

    I gotta agree I installed 10 Community and it was the 1st time I didn't have to fight make sound work properly, and video for that matter. It did just work out of box.

    i was just hinking that same thing. If you are reading slashdot you ALREADY KNOW how to do a clean install/defrag of any modern OS.
