  1. Re:Can they ask for them back? Yes. on Microsoft Laptop Recipient Auctioning Laptop · · Score: 1

    Did you learn this in 2006?

  2. Re:Since this is in Japan... on RFID Fitted Throughout Tokyo Ginza Shopping Center · · Score: 1

    Hi, I'm just curious about the relationship change, what made you 'friend' me. I ask this of everyone just so you know, so that you're more than just a name because I know more about you.

  3. Re:Since this is in Japan... on RFID Fitted Throughout Tokyo Ginza Shopping Center · · Score: 1

    While it was a joke I think you'll find the Japanese have a word for us Westerners. In their own way, they are being bigoted and they generally don't joke about it either when using this word. They call us 'baka-gaijin', which translates as 'stupid foreigner', this isn't an excuse either for my attempt at humour but merely to let you know that these things are all relative and at least I'm trying to be funny.

    Yes I understand the flaw in my joke, I knew this when I posted it, but the fact you are informing me of my error would suggest its working.

  5. Re:Ever thought of... on RFID Fitted Throughout Tokyo Ginza Shopping Center · · Score: 1

    I went to Japan in 2004 knowing only 2 phrases, but all the menu's were in kanji and english anyway.

    Its people like you that force me to use my measurement widget. The parent was talking meters and you come out with this feet shit!

  9. Re:Cut the BS on Microsoft Squeezes Win2000 Users · · Score: 1

    I work for a software company - and I suspect many Slashdotters do also, and there are extremely good reasons for this.

    Besides taking home a paycheck?

  10. Re:The US government only has so much money. on New Stargate Series In the Works · · Score: 1

    I do believe that one of the things about StarGate which was appreciated was that it was set in the current time and that it wasn't set in the future.

  11. Re:The US government only has so much money. on New Stargate Series In the Works · · Score: 1

    I forgot to add. This isn't like Star Trek either where they have huge resources so the show can be based anywhere, like DS9 or VOY and stay believable. On the upside, if they do base it from earth, they get to keep the current sets, the show will be cheaper to produce won't it? You'll also keep the base Commander that keeps appearing in Atlantis as well.

  12. The US government only has so much money. on New Stargate Series In the Works · · Score: 1

    So I wonder where they will base their operations. At Stargate Command? They already have a series in production which was supposed to be different to SG1. Will this new series be cut off from Earth again or will they operate from Earth HQ?

  13. Obviously a good thing. on AMD Reveals Plans to Move Beyond the Core Race · · Score: 1

    Two different methods that achieve the same result are better than one.

  14. This sounds so bad. on New Animated Star Trek In The Works · · Score: 1

    First, is the fact they need to jump 150 years into the future. Why not just 5 years or something? There is a rich culture waiting to be explored in the current realm of DS9 and VOY, why jump ahead and make another load of changes to the universe and an audience has to learn everything all over again?

  15. Re:Not on XP? on Samsung's Solid-State Disk Drive Unveiled · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I'm glad somebody got what you were saying and you got moderated accordingly, some mods do pay attention.

  16. Re:Why do we care all that much? on White Dolphin Functionally Extict · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Where did you learn Math? Verizon? Anyway, we should care because we are directly responsible for their extinction, not mother nature.

    If they were acting, then they were fucking very good at it and are clearly in the wrong job with their skill set.

  21. The clever people go to Tesco on The Wii Hits the UK · · Score: 1

    A Tesco Extra store in Swansea had 27 people queue inside the store in the Non-food department, they were given chairs while they waited until it was 12am. One person had been there since 5pm in order to be first.
