  1. Re:Killed?? on Woman Killed In Wii-Related Competition · · Score: 1

    In BCT for the Army, in Ft. Jackson, SC, we had to drink 1-1.25 1 quart canteens an hour, in addition to one glass with every meal. Of course, this was in the summer... They were more worried about dehydration that overhydration. Shit, in the fall, we still had hydration formations in the evening. Made for great late-night wake-up trips to the bathroom. :)

  2. Re:Earth not detectable anymore in 20 years on Detection of Earth-like Civilizations in Space Now Possible · · Score: 1

    The fortunate thing about this insight is that the only civilizations we should be able to detect by these means are ones we can crush, because they haven't discovered the benefits of spread spectrum technology :)

  3. Slashdot... on 10th Annual Wacky Warning Labels Out · · Score: 3, Funny

  4. Re:Nuke The Motherfuckers into Oblivion on North Korea's Secret Biochemical Arsenal · · Score: 1

    Because there won't be any negative 'fallout' from that one... Right. (Saying this as someone about ot be deployed to S. Korea). Nothing of note will happen in terms of military conflict between the US and N. Korea in the next 5 years. if it does. It won't be between N Korea and the U.S.. It'll be between China and the U.S....

  5. Re:Count me in. on Sam & Max, Back From the Dead · · Score: 1

    You are quite welcome! I have enjoyed Sam & Max and DOTT on a variety of platforms thanks to the great work of ScummVM's team. I appreciate the thanks. Game on!

  6. Re:Count me in. on Sam & Max, Back From the Dead · · Score: 1

    Nope, in fact I'm pretty positive the new game won't be based on ScummVM. I was referring to the parent, which was talking about playing the original game on something other than XP.

  7. Re:Count me in. on Sam & Max, Back From the Dead · · Score: 4, Informative

    that would be http://www.scummvm.org

  8. Re:Count me in. on Sam & Max, Back From the Dead · · Score: 1, Informative

    You don't need a Windows machine, per se- all you need is a ScummVM interpreter. You can find them for various platforms (such as Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Dreamcast, PocketPC, PalmOS, AmigaOS, BeOS, OS/2, PSP, PS2, SymbianOS/EPOC) here. Avoid windows and enjoy.

  9. Re:unpaid labor... on Law of Unintended Consequences Strikes Grocers · · Score: 1

    That'll be great until you have Mr. and Mrs. Fatty McFatterson trying to get 21$ off their 700$ weekly beer-and-taquito run, taking 45 minutes to get through the self-checkout. No thank you.

  10. Re:Wow!! How'd they miss this one??? on Strange iPod Accessories · · Score: 1

    That looks so April-Fools-ish.. Sure it's real?

  11. Re:As a counterpoint on Microsoft Workers Prefer Google · · Score: 0

    But then, (un)fortunately, you'd break the minds of the majority of slashdot users with your clever revealing of doublethink. And personally, I don't want to clean up the brain matter and blood off the floor.

  12. Re:I've switched on Microsoft Workers Prefer Google · · Score: 1, Interesting

    If that's true, you're not phrasing your queries effectively. Google's strength (IMHO) is in its depth, not necessarily it's psychic powers in determining what you're really searching for.

  13. Re:Game Sematary on Electronic Arts To Aquire Mythic Entertainment · · Score: 0

    That's cemetary, dude.

  14. Re:-1 Wrong modifier needed... on The Register Finds Fault In Turion Benchmark Setup · · Score: 0

    I have a 12in AlBook (rev 1, 867mhz) and I can get 5.5 hours with wireless off, display at half brightness, or 3.5~4 with wireless on. That's not that bad, and I think I've done 6.5 with display at one notch, wireless off, and processor to 'reduced' (reading ebooks late at night in a dark room). That's nothing to sneeze on _at all_.

  15. Cannibals need breakfast food too... on Harvard to Clone Human Embryos? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Pah. The best part's the software man... A virtual UQO inside your UQO... MADNESS I SAY

  17. But..... on OQO Ultra-Portable Impresses At CES · · Score: 0

    Can I run my distrubted processing responsibilities for the Walled City on it, and will it tell me when Kombinat hackers are investigating about my wherabouts?

  18. If you used LOX to cool it, on AMD Releases Barton: Athlon 3000+ · · Score: 1

    you wouldn't have much of a computer left.. Powerful oxidizer and electricity and juicy capacitors.. Come on...

  19. Not Like LOTR..... on Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama going Hollywood? · · Score: 1

    Because, you don't have to change Clarke's writing style to make an entertaining movie- he's not detail-orientated on *quite* the level of good ol' John Ronald Reuel.
