    Good god. They are called rotary phones.

    Damn kids.

  3. Re:This is great on Moving from Tech to Trading? · · Score: 1

    This isn't flamebait, it's true. This ranks up their with asking Slashdotters for legal advice, it's completely retarded.

    "Hey Slashdot, should I make a major career change or not?"

  4. Re:A GNOME user converts. on KDE 3.5.4 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    First, who cares. Second, if indeed you were happy with Gnome when using it with Fedora, why did you choose to use Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu which is well known to use Gnome as it's default desktop environment. This is just a jab at Gnome masked in such a way to get an 'insightful' mod.

    It's happened before, no one seemed to mind.

  9. Re:Ha. on OpenGL Spec Now Controlled by Khronos Group · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Ya, it sucks that Apple never gave anything back. Oh wait, yes they did.

  10. Wow on The Top 100 Games of the 21st Century · · Score: 1

    Top selling 100 games of the past 4 and a half years. How very significant.

    You do know not everyone lives in a major city right?

  12. Re:Typical. on Oracle 'Losing Patience' with XenSource, VMware · · Score: 1

    Ah yes the essence of Free software. Try and force people to use it and call it Freedom.

  13. Unless on Vista Upgrade Matrix · · Score: 2

    Unless I can upgrade my XP Pro to an Ultimate Xtreem OMG edition I don't care.

  14. Re:My first HD on 50th Anniversary of the First Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Saying it works does not necessarily imply it is currently working, merely that it is capable of it. Your car sitting in a driveway is not currently working but presumably it does work.

  15. Kids these days are morons on Modern Humans Far More Robust Than Ancestors · · Score: 1

    Completely retarded, and they stay that way as they get older. Increasing IQ my ass.

  16. Yes, but on Fan-Designed Mindstorms Release Next Tuesday · · Score: 4, Funny
    With the right parts and programming, a Mindstorms robot can dance in response to sounds or follow the beam of a flashlight.
    Can it find Sarah Connor?

    Your not a human entitled to respect, you are a human resource no different then any other resource to the company.

  19. Who would have thought on OSS on Windows the Next Big Thing? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    People would use commercial closed source software on Linux and Free OSS on Windows. I mean, wow. There really are people that will choose to use the best tool for the job.

    I'm shocked. SHOCKED!

  20. Re:Hmmm... on Fantasy Trumps Sci-Fi For MMOs · · Score: 1
    What's so much different between a laser-gun wielding trooper and a lightning-spell chanting wizard?
    I can cast, (ok I can tell my character to cast) Thunder on a Thunder based mob and there will be at least some, if not a lot of resistance to the spell. It just won't do as much damage as it would against a Water based mob because of the magical elemental relationships. Explain resistance to a gun or laser weapon.

    On top of that, Sci-Fi often pretty much has the requirement that those characters that are engaged in the story have a level of knowledge that fits the world around them. You will never find players that fit that, the world would be as much a fantasy as a real fantasy game.
  21. Re:One Word... on Can Games Make You Cry? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Hate to break it to you, but simply saying it was a FMV in a game doesn't make it not part of the game. The death of Aeris wouldn't have been important at all if you just saw the cutscene so that wasn't what made it sad. It was all the interactions with the character that made you care about her and then you watched as a giant sword ripped through her.

  22. Re:Thanks for the conversion on Ripeness Sticker Coming to Supermarket Fruit · · Score: 2, Informative

    Maybe because a bushel is 'A unit of volume measure used as dry measure of grains and produce.'

  23. Oh Nos on IE7 to be Pushed to Users Via Windows Update · · Score: 0, Troll

    A windows update is appearing on WindowsUpdate.
