  1. Re:Cue the Zombie film on Walmart Goes Solar In California · · Score: 1

    Not a bad idea overall. The stores I've been in are made of concrete blocks with emergency doors made of steel that only open from the inside. Use the walls for an outer perimeter, and then build barricades near the middle of the store for actual living space.

  2. Re:Windows, duh! on Walmart Goes Solar In California · · Score: 2

    You have never been in a walmart have you? I have never seen one without skylights.

  3. Re:Yeah... on US House 'Creator' of TSA Wants To Kill It · · Score: 1

    They will have plenty of oversight. If they fuck up, they get sued to bankruptcy. If the TSA fucks up then you can't do anything. They are a Federal Agency and have Sovereign Immunity. The entire reason for their existence is to shield the airlines from liability from 9/11, and similar incidents.

    Here is an earlier video showing the game.

  5. Re:Interesting... on Purported FBI Report Calls Anonymous a National Security Threat · · Score: 1

    If every member of Anonymous died today then I doubt anyone would feel like being part of a similar group for a long time.

  6. Re:Hmmm on Turnitin's Different Messages To Students, Teachers · · Score: 1

    And if nothing else, you're a much more enriched, intelligent truck driver.

    With $60k of student debt. Which means you are about $200 in the hole a month compared to the non-degreed guy in the next truck over.

    Maybe his grandmother is mentally handicapped you insensitive clod.

  8. Re:lol on Coming Soon to EA's Origin Store: Third-Party Titles · · Score: 1

    Personally I would like to see EA games that were actually worth the money they charge for them.

  9. Re:Interesting. on Aussie Blogger Hit With DDoS Death Threats · · Score: 3, Informative

    http://www.secretservice.gov/investigations.shtml

    Since 1984, the Secret Service's investigative responsibilities have expanded to include crimes that involve financial institution fraud, computer and telecommunications fraud, false identification documents, access device fraud, advance fee fraud, electronic funds transfers and money laundering as it relates to the agency's core violations.

  10. Re:Oh, they can fuck right off. on After Cell-Phone Switch-Off, Anonymous Promises BART Protest · · Score: 1

    That doesn't keep them from kicking you out, and refunding your money.

  11. Re:3 of 6 half a dozen of the other on ISPs Will Now Be Copyright Cops · · Score: 1

    They don't need police power. They just need to decide if your money is worth the trouble.

  12. Re:LEarn from our Chinese neighbors on IT Crises vs. Vacation: Sometimes It Isn't Pretty · · Score: 1

    Also we would need some sort of system to make sure that people didn't just spend the rest of their lives collecting the unemployment. Maybe put cameras and microphones in their tvs.

  13. Re:Budget cuts? nah, don't need them. on New IMF Head Says US Must Raise Debt Limit, or Face 'Nasty Consequences' · · Score: 2

    Because the best way to fix a puncture wound is blood transfusions. No need to remove the metal pipe imbedded into your torso. Just pour more blood in there, everything will be fine.

  15. Re:Ummm... Sorry... on Anonymous Leaks Internal Bank of America Emails · · Score: 0

    He was one of the founders of the Tea Party, but now decries them as sell outs. He doesn't support the gold standard, but wants the treasury to hold the currency level with neither inflation or deflation.

    Try not deciding whether someone is worth listening to before you listen to them in the future. It will serve you well.

  16. Re:Fitting name... on Facebook Photo of Stolen Ring Puts Couple In Jail · · Score: 1

    She is alleged to have held stolen property. That is a crime in most places if you know it is stolen.

  17. So... on First-of-its-Kind Hard X-ray Free-Electron Laser Images Intact Viruses · · Score: 1, Funny

    How long until the TSA insists on having these?

  18. Re:Did you copy their code? on Takedown Letters For WP7 Tetris Clones · · Score: 1

    Cola is a generic term. Simply Cola would not infringe on Coca Cola in any way. More accurately for this instance the other cola product would be called Cocade Cola, and use the same can designs and font as Coca Cola.

    If he had called it Block Stocker 2000 or something then they wouldn't have been able to do anything against him unless it could be shown he was actually using their code.

    He isn't even the first person to come whining to /. after rightfully getting smacked for this. See http://ask.slashdot.org/story/10/12/05/1736246/avoiding-dmca-woes-as-an-indy-game-developer

  20. Worse... on Putting Up With Consolitis · · Score: 1

    The one thing worse than consolitis is inline advertisements injected into the text of an article as fake links. D:

    But going back to the subject at hand the most glaring recent example of consolitis in a game has to be The Force Unleashed. That game had horrible mouse control which made one boss fight basically impossible. With a gamepad you had to hold just both sticks down, but with the mouse you had to constantly move the mouse downwards for 30 seconds at a time. Arggg.

  21. Huh on Super Mario Coming To the 3DS · · Score: 2

    bringing the classic franchise into the world of 3-D

    Err... Mario 64 did that a while back. Followed by several other titles.

  22. Tabs on Pub Patrons Down Under Subject To Biometric Datamining · · Score: 1

    One reason they like this is it means they can let the people run up tabs if they don't have enough for their drinks. So if you only bring $20 with you so you won't spend too much while drunk they can get you to run up a tab, and collect on it later.

  23. Cue scams in 10... on Magnetic Brain Stimulation Makes Learning Easier · · Score: 1

    I see thousands upon thousands of magnetic "performance enhancing" headbands in the near future.

  24. Re:Damn academics on Scientists Work To Grow Meat In a Lab · · Score: 1

    The FDA will see that it never gets off the ground. It doesn't have rich enough lobbyists for their taste.

  25. Re:type of game matters! on Are Gamers Safer Drivers? · · Score: 1

    If you can drive like Niko I think you need to get the Teflon taken off your tires.

    I found that when I started driving my experience in how cars maneuvered in videogames helped me learn the ropes faster. Since the games had much different control schemes than actually driving I didn't transfer any bad habits.
