  1. Re:what does this accomplish on FTC Fines Xanga for Violating Kids' Privacy · · Score: 4, Funny

    So, logically, pornography websites that checks the user's age should be commended on their help of teaching kids basic subtraction? Obviously this means we can cut the education budget since these websites will pick up the slack. Brilliant!

  2. Re:How to turn it off.. on Vista Startup Sound to be Mandatory? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, they would have modded it "+1 Painfully True" if they could have...

  3. Re:Contract costs or ??? on 'Stargate: SG-1' Cancelled · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Radar really made the show. Wait, which series are we talking about?

  4. Re:What kind of question is this? on Upgrading Wi-Fi — What, When, and Why · · Score: 1

    Seriously? That sounds suspiciously similar to the way microwave ovens work... What's that, they use microwaves? Who would have thought that microwaves would have used microwaves, and that something else using microwaves would have behaved in a similar way. Next you'll say that the microwave-based extension cord will be bad for your health to be around... Blows the mind!

  5. Re:Uh, no. on Piracy Killing PC Gaming? · · Score: 1

    There's also FreeSpace 2, which I suppose is now an ex-commercial game. Plus, there are several mods being made for it, one of which is a StarFox game, and another one that's based off of a space Sci-Fi show, though I forget which one.

  6. Re:I'll pass on Google Video Runs Ads & Shares the Profits · · Score: 1

    Much like the advertisement for your website.

  7. Re:Keyboard would be freakin' simple to do. on More 'Hero' Games Without Guitars Likely · · Score: 1

    I think you mean the Cheatar!

  8. Re:Drum hero on More 'Hero' Games Without Guitars Likely · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure the makers of "Litigation Jackson" would have something to say about that bonus level...

  9. Re:It's more Management /Researcher IQ divide on End of a Scientific Legend? · · Score: 1

    Well, I happen to like popcorn...

  10. Just don't do an AA... on World of Starcraft? Not So Much · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Auto Assault is a bit like StarCraft crossed with WoW (I would imagine, never played WoW...). 3 Races, 4 types of characters. If they do make a StarCraft MMOG, I hope at the very least they don't do what AA did, and actually test it so it doesn't launch with missions that don't work, buggy AI, and missing features. But if they're not planning on a MMOG version of StarCraft, I'd settle for it on the NDS, or maybe PSP. :X

  11. Re:print url on DIY 4 GHz Dual Core Gaming Rig For $720 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, you can copy and paste it so it doesn't sense the external referral and redirect.

  12. Re:Already on the desktop on Core Duo Reaches the Desktop · · Score: 1

    They have decoder rings now?! I knew there must have been an easier way to keep track of CPUs... I don't suppose you happen to know which brand of cereal they come in?

  13. Re:can you? on Microsoft PowerShell RC1 · · Score: 1

    No, the point is that you no longer have to type "d:" to change from the C: drive to the D: drive.

  14. Re:flame war? on Useful Apps for First-Time Windows Users? · · Score: 1

    Why just loosen the prefix? Might as well take it off all together.

  15. Re:Higher security? on Unlock Your Doors With a Knock Code · · Score: 1

    My trick against them is to put the car up on the cinderblocks.

  16. Re:Not trying hard enough... on Small-Town Open Source Adoption · · Score: 1

    You seem to hate people from the eastern part of the USA. Did some tourist beat you as a kid? Probably not, I'm sure. It's just pride. And while it's good to take pride, you do realize you're calling people morons and saying that anyone from the east coast is worse than someone from the west. And I do realize that you are trying to have a regular debate, but unfortunately this prejudice is severely ruining it.

    eg:
    http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=178528&c id=14801726:
    You obviously live somewhere like New York, where grass doesn't even grow in the cracks of the concrete because there's so much oil in the dirt
    Yep, since New York is the only city with concrete, not to mention it's slathered in oil.

    http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=178528&c id=14801666
    Look, dopes.
    Ah, name calling; quite a way to get people to respect you.

    http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=178528&c id=14801958
    Seriously, have some freakin' self respect and start acting like something other than a pimply faced, sittn' in the dark moron who does nothing but stare at porno in his operation center all day.) You're the exact kind of eastern shore asshole that no on west of the Mississippi would work for
    Because there's no such thing as an asshole that isn't from the eastern shore, much less one that's pimply faced.

  17. Re:Ohm's law on Low Voltage Power Distribution? · · Score: 1

    "But what if the fuse shorts out?"

    Then the GFCI trips!

    "But then tha could short out, too! That'd be even worse!"

    Ah, you think you got me, but I've already thought of that. It's GFCI all the way down!

  18. Re:Culture shouldn't be making "Hikikomori" on Internet Suicide Pacts Surge in Japan · · Score: 1

    Bah, that's not even western! Everyone knows that western means the USA! ;x

  19. Re:antennas? on Software-Defined Radio Could Unify Wireless World · · Score: 1

    One possible way might be is to have the longest antenna they need on the device and have different connection points to simulate different length antennas. Would probably need some diodes in there to prevent the signal from bouncing back, though, which might cause signal power loss.

  20. Re:Any equivalent for Linux? on Futuremark 3DMark06 Released · · Score: 1

    There is also Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, which is free.

  21. Amazing! on Alternative Energy Confusion · · Score: 1

    Amazingly enough, I'm actually working on an alternative energy project for my school's Public Affair's class. My group is actually on its way to getting a photovoltaic system for the school (With luck, but it looks good so far!). As another project for it, I'm working on a website for the class, too. It's going to contain a collection of alternative energy resources for home-owners, but isn't quite complete at this time. (Residential cable, woo!)
    PS: NY state, too. :E

  22. Re:Why new D-SLR announcements on Ultrawide Zoom in a Compact Camera · · Score: 1

    Ah, I see you have the machine that goes "Ping!"

  23. Re:What version of OS X are you running? on KDE 4 to Support Apple Dashboard Widgets · · Score: 1

    No, I doubt he knew about your problems and what fixed them.

  24. Re:Firefox has very serious problems (For some) on Firefox Secrets · · Score: 1

    Strangely enough, I had 1.0.7 eat up all my memory and swap space under Linux recently, and yet when I've done the same browsing, if not more, with 1.5.0 on Windows, I've had no problems. Also, I had Firefox crash a lot more on 1.0.x in Windows than 1.5 does. My guess is I'm not enough of a power user, but I have not had any problems. I just hope I don't jinx myself.

    Already?! I just installed 2.0 after a harddrive crash. Geez...
