  1. Re:Oblig Quote on Half-Life 2 Ship Date Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Within the first 15 minutes of playing I had working wallhacks and fullbright cheats, purely from digging in the console.

    Yeah, good old cl_wallhack 1 ... Wonder why they haven't taken that out of the engine yet.

    Seriously though - I thought The Matrix was fiction. YOU ARE THE ONE!

  2. Is it possible? on Bush, Kerry, and Nader Respond to Youth Voter Questions · · Score: 1

    Is it possible that he's just a very poor public speaker, but given the chance to sit down and think over his answers, can provide at least coherent responses?

    No.

  3. Re:"What's a qubit?", on German Scientists Create 5 qubit Quantum Register · · Score: 1

    The analogy doesn't quite fit, but you can see how you can use the underlying probability to do calculations and get a definite answer.

    I can?

  4. Re:Java 5 or 1.5? on Have a Nice Steaming Cup of Java 5 · · Score: 1

    How much confidence do you have in a product that has 5 major releases before it hits 2.0?

    Actually it's Java 2 Standard Edition 5.0

    (all marketroids must be destroyed)

  5. Define dupe on Three Minutes With Mark Cuban · · Score: 1

    If the exact same content is covered, that seems awfully dupe-like to me.

    So you think it's only a dupe if the exact same article is linked? I'd hate to see your vision of a technically-speaking dupe-free slashdot, with a main page story for each major media news outlets coverage of the same information...

  6. Scaled Composites? on Canadian Arrow Completes Drop Test · · Score: 0, Troll

    So... what the hell happened to Scaled Composites and Space Shipe One?

    Threw in the towel? Someone stole their ship? Shouldn't they have done their 2nd flight like 3 months ago?

  7. Parent Informative on Mozilla UI Spoofing Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    Oh man, I wish I had some mod points...

    Is there anyway to always have links referencing "it" changed to "shit"? I don't see any user preference...

  8. Ahhhh on Phish Scams Fooling 28% of Users · · Score: 1

    Damn spaces.

    Perhaps instead of displaying the URL, email clients should ONLY display the domain the URL goes to...

  9. Earthlink? WTF? on Phish Scams Fooling 28% of Users · · Score: 1

    What I don't understand is how the Earthlink question (number 6) is a fraud.

    The status bar indicates all of the links go to the earthlink.net domain.

  10. New iPod supports Ogg Vorbis.... in Japan! on New iPod Design Pictures Leak · · Score: -1


    Seriously though... Vorbis support on iPod?

    Anyone? Anyone? Beuller?

  11. Orkut on Language Tempest At Orkut · · Score: 1


    What the heck does orkut means? Is it an english word?

    It's the name of the engineer, Orkut Buyukkokten (who's heritage is clearly that of a non-English speaking nation), who wrote it for one company and then illegally reused the same code for Google.

  12. Forums? on System Downtime, Maintenance · · Score: 1

    How about adding some plain old forums, eh?

  13. Uhm.... what? on Apache Maven 1.0 Released · · Score: 1


    Maven is a very robust project-management and project comprehension tool

    Uhm... what?

  14. Localization on GTA San Andreas Goes Swimming, Gangbanging, Smuggling · · Score: 1

    It seems like they're really pulling out all of the stops for this sequel - but I just know that it will contain yet more painful localization blunders.

    Remember hearing the mafiosos in GTA3 refer to garbage trucks as "dust carts"? Or parking garages as "car parks"? And let's not forget the sign in Manhunt that reminded players to "Please bin your rubbish".

    Seems like the voice actors should have pointed that out to the writers at the time, but I guess I wouldn't speak up if I were getting a paycheck (and never played a videogame in my life).

  15. Myth on On The Secret Life Of Videogame Voice Actors · · Score: 1

    The narrator of Myth and Myth 2 rocked.

    (Never played Myth 3 - after Bungie sold out and gave the franchise to another developer I lost interest.)

  16. Re:Shocking! on 4 New "Extremely Critical" IE Vulnerabilities · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Shocked! I'm shocked, I tell you!

    This is why I browse with a -1 modifier to so-called "Funny" comments. /Not That Funny

  17. Check yourself. on PBS Feels FCC Chill On Censorship · · Score: 1

    Ok, now I'm confused. They're censoring "Fuck", "Shit" and "Blow job". Are they saying that they had to remove these words because of he evil Bush government? Those words haven't been "allowed" for many years now. Really, this whole thing is absolute crap. "Chilling censorship" my ass.

    You might want to look back a few years to when Schindler's List was broadcast on NBC (IIRC) with no commercials and no editing for content. I distinctly recall the phrase "fucking bitch" being used.

    Word up.

  18. "Extensible" starts with an E on XORP 1.0 Released · · Score: -1, Redundant

    You know, in this day of X-Treme marketing and low literacy, it would be a breath of fresh air if someone actually used "E" in their acronym for words beginning with "ex".

    But then that wouldn't be as X-Treme, would it?

  19. But what if... on New Google Groups in Beta · · Score: 1


    Then I ask them to remove all my copyrighted content.

    Great idea, but what if they have a user agreement that states "All your post are belong to Google"?

    I know, I know... YOU won't use it. But almost everyone will. This really stinks of a Microsoft-style embrace and extend.

  20. Re:CS vs AA on Counter-Strike Source Beta Set for Late Summer · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Too bad AA runs like a slide show. Shouldn't need an X800 to run a 3rd rate FPS.

  21. Arwen on Ten-disc 'Matrix' DVD Box Set Planned · · Score: 1

    I think I could watch a few hours worth of Liv Tyler as Arwen brushing her hair. Or doing long division. Or sleeping...

  22. pound this on Ten-disc 'Matrix' DVD Box Set Planned · · Score: -1, Flamebait


    That would be "Pounds Sterling."

    And I'm American. Sheesh.


    You want a cookie?

    What the fuck is a pound of sterling anyway? Sounds like someone's currency is still tied to precious metals or some such. Quaint. (Then again, what do you expect from a nation that lives under a monarch?)

  23. PHBs on MSN's Slate Recommends Firefox over IE · · Score: 0

    Probably the feature of FOSS that makes it more secure is that it removes all PHBs(Pointy haired bosses for those who aren't dilbert fans)

    Uhm, the phrase "pointy haired bosses" doesn't have any meaning whatsoever outside the context of Dilbert. Simply stating what the acronym stands for helps no one.

  24. Re:And what about IPv7 ? on China Deploys IPv9 Network · · Score: 0, Troll

    Please shut up, okthxbye.

  25. Time? on Microsoft Patents Grouped Taskbar Buttons · · Score: 1

    I don't see any mention of time in your snippet. Sounds more like the thresholds involved are how many open windows there are for the app.
