  1. Re:Cloud computing on FBI Seizes All Servers In Dallas Data Center · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Wrong. When I take planes, they just fly straight through the clouds. Think how hard it would be to suck up and confiscate all of them.

  2. Re:Get Psyched! on Review: F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin · · Score: 1

    I was annoyed FEAR 2 couldn't do the opposite. It forces me to use widescreen on my 5:4 monitor.

  3. Prepare for on Large Hadron Collider Sparks 'Doomsday' Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Unforeseen Consequences

  4. Re:This is where EULAs come in on Blizzard Sues Creator of WoW Bot · · Score: 1

    The problem with this particular bot for Blizzard is, it's hard to detect, thus they felt they needed to use legal action instead of improving their game to remove the monotony that bots thrive on.

  5. Re:a world that never changes on The Future of MMOs · · Score: 1

    There was an MMO in development, called Dawn, that sounded a lot like what you want. The world would start mostly barren, players would build their own cities. New characters would be born as children of other characters, and animals would reproduce instead of randomly spawning. Sadly, it never got very far in development.

  6. Re:Cash or Backup? on Seagate Offers Refunds on 6.2 Million Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    It's only 5% though. Even if I didn't disagree with the ruling, I'd only get around $7 for the drive for which I paid $140.

    This isn't gonna make a dent in Seagate, fortunately. You have to mail in your claim to get cash, and giving away the recovery software costs them essentially nothing.

  7. Meebo on Facebook Gets New Integrated IM Client · · Score: 5, Interesting

    There has been a Meebo app out for ages, so I don't know where this "first time" thing is coming from.

  8. Re:Lame on Blizzard Announces StarCraft 2 · · Score: 1

    I was looking forward to an MMORTS myself.

  9. Get up, get up and DANCE on Haptics Technology Turns Phones into Weapons · · Score: 1

    One step closer to the device that stabs people over the internet :)

  10. Re:So What? on Christian Group Prepares To Mark Wii as 'Porn Portal' · · Score: 1

    EXACTLY.

    I would expect Kotaku to use a catchy, misleading headline to get readers, but I'm disappointed in Slashdot for doing the same.

    There is no attack, there is no "smear campaign", this is essentially just a group of people trying to get the word out to parents that it is possible to visit websites on the Wii, nothing more.

  11. Schools on NASA Commemorates Space Shuttle Tragedies · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Having gone to schools honoring two of these men (Roger Chaffee Elementary and Virgil Grissom High), I've had a deep respect for the Apollo 1 crew my entire life. (There is also an Ed White Middle, and all three are in Huntsville, AL)

  12. Re:Imagine... on Future Desks to Charge Gadgets Wirelessly · · Score: 1

    When devices stop using electricity, yes, you'll have to buy a new desk.

  13. Re:Need a Big-name label? on Download Only Song to Crack the Top 40 · · Score: 1

    "No - if you've got $25-$50K laying around to get a few thousand cd's printed" Or spend $20 for a domain name, some web hosting and a PayPal account.

  14. Rathole? on George Lucas To Quit Movie Business · · Score: 1

    Rathole? My home this is!

  15. Steam on Sony May Try To Stop PS3 Game Resales · · Score: 1

    I believe this myth has been debunked but nonetheless:

    This would work out in a very similar way to Valve's Steam. With Steam, you buy a license to play the game, a license that isn't transferrable. I've heard tons of complaints about Steam, but I don't think I've ever heard this one.

    Could the reason just be that the games currently on Steam are mostly all 'must-own' games with tons of replay value that people just have no interest in selling?

  16. Re:Retraction? on Slashback: Sony Blu-Ray, Phone Records, Korean Cloners · · Score: 1

    Well, it was stated that the quality of the Vaio playing the "Blu-Ray disc" appeared higher than the one playing the "standard DVD disc", so its pretty safe to assume that it was Blu-Ray (or near Blu-Ray) quality, only burned onto a DVD+R.

  17. Oblivion on Help for an MMORPG Addict? · · Score: 1

    Buy him Oblivion, worked for me.

    (Although its probably just a temporary fix ;) )

  18. Re:move along, nothing to see here.... on SOE Launches Planetside Fodder Program · · Score: 1

    I know very few games with a learning curve shorter than 10 minutes.

  19. Re:Charlies Angels?? on Christmas Shopping For A Gamer · · Score: 1

    Charlie's Angles not Angels.

    They are both all acute, however.

    *snicker*

  20. Amazing on Dystopia Mod Released for HL2 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This mod is amazing. The production values are on par with most (and above many) retail games. Looking forward to its full release.

  21. Re:porting on Quake 3: Arena Source GPL'ed · · Score: 1

    It's just the engine. You have to own Q3:A if you want to compile and run the original game in its entirety.

  22. Re:MSNBC Commentator is a jackass on Shuttle Discovery Lifts Off · · Score: 1

    One of the benefits of living in the same city as a major NASA center (Marshall) is that I get the NASA channel on my cable provider. No political junk mixed in with the launch, no side bars and scollers clogging up the view, and actual NASA announcers. I love it.

  23. Re:any more preview screenings in the US on Serenity to Premiere at Edinburgh Film Fest · · Score: 1

    If there are any more, they will also be sold out in 2.6 seconds.

  24. Re:How does Eps I-III Alter the Viewing of Eps IV- on Review: Star Wars Episode III · · Score: 1

    4-6 may follow Luke, but the series is a whole is about Anakin.

  25. Re:How does Eps I-III Alter the Viewing of Eps IV- on Review: Star Wars Episode III · · Score: 1

    The reasoning behind that was that Anakin died when he fell to the dark side.

    But didn't then again didn't he come back to the light side when he killed the emperor?

    Yah, he shouldn't have messed with that...
