  1. Re:They're insane. on Vital Parts of Games As DLC? · · Score: 1

    Don't joke, man! Someone will take this seriously, and it'll be law one day.

  2. Call of Duty 4½. Scratch that, Call of Duty 3 on Activision On Iterating, Innovating Call Of Duty Series · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I lost any and all interest in Call of Duty 3½ as soon as Activision happily announced that the next iteration in the Call of Duty series would take place during World War II.

  3. Re:Hrm on Study Finds iPhone Twice As Reliable As BlackBerry · · Score: 2, Funny

    I wonder if this also takes into account how many iPhones are sent back to Apple for some type of repair. Seems like a poorly done study.

    Exactly. This study's findings are applicable only to people who have SquareTrade warranties--but I'm sure diehard Apple fans will point to this study as more proof that the iPhone is the best thing since sliced shit.

    (Disclaimer: I own a MacBook.)

  4. Re:More than Two words on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 1

    Ron Paul.

  5. Re:Who remembers... on Stretchable, Flexible, Transparent Nanotube Speakers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Who remembers the self-drying, speaking jacket in Back to the future II?

    Come on, this is Slashdot, man. The right question is, who doesn't?

  6. Re:Fist Prose on President Signs Law Creating Copyright Czar · · Score: 5, Funny

    What countries should I consider moving to?

    Ones that don't have extradition agreements with the United States.

  7. Re:Actually, I think it is possible, here's why: on Can Static Electricity Generate Votes? · · Score: 1

    It goes to show that static electricity CAN throw a switch though.

    And it's just coincidence that in this case the "switch" was thrown 1500 times, right?

  8. Re:fp on India Launches Open Source Drug Discovery · · Score: 4, Funny

    Hopefully OSSD will soon find a cure for braindead first posts . . . .

  9. Re:Erm isnt Chrome built on WebKit? on CodeWeavers Package Google Chrome For Linux and Mac · · Score: 1

    Apple-Google Funtown?

  10. Re:Legal consequence? on 4,000 Anti-Scientology Videos Yanked From YouTube · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If the information is false then potentially it could be regarded as perjury.

    Not with the amount of money they have. . .

  11. Re:Complete nonsense on 42% of Web Users Sneak Onto Others' Online Accounts · · Score: 2, Funny

    How does this tripe pass the test to be posted on slashdot, and not in the idle section?

    But, but, but, Slashdot is one big idle section! People have been wasting their time here for ten years!

  12. Re:Finish the other one first! on Strong Bad Episode 1 Hits the WiiWare Shop · · Score: 1

    They should concentrate their efforts on the other H*R game.

    Though Homestar Runner RPG had the blessing of The Bros. Chaps, it was being developed by a third party, a Mr. Paul Slocum. It doesn't seem that The Bros. Chaps had the same level of involvement, if any, that they have in Strong Bad's Cool Game. . . , so go and complain to Slocum. (Though that'd be a colossal dick move on your part.)

  13. Re:Oh, god, no... on Yahoo Ends Talks With Microsoft, Embraces Google Instead · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Please, Google, don't incorporate anything from Yahoo. Please. I'm beggin' you.
    Flickr? Del.icio.us?
  14. Re:Wish Apple Would Fix it on PayPal Denies It Will Block Safari · · Score: 1

    View menu - Show Status Bar.
    Or hit Cmd+/ on your keyboard.
  15. Not exactly... on Microsoft Developing News Sorting Based On Political Bias · · Score: 3, Insightful

    BLEWS also offers a "see the view from the other side" functionality, enabling a reader to compare different views on the same story from different sides of the political spectrum.
    In reality, most people will use this tool as a quick way to avoid articles they don't want to read. "Opposing/Differing viewpoint? Screw that, moving on!"
  16. Form factor? on Cyber-Goggles Record and Identify Every Object You See · · Score: 1

    Will we all look like this when we wear these goggles?

  17. Re:On a surface? on IBM Measures Force Required To Move Atoms · · Score: 2, Informative

    Wouldn't that surface be made of, ummmm, atoms?
    I doubt yo have or will RTFA or WTFV, so I'll answer: The surface in the experiment was crystalline .
  18. Re:Downgrade??? on Microsoft Responds to 'Save XP' Petition · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If they stop offering XP, then people may choose to use Linux or macs, and in the end MS may end up losing money.
    Don't count on it.
  19. Re:Free Speech Areas on Colleges Being Remade Into "Repress U"? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Agreed. This is one area where it's an advantage to attend a state university than a private one... public universities have to afford you the Bill of Rights.
    That's news to me. FSU's got "free speech zones." Maybe you could come and explain to them that they're not allowed to do this?
  20. Re:Old News on The Arctic Doomsday Seed Vault · · Score: 2, Informative

    But as a poster above pointed out, this story has been on Slashdot twice already.

  21. Re:Oh god on New Ghostbusters Video Game in the Works · · Score: 1

    So what if it did? Who ya gonna call?!
    Call Courtesy!!

  24. Re:microsoft too on MPAA Chases Uploads, Ignores Open Sales of DVD-Rs? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, well I've got a pirated version of a shotgun, and it's dying to have a chat with any and all Clippies.
