  1. Re:Huh? rpm, deb, rh, suse, etc, etc. on Windows Beat Unix, But it Won't Beat Linux · · Score: 1

    Slackware tends to work the same way, although i kinda treat my slackware box like a Gentoo one...but it generally tolerates standard sources better than RPM or DEB based binary distros.

  2. Re:lol mod parent up hypocrites on Windows Beat Unix, But it Won't Beat Linux · · Score: 1

    Actually that is a standard troll. I've seen that exact copy-paste comment at least 3 times on slashdot now...

  3. Re:DS Comparison? on GBA SP Updated with Brighter Backlit Screen · · Score: 1

    Ohh...i get it now. Apologies for the flame, i read it wrong.

  4. Re:DS Comparison? on GBA SP Updated with Brighter Backlit Screen · · Score: 1

    Because 15 years of market dominance is driven by hundreds and hundreds of crappy games, right? I mean, it was that sweet dot-matrix display that drove the original gameboy into our hearts and road trips...

    ogg != linux

  6. Re:Inner workings of a computer on Learning to Code with a Boardgame · · Score: 0, Redundant

    First off, the summary (didn't RTFA) never said they were forced to play. Second of all, it's a hell of a lot more usefull than some of the crap i learned in grammer school.

  7. Re:Yeah.... on Learning to Code with a Boardgame · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Tell me why not?

  8. Re:No reason? I think not. on Opera Free as in Beer · · Score: 1

    wow, what a shitty analogy. firefox is not the press, it's the moveable type in the press.

  9. Re:The method doesn't matter, as long as the answe on Trigonometry Redefined without Sines And Cosines · · Score: 1

    ok, tan(88.63607247deg)=42...ya happy now, dr precision?

  10. Re:If that's failure sign me up on Plotting the Revolution's Arc · · Score: 1

    And hey...the different also happens to be the cheapest! we win!

  11. Re:Argh, my wrists! on Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed · · Score: 1

    I actually like the texture of the dual shock stick better than the n64 one. Feels better on my thumb...i agree about the guide indentations though

  12. Re:standards... on Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed · · Score: 1

    Sim-ant too

  13. Re:Two Words.... Light Saber on Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    better than a collapsable stock, how about a full size rifle with a slot to stick the controller into, connecting to the "Numchuck" port.

  14. Re:Two Words.... Light Saber on Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed · · Score: 1

    although the wavebird was not a wifi controller, it is technically possible to put an embedded processor a controller with a real wifi stack. It would be very expensive, and a bad idea, but it's possible.

  15. Re:5 1/2" floppy on How Do You Use Your Spare Drive Bays? · · Score: 1

    Are you 12? The 5 1/2 inch floppy was incredibly small compared to the old 8 inchers, and there were bigger ones before that.

  16. Re:iPod durability on Ars Technica's iPod nano Dissection · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Read the article, they ran over the friggin thing with a car. It's durable.

  17. Re:Shouldn't it be earliest found cocktail on First Cocktail 5,000 Years Old · · Score: 1

    earliest cocktail: 5am. i don't know how i'd get to work without it!

    Ah, that is where you are wrong. Real men drink Cisco Red

    but you'd only need to do it once...

  20. Re:Tetris Attack on Playing all that Bejeweled Pays Off · · Score: 1

    Tetris attack is one of the greatest puzzle games of all time, in fact Meteos draws a lot of inspiration from it. I don't believe it has the "cult" status that you think it does though, anyone worth their salt in the puzzle genre has heard of it.

  21. Re:Beginning of a B-Movie? on UK Scientists to Create Embryo From Two Women · · Score: 1

    Ah yes, life the STD

    Sexually transmitted, and always fatal.

  22. Re:To heck with hot coffee, fix the controls! on GTA: San Andreas to be Re-Released Next Week · · Score: 1

    Hell, the Xbox controller IS usb (just a different shape port), it'd probably be real easy to hack on a usb plug with about 5 minutes and some electrical tape (or solder if you wanna do it right).

  23. Re:Two way communication? on Logitech Unveils Smart Mouse · · Score: 0

    Quit eating cheetos at your computer, grease problem solved.
