  1. Re:N? on What Are The Best Free Games Online? · · Score: 1

    I have that game, but can't get past level 3 or 4 or something. I just suck at Load Runner type games.

  2. Re:mangband? on What Are The Best Free Games Online? · · Score: 1

    Isn't that what a MUD is?

  3. Re:We musn't forget.. on Ten Strangely Cruel Science Experiments · · Score: 1

    The experiments obviously didn't "shock the conscious" of the experimenters, so they must not have been so bad. Right?

  4. Re:The Tuskagee Syphilis Study didn't make the cut on Ten Strangely Cruel Science Experiments · · Score: 1

    This may not have been cruel to those pretending to be shocked, but I certainly would not want to have been one of those told to administer the shocks, as I would doubtless have had trouble sleeping at night after if I had done so.

    I would love to be in that kind of study. If there was a (safe) way for me to be granted temporary amnesia so that my current knowledge of the experiments wouldn't mess with the results, I'd pay good money just to find out what I would do in that kind of situation.

  5. Re:It is called 'passing off'... on Wal-Mart's Terrible Nintendo Wii Knock-Offs · · Score: 1

    Nah, Nintendo should just stop selling its products through Wal-Mart.

  6. Re:Outrageous conclusion? on US Wants Courts to OK Warrantless Email Snooping · · Score: 1

    2) Cant decide whether waterboarding is torture

    Oh, for crying out loud, they have decided it. They just can't tell you because it would jeopardize National Security.

  7. Re:Just extrapolate on Joss Whedon Back on TV · · Score: 1

    Topics like this always make me remember this family guy bit.

  8. Re:The real reason they quashed it... on Colbert Ballot Bid Shot Down · · Score: 1, Redundant

    You do know Comedy Central is owned by Viacom, right?

  9. Re:Fun to be a public servant. on Schneier On the War On the Unexpected · · Score: 1

    Great, then the liberals will label you a fascist AND the conservatives will blame you when people die. Have fun!

  10. Re:High School Politics on Schneier On the War On the Unexpected · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of a scene in The Painted Bird where the novel's title stems from. This sicko entertains himself by capturing birds, painting them different colors, and then releasing them. When a painted bird tries to rejoin its flock, it gets pecked to death. Of course the whole deal is a metaphor for the main character (a human child.)

  12. Re:Not New on Game Reviews are Broken? · · Score: 1

    That's true, but the same goes for other forms of entertainment (music, tv, movies, etc) as well.

  13. Re:Not New on Game Reviews are Broken? · · Score: 1

    Generally speaking, video games don't score under 70 or so unless they're complete crap.

    According to the PC Gamer scale, 60-69 is "Above Average." 50-59 is "Merely Ok." So not complete crap by any stretch.

  14. Re:Webcomics vs. Porn Stars on Call For Halt To Wikipedia Webcomic Deletions · · Score: 1

    Dude, it's porn. How else do you think Wikiadmins spend their time between purges?

  15. Re:notability purges on mens rights issues on Call For Halt To Wikipedia Webcomic Deletions · · Score: 1

    More likely because it's a conflict of interest. You're not allowed to edit your own page, and you're not allowed to edit pages of organizations you're directly involved in. As for notability, after doing a Google search on MGTOW, I'd have to say that a large collection of websites that advocate turning women into little "happy homemakers" via "limited government" (really, they make that leap) isn't notable.

    Haven't googled it myself, but if it's true then some people may still be interested in knowing that 'MGTOW is a large collection of websites that advocate turning women into little "happy homemakers" via "limited government."'

  16. Re:Admins to blame? on Call For Halt To Wikipedia Webcomic Deletions · · Score: 1

    In the loooooooong term, humanity itself fails the "notability" requirement.

    Depends on whether or not it will (be allowed to) survive long enough to destroy the multiverse. I have no doubt that humans are capable of that, the question is time.

  17. Re:$10,000 on Slashdot Charity Buyers Donate Over $10,000 To the EFF · · Score: 1

    Alas, not anymore. R.I.P.

  18. Re:yep, 3 digit uids have no cachet on Slashdot Charity Buyers Donate Over $10,000 To the EFF · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sorry to break it to you, but the TOS clearly states that if you use the uid for scoring purposes, Cowboy Neal must be involved.

  19. Re:What I don't get... on FBI Accused of Abusing Criminal Database · · Score: 5, Funny

    Congress should stay out of it. A non-binding resolution saying that the FBI is not 100% correct would only enbolden the peace activists, and then where would we be?

  20. Re:Not so bright on Wikipedia Begets Veropedia · · Score: 1

    Maybe they're doing research to verify this page for the next addition?

  21. Re:It's this easy: on Wikipedia Begets Veropedia · · Score: 1

    Since when is wikiality not good enough to write about political people? Especially when you consider how most political people feel about the truth themselves.

  22. At least this isn't the UK on Terror Watch List Swells to More Than 755,000 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Otherwise all those people would be shot dead as soon as they tried to book a flight.

    Too bad you'll never get to see it, not even when they haul you off to Gitmo.

  24. Re:Smith on Humans Not Evolved for IT Security · · Score: 1

    That's right. To correctly estimate an IT risk you must have a squiglyspooch.

  25. Re:The Latest Bond Script on Storm Worm Strikes Back at Security Pros · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Because it's a Hollywood film?
