  1. Re:The biggest can of worms in the world on Blackboxvoting.org Raises Vote-Audit FOIA Request · · Score: 2, Insightful
    They don't need to count 110+ million ballots. There is no point in auditing a state like Oklahoma that went heavily for Bush. The audits only need to be performed in the closely contested states. A considerably smaller task (but still pretty big).

    My concern is that the FOIA requests will be blocked , delayed, and otherwise contested to the point that by the time the information is finally released, it will be 2007 anyway.

  2. Re:In case of Slashdotting-Article Text on Venus Transit Finished · · Score: 2, Funny

    The event begins with rectum I...

    I don't know, this sounds more like the transit of Uranus.

  3. Tomorrow... on Aiming For Hit Games, Movie Licenses Come Up Short · · Score: 3, Funny

    We get the sister article, "Aiming for hit movies, game licenses come up short"

  4. Worthless comparison on Unlike Movie-Goers, Gamers Love Sequels? · · Score: 5, Insightful
    From the article:
    It would appear that the relatively small game development houses know something that the film industry giants don't.

    ...

    The Hollywood behemoths can't compete with the gaming company guerrillas because they've forgotten who pays their bills. Fans get a nod at test screenings, but the movie already has been made. The most that's going to happen is a new edit.

    Is the author honestly suggesting that movies be made with the same degree of consumer feedback as games? Movies are bad enough when the script has passed through five sets of hands who all think they know best. How could 500 or 5000 possibly be better?

    The author misses the point that the vast majority of community feedback on games is about gameplay, not plot or character development. I doubt many people on the WoW boards are upset because the Horde backstory isn't fleshed out enough.

    5. The PS2's start button is much easier to find

  8. Re:Rant: annoying sexism on New Battlestar Galactica Series Greenlighted · · Score: 1

    What really bugged me was that since the Cylon chick's spine glowed red when she got "hot", our intrepid programmer hero could never be allowed to do her doggy style.

  9. Re:Not sure how accurate that is on GTA Violence, the Media, and the Gamers · · Score: 1

    Actually, in "Me, Myself, and Irene", Jim Carrey breastfeeds from a woman. I don't remember what that movie was rated, but it certainly wasn't NC-17.

    The sucking was played for comic effect (it was, in fact, maybe the only funny scene in the movie), so that might have had something to do with it.

  10. Re:Nearly impossible? on Security Predictions of 2004 · · Score: 4, Funny

    I got a random punctuation spam the other day. One line read like this: Guar,anteed 1.00% effecti;ve! Needless to say, my confidence in the product was not very high
