  1. Re:parachutes? on Lost Beagle2 Probe Found 'Intact' On Mars · · Score: 1

    Isn't it normal for Slashdot users to keep their D outside the box?

  2. Re:notice-and-notice on Canadian Copyright Notice-and-Notice System: Citing False Legal information · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's short for "If you see it (notice) send a letter (notice)".

  3. Re:live by the sword on HOA Orders TARDIS Removed From In Front of Parrish Home · · Score: 1

    It's a good thing Americans revolted over that whole taxation without representation thing and completely removed it from their country for all time, never to be reinstated.

    Odin.

    At least get your fix right.

    Remind me, where was it they found the stash of WMDs in Iraq and how large was it?

  7. Re:Dude, wait... on Neil DeGrasse Tyson Explains His Christmas Tweet · · Score: 1

    You're confusing two things, here.

    Jesus, the man, the guy with a bunch of hippie ideas about everyone loving each other, MAY have existed around that time.

    Jesus, the son of God, that is more questionable from every verifiable point of view.

    Where I'm from it's called tongue-in-cheek humor.

  9. Re:Dude, wait... on Neil DeGrasse Tyson Explains His Christmas Tweet · · Score: 4, Funny

    Why are you blaming Neil?

    Blame Isaac for having the NERVE to be born on December 25th! After Jesus was (not) born on that date NO ONE ELSE should be born then!

  10. Re:Lesson goes unlearned on Sony PlayStation Network Back Up Now, Supposedly · · Score: 1

    Call Collect?

    The US SMS system? Technically not a call, but still communication over your phone.

    An argument could be made that half of your phone subscription payment is for the ability to receive calls.

    So like any election in the history of ever?

    So they can leave a voice mail along the lines of, "This is NAME at HOSPITAL, please call us at your earliest convenience as we have someone here who has listed you as a point of contact."

    Then when you get out of that long highway tunnel and can pull over you can check your voice mail and go to the hospital.

    You don't NEED to be instantly accessible, there is nothing wrong with being QUICKLY accessible.

  13. Re:Life form? on The Dominant Life Form In the Cosmos Is Probably Superintelligent Robots · · Score: 1

    Rabbits have internal information which under the right conditions can be used to form a new rabbit.

    So what, a neutered animal isn't life?

    Where does it say the kid is made to master every single game ever made?

    How about just TRYING a good bunch of the established classics as a kind of fast-forward through gaming history?

    I just hope he's spared Superman 64 ...

  20. Re:a fucking waste on Sony Hacks Continue: PlayStation Hit By Lizard Squad Attack · · Score: 1

    FF14 has actually gotten a lot better after the revamp, and it's on PC, PS3 and PS4 - which means odds are decent that the OP plays the PSN version instead of the PC version.

  21. Re:Support the developers! on Dragon Age: Inquisition Reviewed and Benchmarked · · Score: 1

    Yes they are.

    If Amicus chooses not to buy or play the game, he will tell his friends about this decision and why he did it, doing his best to make sure they follow in his footsteps.

    If Amicus chooses not to buy BUT play the game anyway, he will tell his friends that the game is actually rather awesome (if it is), and some of those friends may decide to buy it anyway because they don't have a beef with EA.

    Oh wait, was that not the end result we were supposed to reach?

  22. Re:Huh? What does this reveal? on Comcast Forgets To Delete Revealing Note From Blog Post · · Score: 2

    No, the note really does say, "To the best of our knowledge we aren't overlapping, but be prepared to change this text if a thorough examination of every square inch of the country reveals a single overlap."

  23. Re:Why on France Wants To Get Rid of Diesel Fuel · · Score: 1

    Sometimes it's really worth reading the comment another comment replies to before replying to that other comment yourself.

    That post talked about getting people to switch to a different engine, and while I admit I'm not a mechanic, I don't think you can just pull out the diesel engine in a car and install a petrol engine instead for anything resembling a reasonable price.

  24. Re:Why on France Wants To Get Rid of Diesel Fuel · · Score: 2

    Good luck convincing them to ditch the car they bought in 2013, which is rendered essentially worthless by these changes, and buying a new car with a different kind of engine in it.

    The salt is far more likely to kill you than the radiation.

    You can take away my salt when you pry it from my cold, dead, mutated hands.
