  1. Re:Not a troll, but a thought... on Sony's Official Statement Regarding PS3 Hacking · · Score: 2

    Don't they have a right to try and control what happens to their product?

    No. Fortunately for Sony, this is not about the product, but about infrastructure that they themselves own and operate.

    I bet the good senator has the wherewithal to at least start an investigation.

    Ah. I see you're part of the TL;DR generation. Sucks to be you, bubba.

    Indentured servitude. The bedrock upon which America was built.

    Did you somehow expect them not to do that, although they explicitly state they will, in their EULA?

  6. Re:Fast food on Scientists Work To Grow Meat In a Lab · · Score: 1

    I'm sure it is being researched, for efficiency reasons. However, muscle mass and muscle "definition" (read:texture) aren't one and the same, as any bodybuilder will be happy to explain to you in excruciating detail.

  7. Re:Fast food on Scientists Work To Grow Meat In a Lab · · Score: 2

    Rabbits, goats and sheep do stink up to high heaven. Other things are much more tolerable.
    Exercise is needed, indeed, for texture. So far it's been done as a combination of electroshock and (mild) mechanical stress.

  8. Re:*I* want control, screw you Sony on Sony Wants To Put Your Game Saves In the Cloud · · Score: 1

    Exactly. It's happened before with countless MMOs, will happen again. Eventually people will either get used to it or learn new ways. It's gonna take a while.

  9. Re:Just use English on Physicists Call For Alien Messaging Protocol · · Score: 1

    Did he offer his services as a guide/driver/interpreter as well? Did you accept? If so, it may be polite to write a letter of thanks to the Mukhabarat for extending you such a warm welcome.

  10. Re:In other news... on Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook Page Hacked · · Score: 1

    Irony and sarcasm really don't translate, do they?

  11. Re:Or was it a hole in a badly designed game? on Xbox Live Labels Autistic Boy "Cheater" · · Score: 1

    In this case, if I were the game designer I would have just quietly publicized the "bug". Then, everyone could have epic fleets in one turn. Problem solved.

  12. Re:Or was it a hole in a badly designed game? on Xbox Live Labels Autistic Boy "Cheater" · · Score: 1

    You can't call it a bug if everything is working as intended and all the players have access to the particular sequence of events so that game balance isn't broken.

    At most, you can call it a mis-feature and wipe it in the next iteration. Punishing people for being creative within the confines of the rules is just a dick move.

  13. Re:MOD PARENTS UP! on Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook Page Hacked · · Score: 1

    There's no indication that they accept bug reports, even. I sent three reports so far, didn't get as much as an auto-response. Also, you'd kinda expect them to set up a bug tracker if they really cared - given that most of their audience cares and knows enough to actually use it if it's there.

  14. Re:Needless Negativity on Ford Building Cars That Talk To Other Cars · · Score: 1

    It sure will be ubiquitous if the car manufacturers band together and lobby govt's to make it mandatory. Upgrading all those "legacy" cars would probably make a nice source of extra income.

  15. Re:Where's the new GPL code...? on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    It's not on git, but it's okay to say it, no-one can hear us in here :P

  16. Re:new layout on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    I tested. It turns out that the new slashdot doesn't show threads at all if they happen to hang off a low-rated parent post. Then I started bitching.

  17. Re:Stupid fixed-position crap on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    Don't call it a fix. It's a workaround for a misfeature.

    Where odd-ass is IE8.

    The update broke even the FF autologin. OpenID? You're dreaming.

    It's a fucking joke is what. I suppose you haven't tried viewing with IE, or clicking any link in your comment history or...

    Yes, yes. Think of my karma as "every ZIG". Then it will all make sense.

  23. Re:In other news... on Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook Page Hacked · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Think of it as burning karma for great justice. I'm sick of complaint departments that collect complaints and dump them and support e-mail addresses that don't support anything and free speech zones that aren't and generally of all the bullshit of manufacturing consent. I intend to be obnoxious in return.

    Despite this all-important milestone in our lives, the new /. still sucks.
