  1. Had something like this in the UK on TeacherReviews.com Forced Offline · · Score: 0

    The site FriendsReunited had to start moderating comments after people started using it to accuse old school teachers of being paedophiles

  2. Slashdot back up now? on What The Internet Isn't · · Score: 0

    That'll teach Taco to open ParisHilton.exe attachments

  3. What? No award for Derek Smart? on DIY Game's Indie GOTY Awards · · Score: -1, Troll

    Wheres the Bullshit of the Year category?

  4. I have solution, I are genius on Nasa Says 'no' to Hubble Reprieve · · Score: 1

    Pay for the Hubble funding by making the ISS into a data haven

  5. Let Hubble rot on Nasa Says 'no' to Hubble Reprieve · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why should tax-payers money support something named after a crap author and the founder of the $cientologists?

  6. Create content for themselves? on Stanford Conference Puts Games Under Spotlight · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Why not. Players already create the victory condition and "social"(as opposed to fixed) rules for themselves, as a series of goals, even if the ones they create are exactly the same as the developers intended. Don't believe me? Go and play Battlefield 1942. The guy blowing up the planes as they spawn? That's his goal, and it's as fulfilling to him as capping a spawn point is to you. The "social" rule against laming isn't part of the game he's playing, and neither are the positive scores on the scoreboard.
    Look at the various challenges CRPG players come up with-soloing, no class x, complete game below minimum level-those rules are as real in their game as anything in the code. Look at powergamers-to them, victory isn't killing the end boss, it's the finalisation of their perfect character. Killing the boss is merely vindication of their planning

  7. Hah, I'm Safe! on Nokia Admits Multiple Bluetooth Security Holes · · Score: 2, Funny

    Who'd want to hack an N-Gage?

  8. Been doing this for a while on Online Search Engines Lift Cover Of Privacy · · Score: 1, Funny

    I've noticed the worst sites, security wise, are American universities and British hospitals. Greatest thing found has to be the admin username/password for a company specializing in secure web design

  9. Before the idea of dark matter was put forward on What If Dark Matter Really Doesn't Exist? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wasn't the missing mass accounted for with Dyson spheres?

  10. Re:Dust on What If Dark Matter Really Doesn't Exist? · · Score: 1, Funny

    In Britain it's called His Dark Materials. Our supply of asterisks dissapeared along with our dentists

  11. Half Life on Good Online FPS Games/Servers For Beginners? · · Score: 0

    It's about $10 now, and there's a huge selection of modes. I'd recommend Natural Selection. Regardless of what game or modyou choose, server wise, if you want a good selection you'll have to shell out for TASE(the All Seeing Eye), but once you've got that finding a server with x ping, y players and cheat protection should be a piece of piss

  12. Not new on Learn How to Program Using Any Web Browser · · Score: 0

    IGN and Bioware have been using this technique to teach C++(for NWN scripting) for 3 years now

  13. Re:Wow... on Nokia Takes Control of Symbian · · Score: 0

    Someone actually bought an N-Gage?

  14. A question on Ask Indian Techies About 'Onshore Insourcing' · · Score: 0

    Despite the uptake of IT in the developing world, why do you think the entertainment software industry is almost exclusively a American and European industry?

  15. Gay Jesus wants YOU! on Nokia Takes Control of Symbian · · Score: -1, Troll

    7. He wore robes
    8. He had long hair
    9. He kissed Judas Iscariot
    10. He never got married or had sex with a woman

    Jesus=blatant homosexual

    Jesus=predatory gay paedophile

  16. A question on Mozilla Firebird gets .8 Release, and New Name · · Score: 0, Troll

    I use Mozilla, but there's 2 areas where IE seems to have the edge-it takes less system resources, and it has a history you can actually use. Does Firebird/fox/thingy fix these problems?

  17. American beer pictures indistinguishable on A Microbe's-Eye View of Beer · · Score: 4, Funny

  18. I thought it was caused more by social conditions on Scientists Determine Structure of 1918 Flu Virus · · Score: 4, Interesting

  19. Re:Penis enlargement blog on California Man Sues Penis-Enlargment Firms · · Score: 5, Informative
