  1. Re:One word: college on Study Says Massachusetts Best State For Technology · · Score: 1

    Ya, I noticed that just now; its one of those bizzare typos that just works so well that you don't notice it. It's worth the laugh though.

  2. Re:One word: college on Study Says Massachusetts Best State For Technology · · Score: 1

    True, but many do stay in MA afterwards. I can't say for sure about the technology feild, but this does happen in the medical feild (thus MA's high reputation for its doctors).

  3. One word: college on Study Says Massachusetts Best State For Technology · · Score: 5, Insightful

    With all those colleges in MA (including MIT), it's not surprising that it's the top state for technology. It's virtually a breading ground for it.

  4. Re:Can't personalize to the degree I want! on Google Offers Personalized Search · · Score: 1

    Personally, I'm a bit dissapointed I couldn't find Billiards under either Sports or Games (and, for your information, it should be under "sport").

  5. Needs Cookies? on Google Offers Personalized Search · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I have my browser set to reject cookies by default. This thing didn't work for me, so I'd assume they are requiring them to use it.

  6. Re:Definately the wrong answer... on PIRATE Act Introduced in Congress · · Score: 1

    Prison sentences for non-violent crimes seem like a bad idea from every angle I look at them.

    I'd agree with you if it wasn't for the existance of white collar crime. When a corporation steals millions from the American people, I think someone should be doing time for it.

  7. Re:What will happen to ./ !!! on What Would The World Be Like Without Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    I think ./ will be fine without MS. I still run my executables in Linux perfectly fine, and MS never touched them. ... Oh, you meant /. ;)

  8. Re:One thing's for sure on What Would The World Be Like Without Microsoft? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sure we would have things to rant about:
    - George Lucas messing up Star Wars
    - SCO
    - duplicate articles
    - the lack of an MS substitute to complain about

  9. Down And Out on What Would The World Be Like Without Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    Try reading Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom by Cory Doctorow. It should give some hint at least to what the world could be like without MS (ideally, that is).

  10. Slashdotted on A History of Every GUI Ever · · Score: 3, Informative

    Here's the Google cache.

  11. Re:Bah! on Brain Controlled Tightrope Video Game Shown · · Score: 1

    You should have started that with "I'm a scarecrow."

  12. Free-Speech Zones on New RFC Considers .sex TLD Dangerous · · Score: 5, Insightful

    While this seems to be a good idea in some ways, I can't help but be reminded of those "free speech zones" they command protesters to stay within if they want to protest something. After all, the entire country is supposed to be a free speech zone, and the entire internet is supposed to be open to any form of speech (that is, within reasonable limits).

  13. Obligatory /. reference on Do Videogames Need More Graphical Grit? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I'm surprised no one has yet said "Yes, they need more grit- in their pants." Take a bow Slashdot; you deserve one.

  14. Re:Come on, it's your turn! on Doom - The Board Game Announced · · Score: 1

    With the amount of power Doom 3 might require, some of us won't have the game going any faster on our computers.

  15. Eagle on On Gay Characters In Videogames · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Eagle from Capcom vs SNK 2 (who was a character in the original Street Fighter) came out of the closet in that game as an openly gay character. Many of his winning quotes in the Japanese version of the game show this. The American version, however, had the quotes changed to not show his sexuality.
