  1. Re:A name for PETA on PETA Wants To Sue Anonymous HuffPo Commenters · · Score: 1

    The sign outside saying "Sausage & Glue Factory" should be a clue. :^)

    It was +1 Droll, Troll. (not being personal with that, it's the current rating of your post, and I Iiked the rhyme.)

    I've always thought that, too. Now, go ahead and mark me OT or irrelevant :)

  4. Re:Where have I heard this before? on Blizzard's Unannounced 'Titan' MMO Rebooted, Development Team Reduced · · Score: 1

    It was a dog. Got a couple of hours of gameplay before I tossed it.

  5. How is this new, Slashdot? on Google Rolling Out Gmail Redesign · · Score: 1

    They've been badgering me for ages to go for a new look, and the separated priority and normal email was around for quite a while before that. It's only mediocre at separating them, IMO.

  6. If you lie... on Criminal Complaint Filed Against Facebook After Girl's Death · · Score: 1

    When you sign the contract and say you are 18 or over, does that not breach the contract, implied or otherwise?

  7. Re:What's worse on Eric Schmidt: Teens' Mistakes Will Never Go Away · · Score: 1

    Heh. My non de plume, Meski is an anagram of Mike S - the S being Smith. Possibly, the Meski is a more unique id than my name. Bad move, that.

    You think he'd want to employ attorneys? Everything he said pointed to employing tekkies. Nerds might have borderline Aspergers, and yes, I know that's a cliche.

    Will we see the rise of companies that will put up a clean vanilla social media presence for one, and maintain it? A lack of presence may indicate that you're just hiding it under another name.

    To fix his plumbing, in a euphemistic way, I guess.

    You probably wouldn't like it if they sent a ficticious list that included illegal pron. Mud sticks, even when proven false after.

  13. Re:It's started... on DHS Shuts Down Dwolla Payments To and From Mt. Gox · · Score: 1

    Susan's still busily selling gold in /2 on Wow. I suppose that means "she's" succeeding, with some players, despite it being against TOS.

    Sooner be playing it live. Online seems ... boring, kind of like gaming machines.

    If you pay taxes on winnings, can you use losses as a deduction?

    How about yelling "fire" in a theatre showing "The Inferno" ?

  17. Re:Wow... on Windows Blue Is Officially Windows 8.1, Free For Existing Users · · Score: 1

    I'd still wait for Windows 8.11 for workgroups. Maybe they'll add a proper command line and support x forwarding natively. Windows for Whorehouses.

    Fixed.

    If you want to consider how the engineers inside Microsoft think of the code base,

    They'd need to have their sense of smell removed, for one.

    You did before. But they called it 'activation' then.

  20. Re: every time i see "Ender's Game" on Ender's Game Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    ANother for my list. Good thing I've (nearly[1]) stopped buying dead-tree books, I'm totally out of shelf space.

    [1] except for some limiteds from Subterranean Press, and Charnel House.

  21. Re:Company vs. person on Ender's Game Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    Can't go to a Cruise film without seeing him jumping on whats-her-name's couch. Which would be fine, if he did comedies.

    Sounds like you've been reading some unedited kindle stories :) There's the odd diamond there, but some of them make me want to rub my eyes with steel wool.

  23. Re: every time i see "Ender's Game" on Ender's Game Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    I'll add it to my list. Donaldson i've had mixed luck with, I've liked his short stories, Mordant's Need, and some others, but was pissed off with Thomas Covenant.

  24. Re:every time i see "Ender's Game" on Ender's Game Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    It's got better credentials than the usual Hollywood pulp. Which seems to consist of "buy a SF title, and put a totally unrelated story/plotline inside". I could be wrong, they may have done this here too. In line with /. rules, I didn't watch the trailer before posting this, so I wouldn't know.

  25. Re:$200K ... Uh Oh. on Richard Branson Plans Orbital Spaceships For Virgin Galactic · · Score: 1

    Virgin food's extra unless it's Biz class. Hate to imagine what that would end up costing, if 200k was cattle-class.
