  1. Re:Shown Already? on Nintendo's Iwata Says Old Console Cycle Dead · · Score: 1

    in 6-7 years there will still be games being produced for the PS3...

    So that's when they plan to come out with PS3 games? (I kid, I kid!)

  2. My fake mustache on US Consumers Clueless About Online Tracking · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm so ahead of those trackers because I wear my fake mustache and glasses when I buy questionable things on the internets. And they say we're clueless!

  3. Delaying, not blocking my check? on Comcast Admits Delaying, Not Blocking, P2P Traffic · · Score: 1

    So I should be able to delay, but not block, my payment check to them?

  4. Re:Speaking of scrathed disks on Nintendo Cracks Down on Copying Devices · · Score: 3, Funny

    For the adult stuff my wife and I

    Your lucky... I wish my GF liked pr0n :(

  5. Re:Chasing users? on Nintendo Cracks Down on Copying Devices · · Score: 3, Interesting

    have means of identifying legitimate/illegitimate users

    I'm assuming sarcasm but I've always wondered what is legitimate with the DS. You can use R4 (and others like it) to play movies, read ebooks, listen to music, and play homebrew your DS. That's hours of entertainment without touching an illegal, downloaded ROM or altering your rig in anyway. The R4 isn't like plopping an EPROM in a console or rerouting wires since it doesn't alter anything the DS was sold as... not even the firmware.

    Then the step further, you can buy ROMs, dump them and, and put multiple games on your DS. Most would find the convenience in traveling without all the ROMs or the chance that your kid drops it down the air duct shaft. But is that legitimate to Nintendo? Seems the same as ripping my own CDs and putting them on my MP3 player.

  6. Pascal Cotte? on High-Res Scan of Mona Lisa Reveals Its History · · Score: 1

    It was written in Pascal? I knew the language was old but didn't realize it was /that/ old.

  7. Re:Behind quake? on Unreal Tournament 3 Beta Demo Now Out · · Score: 2, Informative

    CTF and Deathmatch is not getting boring for the majority

    Completely agree! I wish the TF2 believed the same. I don't mind the control maps but they should have had more CTF in my opinion and more than just six maps total. Looks like the mappers are already on the ball so that should fill out the lack.

  8. The Doctor? on Interpol Unscrambles Doctored Photo In Manhunt · · Score: 2, Funny
    See, I'm not a fan of the story arcs, "the Doctor is mistaken for a bad guy." For one, they never seem to go very far. Like that guy harassing Martha's mother in the middle of season three? I thought that was going to go somewhere and...

    Oh wait, this isn't about Doctor Who... never mind.

  9. Re:Pear's headquaters on James Randi Posts $1M Award On Speaker Cables · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Is their back yard littered with empty power cable spools and spray paint cans? Just wonder'n.

  10. Political or military names on George Takei Now an Asteroid · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...it [IAU] warns would-be namers to avoid anything "in questionable taste" and any names honoring political or military figures sooner than 100 years after their deaths.

    Well that odd. I have nothing against George and I'm fan of most of the recipients listed. But it seems out of perspective to honor actors hundreds of years earlier than people who accomplish such monumental, world changing achievements. "Here's a guy who died to take out a bunker so that others can free France. Oohh, No wait, here's an actor!"

  11. Re:I've got a theory... on Excel 2007 Multiplication Bug · · Score: 1

    wizards?

  12. Can someone dup this June 2008? on Do Not Call Listings to Expire in 2008 · · Score: 1

    Can someone dup this in June 2008? kthx!

  13. Joking is a crime on MIT Student Arrested For Wearing 'Tech Art' Shirt At Airport · · Score: 1

    AFAIK, it's a crime to even joke that you have a bomb or other explosive. It's been around since before 9/11 and Bush. If that's the case then, no matter what I think it looks like, it probably looks like a bomb to a lot of people.

  14. Re:Oboe on Pitch Perception Skewed By Modern Tuning · · Score: 1
    "You know how to get two oboes to play in tune, don't you?"

    "Kill one of 'em?" is the only thing that comes to mind. (not that I'm advocating Oboest-icide)

  15. Re:What do I win? on Wikileaks Breaks $3 Billion Corruption Story · · Score: 1

    ah, yeah... that's the pic I was talking about in the first place.

  16. Re:I can' wait... on Wikileaks Breaks $3 Billion Corruption Story · · Score: 1
    Bonus points for pic with Bush!

    Even though Bush doesn't appear anywhere in the article, they have to some how connect the two? I can hear the article submitters not "Don't we have a pic of both of them in front of a Haliburton sign?" Seriously, you don't have to be a GW fan to realize that this kind of goofy crap hinders the cred.

  17. Re:No. on Videogames Make Better Horror Than Movies? · · Score: 1

    In Half Life 2, the noise those poisonous black spiders always scared the be-jebus out of me.

  18. Re:Absolutely. on Videogames Make Better Horror Than Movies? · · Score: 2, Funny

    You could have at least put a M rating or warning on this post! Now who's gonna rock me to sleep tonight??!?

  19. Re:Schumer's a camera whore on U.S. Attorney General Resigns · · Score: 1

    Seriously... having his quote in the summary is as useful as hearing what Michael Moore or Ann Coulter has to say about the subject.

  20. Re:Soap is for pussies on Anti-Bacterial Soap No Better Than Plain Soap · · Score: 1

    I just drink a lot of alcohol and kill the buggers from the inside out. When traveling overseas, it always seemed like the drinkers survived while the non-drinkers came down with some stomach illness.

  21. Re:Now is the chance on Music DRM in Critical Condition? · · Score: 1

    Universal bribed radio stations to play songs from Ashlee Simpson, Brian McKnight, Big Tymers, Lindsay Lohan

    Hanging's too good for them. Given this fact alone... if I were to guess which circle of hell they would end up in, it would think the eighth - guilty of deliberate and knowing evil.

  22. Re:Being cool doesn't work either. on Winnie Wrote a Math Book · · Score: 1

    Every time any adult tries to be cool in order to get kids to pay attention to a subject in school that they hate, they fail miserably.

    Sentences with absolute statements like 'every time', 'always' or 'never' are always wrong.

  23. What if a cashier messes up? on Our ATM Is Broken, Go To Jail · · Score: 3, Insightful
    A mini - Ask Slashdot and way more likely. :

    Your groceries come to $7 something, you hand her a $10, she gives you $12 something (ie. change for a $20). What do you do? I've seen two reactions to this: what I've seen my parents' do... I tell her I only gave her a $10 and worked it out. Did that in front of a friend and no amount of reasoning seems to stop his whining:

    him: "You idiot! You could have had $10 bucks."
    me: "It's not screwing the man... she's responsible for her till."
    him: "It's like she dropped it on the street and you found it."
    me: "Not even close... it's like I SAW her drop it and have the chance to return it."
    Aannnnd... end scene. I seriously could not understand his reasoning and he couldn't understand mine.

    Although, I have to admit, if something rings up lower than it's real price and the cashier wont get screwed, I'll probably not say anything.

    Anyone else?

  24. Semicolons... on Change Google's Background Color To Save Energy? · · Score: 1

    Good luck with such a radical change... I tried to get my company to stop wasting money in our documentation by using semicolons instead of full colons but no one would listen. [yeah... I got that from Dilbert].

    A-Wah? E-Meter? I've heard those Scientologists have some whacked ideas but this is going too far!
