  1. Goldeneye 00 Heaven - Slappers only? on A Look At Successful Game Mods · · Score: 1

    Any chance it has the greatest combat mode ever?

  2. What happens when Windows users switch to Mac on 8 People Buy "I Am Rich" iPhone App For $1,000 · · Score: 1

    From TFA:

    "I saw this app with a few friends and we jokingly clicked 'buy' thinking it was a joke, to see what would happen. ... THIS IS NO JOKE...DO NOT BUY THIS APP AND APPLE PLEASE REMOVE THIS FROM THE APP STORE,"

    De-dah-dee

  3. Re:Well, you gotta hand it to the guy... on 8 People Buy "I Am Rich" iPhone App For $1,000 · · Score: 1

    but you have to agree with apple for yanking it.. No you don't, if the app's description is accurate (i.e. no fraud is being committed) then why should I not be able to purchase it?

  4. What about... on IBM Granted "Paper-or-Plastic?" Patent · · Score: 1

    Paper IN plastic? I'm going to beat big blue to the punch, patent pending.

  5. 250 GBs? on Comcast Floats a 250GB Monthly Bandwidth Limit · · Score: 3, Funny

    I've heard you get an angry phone call above 100gb and have kept track of my usage via NetLimiter to stay in or around that number, looks like its time to get seeding!

  6. I guess I'm showing my age... on Quickies — MIT's Intelligent Sticky Notes · · Score: 1

    When I was a kid a Quickie was something completely different, and they were readily available at BU, you'd get laughed out of the room and no one would believe you if you said you were going to get one at MIT.

  7. And now that Captcha has been cracked... on Google Crawls The Deep Web · · Score: 1

    ...Google will rule the world

  8. They may have banned Nerf GUNS... on Roleplayers Seek Removal of Nerf Gun Ban · · Score: 1

    ...but not Nerf CROTCHBAT!

    Hit 'em right in the zombie junk!

  9. Re:Well if anyone knows... on Microsoft Complains About Google's Monopoly Abuse · · Score: 1

    As I said, I don't think that we should allow a growing behemoth like Google to just wantonly buy companies and technologies without considering the risks to a free marketplace.
    And the limitations on growth would be set by the government, there for you must have a different definition of "free market" than the rest of us.

  10. This is... on Egypt to Copyright Pyramids and Sphynx · · Score: 5, Funny

    a total pyramid scheme...

  11. link to the actual article on Everyday Copyright Violations · · Score: 4, Informative

    Link in the story is a blog, here is the pdf that the blog links to: http://www.turnergreen.com/publications/Tehranian_Infringement_Nation.pdf

    As an earlier poster pointed out I found the caveman tattoo bit about destruction quite funny, was also shocked to hear that "Happy birthday to you" is still under copyright, according to wiki it will expire in 2030 in the United States.

  12. Just on general principle... on Law Firm Claims Copyright on View of HTML Source · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'd suggest that everyone click this link to an image that was commented out in the HTML source, as the hits to their server log will surely make them scratch their heads.

    http://www.cybertriallawyer.com/common/image3.jpg

  13. Re:I'm 'wget' - come arrest me! on Law Firm Claims Copyright on View of HTML Source · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the only time it's even been appropriate to link to Goatse in the ten year history of Slashdot. :D

  14. Re:using a trademark infringing a trademark on Google's Ban of an Anti-MoveOn.org Ad · · Score: 1

    From TFA:
    "The banned advertisements said, "Susan Collins is MoveOn's primary target. Learn how you can help" and "Help Susan Collins stand up to the MoveOn.org money machine.""

    3 out of 4 drinkers prefer Coke to [name removed due to trademark request].

  15. uh oh... on Adobe Confirms Unpatched PDF Backdoor · · Score: 1

    I hope TFA isn't a PDF. @_@

  16. party time? think again. on Slashdot Turns 10 But You Get The Presents · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Who wants to go to a party with no girls?

  17. Re:I seem to remember on Video Professor Sues 100 Anonymous Critics · · Score: 1

    >> Plus, if the customer is dumb enough to give them their credit card number for something they
    >> thought was free, they don't pass the "reasonible individual" test that litigation requires.

    I'd presume the guise they use to get your credit card info is for payment for the shipping and handling of the "free" first disc, then they charge that card for additional discs.

  18. What kind of poll... on Did We Really Need Seven New Wonders? · · Score: 4, Funny

    doesn't include a CowboyNeal option? Lame.

  19. Re:$1.2 BILLION!??!! What a crock! on NC Man Fined For Using Vegetable Oil As Fuel · · Score: 1

    A worth while quote for those asking why the government doesn't do more to lower gas prices, they are part of the reason the prices are so high in the first place.

  20. Re:No Goatse guy on Goatse.cx Is For Sale · · Score: 3, Funny

    I've heard site maintenance is a real pain in the ass.

  21. High School experiences with Bess on From Bess to Worse · · Score: 1

    I remember being assigned a project on the Kennedy Assassination freshman year in high school, you wouldn't believe what a pain in the ass it was trying to locate resources on the topic with Bess on our school's network. Eventually the librarian removed Bess for the rest of the class period as she was so frustrated with hearing complaints. Glad to see that to this day people still think protecting a minority from "harmful sites" is more important than the productivity of the majority.

  22. blah on Porn Industry May Not Decide Format War · · Score: 1

    Now imagine a beowulf cluster of HD-DVD porn...

    sorry, had to...

  23. Re:Just tune your FM radio to 87.9! on Howard Stern Coming To the Net · · Score: 1

    Welcome to satellite radios version of war driving. ;)

    One of my friends has XM and I Sirius, so on lunch we'll take turns searching for obsecure one-hit wonders, etc. and flip our dials to the other's service.

  24. Re:Warning to Red Sox fans... on Videogame Remake of 1986's World Series Game 6 · · Score: 1

    It doesn't hurt half as much as it used to after 2004. Recreations of Bucky fucking Dent or Pesky holding the ball in '46 might still hurt a bit though.

  25. Re:Buckner on Videogame Remake of 1986's World Series Game 6 · · Score: 1

    Not to mention Stanley didn't even cover first, even if Buckner had fielded it the runner still would have been safe and the inning would have continued with runners on first and third.
