  1. We need to torch Botnet creators on Is the Botnet Battle Already Lost? · · Score: 1

    We need to figure out the protocols botnets use, crack them to destroy themselves and reveal the owner, then torch the owner's house. Then we torch the owner. And then we sue the family for damages, including the cost of the blowtorch. Yes, I'm kidding, I just wanna see one of those charts for this solution.

    SGML is horrible for mobile devices. XML is much easier to parse, and it's basically as easy to parse as possible without breaking SGML compatibility.

    It's not supported by Microsoft, which unfortunately matters in the minds of a few insane fanboys.

    I was referring to the strategy as a way of avoiding the tolls if they were placed into effect only during peak hours.

    I think it was made free around the time the Windows programmers invented activation. Windows 2000 also still lacks activation.

    Well then, I guess it's a good thing that Hammer and Stern are waging a campaign against actual sci-fi on the channel with things like the Dresden Files and ECW!

    Autism doesn't make one like O'Reilly. You're thinking of stupidity.

    Neurological and psychological problems exist despite how much denialists would like to pretend that everybody is a perfect person, they're not.

    If Occam were alive today he'd use a one-blade razor instead of these five-bladed razors we see today.

    The 'pirate hypothesis' was invented as a parody of a group(creationists) that doesn't accept logic. What makes you think logic is going to destroy the pirate hypothesis?

    Correlation with affluence. Richer places generally got cable TV first.

    Remember how the PS2 was to have graphics like Toy Story, but in real time?
    That was the XBox, not the PS2.

    As a woman on slashdot, have you ever been proposed to in a Slashdot discussion?

    I didn't know that. Unfortunately, considering that DeLay managed to not get prosecuted for his crime which undermines the democratic system, Foley's going to get off scot-free for his crime which, although just as bad, barely affects his job performance and affects everybody else's much less.

    How about Rankine?

  17. Re:Next-gen FPS's on Games Already Filling Blu-Ray Discs · · Score: 1

    That only sounds right when your only experience is something like Doom 3, which was just a technology preview anyways. Try Half-Life 2, it tends to not be as dimly lit.

    I'm more turned on by that than by Zelda 16.

  19. Re:Cut Scenes on Games Already Filling Blu-Ray Discs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I wish more games would do things the way the old Command and Conquer games(up to RA2) did things--with real actors. Tiberian Sun even had James Earl Jones.

  20. Re:Something's law on Games Already Filling Blu-Ray Discs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I had an order of magnitude more fun with Half-Life 2 than Half-Life 1. Guess which one had a bigger graphics budget. Sure, HL2 would still be fun even if it didn't have the awesome graphics(gravity guns for the win) but your statement rings of argumentatum ad foeditatem.(argument towards ugliness)

    Or they could get up earlier and avoid the toll. If the person can't do either thing, they should look for a new job.

    And yet when the same thing happens with Zelda you obsess over how cool it is.

    Sony is the only one putting tools in the hands of the masses. Sony is going to have Linux on their consoles and Nintendo isn't. This means that it will be easier for just about anybody with the console to develop for the PS3 but you'll need to buy a horribly expensive devkit to develop for the Wii. But I don't plan on buying any consoles in the next decade(my last console was a PS1, I do all my gaming on the PC now) so my opinion doesn't really matter here.

    Visual Studio costed money for a long time while Windows was the dominant player.

    Even when you're looking for it you can rarely find Asperger's Syndrome until age six.
