  1. compromise on Opera Proposes Switching Browser Scrolling For 'Pages' · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I like the "Pages" part, but I don't like the "ads" part. Lets compromise: No pages, no ads. Great!

  2. Subjective game... on Video Game Playing Increases Food Intake In Teens · · Score: 1

    It must truly depend on the game. In FIFA 09 you can surely go for a sandwich before issuing that free-kick? Or get some chips in half-time? In other games this often isn't the case. After playing some World of Warcraft one could be starving, yet go on for another hour easily.

  3. GZ on Happy 80th Birthday, William Shatner! · · Score: 1

    Congrats Kirk and congrats me! XD

  4. Re:Competition! on HTC Invests $40 Million In OnLive · · Score: 1

    Yes, but OnLive could surely use a lot of more servers (world wide). I tried some demos, with a 100/100mbit optical fibre connection over here in Sweden the latency was unbearable, not to be unexpected as they only have servers situated in the U.S. amirite?

  5. Try Magicka on The Rise and Fall of Graphic Adventure Games · · Score: 1

    Magicka is a new adventure game that is quite original. If you don't know what it is, check the video "WTF is Magicka?" by Totalbiscuit/Halibut(?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_XP9OBWGKo The only negative thing right now is that there are quite a few bugs in the game, but the devs are on it.

  6. Re on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    Nothing wrong with the looks per-say (as others have said, too much spaces... of whiteness... whitespaces, yeah), but it's definitely sluggish. It's choppy to browse comments, and I'm on my stationary gaming PC running Chrome!

  7. Re:Didn't do the math on Amazon, Not Developers, Will Set New App Store's Prices · · Score: 2

    They don't even have to reject it, they can just set the retail price to $2,000,000,000. Granted, it wouldn't sell, but still.

  8. ./'d on Playmate Photo From Apollo 12 Up For Auction · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or did this link to pixelated nudity get slashdotted much faster than the usual links?

  9. Re:How does this happen? on NASA Names Best & Worst Sci-Fi Movies of All Time · · Score: 0

    Sometimes, drinking coffee and looking at pretty pictures all day can get awfully boring!

  10. RE: on Can Movies Inspire Kids To Be Future Scientists? · · Score: 1

    They sure worked on me. I wanna be either a sci-fi actor or a scientist.

  11. Re:are we in for $30+ adapters to use usb e-net dv on New MacBook Pros To Sport Light Peak Technology · · Score: 1

    Or you could have 1 universal adapter with all those ports connected to a single Light Peak port.

  12. Re:Just to pre-empt it... on The Strange Case of Solar Flares and Radioactive Decay Rates · · Score: 1

    There's only one way to find out. We have to predict a solar flare, and travel through the gate at that exact time in order to go back 6000 years in time.

  13. Thin sails on Japan To Launch Solar Sail Spacecraft "Ikaros" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The spacecraft's 46-foot-wide sails are thinner than a human hair and lined with thin-film solar panels.

    Won't that easily break if something even touches it? (lots of space rock going a few km/s out there, or am i totally off?)

  14. Not bulletproof. on Scientists Turn T-Shirts Into Body Armor · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yet TFA says nothing about this armor being bullet-proof, as this slashdot article clearly states.

    Only that “We should be able to fabricate much tougher body armors using this new technique. It could even be used to produce lightweight, fuel-efficient cars and aircrafts.”

  15. The sad thing is on iCade, an Arcade Cabinet Docking Bay For Your iPad · · Score: 1, Funny

    I really want one.

  16. Re:The problem is time on SETI Is 50 Years Old; No Sign of ET · · Score: 0

    What if we blow up the sun? Would that send them a clear enough message?
    http://www.bash.org/?744067

  17. I have a suggestion on Professors Banning Laptops In the Lecture Hall · · Score: 0

    Why don't they just make sure the students can't get a wireless connection in the class rooms? Shouldn't be too hard, I heard there are wallpapers that can do that these days.

  18. So what if there's no life there on Saturn Moon Could Be Hospitable To Life · · Score: 0

    Who cares if life exists or not, I wanna live there!

  19. Re:You've raised $130 out of $7500 on FOSS CAD and 3D Modeling Software? · · Score: 0

    What website?

  20. I for one.. on Artwork Re-Sells Itself Weekly On eBay · · Score: 0

    Welcome our new supreme cube overlord.

    I can see this cube being owned by some famous people in the future, making it very special to own yourself, sky-rocketing the price.

  21. A certain fly comes to mind.. on James Cameron On How Avatar Technology Could Keep Actors Young · · Score: 0

    Maybe they can finally continue FireFly. No need for actors any more!

  22. Re:Bad Advice on Should Gaming Worlds Join the Workplace? · · Score: 0

    Well then, I'll just put my CS (note: not computer science) skillz on my resume. Seeing as alot of it takes places at a LAN, the interaction isn't 100% ingame. Also, leading a successful cs-team is quite the feat, there's alot of teamwork going on there.

  23. Re:yes on Does a Lame E-Mail Address Really Matter? · · Score: 0

    Which is precisely the reason I have an extra email to use in my CV, or anything else that is of greater importance than the slashdot newsletter. But I still use my hotmail for everything else.

  24. Re:Old on New WoW Patch Brings Cross-Server Instances · · Score: 0

    Well... there's this HDR-mod you can try. It definitely doesn't help with multicore support, or fps for that matter. But it looks pretty cool.
