  1. Re:DP on Don't Copy That Floppy! Gets a Sequel · · Score: 1

    Can't be worse than a female game character with "DP" in her name.

  2. Re:Rated "M" for... (ahem!) on Sega Not Giving Up On Mature Wii Games · · Score: 1

    I'm already saving for the sequel, Daisy Fuentes® I'd Hit That(TM) Cardio Workout.

  3. Re:They didn't read Google News? on Google Mistook Jackson Searches For Net Attack · · Score: 5, Funny

    Michael Jackson would've attacked YOU with "google news" queries!

  4. Old news on Google Mistook Jackson Searches For Net Attack · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's Sunday; the death occurred on Thursday and Google blogged on the "attack" problem on Friday.

  5. Re:Carbonized chickens and hydrogen on Chicken Feathers May Hold Key To Hydrogen Storage · · Score: 3, Funny

    Carbonized chickens are perfectly safe.

    Weaponized chickens, on the other hand, cause mass destclucktion (especially when filled with H).

  6. FileFront, EGM, and Ziff-Davis on Electronic Gaming Monthly Coming Back · · Score: 1

    So Ziff Davis shuts down FileFront and is revived by its original owners; now EGM is revived by its original publisher.

    ZD also already filed for Chapter 11 last year, so they've clearly got some big issues (no magazine pun intended) to deal with. Not that I'm crying for them or anything, but you should probably reject any offers they make you for "synergistic business strategies" lest they kick the bucket and take your site with it. :)

  7. Summary links to wrong report on Learning From EA's Annual Report · · Score: 4, Informative

    GamePolitics links the correct report at their article; Slashdot's summary links the 2008 report in "annual report" instead. (EA only has reports to 2008 at the "annual report" link in the Firehose version.)

  8. Re:I have an easier solution: on Can rev="canonical" Replace URL-Shortening Services? · · Score: 1

    Free, maybe; rational, sane, or fair, less so.

  9. twitter on Can rev="canonical" Replace URL-Shortening Services? · · Score: 1

    For when you don't even have the time to hear about Blogger, Wordpress, RSS, or HTML (let alone learn about 'em)!

  10. meh on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 1

    They want to add more daemon threads to their site, let 'em.

    Me, I'm all for it; I love the smell of pointless data analysis in the morning.

  11. Re:Naming things, publicity, and financing on Fermilab Discovers Untheorized Particle · · Score: 1

    A newline particle...now that interests me. :P

  12. Re:verizon's leet math skills on Verizon Wants To Share Your Personal Information · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The alternative, in my case (for the internet anyway - I don't use Verizon Wireless or any other cellphones), are anticompetitive, anticonsumer, annoying (or worse) scum.

    Sorry, I gotta take potential bad math over such evil.

  13. Re:Holy Crap, Gurren Lagann was right! on Spiraling Magnetic Signal Shows Up In the Cosmic Background · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, nothing a giant super robot and a redhead with a massive rack^Wsniper rifle can't fix!

  14. and don't forget on Amazon.com Reporting This Holiday Season Their "Best Ever" · · Score: 1
    ACE: John Madden
    Lowes: EPIC FAIL*

    *debatable

  15. Re:The Electric Lane - Charge while driving on Can the Auto Industry Retool Itself To Build Rails? · · Score: 1

    The nearby potholes would be a pain in the ass for the technicians though. (But then, overly easy-potting roads already are.)

  16. Re:What is a GPU? on Inside Tsubame, Japan's GPU-Based Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    I thought of GPUBAP (GPU-based auxiliary processor), but that seems unwieldy. Maybe matrix-oriented processor (MOP) or vector+matrix-oriented processor (VMOP)? I dunno.

  17. Re:Let's cut the conspiracy theory on When Teachers Are Obstacles To Linux In Education · · Score: 3, Insightful

    He'll just wonder what textbook they were taken from.

  18. Re:Wasn't this part of a movie plot? on Triple Helix — Designing a New Molecule of Life · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They want to make a redheaded punk-haired girl, so it's a noble cause. ;)

  19. Re:Public domain? on Google To Host 10M Images From Life Magazine's Archive · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This image, among others, claims "© Time Inc." despite its 1860 date, so I wouldn't be quick to call the new archive a gift. They clearly want to (re)assert copyright on the pics.

  20. Re:PedanticMan to the rescue! on Daylight Savings Time Increases Energy Use In Indiana · · Score: 1
  21. Re:Buy the book on (Useful) Stupid Vim Tricks? · · Score: 1

    Anyone else misread the URL as "...Steve Ovaltine..."?

    I need more sleep :-(

  22. Re:Wait.. on Google Apps Gets a 99.9% Guarantee · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's a King Arthur cloud, maaan. Get with the times!

  23. Re:viral marketing on How To Supplement Election Coverage? · · Score: 1

    The jerks that own that site must be running out of cash (hopefully).

    Not really. Those important updates are brought to you by Linden Lab.

  24. But...b-b-but... on Four Add-ons Planned For Sins of a Solar Empire · · Score: 1

    I wanted to like this game, I really did, but the pacing is excruciatingly slow!

    ...th...th-t-there's no DRM!!!!!!!! That makes flowers, paper money, and porno tapes bloom from thin air!

  25. Re:Useless on Microsoft Patents the Censoring of Speech · · Score: 1

    For whatever reason, that sounds frighteningly like Simlish.
