  1. Re:I have been using google music for years on Google Launches Google Music · · Score: 1

    ...which results in a useless page on "find.gl" when I use album name "Speak" and artist "Lindsay Lohan", and thus destroys your method. (Why I search for them is no one's business here. ;) )

  2. Re:Give CmdrTaco a break. on Google to Buy Opera? · · Score: 1

    Damn. The main man of Slashdot making a Slashdot meme. *head explodes*

  3. Assuming users keep it that way. on What Makes a Good Web Font · · Score: 1

    I tend to see Myspace users make odd perversions of it, like (my favorite) pink Comic Sans MS on green background--horrible, even by Comic Sans MS standards. It has its uses, but not those.

  4. Re:There's nothing sexier... on Miss Digital World 2005 · · Score: 1

    I'm still waiting for the day when people say, "Poly Count? Sheeeit. My icon of hotness uses smooth 3D Bezier curves and surfaces."

    (...preferably not just wireframes like the above-linked Flash toy, of course.)

  5. Re:Does anyone actually use english measures anymo on IPv6 Transition to Cost US $75 Billion? · · Score: 1

    Consumers, too. Everyone likes to check their car's EPA kilometres/litr--no wait...

  6. Re:They are not the only one.. seen this? on The Register Takes Aim at Wikipedia Again · · Score: 1

    Note the (class-action-related) "Ads by Goooooogle" right next to its main matter. I'd believe them if they took donations; it instead looks like a parasite leeching money from Wikipedia's recent tribulations.

    Recent news articles have exposed the growing problem with Wikipedia's methods. Untrue information posted to Wikipedia, as fact, by an anonymous 'volunteer' (Brian Chase, 38, a resident of Nashville, TN was later exposed as the person behind the lie) suggesting that journalist John Seigenthaler had been involved in the assassinations of John and Robert Kennedy was eventually removed by Wikipedia's co-founder Jimmy (Jimbo) Wales, but only after more than four months anguish and hard work by Seigenthaler.

    From the looks of that, it is a tribulation parasite.

  7. My solution to their sagging sales on Publishers Frustrated With Second-Hand Sales · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Each game publisher should print the stories of their games as medium-sized, paperback compilation readers, and sell them at colleges. That should make those evildoers buy new.

    --no wait...

  8. Re:M'kay? on Terrible Games From A Terrible Year · · Score: 1

    Snacks N' Jackson or the broken link?

  9. Film adapted to film? on Still No Director For Halo Movie · · Score: 1
    "Via 1up.com, an interview with Halo movie Producer Peter Jackson about his upcoming King Kong feature and the film adaptation of the Bungie film."

    Why would they need to re-adapt something to the same format (unless they want to boast of its billion-dollar production cost)? My head a splode...

  10. Re:A list of suspects on Miyamoto Hints At Second Revolution Secret · · Score: 1

    Everything you just said and especially the temperature simulation stuff. I'd love to feel the weather in Mushroom Kingdom/Zebes/Hyrule/whereever they be now (though Desert Land in Super Mario Bros. 3 better not feel too intense).

    A "+1, Future/Present Nintendo Employee" mod is in order here.

  11. ...and guys are chopped liver? on Miyamoto Hints At Second Revolution Secret · · Score: 1

    It better have a hole, too, and a pack of disposable velvet surfaces. Or else I'll go Link on it and slice it with my...uh...other Revolution controller, yup, that's it. Now Nintendo must cater to both sexes, for fear of having their controllers imaginarily sliced!

    Nah, I really want to see the whole Revolution thing anyway, even sans the surprise. The controller seems a bit gimmicky already, but I'm drawn to gimmicks. ;)

  12. If I may add... on Study Finds In-Game Ads Work · · Score: 1
    "At that point, we let the data speak for itself," said Michael Dowling. "To do this, we correlated brand pervasiveness, at each increasing level of integration, with key marketing metrics like awareness, recommendation and ratings. This data-driven, empirically-based analysis revealed a powerful new structure for brand integration."

    I knew it, he's a script! *kicks himself for not knowing earlier*

  13. Hey... on Study Finds In-Game Ads Work · · Score: 1

    ...if a game company that likes money and wants people to pay them for ads says it's true...

  14. Yup. on The Letter That Won US Internet Control · · Score: -1, Troll

    Sponsored by the letter F, the number 42, and Elmo. With that $20 million mansion/brothel Elmo rents out, he can sponsor anything.

  15. IN SOVIET AMERICA... on The Letter That Won US Internet Control · · Score: -1, Troll

    Black women own Europeans.

    Serriously, this truly is kick ass, if only so I can still get some shooters from Japan and other places before the Internet literally becomes the, uh...internets.

  16. Re:Nuclear Batteries Are Safer on Sony Develops Buckyball Fuel Cell · · Score: 1

    The British government has learned that Sony recently sought significant quantities of buckyballs...from Africa.

  17. Whatever. on Sony Develops Buckyball Fuel Cell · · Score: 1

    She's hot, and therefore passes my Turing Female Test.

    I'd click on her any time.

  18. Re:MySpace + Blogs = Proof that we need a Holocaus on The MySpace Generation · · Score: 1

    Not to mention his profile URL is a vandalized Michael Newdow article. A typical loser troll...

  19. Re:Wow, Dell! on PCWorld Dubs Firefox Best Product of 2005 · · Score: 1

    Your post and the PCWorld list just might be the push I needed to shell out $959-$1199 on it. It's gotta be good if listed above Google, the one thing Steve Ballmer wants to Fucking Kill® more than anything else. I've not much dough, but I can still get it...

    My E173FP has that change-color-at-different-angle-and-different-brig htness thing too. What I worry about is the (flourescent?) light: When does the 2405's dim out entirely? I'd still get it if it lasted a year or two...

  20. Re:Power to the user? on Microsoft Bows to Eolas, Revamps IE · · Score: 1
    (the white paper) Note While inactive controls do not respond to direct user interaction; they do respond to script commands.

    Probably won't break too much yet...

  21. Meh. on Microsoft Bows to Eolas, Revamps IE · · Score: 0

    I always though Eolas was gay. As dangerous as ActiveX is, that Microsoft has to change IE to match Eolas's fashion proves it.

  22. The best part on Company Claims Development of True AI · · Score: 1

    We won't have to ask if it runs Linux. Since mankind will be enslaved, we'll be running Linux for it, and generating a whole bunch of Soviet Russia jokes on its behalf.

    Kinda like Slashdot, now that I think of it...

    (I'm wondering who that girl on that CipherTrust book is...)

  23. ...and of course... on Adobe Acquiring Macromedia on December 3, 2005 · · Score: 1

    - much less of that favorite format of mine that shall SVG remain nameless (not that Microsoft's XAML and WhatWG's canvas help)

  24. Re:MAKE on Yet Another Holiday Gift Guide · · Score: 1

    Yep, she'll become t3h P5IKKO GR1LFRI3ND!!1 (Glad I don't deal with one.)

  25. Re: MAKE on Yet Another Holiday Gift Guide · · Score: 1
