  1. Mod Parent Funny® on Katamari Creator Wasn't Interested in Sequel · · Score: 1

    Notice the last few words. NOT a flame--or at least, it's one he kicked himself for in the end...

  2. Re:My password on Too Many Passwords · · Score: 1

    Somehow I feel that post just invalidated those passwords. ;)

  3. I won't answer that! on Too Many Passwords · · Score: 2, Funny
    Is the solution a master password, with all of the potential problems that represents, or biometrics, or are we stuck with post-it notes and a call to the help desk?

    I'd answer, but then it'll give insight into my password preferences, and then I'll get c00tz0rs from t3h l33t h4x0r2!!1!eleventyone etc.

  4. Sigh... on Happy 7th Birthday Google! · · Score: 1

    ...the good old days...*sob*

    For now, I find withdrawal therapy through dancingmad's sig. She's hawt. ;)

  5. I would second that... on ESA Selects Targets for Asteroid Deflection Test · · Score: 1

    ...except she might marry some freakin' king by the time I return from my journey. Damn men, always cockblocking us elves!

  8. Ah... on E-nose Sniffs Out Nasty Resistant Bacteria · · Score: 1

    ...but nothing can overload my 64-bit-integer-using Java-based ServoSniffSystem®!

    Nope, it doesn't just have garbage collection, it's got GarbageLikeYouRejection®!

  9. HEY! on E-nose Sniffs Out Nasty Resistant Bacteria · · Score: 1

    Damn it, just when I was about to leave and find an actual date.

    How dare you ruin my fantasy with your electronasal findings...*sob*

  10. In other news... on E-nose Sniffs Out Nasty Resistant Bacteria · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...famous cereal toucan gets new job extolling the wonders of following electronic noses, and rumors surface that the chair of Kellogg's has thrown a bowl in angry response to said toucan's career move.

    Thank you for watching; we'll see you Monday.

  11. Re:Where GPL ends and propriety can start? on RMS Previews GPL3 Terms · · Score: 1
    However, before contacting the FSF please be sure to have reviewed the GPL FAQ before emailing us.

    In other news, FSF's secret affiliation with the Department of Redundancy Department revealed. Film at 11.

  12. Somehow I doubt... on Slashdot HTML 4.01 and CSS · · Score: 1

    ...we'll see much dick-swinging from moroso.

  13. Yeah. on Slashdot HTML 4.01 and CSS · · Score: 1

    I'm waiting for #3141592.

    Side note: Someone alert me when the admins wake up and delete this seemingly unused name. It was the one I really wanted.

  14. Well... on Dell Launches Flash Music Player · · Score: 1

    ...as long as reformatting the flash doesn't make the scissors nonfunctional...

    Side note: Welcome to CSS, Slashdot. It's about damn time. Hopefully you'll iron out the resulting issues as you, and Web browsers, mature further... ;)

  15. Re:What are the specs on the "special manipulator" on VirtuSphere Immersive Virtual Reality · · Score: 1
    Safe Sex Goddess
    This sounds like it could be fun, depending on how big the special manipulator is.

    You win the internet...but you should've asked me for that "special manipulator" first. ;)

  16. Re:Refcards.com on Learning GNU Emacs, 3rd Edition · · Score: 1
    You can get the emacs card at http://refcards.com/

    You win the internet. Parent post is an example of an instant (5, Informative).

  17. I agree. on Learning GNU Emacs, 3rd Edition · · Score: 1

    Maybe I CAN do more stuff in this GNU Emacs thingy, and maybe I CAN use Vi bindings with it.

    But I'm a stubborn guy who likes Notepad and Vi. I figured out Vi when I dl'ed the Windows version (and tried Cygwin's too). Didn't take me long. Emacs is one of those non-conformist, odd things (a right-facing mouse pointer? kill/yank?) that make me go "Huh?" like Jessica Simpson in a fish market...but I have the first edition (with "minor corrections") of this book, so I might learn it someday...

    (As for Notepad, I just felt right at /home/gamekid with it from the get-go...)

  18. Re:Best use I've found for Google Satellite images on Google Earth Used to Find Ancient Roman Villa · · Score: 1
    God bless America...

    You misspelled Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Stanford University as America.

    Then again, seeing this Google Earth thingumebob, I guess you misspelled Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Stanford University as God too... ;)

    Bus, subway, and road maps are a double-edged sword. They are clearer because they distort and omit some of the actual geography, but because of that, we (I, at least) don't always know if we're there yet.

  19. Buy it back... on Google Earth Used to Find Ancient Roman Villa · · Score: 1

    ...and teach some kids how entertaining x^2** can be when combined with x^2+y^2=1.

    **Feature Request: Wikipedia-like math expression pictures on Slashdot. It would help with Math stories...

  20. That got me looking at Google Earth... on Google Earth Used to Find Ancient Roman Villa · · Score: 1

    ...and noticing some new Layers from National Geographic Magazine. Nowhere near Italy (I see the additions mostly in Africa), but I think they're worth looking at if you like finding random stuff with something Google... ;)

  21. Am I the only one... on The History of the Game Controller · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ...who noticed the "original Sega Saturn pad" has the Playstation logo? (Here's what seems to be the actual one.)

  22. Or as I'd call it... on The History of the Game Controller · · Score: 1

    ...the Saitek P880 with two more shoulder buttons. And vibration.

    Dunno about you guys, but said P880 is the only controller I use (my old Sidewinder gamepad and joystick both catch dust now).

    Duck Hunt on the NES, right? Nope -- it's an Atari arcade game called Qwak! Okay, maybe Nintendo did a little bit of stealing here, but that was how the business worked back in the day

    TFA put that in the side column, first page, as if companies don't steal now...

  23. I know. on Final Fantasy XII Combat Info · · Score: 1

    That's why they just removed access to that feature. It's on the disc though; it needs a patch from a hard-to-find place--like the Web or something.

  24. Re:Noooooooo on Final Fantasy XII Combat Info · · Score: 1
    The most annoying thing about FF was that you had to build up your guys by fighting a weak but profitable moster over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over.

    Duh. That's the point.

    1. Run around fantasy world
    2. Fight random, highly-detailed 3D monsters (not just any monsters!)
    3. ???
    4. Profit!
  25. Wow. on Final Fantasy XII Combat Info · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Even game kid could make random, error-riddled posts better than that--no wait, I AM game kid, and I MADE that parent post...*shudder* I suck at posting.

    Cue the "We knew that, game kid" posts...
