  1. Re:In unrelated news... on Lexus Computers Infected Via Bluetooth · · Score: 1
    ...street gangs have been reported to tote Bluetooth-enabled notebook computers instead of firearms.

    *makes feature request to Rockstar Games*

  2. "sybian /funny"? on Lexus Computers Infected Via Bluetooth · · Score: 1
    sybian /funny

    Sex toys that take command-line arguments? Try sybian /fast /strong and tell us how that experience went.

  3. Owned. on WoW Downtime Interview at Penny Arcade · · Score: 1
    To thoses who marked this interesting. Are you so stupid that you actually think that the president of SOE opened an account on slashdot just to post this message?
    actually I did. feel free to email me at jsmedley@soe.sony.com and I'm happy to reply. John

    Words like "u g0t pwn3d" and "Terrorists win!" come to mind here. Here's another (cached) site with the e-mail address, showing an apparent response to a *ahem* well-worded e-mail (not for children).

    I wouldn't be shocked. Executives notice Slashdot, but they're busy making products, deals, and legal action--and filtering out e-mails like the one on the link above, I'm sure.

    Insert In Soviet Russia joke here.

  5. Re:sniperbots on Pentagon To Send Robot Soldiers to Iraq · · Score: 1
    bug-sized things that find the exact individual you want to kill, and kill them with very effective poisons -- or perhapss bio-weapsons targeting him.

    The US and UN say they're trying to stop the spread of those things you insensitive clod!

    ...but considering the US trend with "daisy cutters" and the "Mother Of All Bombs", and UN members' alleged corruption with Saddam Hussein, I guess those bio-weapons will be a mere drop in the WMD bucket.

  6. Environment variables? on Environment Variables - Dev/Test/Production? · · Score: 1

    <sarcasm>You mean the ones besides %windir%, %tmp% and %systemroot%?</sarcasm>

    In my case, home, home, and, um...oh yeah, home.

    Problems? Well, on Windows, errors, the occasional 0xC0000005 and the occasional total system crash; on Linux? I'm still learning, ask again in a few years...yes, I just program for fun. I'll go now...

  7. Maybe... on Machine Learns Games · · Score: 1

    ...if it learns how to make money, knows to take said g/f out to a good restaurant (good != McD's) and doesn't look at other cute-looking girls. Or machines.

    Not that I have any experience; I'm going from hearsay, friendly advice and The Bachelor; furthermore, if your g/f actually likes McD's, the second part obviously doesn't apply.

  8. Re:A Lil OT on Kahle v Ashcroft Appeal Filed · · Score: 1

    ...or the old versions of google. I hope no one (else?) starts asking for their archived pages back.

    After reading TFA I expect this case to go to the Supreme Court and make massive waves, at least.

  9. Re:Movies are Shared Experiences on Napster to Offer Movie Downloads · · Score: 1
    The only exception is pornography. Unless Napster intends that its service will be predominantly for pornography downloads, Napster will not achieve much market penetration (pun intended). Perhaps, Napster should offer a special deal: After 10 downloads, you receive a free jar of vaseline.

    Boy that's hilarious <sarcasm>and I wonder what kind of market is being penetrated exactly?</sarcasm> but perfectly true. I hardly watch movies without someone around to enjoy it.

    <chuckle>

    ERROR: missing end tag for <chuckle>. Line 1, position 9. but yes, I chuckle too at the vaseline idea.

  10. Or how about mirrordot? on Hurricane Electric Offers Bit Torrent Service · · Score: 1

    Or how about mirrordot? Doesn't always mirror pages accurately (page design-wise) but its pages are often up when the others are not, so us link-clicking Slashdotters should see the source more of the time, no?

    I personally prefer a mirror link to a torrent download of some unknown zip/html/etc on some tracker that might be pulled thanks to RIAA/MPAA/**AA's arbitrary reasons. (Not that mirrordot can be authenticated either.)

  11. Re:Women memory on Volatility of Human Memory · · Score: 1

    And people modded the parent Flamebait because...?

    Heck, if (notice the if) I was a woman I'd appreciate the compliment. Us guys always forget the car keys, the school assignments, this week's magazines...

    At least I remembered to admit it.

    That must be the pr0n version.

  15. “Nintendo is dying!” on Cultural Blinders Lead to Nintendo Fallacy · · Score: 1

    Nintendo, with their boatloads of money from their new and old games (and enforcing their copyrights) is probably like their own Mario.

    If they die, I'm sure they'll just drop offscreen and go down to 2 lives from 3.

  16. Re:WTF? on Writing Fiction Using SubEthaEdit · · Score: 1
    My internal English parser barfed on this sentence.

    So has mine, and certainly everyone's. I like the collaborative fiction idea...but did they use it for each sentence in the post?

    WTF is the parent talking about???

    WTF indeed. Seriously, SubEthaEdit's the kind of stuff that would make me buy OS X actually.

  17. Re:Mac OSX only... on Writing Fiction Using SubEthaEdit · · Score: 1

    I was about to say "you can always use eMule or something similar (heck, even eMail) to send the writing between users" but then I saw SubEthaEdit's site.

    At the risk of being sued, I must say, That's hot®.

    the Tsunami represents God against man, and we're going to KICK gOD'S ASS!!!111 WTF!!!!11

    Could it be...new sig!

    Seriously, I'm not shocked that Puyallup would cancel such a thing. Schools and guns just don't go together, no matter how innocent the intention. The act of utter insanity and stupidity in Columbine only reinforced that.

    Still, I agree here. The Red Cross needs every dollar it can find, and something popular like Halo 2--complete with violence release form--would have done that. Governments tend to pledge aircraft-carrier loads of money and not give it when it's needed.

    Or let's punish him|her more...a Windows Media Player control. In Internet Explorer.
