  1. Re:Real reason he is being arrested: on FBI Raids Security Researcher's Home · · Score: 1

    Pepper spray would be a baaaaaaad idea. Heh. Funny though. Think the elevator scene in School for scoundrels throughout the airplane.

  2. Re:Too bad it has to be this way on FBI Raids Security Researcher's Home · · Score: 3, Funny

    What the hell is he gonna do with 2/100s of a cent?

  3. Re:Well.. everybody has an opinion... on Why Sony Won't Lose The Next-Gen War · · Score: 1

    They have sold over 10 million 360s as of today. Time to break out the anti-stupidity stick. They've sold around 6 million. They hope to sell 4 million is the next 2 months, which is highly unlikely since the Wii will have enough units to make most people happy and the PS3 will have enough to scoop up the money to burn category.

  4. Re:Real importance beyond jewelry? on Lab Created Diamonds Come to Market · · Score: 5, Informative

    Ding!. The DeBeers cartel has over a 400 yrs supply of diamond stock. If artificial diamond tech takes off and they can't get a stranglehold, that stock becomes essentially worthless.

  5. Re:Cue standard slashdot responses: on How Much Does a Vista Upgrade Cost? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    What happened to the great American "can do" attitude and the entrepreneurial spirit that made Silicon Valley so great Taxes, and the public school system.

  6. Yes.. Boycott Sony. on Lik-Sang Is Out Of Business · · Score: 1

    Even though there was no way that the UK/Euro govt. would have allowed the continuous sale of PS3's from Japan/America to be resold by a legit. online retailer thereby skipping out on import duties, customs regulations, and that bloody stupid VAT tax. Then there's the retailers themselves who would sue Sony, and depending on their contracts with them, possibly win. And then, of course, there's the fact that all the corps. besides Sony who push for seperate regions on movie materials would have formed a lynch mob. But this is /., so we'll just ignore any realities of the situation at hand.

  7. Human embryonic stem cells..... on Stem Cell Therapy Causes Tumors · · Score: 1

    shouldn't they be using rat embryonic stem cells seeing as they're working with rats? Seems to me there would be less of a chance for the cells to grow uncontrollably if they did.

  8. Re:How do they work? on Space Elevator Challenge · · Score: 1

    Ding. The footprint for a truly sturdy space elevator would probably be around the size in square mileage of Delaware, if not greater.

  9. Re:Interesting. on England Starts Fingerprinting Drinkers · · Score: 1

    Yes, because the gangbangers killing each other over thier drug territory has sooo much to do with the 2nd amendment.

  10. Re:Importing is illegal? on PS3 Details From Sony Game Day · · Score: 1

    Lik-Sang is an actual company. The court's decision had nothing to do with a single person reselling something in another country that he bought at full price in Japan.

  11. Re:F.E.A.R. is a misnomer on Fraidy Cat Gamer · · Score: 1

    Um, the original dooms were scarier. Especially the resurrection demons. The only thing that creeped me out in D3 were the damned flying babies. Not to mention I never once had an "Oh shit I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die" feeling from D3, while in almost every big monster infested room you got that feeling with the original dooms.

  12. SeventhStar needs a dictionary on Next-Gen Console Exclusives Explored · · Score: 0, Troll

    38 exclusive games is a few? When the damned console isn't even out yet? Ohhhkay then.

  13. Correction to GP post on Human Species May Split In Two · · Score: 1

    Except the US is not a free market, but rather is corporatism masquerading as a free market. Get your facts straight.

  14. Re:Will this force XBox Live to become free? on Details on the PS3 Online Service · · Score: 1

    The entire flipping XBOX wasn't cost effective as a franchise. So far, neither is the 360. It's a BS argument anyway, since somehow Steam isn't a charge service and yet Valve is still making money hand over fist.

  15. Re:YouTube Is Not Censoring Dumb @ss! on YouTube Accused Of Censorship · · Score: 1

    One test, that either failed miserably, was a test nuke, of was a fake.

  16. Worthless. on MySpace Organizes Sudan Fundraiser · · Score: 1

    Until the bastards in Khartoum are ousted from power.

  17. Re:Get the facts straight on A Gaming War Between Islam and the West? · · Score: 1

    If by kidnapped, you mean confirmed hezbollah terrorists who were arrested, tried, and put in jail, then yes, they were kidnapped.

  18. MOD PARENT DOWN for completely flunking history on A Gaming War Between Islam and the West? · · Score: 1, Troll

    "In case the history of the last century escapes you, there once was a sovereign nation called Palestine" Earth to BeeBeard, there never was a nation called palestine. The was the transjordan and palestine area which was part of the ottoman empire.

  19. Re:Yes, but on A Gaming War Between Islam and the West? · · Score: 1

    Actually, the UN is an example of why pure democracy would suck major ass.

  20. Re:If this is true on North Korea Says It Has Conducted Nuclear Test · · Score: 0, Troll

    Actually, dipshit, it has to do with the fact that within 24 hours of any attack by us, even without nukes between 1-2 million South Korean Civilians living in Seoul would be dead. That's how much conventional artillery they have pointed at SK.

  21. Re:Why are there quotation marks around 'Happy'? on EU 'Happy' To Wait For PS3 · · Score: 1

    Those are the poor man's [sarcasm] tags.

  22. Re:Three things to think about with the PS3 rollou on Gamestop Managers Worried Over PS3 Launch · · Score: 1

    Um, no, it's not due to lack of demand, it's due to lack of components. Apparently the US government ordered too many for their special operations sharks.

  23. "This launch is not going to go well" on Gamestop Managers Worried Over PS3 Launch · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, considering the fact that at every Gamestop/EB games the official party line seemed over the last 1.5 years to be that the 360 was the end all be all of gaming systems and the PS3 was horrible, why am I not surprised. Seriously, when he was off the job the local gamestop manager actually was talking about how he was looking forward to the PS3, and yet go in and ask him, and suddenly he attempts to push 360 superiority. Recently this changed, but for a while, they basically bashed the PS3 as store policy. And now they're saying they think it will fail? I smell a combination of stupidity and possible payoff.

  24. Re:this study is a little iffy on Bloggers or High Schoolers, Where is the Literary Talent? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I want to know what happens when you take a cross section of bloggers. Like say, political bloggers, and then cross section that further. Take it down into standard authoritarian, authoritarian social, authoritarian economy, and true liberal. Be interesting to see the results.

  25. Why won't it just DIE! on Oblivion Confirmed for PS3 Launch · · Score: 1

    Seriously, Oblivion is about as fun as a box of rocks, except less structured and dangerous. Smegging Bethesda.
