  1. Re:No I don't! on Auto Install of IE 7 Delayed In Japan · · Score: 1

    The question wasn't whether you knew, it was whether anyone knew. In which case the answer is yes, since presumably the people responsible for delaying it have some reasoning.

  2. Re:DON'T READ THAT ARTICLE, IT WILL MAKE YOU STUPI on Google Winning By Losing? · · Score: 1

    It's ok, no-one actually reads the articles.

  3. Re:SSDD on Next-Gen DVD Players to Rely on HDMI? · · Score: 1

    Well, nothing stops you from just taking the 480p output, except the lack of quality. I can't imagine pointing a camera at the screen would provide much in the way of quality.

  4. Re:A million times? on A 1.2 Petabyte Hard Drive? · · Score: 1

    You weak minded fool. They've used an old Jedi mind trick on you. Republic credits are no good here.

  5. Morals? Ethics? on Sony Rootkit may Lead to Regulation · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I've often wondered why things like this rootkit exist in the first place. Does Sony only employ those who are morally bankrupt? Surely someone at some point in Sony would have said "Hey, this is kinda evil".

  6. Re:Pure evil on Australians to Increases Surveillance Powers? · · Score: 1

    Oh no! My secret is out!

  7. Re:...and so they should !! on Graffiti Game Banned in Australia · · Score: 1

    Even sports games do not escape, as if you play professional sports in reality, you face the repercussion of not having a real job.

  8. Re:Not the issue at all on Graffiti Game Banned in Australia · · Score: 1

    I wonder how much "realistic instruction" that the game contains isn't obvious to anyone with an IQ above 50? Aim can at walls, spray paint.

  9. Re:Pure evil on Australians to Increases Surveillance Powers? · · Score: 1

    Everyone has their off days. That post happened to be written on one of mine.

  10. Re:Pure evil on Australians to Increases Surveillance Powers? · · Score: 1

    I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I'm used to that. The majority of people are sheep, and I call the opposition incompetent due to their failure to influence them in any reasonable volume.

  11. Pure evil on Australians to Increases Surveillance Powers? · · Score: 4, Informative

    The thing about the Australian government as it stands today is that it's just pure evil. If a report came tomorrow that John Howard likes to kill puppies it would not suprise me at all. The only reason he's still around is due to a generally incompetent opposition.

  12. Re:Complaint form on Nintendo DS Hurts The Children! · · Score: 1

    Already done. Referred to their so-called story as "sensationalist rubbish" and "drivel". It's fun criticising the media.

  13. Re:2 things: on FFVII Advent Children Dated · · Score: 1

    Most anime don't have 200 episodes (except for rubbish like DBZ and Naruto). The standard is either 26 or 13 episodes. Normally you can get a box set with a 26 episode series for about 60 of your American dollars.
    If you can't spare $60 for 26 episodes of anime, then I wonder how you can afford the broadband connection to download them, or a computer to watch them on.

  14. Re:2 things: on FFVII Advent Children Dated · · Score: 1

    You do know the DVDs have subtitles, right?

  15. Re:Regardless of the Unit on A PS3 Hands-On Report? · · Score: 1

    I wonder why that ire doesn't extend to MS?

    This is Slashdot, we've already got plenty to complain about with Microsoft.

  16. Re:So they remove IE from Mac on Microsoft to Continue Office on Mac · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure KHTML isn't based on Gecko.

  17. Re:Klingon Edition on Interview with Jimbo Wales · · Score: 1

    For whatever reason, the Klingon Wikipedia has been closed. Try editing it, you get a message saying the database has been locked.
    My guess is having a wikipedia for a fictional language kinda reflects badly on Wikipedia, but it doesn't stop them from having one in Anglo-Saxon.

  18. Re:Sony... on Slashback: IP Protection, ReligiousDocument, LiPS Savings · · Score: 1

    The EULA may be an unenforcable contract, but copyright laws sure aren't.

  19. Re:Episode 3 on Sony Music CD's Contain Mac DRM Software Too · · Score: 1

    I think it's only on the Region 1 DVDs. I've seen it mentioned in reviews and stuff but on my R4s there isn't any player stuff on them.

  20. Re:Intel's naming scheme has been fucked up since. on Intel Roadmap Update: The Art of Naming Processors · · Score: 1

    And if Microsoft invented counting we'd have:
    1, 2, 3, 3.1, 3.11 for Workgroups, 95, 98, 98 SE, 2000, Me, XP, Vista

    This is fun.

  21. Re:It is now official - Astronomy is Dying on Search for Copernicus Over · · Score: 1

    Netcraft confirms it!

  22. Re:He looks a bit like.... on Search for Copernicus Over · · Score: 1

    I think you might have to give up your geek credentials for describing James Cromwell as the actor from Babe rather than as Zefram Cochrane from Star Trek: First Contact.

  23. "Debut soon"? on High Dynamic Range (HDR) Technology Analysis · · Score: 5, Informative

    For one thing, Lost Coast is already out, and has been since last week.
    For another, the first Valve game to use HDR is DOD:Source, and that's been out quite a while already.
    And finally, Valve didn't actually invent HDR, so other stuff has already used it.

  24. Re:How many days on dial-up? on PC Gaming On The Comeback Trail · · Score: 1

    What about the CD stuck to the front of magazines?

  25. Re:money is all that matters... on Peter Jackson Not Pleased EA Experience · · Score: 1

    Why is he complaining? Just a little thing called artistic integrity.
