  1. AMD? on Apple to Use Intel Chips? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Wouldn't using AMD be even cheaper..?

  2. Re:Death Star on Review: Star Wars Episode III · · Score: 1

    If I recall correctly, the death star was assembled by a bunch of prison workers whose planet was the first test of the capabilities of that battle station o_O.

    Think about it, how long does it take for someone to assemble a big ass battlestation like that anyways?

  3. Re:not really on NASA Offers Reward for Extracting O2 from Moondust · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I imagine that their scope is much smaller. They aren't trying to create an astosphere but rather just trying to get breatheable air whatever facility that they might be staying in. You're also correct, the moon cannot support an atmosphere.

  4. Re:Something doesn't make sense here... on Microsoft Developing Windows for Low-End Machines · · Score: 1

    While it shouldn't be, it's oddly fitting.

  5. Re:Microsoft is still the norm in industry on Roadblocks to Linux in Education · · Score: 1

    As a recently graduated high school student, I can tell you that nothing that I learned in school about computer I didn't already know. Many times my fellow classmates knew more about the 'net than the old guy who was in charge of the media center there. Frankly I would have loved to see linux and similar installed on the PCs at school limiting the ammount of junk installed and so on.

  6. Re:Locales on Firefox Updated to 1.0.4 · · Score: 5, Funny

    You know, you don't have to wait for Firefoux to come out, you can just use the regular old Firefox..

  7. Re:Japanese Video Games w/o Speaking Japanese on Gaming Hacks · · Score: 1

    Well.... At least I finally understand what those 10-year old japanese kids were trying to do to me :|. I kinda feel bad now.

  8. Re:Wow, 2 gigs... on E-mail As the New Database · · Score: 1

    Well... I'm part of a gmail group that trades hentai

  9. Star Trek MMORPG... Too late.. on Viacom, Activision Stand Down From Red Alert · · Score: 1

    It's too late for a Star Wars MMORPG.. From my perspective as an MMO gamer, the market has already been flooded. The only crowd that a STMMO would draw would be hard core trekkies and frankly, there aren't that many of them around anymore.

  10. Griffiths, who... lives with his parents on DrinkOrDie Warez Trader to be Extradited to U.S. · · Score: 5, Funny

    illegally cracked security codes and reproduced software, games and music worth $US50 million ($71.6 million).

    ....

    Griffiths, who is unemployed and lives with his parents, was ordered to pay costs.


    The mother, the mother! Why wont someone think of the mother?!

  11. Re:Not really free on The Return of Free Internet · · Score: 1

    There are ads on slashdot?

  12. Hopefully... on Lexmark's DMCA-Abuse Case Coming To An End · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The DMCA is shot down in the court in other copyright related matters.

    I know, I know, downloading music isn't quite like manufacturing your own cartridge for another company's printer, but at least this proves that the DMCA can't shield everything.

  13. Re:They arn't even NM, and they cheat! on Square-Enix Bans Over 800 FFXI Accounts · · Score: 0

    Unfortunately, FFXI has about 5-8 gigs of installation files. Everytime they update the client, it takes about 10 *MINUTES* to check the integrity of every file. Honestly, I don't think it's very feasible to check every time before playing. Also, the parent is completely wrong regarding the removing of files. Even if you don't have a model file, you can still target the "empty space" where the mob is at. To actually not have any targets on your screen is completely something else; to be exact, it's a modified .dll that only shows the positions of monsters that you allow to be shown. The funny thing is, the "gil sellers" don't use this modified .dll. How do I know this? Easy! I've used it and every time time I always got the claim before they did. Alas, I don't play anymore. It got to the point where I had to cheat to be "average."

  14. Re:Hmmm.. That's funny . . . on LokiTorrent Shut Down · · Score: 0

    Yeah, but he still profits.

  15. Hmmm.. That's funny . . . on LokiTorrent Shut Down · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What are they going to do with all the money that was donated? I belive that someone was speculating that this is EXACTLY what was going to happen. 1) Do something illegal 2) Get sued 3) ....* 4) Profit! * Make a plea to the community and then run away anyways.

  16. They can't even make a decent webpage . . . on EA Starts Gamedev Program · · Score: 0

    . . . how in the world are they going to run a school? http://img190.exs.cx/img190/8057/easitethingagummy 1kj.jpg is a screenshot of what their site looks like in firefox.

  17. Range. . . on North Korea Admits to Having Nuclear Weapons · · Score: 0

    Well, the NK missile range is only what.. couple of hundred miles? They could hold japan hostage, but I don't think that their missiles can quite reach the US.

  18. Re:o_O umm ok we KNOW already on The Million-Gnome March · · Score: 0

    Actually... Dragoon *IS* gimped, just only after they get in the sixties when the level 3 skill chains come into play. They aren't very good closers and there are much better openers so they are purely SOL if the party can find another job. Ninja is pretty good job, you just need a trick partner and a thief to SATA the damage on you and then there's nothing you can do to peel the hate off.. Alas, there are very few parties who utilize a ninja properly. You should try Ninja/Blackmage after 51. Get a moldavite, all the HQ Elemental Staves and spam the elemental circle with Ninjutsu ;) And sorry, Ninja is no longer the end all, be all of the game.. That title goes to ranger/ninja! After the introduction of Promyvion, RNG/NINs true power was shown as they were one of the few classes that could take on Promyvion were you not an exceptional party with uber equipment and several thousand in food and potions.

  19. Re:cartoon, schmartoon on Fansubbers Under Fire · · Score: 0

    Actually, I disagree. If Evangelion *WASN'T* about the robots, but actually about the character development, then why are the evas featured... in nearly every episode? Nah, Evangelion is about stuff blowing up and robots stomping on things, the character development comes in secondary. What makes people think that it's the primary focus is the last 2 episodes when their budget ran out and they had to resort to 2x20 minute episodes with talking, reused frames, and a slide show of stuff drawn with crayons. A masterpiece it is not, but it definately is entertaining (sans the last 2 episodes)

  20. Re:Job Interview on Intergalactic Bounty Hunters Wanted · · Score: 0

    Actually, if you've bothered to read the expanded universe books, you'd know that Fett managed to get out of the Sarlac Pit within a few days or weeks after being digested :)

  21. Re:The Future on Half Life 2 Retail Sales Hit 1.7 Million · · Score: 0

    How's this for a caring company... Out of the major software developers, how many can you call up at home and chat with? Bill? Of course not.. Gabe? 2AM? Well, he'll at least say, "Hi."

  22. 33 comments... on Face of Mankind Open Beta · · Score: 0

    ... and the site may not be down yet, but it's starting to drip.

  23. Because... on Why Apple Makes a One-Button Mouse · · Score: 5, Funny

    ... they can't afford to pay for the second button.
