  1. Re:It's not obsolete, here's why: on Obsolete Technical Skills · · Score: 1

    With mature software engineering principles and rigorous unit testing, there's absolutely no excuse for horse buggies at all.

  2. Re:One can hope on House Declines To Vote On Telecom Immunity · · Score: 1

    You're suggesting that the President use Netherworld tactics?

  3. I wrote to MPs on UK Commissioner Seeks To Ban Ultrasonic Anti-Teen Device · · Score: 1

    My local (Merseyside) papers made a lot of noise (ho ho!) some months ago when it was announced that a series of devices would be installed at petrol stations and other 'identified troublespots'. I wrote to a series of local MPs (some who had commented in the papers and some who hadn't) about their views on the device, asking how they would define such a device, how familiar they are with its function and effects and whether they would supporting a trial run of device installations in my local area. None of the bastards replied. And now I get their damn party 'newsletter' through my letterbox every month.

  4. Re:Silverlight on Microsoft Battles Vista Perception With Prizes · · Score: 1

    That's good to know. I always had trouble trying to pick him up by his tail and whirl him around into those bombs at the edge of the arena.

  5. Silverlight on Microsoft Battles Vista Perception With Prizes · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm not too familiar with this 'Silverlight'.

    Is it equally devastating to both werewolves and vampires?

  6. Re:Sounds Like Ozone on Outer Space has a Smell · · Score: 4, Funny

    If there's tiny molecules of ozone floating around in orbit of the earth, I'm certain that would be scientifically interesting.

    Ozone... around the Earth?

    You mean like some kind of... layer?

    (Yes, I know, I know. Couldn't help it. :P)
  7. What on Making Use of Terabytes of Unused Storage · · Score: 1

    What's wrong with just leaving the disks as they are for heaven's sake?

  8. Cost of a credit on Namco Blames Wii for Arcade Closures · · Score: 1

    I've played on a single arcade game in my life. Credits are simply too expensive.

    NO QUESTION. TOO EXPENSIVE.

  9. Re:Nintendo Wii Controller on Is the Game Boy the Toughest Product Ever Made? · · Score: 2, Informative

    It blends, by the way.

  10. Re:No less rigourous? on The Life of a Software Engineer · · Score: 1

    How many software engineers do you know who own planes?

  11. Spokesperson Quinn Mallory speaks: on Could We Find a Door To A Parallel Universe? · · Score: 1

    "What if you could find brand new worlds, right here on Earth, where anything is possible? Same planet, different dimension. I've found the gateway!"

  12. Re:Most useless press release ever on Could We Find a Door To A Parallel Universe? · · Score: 1
    -- I'm constructing a machine that projects a large, vertical plane of annihilative energy (roughly circle-shaped) in my backyard - I'm calling it Darwin's portal. Just pay me five bucks and step right in...

    You are the older Will Robinson from the movie Lost In Space, and I claim my £5.

  13. Re:EVERY religion sucks! on Internet Censorship's First Death Sentence? · · Score: 1

    I'd like to mod Robert Heinlein +1 Insightful.

  14. Re:NO worries on Leaked Government Doc Reveals UK ID "Coercion" Plans · · Score: 1

    We don't destroy our data in the UK, we just leave it lying about in cars or anywhere we can find really.

  15. sendinronweasley on Messenger Discovers "Spider" Crater on Mercury · · Score: 1

    Hahaha, who tagged this 'sendinronwealsey'?

  16. Re:Nowhere on Web Hosting For Privacy Activists? · · Score: 1
    That's actually a pretty profound answer when you think of it.

    You can host nowhere. Think about it. You can't host anywhere, but you can host 'nowhere'.

    All you need to do is find somewhere which counts as 'nowhere'.

  17. Re:Court did not rule on copyright issue on Court Says You Can Copyright a Cease-And-Desist Letter · · Score: 1
    I actually think its pretty cute. A bit like signing off a news report on TV:


    "I'm J. Random Hacker, this is /., and I am Not a Lawyer."


    It's reminiscent of Lazlow's "... and that's what's on my underground hard drive."

  18. Re:Before claiming RIAA should learn on Pirate Yourself, Become a Best-Seller · · Score: 1

    They'd have to be infinite quality, though! Really, really, massively big!

  19. Re:Before claiming RIAA should learn on Pirate Yourself, Become a Best-Seller · · Score: 1

    When you got the music in digital format pirated you don't get any additional value by buying the CD.


    Obvious solution: put things on or with the CD that would increase the value but would be difficult to reproduce. Say... all of the seperate tracks used to mix the song in infinite quality FLAC format, perchance? :)
  20. The difference between Pac-Man and Ms Pac-Man on AI Taught How To Play Ms. Pac-Man · · Score: 1

    That's it? Get right out of town!

  21. Mass Effect on Mass Effect's Aftermath · · Score: 1

    Mass Effect, like Final Fantasy XII, has the behind-the-character camera in way the wrong place.

    All you can see of Cmdr. Shepard or Vaan is their butt. The rest of the world might be the most wonderfully realised piece of CG art you'll ever see, but if you can't detach the camera from the hero's backside, it's all for naught.

    I'd been on the Citadel for three hours before I realised I'd never looked up. Do you have any sense of how tall the the room leading towards the council panel in the Citadel Tower is? C-Sec seems to be infinitely tall, but you can't tilt the camera up high enough to see.

    Honestly, I couldn't see a damn thing.

  22. Re:Let he who is without fur cast the first stone. on Green Light for Human/Animal Hybrids · · Score: 1

    Ohhhhh... Is that what the catapult arm thing from the other story is for?

  23. Re:Uhoh on High School Sophomores Discover Asteroid · · Score: 2, Funny

    Curse your fast typing! :D

  24. Re:Yay! on John Rhys-Davies Notes The Pitfalls of Game Movies · · Score: 1

    It will be crap. It has to be. But I don't care. To me, it'll be a blur of inconsequence with intermittent John Rhys-Davies coolness.

    Incidentally, I'd like more tea

  25. Yay! on John Rhys-Davies Notes The Pitfalls of Game Movies · · Score: 1

    Huzzah for John Rhys-Davies!

    I honestly thought that Dungeon Siege was a dead project. I'm very suprised to learn that they've had their heads down the whole time and got something done.

    Who else didn't think that the DS movie was still in progress?
