  1. Re:Sure, 17 year-olds believe this because of a ga on Halo 3 Criticized In Murder Conviction · · Score: 1

    IIRC, Hidden & Dangerous has a system similar to this. But without the stats.

  2. Re:Kinda makes me wonder on Congressman Wants Health Warnings On Video Games · · Score: 1

    fat chicks. in YOUR bed.

    that'll stop ya.

    This is slashdot. We'll take what we can get.

  3. Re:Emerging Solutions on All of Vietnam's Government Computers To Use Linux, By Fiat · · Score: 1

    The south-west coast of Africa has a slightly different climate to Vietnam.

  4. Re:I Predict... on A Look Back At Kurzweil's Predictions For 2009 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Because everyone thinks that every company is evil.

  5. Re:Automated Telephone Systems on A Look Back At Kurzweil's Predictions For 2009 · · Score: 3, Funny

    So he just predicts they'll be around, not that they actually work?

  6. Re:World of Warcraft and p2p... on Australia To Block BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    This block is being put into effect by someone who clearly doesn't understand exactly what bittorrent or file sharing is. I'm sure he will be thoroughly informed soon enough.

    History shows that he won't even listen, let alone learn, though.

  7. Re:10 Atoms thick? on Researchers Create Graphite Memory 10 Atoms Thick · · Score: 2, Funny

    Which is why everything should be measured in Libraries of Congress.

  8. Re:It will work... on Vista To XP Upgrade Triples In Price, Now $150 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sorry, but explain eight years of Bush to me then.

    Seems to have worked quite well. You're blaming Bush and not the smart people.

  9. Re:Random loot and levelled loot. on On Luck and Randomness In Games · · Score: 1

    For fun? Novel, I know.

  10. Re:Lets think about this for a while on Pushing 800W of Wireless Power at 5 Meters · · Score: 1

    Skin cancer anyone?

  11. Re:Grandma! on World's First 21Mbps EHSPA/HSPA+ Data "Call" · · Score: 1

    It's supposed to be rolled out by the end of the year, so even if it is delayed, it'll be more like 1-2 months than 1-2 years. They're currently talking 42Mbps by 2010.

  12. Re:So, actual data rate is.... on World's First 21Mbps EHSPA/HSPA+ Data "Call" · · Score: 1

    It depends entirely on how many other people are using the cell at the same time. If you're the only one, and you have decent reception, you'll get pretty close to the full amount. Oh, you also need a device capable of that connection speed, which doesn't really exist quite yet (but will soon).

  13. Re:Next Console? on Nintendo's Miyamoto On Innovation, Wii Ambitions · · Score: 1

    Actually I see the 360 Arcade is the cheapest, with the Pro being the same price as the Wii.

  14. Re:DARPA! on Mad Scientist Brings Back Dead With "Deanimation" · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Most likely, yes.

  15. Re:Slashdot Effect on PC Grand Theft Auto IV Features SecuROM DRM · · Score: 1

    Most of those who would even be bothered enough to send the emails (a rather small percentage I imagine), wouldn't follow through with any of the threats anyway, so nothing would change.

  16. Re:Frame rate on 18% of Consumers Can't Tell HD From SD · · Score: 1

    However, OLED potentially at least has the ability to display blinding frame rate speeds

    This is just personal preference, but I prefer my display devices don't blind me. I find them more functional this way.

  17. Re:"the media" on 90% of Gaming Addiction Patients Not Addicted · · Score: 3, Funny

    have you found a magical fountain of information which is omnipotent, completely unbiased, and always on topic?

    Slashdot. Duh!

  18. Re:Well, arguably not... on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 1

    I tried that but I wasn't gonna go to the trouble to get it in a form that slashdot would accept.

  19. Re:Well, arguably not... on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 1

    Touche.

  20. Re:Well, arguably not... on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 1

    It's just an old wise tale

    Old wive's tale.

    Wives old tale.

    Wive's old tail.

  21. Re:Well, arguably not... on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's just an old wise tale

    Old wive's tale.

  22. Re:Frankenstein on Resurrecting the Mighty Mammoth, Cheaply · · Score: 1

    Somehow I believe if you could bring one back, bringing another back of the opposite sex within a few years wouldn't be impossibly difficult.

    Just mix in a certain frog's DNA, and they'll change from female to male no problems.

  23. Re:Frankenstein on Resurrecting the Mighty Mammoth, Cheaply · · Score: 1

    I guess that would depend on how reshuffled the DNA gets in the process of injecting new sequences.

    As long as it's shuffled at least 4 times, it should all work out fine.

  24. Re:Devertebrated on Unix Dict/grep Solves Left-Side-of-Keyboard Puzzle · · Score: 1

    Is it just me or is it NOT in the summary, article, or article linked from the article?

    It's just you. It's towards the bottom of the first linked article.

  25. Re:From TFA: on Search For the Tomb of Copernicus Reaches an End · · Score: 4, Funny

    Hmm... I expect his body was hidden in the last place they looked. It always seems to work out that way for me.

    Not me. I always keep looking after I've found the body. Just in case you know?
