  1. Re:Didn't we figure this out already? on Video Games Linked To Child Aggression · · Score: 1

    I played violent games all my life, I haven't killed or hurt anyone.

    Me too!

    Although I quite often *want* to hurt people, but that might have more to do with other people than me in the current political climate.

  2. Geez.... on Fallout 3 Launches Amidst Controversy · · Score: 1

    The rest of the world is worrying about the election and the economic crisis and war and whatnot.
    The gaming community is in a tizzy because you can't kill children in Fallout 3.
    And people wonder why I keep the fact of my gaming hobby to myself.
    I bought Fallout 3, but I'm playing Fable 2 at the moment.
    Hey... You can't kill the kids in Fable 2, either! Oh no! I've been ripped off! (eye roll)

  3. Re:Socalist on Discuss the US Presidential Election & the Economy · · Score: 1

    I believe a fairly large portion of that 95% don't pay any income tax (~30%?).

    Closer to 40%.

  4. Re:WSJ on Obama tax plan on Discuss the US Presidential Election & the Economy · · Score: 1

    And when he removes the cap on the Social Security tax? I'm just sayin'

  5. To summarize... on Discuss the US Presidential Election & the Economy · · Score: 1

    It's a decision between two rapists.

  6. Stupid on 1000-mph Car Planned · · Score: 1

    Can we please stop calling these "cars?"

  7. Oh no! on Al-Qaeda Web Sites Go Offline · · Score: 1

    Damn! I'll just have to try an contain my disappointment!

  8. Fraught with peril on Watching Tonight's Presidential Debate Online · · Score: 1

    I tried that for the first debate and wound up accidentally seeing Babylon A.D.

    Never again!!!

  9. Re:no, i'm not really that funny on Internet Co-inventor Vint Cerf Endorses Obama · · Score: 1

    Or maybe *I'm* still being funny. For certain values of funny.

  10. :-) = 0 on Internet Co-inventor Vint Cerf Endorses Obama · · Score: 1

    Or you just weren't funny.

  11. The American Way! on Internet Co-inventor Vint Cerf Endorses Obama · · Score: 1

    Now, now... According to conventional wisdom, you're not supposed to throw away your vote on a third party.

    You're supposed to throw away your vote on someone you don't like.

    Otherwise, the wrong lizard gets in.

    That's how we effect change.

    You savvy? ;-)

  12. Re:awesome on Internet Co-inventor Vint Cerf Endorses Obama · · Score: 1

    i have the power to prevent mccain voters from voting

    I hate McCain. I'm an Obama supporter. I was joking. There was a smiley. Get the fuck over yourself.

    fucking cool

    Fucking idiot.

  13. Bing! on Internet Co-inventor Vint Cerf Endorses Obama · · Score: 1

    anyone reading this who is not going to vote, i have nothing for you but the most withering disgust i can muster

    I always vote, but your vast and tiresome self righteousness has inspired me to not only NOT vote, but to send you complete video documentation of me failing to voting just to disgust you. :-)

    2,912,790 to 2,912,253

    Yeah, well, I'm in California where McCain would be lucky to even get voted off the island. And your numbers there don't explain 2004. I'm just sayin'.

  14. LowTech on Watching Tonight's Presidential Debate Online · · Score: 1

    There's also that whole "radio" thing.

  15. Re:Caution on Study Links Personal Music Players To Hearing Loss · · Score: 1

    You did WHAT to a fawn???

  16. Re:7 years ago two planes flew into the Twin Tower on Yahoo Hacker 'Mafiaboy' Eight Years On · · Score: 1

    I belive its called Giuliani's rule

    Wow. I can say I was there when a new major meme was minted.

    Seriously, let's get this one spread.

  17. I'd love to give a commencement address... on Yahoo Hacker 'Mafiaboy' Eight Years On · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I was always a nice guy, and used my intellectual superpowers for the greater good.

    What a sucker I was. I should have turned to crime, taken my lumps, and then profited from tales of my crimes.

    Remember, boys and girls, everything your parents and teachers tell you about good behavior is wrong.

    The good guys watch their retirement investments get raped bloody.

    The bullies and bad guys get pardoned and bailed out with golden parachutes.

    Welcome to the steaming mountain of rat shit we call civilization, kiddo.

  18. Re:Caution on Study Links Personal Music Players To Hearing Loss · · Score: 1

    WHAT!?

  19. Re:The problem is... on How US Schools' Culture Stifles Math Achievement · · Score: 1

    In fact just because I'm suggesting the US isn't perfect I expect some American with mod points will exactly prove my point by modding this down as a troll, even though I'm trying to be observational and insightful.

    Well, you're at +4 Insightful as of me posting, so I guess that makes your post, by definition, NOT Insightful. But if it gets modded back down, it becomes Insightful again. The process then continues, oscillating in a frenzy of paradox.

    Next you'll be telling us everything you say is a lie, and Slashdot servers will beep several times and shut down in confusion.

  20. Re:Fox is like the National Enquirer on World Bank Under Cybersiege In "Unprecedented Crisis" · · Score: 1

    You are, it's called /. -- It's about the furthest thing from Fox you can find.

    You're right. Fox News manages to actually have an accurate summary once in a while. :)

  21. Make it tastier on Slashdot's Disagree Mail · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Getting a comment modded to +5 results in free pudding.

  22. Re:I remember Bloom County on Opus the Penguin Retired · · Score: 1

    (Although some of us would prefer Bil Keane did exactly that, since it'd mean little Billy would've retired years ago).

    That's just it, though. The melon-headed monstrosities of Family Circus made a pact with the Dark Lord for immortality many years ago, and are already middle aged. The flaw in the contract that sold their souls is that they are stuck as prepubescent rugrats who screw up words and repeat the same stupid jokes over and over again forever.

  23. Well... on New Contestants On the Turing Test · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Are they really *thinking* or have the programmers just done some tricks to make it seem that way.

    "Teaching to the test", so to speak.

  24. Re:Who am I supposed to hate more? on In Response To Restraining Order, Real Networks Pulls RealDVD · · Score: 1

    Hmmm. Maybe. But I'm still going to laugh at these guys. Sorry.

  25. Re:is people?! on Solyndra's Thin-Film Solar Cells Draw $1.2 Billion In Orders · · Score: 2, Funny

    There has to be some way to tie together "Solyndra" and "green" and "is people".

    Solyndra green is people.

    There ya go. Not sure what your difficulty was, actually.
