  1. Well, duh on High Performance Gaming Mice Don't Perform · · Score: 1

    They are the $300 Monster cables of the gaming world. I thought everyone knew that.

  2. Re:Just took phone out of my pants pocket. on Mobile Phone May Rot Your Bones · · Score: 5, Funny

    You scoff, but nose blowing fatalities are the great, unspoken tragedy of our times.

  3. Outside the box on Ask Slashdot: What Gadgets Would You Use For Hunting Meteorites? · · Score: 2

    Get a truffle hunting pig and beam it with vast amounts of gamma radiation.

    That should transform it into a meteorite hunting pig.

    Um, or Hulk Pig.

    Wait. I better go check my notes.

    DON'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL I GET BACK!

  4. Re:I can hardly wait for it to come out on DVD on Futurama Renewed For 7th Season · · Score: 1

    Well then they need to get lives and not worry about what some Hollywood types say. Ooo! They were lied too! Ooo! It's fucking TV show. Tell them to get over it and change their panties.

    I think what Lost tried to do was great. Yeah, it was far from perfect, but, shit, have you ever seen anyone try to do what they did with a weekly series? It was a fairly kickass attempt to do something really different. And all this bellyaching by the peanut gallery is just going to make sure no one tries it again, and we get more steaming piles of reality TV, or another CSI or more watered down superhero fluff.

  5. Re:I can hardly wait for it to come out on DVDx on Futurama Renewed For 7th Season · · Score: 1

    I guess I'm one of those who don't think every little thing needs to be answered. To be honest, it'll just be more made up fiction, so who really cares? It's not reality. There is no ultimate truth to be revealed about anything. It's all made up.

    The show ended with a bug "fuck you" and a laugh, having never answered almost all the questions it painfully went about forcing in their face and asking.

    That's just taking it way to seriously. I like the show as I watched it. So what if they didn't show the schematics for the ancient device where the little river flowed? You said you didn't see it, though, so your knowledge is presumably second hand. They actually answered quite a bit. I really think the hostility from many was just backlash that you get with anything popular. Anyone who actually got angry needs psychological help.

  6. Early shows on Ask Slashdot: How/Where To Start Watching Dr. Who? · · Score: 1

    You really can't start at the beginning. The very first shows are available on DVD, but then there are gaps where shows got taped over because the BBC could not imagine anyone *ever* wanting to watch something that was already broadcast. Yeah, TV executives haven't improved very much.

    I have no idea where you should start. :) The first black and white episodes are good too see where it all started. Shoestring budgets, but even then the Daleks were pretty cool.

  7. Re:Seriously? on Futurama Renewed For 7th Season · · Score: 1

    Gee, I thought the last one was pretty good. The scene where the Doctor walks out of the room and appears on the film in the past was brilliant.

  8. Re:Futurama Vs Venture Bros. on Futurama Renewed For 7th Season · · Score: 1

    I'm a bit more charitable: 75% is crap. ;-) Loves me some Venture Brothers, Metalocalypse and Robot Chicken. I still love Aqua Teen Hunger Force. It's almost dadaist humor. Superjail is in the same vein. Would like to see them do another Sealab style show where they take an old toon and rework it.

  9. Re:I can hardly wait for it to come out on DVD on Futurama Renewed For 7th Season · · Score: 1

    I figured out it wasn't an alternate timeline at episode 4, and guessed the real answer by the next, although I wasn't positive until it was revealed in the final episode. Actually, I thought it was a beautiful mind fuck. A flash *way* forward.

    I can see people not liking such an odd show, but the outright hostility baffled me. I enjoyed myself with it and moved on.

  10. Is *this* fun? on Duke Nukem Forever Multiplayer Mode Predictably Controversial · · Score: 0

    Nuh-uh! No it doesn't! Pbbbbbtttt! :-P

    u mad?

  13. So? on University Switches To DC Workstations · · Score: 1

    Comm industry has been running off of -48V since, like, forever.

  14. Re:TEA on A New Class of Nuclear Reactors · · Score: 1

    Still better than going boom. Fix the error, slap in a new block, and off you go! :-) Modularity, son, modularity! No worries. We'll get Don Draper to do the initial sales pitch.

  15. Re:And... on Experimental Batteries Charge In Minutes · · Score: 1

    Er, did you reply to the correct post?

    And, yes, my pants are rather smart. Thank you! :-)

  16. Re:Ok, great... on Duke Nukem Forever Multiplayer Mode Predictably Controversial · · Score: 1

    It appealed to a lot of hardcore RPG types, including me and my sister (who would inject distilled Elder Scrolls into her veins if she could). I told her to stick to skooma.

  17. Re:Because it's fun? on Duke Nukem Forever Multiplayer Mode Predictably Controversial · · Score: 1

    Easily the best co-op game I've ever played, especially with three or four players, although just two was great as well. Hell, I even liked it single player. Semi-open world FTW. The called it a "role playing shooter" up front, so FPS drones should have known the wasn't their linear, go here do that thing.

  18. Re:Ok, great... on Duke Nukem Forever Multiplayer Mode Predictably Controversial · · Score: 1

    *shrug* I got really good at the vehicles in Borderlands, almost as good as some games where driving is the primary point. I was always the designated driver in co-op.

  19. And... on Experimental Batteries Charge In Minutes · · Score: 2

    Six months from now no one will remember these, along with all the other "revolutions" in battery tech.

    Me? Cynical? Not nearly enough, actually.

  20. Testing the analogy waters on My $200 Laptop Can Beat Your $500 Tablet · · Score: 1

    My stove can totally pwn my toaster oven, but I use the toaster oven a lot more.

    There. Let *that* analogy fester next to the car based ones, and shudder in fear at a future filled with major home appliance analogies.

  21. Re:Who thinks this? on My $200 Laptop Can Beat Your $500 Tablet · · Score: 1

    It's unfortunate that 95% of tech journalists don't cater to 5% of the market

    Why is that unfortunate?

    Can we hear about Borderlands 2 yet?

    And a culture where the very concept of a whistleblower is utterly alien.

    Thorium energy amplifiers? Turn off the proton beam and the thing shuts down because it's subcritical.
