  1. Re:Poetic justice? on Student Satirist Gets 3 Months; the Judge, Likely More · · Score: 1

    "there's no take-backsies if it turns out you fucked up somewhere along the line."

    That statement means something completely different in prison, or so I hear...

    And I don't believe that is in any way an excuse not to execute someone. If the prosecution maliciously puts an innocent man on death row and he is executed before he is proven innocent, then they should be subject to punishment. It's not ok to say that you weren't aware of the man's innocence when your objective was to win, not to seek justice. There has to be a deterrent.

    Putting people in jail has only served to reward serial rapists with free victims. It is NOT a solution.

  2. And then on Russia Aims Towards Mars · · Score: 5, Funny

    Mars, ever eager to fight, aims right the fuck back.

  3. Thumbs up on Brave New World of Open-Source Game Design · · Score: 1

    Every time a game developer gets it right, I smile, because it's such a rare occurrence.

    City of Heroes/Villains is offering a mission editor with their next major content patch, which is a nice step in the right direction. It's just about the only thing that could pull subscribers away from wow.

    It's not about having the most powerful tools to do what you want, it's about being able to do what you want with minimal fuss.

  4. Wonderful advances. on Norfolk Town's Schools First To Be Heated By Burning Cattle · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's a wonderful leap forward in green technology. By eliminating the sources of methane gas, the world gets a lot greener.

    Once you can get over the sound of all the shrieking cows.

  5. A few talking points to jot down here... on What Spoils a Game For You? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Characters named after people whose stories I know, like Merlin, Atlas, Midas, etc; Overdramatized situations (if I'm the last best hope of humanity, you're fucked.); Bad music; Bad graphics (this, seriously, does not take much, just make sure that what I look at is easily identifiable and consistent with the other graphics in the game); Really glaring inconsistencies (walk into a 5x5 house, and the indoors area is as big as a gymnasium); Any "race" that is basically just a renamed version of something from some other setting/game; Vampires (exception: when said vampires are killing nazis); Any futuristic game with melee weapons (use your fucking gun); Any game that thinks the attractiveness of a female is defined by her attire (hint: posture, voice, face, and attitude. Past that it could be a toaster and still be hot. Consult: Baltar.); Grinding through boredom to get to something new, and then being slapped in the face with something so trivially different it's insulting. (see: world of warcraft armor in northrend);

    I am tired; Semicolons should be enough to make this readable.

  6. Re:speed on Nanotube Memory Finally Beats Flash For Speed · · Score: 1

    Yes there is, it's the shit-ton.

  7. Re:Far away from home on Italian Red Lights Rigged With Short Yellow Light · · Score: 1

    All of them being the ones near my house then.

  8. pff on Ubuntu Wipes Windows 7 In Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    wake me up when the shutdown time on my machine is as fast as it was on my 486. "click. off."

    I don't like the idea of my computer winding down. It makes me want to shut it down with my mallet.

  9. Re:Thank god he's still around on Jack Thompson Attacks DoD, ESA, GTA With Utah Bill · · Score: 1

    Utah Bill, a.k.a. Bill Stickers.

  10. Seriously? on Alaskans Prepare For Volcanic Eruption · · Score: 1

    Alaskans? admit to global warming? psh.

    what are they gonna do, take off one of their 6 coats?

  11. Re:Why? on Family Dog Cloned, Thanks To Dolly Patents · · Score: 1

    At first I thought you were a sick bastard, but I looked up the meaning of the word "Sprog" and found out it means children.

  12. Re:Great, more product placement in future games on Video Game Conditioning Spills Over Into Real Life · · Score: 1

    That would look better than the armor they come up with.

  13. Re:Ignore it if you don't want to watch it. on Please No, Not a Blade Runner Sequel · · Score: 1

    "The fact it's been made doesn't affect the original in any way whatsoever."

    Uwe Boll.

  14. Re:Intel is also planning... on Intel Develops Micro-Refrigerator To Cool Chips · · Score: 2, Informative

    But the flying spaghetti bus is the most important part of the computer.

  15. Re:There's no justice... on Guitar Hero: Metallica Setlist Released · · Score: 1

    There's more than one song from the Justice CD, just not the title track, which is a letdown.

  16. Re:Keep spreading lies on Downadup Worm — When Will the Next Shoe Drop? · · Score: 1

    noscript didn't work on that site for some reason.

  17. Re:Unfortunately, activism isn't always good on Social Networking Spurs Activism Against Repression · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm not convinced.

    I still say that allowing people to speak freely is the only way to ensure peace.

    Shutting people up when they spout hate only makes their cause seem righteous. By censoring them, you make them look like the good guys.

  18. Re:So, all this talk about Bush emails and... on Obama Keeps His Blackberry (And Gets a Sectera) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Switch the party labels around and Slashdot would be in flames."

    I'm this close to just outright modding this statement and all others like it flamebait.

    The Bush administration was mired in controversy and saying that Obama is just like him because they both have personal communications devices is just sickeningly stupid.

  19. Re:failure mode on RAM Disk Puts New Spin On the SSD · · Score: 1

    It pulls out a gun and shoots the user.

  20. Straight from Fallout on Edible "Intelligent Pills" · · Score: 1

    should call them "Mentats."

  21. Re:Keeps track of points on Sniping Could Be the Next Killer iPod App · · Score: 4, Informative

    frags, literally speaking, refer to killings of superior officers.

    I do believe sir, that you should use different terminology when marketing it to the military.

  22. Re:Already a victory on Barack Obama Sworn In As 44th President of the US · · Score: 1

    Don't have to worry about that. they don't have any money left to bribe him with!

  23. Re:Just one layer of paint on Single Drive Wipe Protects Data · · Score: 1

    The problem is the word there, "Random." If those random numbers were generated by a computer you can reverse the process.

  24. Re:Sure... on Single Drive Wipe Protects Data · · Score: 1

    It's actually far more effective to waterboard the hard drive to get information out of it.

  25. DRM on Technologies To Watch Fail In 2009 · · Score: 2, Funny

    DRM all over again. and again. and again.
