  1. Re:n = 15 on Consumer Reports Gets Its Game On · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When was the last time you saw 15 people testing a game to write a review, rather than just one?

  2. Re:Well, for one thing.. on Why Buy a PC Preloaded With Linux? · · Score: 1

    It's really not much to ask. Why is ubuntu the only linux distro that has drivers for my wireless card?

    You would think something that simple wouldn't be hard to get drivers for.

    It's really not sensible to accept that most of all computer hardware won't work in linux.

  3. Waste of legislation. on President Bush Signs Genetic Nondiscrimination Act · · Score: 4, Funny

    Those ATTTACAGATTAC ers deserve to be discriminated against.

  4. Re:Why Mars all the time? on First Pictures From Mars Phoenix Lander · · Score: 1

    You can always compile your own space agency from scratch.

  5. The end of gaming piracy! on Atari Founder Proclaims the End of Gaming Piracy · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sadly, the chip was stolen before it could be used.

  6. Re:If I am reading this correctly on $4 Million In Fines For Linking To Infringing Files · · Score: 1

    Actually it means that in short order, all businesses that deal with the internet will cease and desist all business relating to the industry that's trying to destroy the internet.

    The internet has made a lot of people very wealthy, at the expense of a few big businesses that are bribing Congress.

    It will be very soon when they run out of money and Congress looks to the new wealth for money.

    When that happens all of these laws will be struck down and everyone involved with them will, of course, be sent to jail when they can't pay their multi-trillion dollar fines.

  7. Re:What a stupid anti-fat drug this can become on Cell Metabolism Artificially Enhanced · · Score: 1

    Cells != people.

    increasing the metabolism of a single cell could save lives and reverse the effects of some diseases. Thankfully, at least for most of us, we are made up of more than one cell.

  8. Not to be negative... on First Exotic Space Thruster Test Ends in Explosion · · Score: 1

    ...but EVERY space thruster test should end in an explosion.

    on principle.

  9. Re:Dude. on P2P BitTorrent Tool Could Replace Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    I have to call BS on your pitiful argument here.

    Just because it's written in the constitution (Slavery?) does NOT make it constitutional, and if it isn't there, it by no means isn't constitutional.

    The courts decide, not the pedants.

  10. Dude. on P2P BitTorrent Tool Could Replace Pirate Bay · · Score: 5, Funny

    They haven't even passed their unconstitutional law. And here you are already defeating it. You're supposed to give them a few minutes of satisfaction.

  11. Re:Half the size of Earth? on Jupiter's Third Red Spot · · Score: 1

    That photo may be distorted somewhat.

  12. Re:Get back to work! on US Firms Read Employee E-mail On a Massive Scale · · Score: 1

    How many times did hello.jpg pop up on the sales monitor?

  13. yeah right on Vanguard Producer Wants Second Chance for First Impression · · Score: 1

    What guarantee can you offer that the performance increase didn't come from players leaving?

  14. Re:Report at 11.... on Nanotubes "As Deadly as Asbestos" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It brings attention to the idea that "grey sky" is just as deadly as "grey goo."

    It means that any nanobot capable of self-reproducing is a planet-destroying threat.

  15. Re:Good on YouTube Refuses To Remove Terrorist Videos · · Score: 1

    If you censor their videos noone will see that they truly are evil.

  16. Re:Obligatory on 2nd Generation "$100 Laptop" Will Be an E-Book Reader · · Score: 1

    Of course it can. The kids will find a way.

  17. Re:Simple: BUY BIG STUFF on Using RFID Tags Around the House? · · Score: 1

    up until the dog mistakes it for a novelty chew toy.

  18. Re:The answer is right there in front of you on The Most Annoying Software Out There · · Score: 1

    Mine says Slashdot | The Most Annoying Software Out there - Mozilla Hypnoanemone

  19. Re:How is the mechanism exploited? on New 'Phlashing' Attack Sabotages Hardware · · Score: 1

    Well there must be some way to get the root password - I suspect that social engineering or a bad seed may be the culprit for that - then it's just a matter of running a program.

  20. Re:Imagine the first alien message! on ET Will Phone Home Using Neutrinos, Not Photons · · Score: 1

    I have a snacklefroo, you insensitive clod!

  21. Re:I had no clue people still upgraded firmwares. on New 'Phlashing' Attack Sabotages Hardware · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well, you probably wouldn't value a $30 router unless you were using it at the time.

    I can easily see this being an issue, if perhaps, someone attacked your router and destroyed it in the middle of a counter-strike match or a WoW arena matchup, for example.

  22. But... on A Virtualized Linux System For Windows · · Score: 3, Funny

    Does it have native support for wine?

  23. Re:Trends or Crutches? on Do Static Source Code Analysis Tools Really Work? · · Score: 1

    Would you consider a fighter Jet to be a crutch? You certainly don't have to know all the inner workings of it to pilot it. If you did, we'd have a serious shortage of pilots. (and yes, I know they do know a LOT about their planes)

    Truth be told, BASIC doesn't make you stupid. Programming in C doesn't make you smarter. They're just tools.

  24. Re:What can T-Rays do? on Room Temperature Semiconductor of T-Rays · · Score: 3, Funny

    And the real kicker is that One T-Ray can beat the crap out of three velocirays in any standard unit of fight.

  25. Re:Not very complete on The World's Spookiest Weapons · · Score: 1

    You want to invade Somalia or something?
