  1. Re:It was good. on How Watchmen Killed 'R'-rated Fantasy Movies · · Score: 0

    I'm not against seeing things that are giant and / or blue, but I prefer my movies without penis shots. Call me crazy.

  2. It was good. on How Watchmen Killed 'R'-rated Fantasy Movies · · Score: 0

    It would have been great without the giant blue glowing penis though.

  3. Re:PR nightmare on Apple Support Company Sues Customer For Complaint · · Score: 1

    I wanted to second this. I dropped my iPad and cracked the glass. I took it to an Apple store mostly just to see how much it would cost me to repair.

    They replaced it for free even after I told them the damage was 100% my fault.

  4. Re:There is no expectation of privacy on Recording the Police · · Score: 1

    As someone else mentioned, that happened more than two weeks ago, in April 2010. Two minutes with google shows that in Sept 2010 all charges related to wiretapping were dismissed. The only charges remaining against the motorcyclist were for reckless driving.

  5. Re:Not sure how I feel about this on Wikileaks Booted From Amazon · · Score: 1

    A hosting company also has a right for freedom of speech, and this includes not hosting forms of speech they don't agree with. I'm probably wasting my time though, since that 'given by my creator' bit in your post usually would indicate that you're immune to logic.

  6. Well, Prince did say the internet is over on The 'Net Generation' Isn't · · Score: 1

    Hmm, perhaps Prince was onto something.

  7. Re:Intellectual property theft on Amazon Is Collecting Your Kindle Highlights & Notes · · Score: 1

    They aren't doing it without permission. Please take the time to do more than read the summary before posting your knee-jerk anti-corporate trash.

  8. Re:If not China, why US? on Google Gives the US Government Access To Gmail · · Score: 1

    I assume from your broken English that you're not a native speaker. Which USA-hating country are you from? My guess is China.

    "then I put "Battlefield Earth" in the DVD player" So, you're admitting to owning a copy of Battlefield Earth.

  10. Re:Honor with no Dishonor on World of Warcraft Honor System Live · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Before you fire off a reply with a 'STFU n00b' or 'Cry some more' consider carefully how difficult it will be to run Molten Core, Maraudon, Dire Maul, Stratholm, and the like when you have effectively discouraged most other classes from levelling other than rogues.

    I already see probems for rogues (and hunters) trying to get into groups for high level instances. There are simply too many of them. The problem may get worse with the honor system, but I think it will be self correcting, as people realize that there is too much competition for group slots among rogues and go back to their main characters.

    My main is an Arms/Fury Warrior, and he eats rogues for breakfast, lunch and dinner. So I have no problems with the whole alliance using rogues.

  11. Re:It Will Be Interesting... on World of Warcraft Honor System Live · · Score: 1

    Actually there are no dishonor points or dishonor penalties implemented yet IIRC. The system keeps track of dishonorable kills so that blizzard can identify whether or not to institure penalites.

  12. Re:Some slashdot lore. on Computer Cracks 5x5 Go · · Score: 1

    Go boards can be many sizes, depending on the desired length of the game. I play regularly with a guy at work, we use a 13x13 board and it takes about one lunch hour to complete a game. When we use a 19x19 board it takes almost three lunch hours.

  13. Re:Legal info from a Minnesota Attorney on Driver's Licenses with Digital Watermarks · · Score: 2

    They are not 'undocumented' immigrants. They are fucking ILLEGAL immigrants. They are here ILLEGALLY, ergo they are ILLEGAL immigrants and should be put out of the country for any infraction that brings them to the attention of authorities.

  14. Re:In Korea on SCO Sells First Linux Licenses in UK · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    My sig refers to a few issues: 1. An established prayer in schools, where children are taught to pray to a god they may not believe in is wrong. Schools are places where children are taught to read, write and count using things other than fingers and toes. Public schools (being run by the state) are not places where one religion (usually christian) should be favored over others. 2. Not much thinking goes on in churches, IMO. 3. Mostly my sig is sort a not too subtle troll, to get the holy roller bible-thumping people like yourself all worked up and get your panties in a bunch. Looks like it worked.

  15. In Korea on SCO Sells First Linux Licenses in UK · · Score: -1, Redundant

    In Korea, only old people buy SCO licenses.

    Does anyone else find this statement hard to believe?

  17. Re:Uh? on Wal-Mart Squeezing Record Labels to Cut CD Prices · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I want the unbleeped versions because, if I happen to like a song I want to listen to the thing without having my enjoyment interrupted by a goddamn bleep in the middle of it. If a song has gratuitous profanity, then I'll make the choice to listen or not. When metallica relesed their Garage Inc album, which was a re-release of an EP that has been unavailable in stores for a long time, I picked it up at walmart on the way to work. I was pissed when some of the best songs on the CD's were filled with bleeps, it sounded like morse code in some parts. That metallica would bleep their music to sell more CDs at walmart pissed me off more than the napster thing.

    I've stopped buying CD's at walmart becuase of their policy of selling bleeped music, and then refusing to let me return the CD once I realized that it had been ruined.

    You have an odd way of looking at things. I see this as simply another way for a greedy government to tax it's citizens.

  21. Re:Fallout accelerated storyline to the extreme on Bethesda Licenses Fallout Franchise, To Make Fallout 3 · · Score: 1

    When I was first playing through SS2 I was working as a night time AS/400 operator at a small hospital. I was the only one there so I'd bring my computer to work and play for a couple of hours while the system was doing it's backup and report printing.

    The scary part was when I'd have to go down into the basement, past the morgue to put the backup tapes away. Walking through a deserted hospital basement in the middle of the night after playing SS2 for a couple of hours was not a pleasant experience.

    "while SCO^H^H the offer lasts... "

    What the heck does this mean? I've been using the 'net for about 10 years and I've seen this type of notation many time. I realize the the parent poster is implying that SCO won't be around much longer. From context I assume it's similar to correcting yourself. Why use the ^H^H for this?. I realize this is offtopic and I expect to be modded as so, but I'd like to know the history behind this please.
