    Heh heh, yeah some people just don't have that... uhh... you know... a sense of humour.

  2. Re:more work to do on CA's $1mn Open-Source Bounty Results · · Score: 1

    Ahem...

  3. Re:Degrading. on Company Takes Stand Against Booth Babes · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sometimes you just got to work with what you got. Some women got a whole lot of ugly on em.

  4. There are still great games being made! on Game Developers Fear Hollywood-ization of Gaming · · Score: 1

    If you don't want to play Madden 2021 and Halo 6 then you don't have to! To many people the golden-age of video games is the NES/SNES days, or the ULTIMA and SIMCITY 1 days on for PC gamers. This is after the reflex/memorization only games of atari but before the games got overly graphics oriented. It's now actually a hell of a lot easier to make a sidescroller or overhead rpg then it used to be when the game was coded in assembly. Here's a list of a few one man or small team games that are pretty damn amazing and fun to play.

    http://www.avernum.com/ -ultima only bigger and buggier!
    http://www.freeciv.org/ -not exactly eye candy, but good
    http://www.chroniclogic.com/gish.htm/ -inovation!
    http://www.dominategame.com/website.php?/ -addiction!

  5. Re:Very NICE press release! on Motorola Debuts Nano-Emissive Flat Screen · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah kinda like those old DVD comercials that were on VHS tapes.

  6. Re:Snide remark on Internet Hunting Banned in California · · Score: 1

    It's just that we don't need animals for food and resources anymore. Hell I eat LOTS of animals but if vegetarian foods were more readily available (they are? - I mean even MORE) I could easily do without the tasty tasty critters.

  7. Re:Defense - DOH! on Internet Hunting Banned in California · · Score: 1

    Or maybe some spelling/grammar technology integrated with slashdot.

  8. Defense on Internet Hunting Banned in California · · Score: 1

    I be surprised one bit if the government buys this this technology for sentry guns. Look for a beta version in the sequel to America's Army.

  9. Re:RIM on Microsoft to Attack RIM with Magneto · · Score: 5, Funny

    What do they call employment at RIM?

  10. Bittorrent on Initial ROTS Reviews Hit the Internet · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah but I can't even find the bittorrent yet.

  11. Hmmm... on Linux on HP Thin Clients. · · Score: 1

    my toughts exactly!

  12. Re:typecast on Dr. Who Series Star Quits · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I guess that makes sense, I think the worst case of this extreme typecasting would be Ernest P. Worrell AKA Jim Varney.

  13. typecast on Dr. Who Series Star Quits · · Score: 1

    I never really understood the fear actors have of being typecast. If you are fit for the role, and the audience wants to see you in that role than why not stay with the character?

  14. Re:Expect more of this on Google Building Tech Center Near Portland · · Score: 1

    I really don't see why this isn't more popular already. I mean, you'd have to make more than double to live comparitively in San Francisco as you would in rural Oregon. What's the difference? A few high speed lines, and what else do you need for a software/tech company? Hell try comparing Winnipeg to Toronto. I don't see the benefits of having a company located in a major urban centre.
