  1. Re:America hated video games... on 20 Years of NES · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Yes, if you read TFA, they mention the crappiness of ET as a reason so why is this getting modded "Funny".

  2. Re:Is television THAT important? on Congress Pays You $3 Billion to Keep Watching TV · · Score: 0, Insightful

    And since when does your internet account keep you from dying?

  3. Re:Double-edged sword on Gmail Becomes Google Mail in the UK · · Score: 0

    That would explain why Homeland Security has been hacking your email account.

  4. Re:Disbarrment on Jack Thompson Calls Cops on Penny-Arcade · · Score: 0

    Maybe you should do some research on McCarthy yourself. He singlehandedly saved our country from the communist threat. Don't listen to all the liberal bs spin that turns this hero into a lunatic. Please don't put this hack Thompson and McCarthy in the same sentence.

  5. No thanks on BBC Announces Adult Doctor Who Spin-Off · · Score: 1, Funny

    England, where crossdressers are hilarious (see Family Guy), has now decided on a Doctor Who spinoff that features a bisexual. Don't worry BBC. I won't be getting the torrent of that show.

  6. Re:More than twice, my narrowminded friend! on The Princess Bride Musical · · Score: 0

    You can write 5 more paragraphs if you want but the fact remains that if this isn't a chick flick then it's a children's flick. No self-respecting heterosexual masculine male can still be talking about this movie. This reminds me of the Domino's Pizza commercial where the two guys are watching home shopping network on figurines and they're like "There's only 19 left!" and the guy answering the door to get the pizza from the hot delivery girl is like "They're statues!"

  7. Re:Am I on the right site? on The Princess Bride Musical · · Score: -1

    That was my first question as well. What the heck is this article doing on slashdot?

  8. Re:time shifting vs. archiving on Pay-Per-View to Provide DVD After Viewing? · · Score: 0

    Face it. This guy is just a troll.

  9. Re:As a psychologist on Anxiety Disorders Discoverable by Blood Test · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    What you've observed? heh. No competent psychiatrist gives benzos for long term anxiety control (outside of panic attacks). SSRI's are the drug of choice. Benzos are only good for short term use given their somewhat addicting properties.

  10. Re:Who wants a new video format anyway? on Why Microsoft Hates Blu-ray · · Score: 0

    I prefer DVD too because of the fact that backups are so easy to make. However, HDTVs are starting to take off and people want to buy discs that can take advantage of the increased resolution.

  11. They asked for it on HBO Attacking BitTorrent · · Score: 0

    I actually have no desire to watch this perverse show. However, since HBO is actively trying to block people from downloading it, I've changed my mind. It's now my goal to have it downloaded by this weekend. Everyone knows that's the oldest marketing trick in the book. Make something hard to get so that people want it even more.

  12. Re:I for one, Welcome our Influenza Overlords on Researchers Reconstruct 1918 Flu Virus · · Score: 0

    What gave you the idea that we magically have an immunity to the 1918 flu virus or that our current antivirals (which supposedly are already having difficulty with the current flu virus) would be effective?

  13. Far Left Liberal on Bush Supreme Court Nominee Former Microsoft Lawyer · · Score: 0

    As a conservative, I'd rather have Bill Clinton appointing the next Supreme Court justice than Bush. This woman is far left.

  14. Re:Floppy mitral valve on Heart Surgeon Takes Notes from da Vinci · · Score: 0

    The usual treatment is to do nothing. It's usually clinically insignificant.

  15. Best Buy SUCKS on Best Buy vs. The Game Makers · · Score: 0

    I will never shop at that pos best buy again. They had a sale a couple weeks ago where games were as low as 99 cents but mostly $5 or $10. Well my stupid best buy claimed that they knew nothing about the sale. Cleverly, the only games that I found that were supposed to be on sale were hidden in out of place locations. Those bastards knew good and well there was a sale, they just weren't interested in participating and just in case someone got adamant, they hid all the sale items. I mean seriously, how is best buy not gonna have a copy of paper mario 2?

  16. Re:My first thought? on Reports of Cyan's Death Greatly Exaggerated · · Score: 0

    Sabin was the only essential. With that powersaw move, he was unstoppable.

  17. Re:30 GB or 15 GB? on Blu-Ray Attacks Microsoft, Microsoft Bites Back · · Score: 0

    It's 30 GB on 2 LAYERS, not 2 SIDES. Most/Many DVD's are dual layered.

  18. Re:It's not surprising t hat World Net Daily on Stem Cells Restore Feeling In Paraplegic · · Score: 0

    Seeing as how Farrah is Arab, I'm not sure why he would care about a white woman.

  19. Re:When all is said and done, HD-DVD will win on Microsoft, Intel back HD DVD over Blu-ray · · Score: 0

    I'm pretty sure that blu-ray recorders have been available in Japan for over a year.

  20. Re:XBox vs the PS3? on Microsoft, Intel back HD DVD over Blu-ray · · Score: 0

    And yet you still haven't learned how to spell blu-ray after a million slashdot posts?

  21. Re:Just me? on Revamping the Movie Distribution Chain · · Score: 0

    I used to think the same thing until I realized what a DRM (DUM - Digitally Useless Media) nightmare these new formats are. Supposedly the movie companies will be able to disable your blu-ray player if it detects an unauthorized disc. And forget backups because supposedly they'll keep changing the "CSS" or whatever they'll call it, thus necessitating an internet connection. I hope the DVD format is here to stay because it's easy to make copies/backups of your movies.

  22. What is a right? on Playing CDs a Privilege Not A Right · · Score: 0

    Consumers purchasing your garbage, ahem , music is a privilege, not a right, Mr. RIAA.

  23. Re:News? on Current-Gen Price Drop and 360 Shortage · · Score: 0

    We have heard of emulators. However, we like to collect old games. Nothing like putting an original Super Mario Brothers cartridge in an original NES.

  24. Re:I am not excited on XBox 360 Launching Nov 22 · · Score: 0

    Revolution may not even be the name of the bloody thing? Wow, that changes everything because if it turns out it has a different name, I don't think I can buy it. Cheerio and enjoy your tea and crumpets. Long live the queen and all that stuff, brit.

    13% is incredibly high. That represents at least two patients everyday that are upset with him or his office.
