  1. Re:All trekkies on Star Trek Premiere Gets Standing Ovation, Surprise Showing In Austin · · Score: 1

    but the characters stayed intact and it had some redeeming moments.

    Paraphrased
    Picard: Mr. Worf, is that a zit?

    Worf: Sir, I'm going through puberty!

    Paraphrased 2
    Crusher: Deanna, do you feel like your boobs are bigger. *checks herself*

    The whole movie was like this. Insurrection was total crap.

  2. Re:god, another? on Star Trek Sequel Already Planned · · Score: 1

    Really? Is this the best slashdot has to offer for April's Fools? If you ask me it's pretty lame.

  3. Re:Why is there a browser in the music player? on iTunes On OS X Finally Has Competition · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So don't get a retarded proprietary music player*.

    * It's not their fault you don't think before you buy.

    So I guess most OSX users won't use it*.

    *It's not their fault that developers don't think about why most of the people are using iTunes when they are trying to compete with iTunes.

  4. Re:Safe Harbor made innovation work on 10 Years Later, Misunderstood DMCA Is the Law That "Saved the Web" · · Score: 1

    ... up to the state to prosecute rather than up to the individual?

    If the state does not prosecute... your move...

  5. Re:No problem here on Diablo III Designer Defends New Look and Feel · · Score: 1

    Game developers over the last ten years have been tied to the idea that something can only be spooky if it's dark brown and gray, and is also a sewer.

    Actually in Quake and Quake II's case, the brown color palette was used to hid the limitations of the game engine better. A good way to see this is to look at the original Half-Life which uses more colors. You can certainly see that the seems in the models are much more apparent.

  6. Re:Here's what they will accomplish: on FSF's "Defective By Design" Targets Apple Genius Bars · · Score: 1

    Stay in your Borders-and-Walls-BSD and let us deliver freedom to the users.

    Whom have you (or the FSF) freed by this stunt?

  7. Re:This is harassment on FSF's "Defective By Design" Targets Apple Genius Bars · · Score: 1

    this is blatant harassment and possibly borderline terrorism.

    You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

    You quoted 8 words. Perhaps it would be more constructive to identify which word you are referring to.

  8. Re:lame on Firefox Breaks 8 Million, Gets Into Guinness · · Score: 0, Redundant

    "Ahh, I see" said the blind man.

    Who picked up his hammer and saw.

  9. Re:Other forms of payment on Blizzard Announces Diablo 3 · · Score: 1

    Blizzard always releases every one of their games for Mac on the same day as the Windows versions

    Apparently you weren't around for the first Diablo release.

    Or the second...

  10. Re:Not even that. on Whatever Happened To AI? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hell, I'd just be happy if they didn't recommend buying the same book/item in a different edition.

    - You bought Moby Dick by Melville (Paperback) you may also be interested in Moby Dick by Melville (Hardcover)
    - You bought Buffy the Complete Series you might also be interested in Buffy Season One

    They are going to have to develop methods to figure out what is the SAME before they ever think about what is SIMILAR.

  11. Re:People don't learn from history on Barack Obama Wins Democratic Nomination · · Score: 1

    Interestingly enough being Catholic until recently was an supposed issue for electability for the presidency. Kennedy was significant in that he was the first non-Protestant president (he was Catholic).

  12. Re:Proxy on Google's Shareholders Vote Against Human Rights · · Score: 1

    I would sell the shares but it's my 401k and all of the available funds are managed by the same company. Is this any different from Google's reaction? Or is that your point?
  13. Re:TFA Interesting on See Who Is Whitewashing Wikipedia · · Score: 2, Informative

    Buffy the Vampire Slayer only has one musical episode. Hate this do this to you, but it is Slashdot. There were actually two episodes with songs in them. The second was one song in a flashback that did not appear in the original musical episode. So his question of which episode is technically valid. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selfless_(Buffy_episo de)
  14. WTF? on CS Programs Changing to Attract Women Students · · Score: 1

    To attract women students to the CS field, 'Moving emphasis away from programming proficiency was a key to the success...' Huh? I know there is more to CS than programming, but isn't this like saying "Let's move away from Calculus to attract more Physics majors"?
  15. Re:I'd rather have... on J.J. Abrams To Direct New 'Star Trek' Film · · Score: 1

    This movie exposed them to be just an enemy like any other.

    I think you misspelled Voyager. Honestly, the Borg were cheapened long before First Contact. At least it had the decency to be entertaining and a good action film.

  16. Re:I can tell you why on Linux Snobs, The Real Barriers to Entry · · Score: 1

    You can't possibly expect that people will start volunteer support jobs.

    You can't possible expect that people will start volunteer software development jobs. Oh wait...

  17. Re:Kvatch is burning on Oblivion's Missing Physics Acceleration · · Score: 1

    Wizards did it... :P

  18. Re:Homer Simpson's Car on Possible PS3 OS Information · · Score: 1

    They get a Segue instead? Sure it doesn't go as fast but it is a lot of fun...

  19. Re:iTunes sucks? on Improve Your iPod with Rockbox · · Score: 1

    There is absolutely no reason to force the user to go through the iTunesDB for basic playback functionality. It's fine if they wanna require it for smart playlists and all that other shit, but to just play songs? Fuck 'em.

    That's funny because my copies of iTunes keep the music in a logical directory structure. You can also check the box that tells it to not move the files on importing, which means you can do whatever you want and iTunes doesn't move them. Your parent was talking about the iPod directory structure not the iTunes one.

  20. Re:iTunes sucks? on Improve Your iPod with Rockbox · · Score: 1

    What is so hard about right clicking a file and choosing "get info" to edit mp3 tags?

    You can also select multiple tracks to edit a field on all of them at the same time.

  21. Re:Actually on Star Trek's Synthehol Now Possible? · · Score: 1

    Actually, how drunk you got could be precisely controlled. The Ferengi originally invented it as a negotiating aid. The person serving it would give himself the mild version while giving his business partner the more potent version. Starfleet later used the milder versions on their starships in order to provide an alternative to the real stuff. The idea being that the officers drinking in Ten Forward often got called to duty unexpectedly. It wouldn't do to have Picard drunk while making first contact.

  22. Re:Making it third party on PS2 Price Cut On The Way? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I love this. Everytime someone says "PS2 was sold at a loss", someone turns around and says that this is groupthink and a myth. Then they "prove" it by linking to a blog with zero references (quite ironic). Seems to me like everyone is off their "gord".

  23. Re:IE and Firefox only for now on Google Calendar · · Score: 1

    I think the GP was trying to point out that the "e" is supposed to be capitalized, rather than identifying speakers from the UK.

  24. Re:DS Lite on DS Web Browser in June · · Score: 2, Funny

    Of course, now that I've ordered one, they'll make the announcement in a few days...

    Thank you. You have done us all a great service :)

  25. Re:move along, nothing to see here.... on SOE Launches Planetside Fodder Program · · Score: 1

    I know very few games with a learning curve shorter than 10 minutes.

    Yeah, but most of them have the (to borrow a literary term) "narrative hook" in the first 10 minutes, that makes someone interested in dealing with the learning curve.
