  1. Re:GTA version is the "Teaser" on Taser International Sues Second Life Creator Over Virtual Replicas · · Score: 1

    Either way, it's saved them some money.

  2. GTA version is the "Teaser" on Taser International Sues Second Life Creator Over Virtual Replicas · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Just the other day I was wondering why the Taser was called a 'Teaser' in the Nindendo DS game 'GTA: Chinatown Wars'. Now I know. :)
    I was thinking it was just a joke.

  3. Re:a possible idea on Looking To Spammers To Solve Hard AI Problems · · Score: 1

    So basically the solution is to remove all speed limits?

  4. Who's going after who? on German Police Raid Homes of Wikileaks.de Domain Owner · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What happened to the whole "Conroy: Go after our source and we'll go for you" thing?
    Was their bluff called?

  5. No Way!!! on Spectrum Fees May Preclude US Low-Cost Cellular · · Score: 1

    Companies pass on expenses to customers? Who'd have thunk it?!?!

  6. Impulse Noise on Rabbit Ears To Stage a Comeback Thanks To DTV · · Score: 1

    How do rabbit ears stand up to impulse noise interference?
    I would have thought that bringing the antenna inside, closer to power switches would increase the impulse noise problems.

  7. Christian Doom Games on Study Finds Gamers Prefer Control, Competence Over Violence · · Score: 1

    Those Christian versions of Wolfenstein already proved this!
    It was awesome fun running around throwing bibles at enemies (Muslims) and feeding farm animals instead of shooting Nazis!

  8. Lack of Options/Customisability on What Spoils a Game For You? · · Score: 1

    A lot of little things have ruined games for me.
    For instance, I bought Tetris DS for my Nintendo DS recently, hoping for some good old school Tetris gaming, but a lot of the little things they've changed have ruined it for me.
    Like the fact that you can basically hold a piece at the bottom of the screen by rotating it, essentially destroying the fast-paced nature of the game. You can turn-off/change a few of the other game settings, but they don't give the player the option to turn off the one thing that ruins the game for me.
    So I decided to try another game mode (Catch mode), and really liked it... until I found out that the game ends at (from memory) level 25. I'd much rather continue playing higher and higher levels than be forced to beat my high score in a limited number of levels.

    Another thing that really annoys me is the lack of customisable control schemes. Things like not being able to have multiple buttons perform the same actions, no mouse sensitivity, etc. But most of these issues are gone these days.

  9. Re:Harvey Norman? on Efficiency Gains Could Prove Proposed Plasma Ban Shortsighted · · Score: 1

    I was shocked when I saw the words "Harvey Norman" on here. For a second I was thinking they must have expanded into Europe and the US. Still... after looking online it appears they have reached further than I thought.

  10. Only Satellite and Cable? on Most Hackable Coupon-Eligible DTV Converter? · · Score: 1

    I think I'm a little lost. From what I've read trying to understand this topic, it seems that digital TV is only available via Satellite or cable in the US. Is that true? No terrestrial broadcasting?

  11. Alcohol on 90% of Gaming Addiction Patients Not Addicted · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't have an alcohol addiction, I just feel like I fit in better when I'm drunk. So that means I'm not addicted, right?

  12. Yahoo's still around? on Yahoo Changes User Profiles, To Massive Outrage · · Score: 1

    Someone tell them they should schedule something like this every few months to let us know they still exist.

  13. Real Player exploits? on DNS Poisoning Hits One of China's Biggest ISPs · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's a good thing nobody uses Real Player these days, isn't it!

  14. 1978 Called... on VW Concept Microcar Gets 235 MPG · · Score: 1

    They want their futuristic car design back.

  15. Geeks Locate Slashdot Story Very Similar To... on Astronomers Locate Solar System Very Similar To Our Own · · Score: 1

    ... Previous Story. Now here's Tom with the weather.

  16. Re:spoon millionaires? on What You Don't Know About Living in Space · · Score: 1

    What's the whole spoon thing about anyway?

  17. Re:This has been done before on Experiment Shows Traffic 'Shock Waves' Cause Jams · · Score: 1

    I was trying to remember on which site I'd seen all this before. That's the one.
    It was interesting reading about how he was trying to stop the waves, but people kept pulling in front of him.

  18. OS Clock on Astronomers Say Dying Sun Will Engulf Earth · · Score: 1

    I guess that means our operating system clocks only need to work up until the year 7.6 billion.
    Someone work out how many bytes are needed to represent that time.

  19. Re:It almost seemed like a good idea... on Google Interested in Wireless Bandwidth Balloons · · Score: 1

    Who cares about someone "running them over with a tractor".
    I'd be more worried about someone running into it with an aircraft.

  20. Re:WARNING: GNAA on Digital Picture Frames Infected by Trojan Viruses · · Score: 1

    Does it install viruses or anything?

  21. Re:Throttling encryption on BitTorrent Devs Introduce Comcast-Proof Encryption · · Score: 1

    That's the whole reason why this won't work.

  22. Re:unlimited? on Nanowires of Unlimited Length · · Score: 1

    Nothing is unlimited except for unlimity itself.
    Or something like that.

  23. Cockpit on Reaction Engines plan Mach 5 Airliner · · Score: 1

    From the pictures of the aircraft I can't see any cockpit.
    Am I just blind, or is the plane flown completely via instruments and possibly cameras?

  24. Obsolete? But who will... on Sperm Made From Female Bone Marrow, Men Obsolete? · · Score: 1

    ...open jars?

  25. Re:On the theory... on Teleportation — Fact and Fiction · · Score: 1

    Exactly!
    That's why I would always be scared about stepping into a teleporter. :)

    But who knows what kind of technology or quantum physics understandings we may have in the future.
