  1. Re:Hail 2006 on EA's E3 Lineup · · Score: 1

    The new Super Mario Bros. is slated for release on May 15, 2006, according to Nintendo's American website. Now seeing how that's a couple of weeks away, I have my doubts.

  2. Re:Darn! on Kingdom Hearts II Review · · Score: 1
    If the "over-merchandise" by making an enjoyable game, all the power to them. Don't dismiss something instantly because it involves over-merchandized characters or ideas.

    Buy the good stuff like this game and ignore the crap (and there's a LOT of disney crap), and maybe they'll learn to make better merchandise for their films.

    But they probably won't. But still you get to stop whining and enjoy something.

  3. Re:I am unreligious...but what harm is praying? on Prayer Does Not Help Heart Patients · · Score: 1
    From a biological standpoint, yes. your body is more likely to fight a disease if you mentally think you can get better. And from the purely psychological side, if you're going to die, would you rather despair or at least think you can make it and be optimistic?

    So, is hope good? Hell yes.

  4. Re:I am unreligious...but what harm is praying? on Prayer Does Not Help Heart Patients · · Score: 1

    It's so refreshing to see some sense in slashdot. I'm not religious either, but when my loved ones who are religious are sick, it really does give them hope. So get off your athiest high horses already.

  5. Re:Great Things Happen on New Data Transmission Speed Record · · Score: 1

    But can the German/Japanese data get past the mighty Maginot Firewall?

  6. A better solution (except for the tenvironment) on Torn-up Credit Card Apps Not So Safe · · Score: 1

    The Solution? Fire. And lots of it! Try taping all that ash together, jerks!

  7. Re:Wait a sec... on ISP Fined $5000 For Hate Content · · Score: 1

    Every forum I've ever seen specifically notes that they aren't responsible for the posts, including /. . RTFA, the supremacist in question owned the ISP. Which means it IS their responsibility. As a Canadian I'm happy about this ruling. As for the comments I'm seeing here, it's the typical /. fare: They see the words "freedom of speech", start acting like their being oppressed by a militant regime, and don't even care to look into what's going on.

  8. Re:"Orbiter Successfully Enters Orbit" on Orbiter Successfully Enters Orbit · · Score: 1

    But, seeing how 2 orbiters DIDN'T properly enter orbit, it's not a given that an orbiter will enter orbit. Therefore it is news. Just like not all fireplaces cause fires. Otherwise we'd have a very ravaged society.

  9. Re:Other statistics? on 1 Millionth Unique User Logs on to Nintendo Wifi · · Score: 1

    From their point of view, does it matter if people keep on coming back to play one game on WiFi? There's no monthly cost anyway, they don't profit from continued use like Microsoft does.

  10. Re:Americans and Brits aren't so paranoid on University Bans wi-fi as Health Concern · · Score: 1
    The university in question is Lakehead University, in Thunder Bay. Which is in Northern Ontario, which isolated, cold and desolate even by Canadian standards. And that's saying something, eh?

    I hear they just got phones last week, so this "Wi-Fi" is surely the work of witchcraft.

  11. Take Me Out Into the Black on Slashback: Google, China, Network Neutrality · · Score: 3, Insightful
    "Tell them I ain't comin back"

    So I'm a Firefly nerd, sue me.

  12. Re:Education on human rights, liberalism & cap on Google.org to Spend an Initial $1.1 Billion · · Score: 2, Funny
    persuading them to depose their theocratic / despotic / fascist / socialist / puppet Governments

    Google's first goal should be to invade sweden and stop the spread of strangely named furniture. All Hail the GoogleArmy Beta! Invitation Only!

  13. Re:That's right on Google Stands Ground on Google.cn · · Score: 1

    The (limited) service is given to Chinese people. They're not all "evildoers", so why deny them service, or at least as much service as possible? Sure they can't look up Tiannemen Square, but they can still google for a recipe or such.

  14. Re:Error #236563 on Bill Gates Defends Google's Censorship In China · · Score: 1

    Basically, what it means is that some information is better than no information. Seeing how Google's options were allow Chinese censorship or to just allow no information. So this situation is better than the "total censorship" of the service not existing at all.

  15. Re:Oh no! on NASA Probes Shuttle Oxygen Leak · · Score: 1

    Oxygen IS really dangerous. It's the fuel for every combustion reaction (hence why it is in the fuel to begin with), and can explode. And if it's leaking, the explosion may no longer be directed in the way you want it, and suddenly BOOM! no more shuttle, no more crew, etc.

  16. Re:Classic Slashdot link on DIY LCD Backlight Repair · · Score: 1

    "one of the most toxic substances around" pfft, mercury vapour. you can do a lot worse than mercury. And ac'mon, it says the difficulty is "novice" in the article! There's hardly any close shaves or guesswork at all! Websites don't lie, especially not one's linked on /. !

  17. Re:Is it safe? on The 11 Year Soap Bubble · · Score: 1

    organic molecules are anything primarily consisting of carbon and hydrogen. They don't necessarily have to have a "carbon ring", it can just be a chain of carbon molecules. Sorry. Those organic chemistry classes i have to take to get my chemical engineering degree do drive me a bit mad, i have to correct mundane things like that.

  18. I am getting sleepy... on Hypnosis Gets Positive Recognition · · Score: 4, Funny

    ...Open source is the best solution for everything. I will use open source, O great slashdot ...

  19. Re:not hydrogen power! on Truckers Choose Hydrogen Power · · Score: 1

    This is true, this is using a product of a reaction to assist in allowing more reactants to react.

  20. Re:They still don't get it on Trek Producers Will Provide World A Break · · Score: 1

    Yes, but the series Enterprise has something too, it's humanity's struggle to make its mark in the universe, and they're potrayed as meek, shaky children compared to the established races. It's a tale of how they struggle their way up to the eventual greatness of the Kirk and Picard eras (let's just forget about the other 2 series). As an engineering student, it's inspiring to see a story of struggle with technology and diplomacy.
