  1. Crazy mods on Putting Star Wars to the MythBusters Test · · Score: 1

    Insightful? Come on. It would be obvious to a monkey that's the entire point, why does it need to be explained?

  2. Re:That Tauntaun thing... how to test it on Putting Star Wars to the MythBusters Test · · Score: 1
    non-haired large animals (like seals)
    Seals have fur. Try something like a dolphin, or a small whale.
  3. Dammit! on Cisco Eyeing Tivo/Nintendo for Buyout? · · Score: 1

    My instructor said nothing about flying turtles. Great. Do you know what section of the curriculum that was?

  4. Re:Missing the most crucial test on Wine vs Windows Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    I played Half-Life 2 on Cedega and it worked very well. Definitely worth the $5/month fee for an update subscription. I opened up CS:Source to see if it worked but I never tried anything past the menus, although I'm sure it plays great.

  5. Re:Maybe a grain of salt, but it's what I'd predic on Wine vs Windows Benchmarks · · Score: 1
    For instance Unix will let you modify a core file that will make your computer reboot as soon as it starts up.
    Likewise, Windows lets you modify core files and cause the computer to crash as soon as it starts up, no matter what you do. At least with Linux you can pass it a boot option to go into runlevel 2 instead, and then quickly fix it or at least get your stuff off the drive.
  6. You are awesome on Wine vs Windows Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    I wish I had a "+1 LOL Gotcha!" mod for everyone else who replied to you.

  7. Re:Where's the "podcast"??? on IPv6 Readiness Report · · Score: 1

    "Podcast" is really just a fancy word for "streaming audio".

  8. Re:Microsoft to support file sharing? on Buy Vista or Else · · Score: 1

    It's not really a "file-sharing network" as you imagine it to be, it just hooks up the computers with Wi-Fi. If you had a bunch of ethernet cables and a hub you could do the same thing.

  9. Re:A little bit softer now on Massively Multiplayer Games For Dummies · · Score: 1

    In WoW, there is a hidden instance on Developer's Island only accessible to level-60 characters where you battle Chuck Norris. Everybody who has played failed because they die as soon as Norris uses his Roundhouse Kick.

  10. Re:What's missing? on Nintendo Announces DS Lite · · Score: 1
    Can you imagine the size (thickness, mainly) they could have made the GB Micro if GBA carts were the size of DS carts?
    *sigh* - If only razor blades weren't sharp.
  11. Re:Eh? on Nintendo Announces DS Lite · · Score: 1

    Because contrary to popular belief, most posts on Slashdot are well written and well thought-out. The ones that get modded up, at least. And this is the last you will hear from me because I am tired of talking to someone who thinks posting a "mangled garble of crap" is acceptable.

  12. <Jack Thompson> on Hot Coffee Makes List of Dumbest Business Moments · · Score: 4, Funny
    it makes you want to break stuff
    Obviously, the effects of this extremely violent and sexually explicit game have taken their toll on you.</Jack Thompson>
  13. Re:Maybe not... on Classic Game Endings Online · · Score: 1

    Final Fantasy II in the US was actually Final Fantasy IV. (It's the one with Cecil the Dark Knight, right?) You could buy the GBA port of the game, and play whenever you have time.

  14. Slashdotted on Classic Game Endings Online · · Score: 1
    Welcome, Slashdotters... You have successfully pounded our servers into submission. They give up.
    :(
  15. Eh? on Nintendo Announces DS Lite · · Score: 1

    If you rewrite your post with actual sentences, maybe I will be able to understand and answer.

  16. Re:Worst use of SVG ever on A Statistical Review of 1 Billion Web Pages · · Score: 1

    There's nothing wrong with encouraging. What's wrong is the fact that we're entirely excluded until some body out of our control includes it into the browser we use. And it's hardly standard if only a couple browsers are capable of displaying it, and (from what I hear) not very well either.

  17. Slideshow on New Media Experience Coming to PSP · · Score: 1

    And by "digital interactive comics" they mean "slideshow".

  18. Re:One thing at a time please! on Microsoft to Enter Handheld Market? · · Score: 1

    According to Wikipedia, Blackcomb is scheduled for a 2011 release, although that will definitely be pushed back.

  19. Re:Why Nintendo Isn't Just for Kids on 35% Of Parents Game · · Score: 1

    Ah, Mario Party. I never would have imagined that my mom would tell me to stop reading a book and come play a video game.

  20. Re:Now this I could live with on Microsoft to Enter Handheld Market? · · Score: 1

    Microsoft has never pioneered, and probably never will. Every market they have success in, they waited until it was apparently profitable, and then bought or shoved out the nearest competitor.

  21. Re:Ants on Snails Hitched Ride on Birds to Cross Atlantic · · Score: 3, Interesting

    There are no native ants on Hawaii. All were introduced by Europeans. It's probably true for a few other islands also.

  22. Yes, of course. on Nintendo Announces DS Lite · · Score: 2, Informative

    Considering that it is a DS, it will probably be able to run DSLinux. I think they even have the touch screen working, but there's not much you can run considering the unit only has 4MB of internal memory.

    It looks like the site is having some database problems right now, I hope those clear up soon.

  23. Re:Finally! on Nintendo Announces DS Lite · · Score: 1

    The DS has always had a better game selection than the PSP, because it was backwards-compatible with the GBA library.

  24. Re:Sex on Nintendo Announces DS Lite · · Score: 1

    I just wish they could have done it a little later than a month after Christmas. My DS is still brand-new.

  25. Re:Yes! on Is Ethanol the Answer to the Energy Dilemma? · · Score: 2, Funny

    So what can you do?
