  1. Re:Ironically on The Register Takes Aim at Wikipedia Again · · Score: 1

    Massively Multiplayer Online Rail Projectile Games?

  2. Well on Coca-Cola's Coffee Soda · · Score: 1
    Coca Cola company has had MANY failed attempts at new soft-drinks recently (although I don't think that the lime-coke was a failure...I don't see them anymore, but people around here were buying tons of them).... maybe they'll get this one right.

    I'm going to give it a try, at least. I do have to wonder how they will blend the two tastes, though. I mean.... coke is sweet, and coffee is bitter... oh well, if they're confident enough to manufacture the stuff, I'm confident enough to try it.

  3. A shame on John Smedley On The New Galaxies · · Score: 1

    It's really a shame that they're doing this to the game. Sony is, once again, pissing me off. It's not fair to all of the gamers who have put so many months into the game.

  4. Yahoo... on Gmail Gets RSS · · Score: 1
    Was Yahoo News one of the default RSS feeds for anyone else? I found that a little odd...

    On a side note, some accounts still don't have it. I've had it for about 5 days now.

  5. This could be a good thing: on Sony's SunnComm DRM Patch a Security Risk · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I think that after Sony loses EVEN MORE money because of this, they may be a little conservative in the future. I still urge everyone to not buy any Sony products (I just talked my parents out of buying a $1300 Sony Camcorder, a $200 Sony car stereo system, and a Sony HDTV that has a price that I don't know). We need to show these guys that WE WILL NOT TOLERATE this sort of shit. These guys are doing whatever they can to make as much money as they can. Let's kick them where it hurts.

  6. WTF? on Song Sites Face Legal Crackdown · · Score: 1
    What's the purpose of shutting down lyrics sites? It makes no sense whatsoever to me. Do the record industries plan on making more money if no one can read the lyrics of their songs?

    Perhaps they're jealous of all the annoying pop-up (redundant, I know...) ads that places like AZlyrics can have. Honestly, I'm LESS likely to buy a song that I can't find the lyrics to (assuming that I heard the song on the radio and didn't catch all the lyrics).

  7. Yay! on Google Fixes IE Bug · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Props to Google for taking responsability and fixing this so quickly. They could have spent a few weeks blaming Microsoft (their competition), as I thought they would, but they didn't.

  8. How reliable is this stuff on Device Stops Speeders From Inside Car · · Score: 1

    How reliable is this? If it were to malfunction, couldn't this cause some pretty massive wrecks? How can we trust this? Where can I buy a tin-foil hat for my car?

  9. Eh? on Tivo To Also Offer Ads Your Way · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I thought one of the biggest selling points of TiVo was to NOT have to see ads... at least, that's one of the main points that people have made about buying one.

  10. I'm dropping my bellsouth service on BellSouth Wants to Rig the Internet · · Score: 1

    I've been a loyal bellsouth customer for several years. My landline costs me roughly $70 a month. I've also got their internet service. Sorry Bellsouth, but I'm not buying from you any more. You sound too much like Sony.

  11. Re:Great movie on Star Trek Spoof Top Finnish Movie · · Score: 4, Funny

    Heh... well, I watch most of the stuff that I do for the cheese. Why else would I watch Star Trek: TOS? What, do you think battle scenes between Kirk and Klingon soldiers to be action-packed?

  12. Star Wreck... on Star Trek Spoof Top Finnish Movie · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's quite good, I'm told. I've not got access to broadband, but I hear that it will be coming to DVD (not that anyone expects to make any money off of it). I'll be getting it, and from what I've heard it's one of those movies that I would buy on DVD even if I DID have access to broadband. I encourage anyone who has any intrest in it to check it out.

  13. Hmm... on Movies in Fifteen Minutes · · Score: 1

    I don't see many books on Slashdot that I'd actually buy, but this one looks to be a little ammusing. Kind of reminds me of some uncyclopedia articles.

  14. Website says it.... on Mozilla Firefox 1.5 RC3 Released · · Score: 1
    As of last night (when I submitted the story), the official site mentioned it.

    Anyways, I can't see much different in this version, but it's supposed to fix some bugs.

  15. Agreed on IT Workers Worst Dressed Employees · · Score: 1
    I used to work at a school, and I was easily one of the better-dressed people there.

    I was an exception, however, as my co-workers were kind of weirded out that I didn't wear shorts or T-shirts to work.

  16. Re:ESRB.... :( on Nintendo Puts Emphasis On Parental Control · · Score: 1

    Honestly, playing a violent videogame DOES NOT MAKE YOU A VIOLENT PERSON. If that were true, I'd probably be in jail at the moment. I just wouldn't want my kids exposed to things like drugs at an early age (I'm talking 9-10 here).

  17. ESRB.... :( on Nintendo Puts Emphasis On Parental Control · · Score: 1

    The ESRB makes me sad. How about giving Violence, Drugs, etc. different ratings? I would let my kids play most things that might get an "M" for violence, but not an "M" for drugs or sexual content. I seriously hopes that Nintendo rethinks this.

  18. Errr... on Xbox 360 Hardware Disassembled and Analyzed · · Score: 3, Informative
    The link doesn't work...

    Try here: http://www.anandtech.com/systems/showdoc.aspx?i=26 10

    But isn't this old news? I know I've read about all of this AT LEAST a month ago...

  19. Livejournal? on Blog Software Smackdown · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Is there anythign wrong with Livejournal? I'm not a big fan of most of the blogs there, but the interface is really easy to use... The article doesn't mention any negatives to it...

    And I've also gotta mention Xanga here... I HATE Xanga, but a lot of kids that I know have learn HTML because of it.

    EXAMPLE OF WHY I HATE XANGA: http://www.xanga.com/capntomakeithapn

  20. "The man who will save the internet"? on Meet the Man Who Will Save the Internet · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "Internet Governance" is what will kill the internet.

  21. Re:Holy sequels Batman! on 360 Launch Lineup Released · · Score: 1
    It makes sense to release sequals, though... how else are you going to get people who don't read game reviews to be EXCITED about buying the game?

    1.People see Perfect Dark 0

    2. People remember Perfect Dark

    3. PROFIT!!!

  22. Nobody buys a hybrid ONLY to save money... on The Math Behind the Hybrid Hype · · Score: 1
    No one that I can think of has bought a hybrid car to JUST save money. To most of them, they're buying them ONLY to be a bit nicer to the enviroment.

    "The only winner here is the enviroment"?

    GOOD.

  23. Re:They're rioting because they're troublemakers on French Riots Lead to Crackdown on Blogs · · Score: 1
    ...And that's just going to lead to an uprising. If you really believe they are wrong, then you don't want this to happen, right?

    Also, if they shoot them, I would HOPE that neighboring countries would look into it and see if these people really are being descriminated against.

  24. This would be fun... on RISK The Game On Google Maps · · Score: 4, Funny
    If I had any friends to actually play with :(

    Isn't the purpose of the computer to replace them?! Then why are there no bots!

  25. Re:It's about time on Mobile Fuel Cells Soon? · · Score: 1

    Notice the "After carrying it around all day". It's the Samsung SCH-A670... actually a pretty decent little phone. Also, I do tend to send quite a few text messages during the day...
