  1. Attack the Block on Review: Cowboys & Aliens · · Score: 1

    Where's the Attack the Block review? Sounds like that is the real alien genre mashup winner.

  2. Re:Interesting presentation on TED re: Child Safet on Can a Playground Be Too Safe? · · Score: 1

    I've received that book for Christmas last year, most people saw it and were like, "why would you want that?" Then started flipping through the pages intrigued and almost immediately found something they did when they were a kid, be it chemistry or whatever.

    I also have the book Free Range Kids which is also anti-coddling. Good stuff.

  3. Re:"Those who cannot remember the past... on Media Companies Create Copyright Enforcement Framework · · Score: 1

    Pee Tardier?

    I actually thought Tea Bagger was mildly amusing, that's just ridiculously stupid. I bet you write M$, too?

  4. Re:Carmel on Roundabout Revolution Sweeping US · · Score: 1

    My wife and I were in Ireland for a week and I drove 1000 miles.

  5. Re:Porting hardcore JRPGs on Nintendo Trying To Win Back Core Gamers With Wii U · · Score: 1

    That's why a number of gaming outlets who normally wouldn't touch this stuff with a 100 foot pole jumped all over the fan translation of Mother 3 that came out a few years ago.

  6. Porting hardcore JRPGs on Nintendo Trying To Win Back Core Gamers With Wii U · · Score: 3, Informative

    Nintendo of America just announced they will not be localizing Last Story, Xenoblade, or Pandora's Tower to the Wii, even though there was a huge campaign to bring them over.

    This is pretty much the opposite of catering to the "hardcore" gamer crowd, though I guess they probably think that means people who play Call of Duty.

  7. Re:DVR boxes are evil on DVRs, Cable Boxes Top List of Home Energy Hogs · · Score: 2

    This was my main issue with the Motorola DVRs... FIVE YEARS AGO IN 2006!

    How is this not fixed yet? Been torrenting tv shows ever since.

  8. Take the Gen Ed on Ask Slashdot: CS Degree Without Gen-Ed Requirements? · · Score: 1

    It's where you meet women and other interesting people outside your field of study. I liked my CS and math classes, but loved (and hated) some of my general education classes. And who knows, maybe you'll discover another passion and decide to leave CS altogether.

  9. Re:1-2-3-4-5? on The Most Common iPhone Passcodes · · Score: 1

    You're doing the joke wrong.

  10. Re:I call BS on EVE Online Targeted By LulzSec · · Score: 1

    Doubt it, they just opened up an 800 number are simply accepting requests on targets. It sounds like they targeted Escapist because of their recent reporting on their Bethesda hack, but Minecraft and EVE just seems to come from boredom.

  11. Re:One of many on Ars Technica Review Slams Duke Nukem Forever · · Score: 1

    Well, note that it's Unreal Engine 2.5, and not 3 which has been out for something like 5 years now.

  12. First time X-Men viewer on X-Men: First Class · · Score: 1

    I saw this not having seen any of the previous X-Men movies and enjoyed it, found the story between Xavier and Magneto pretty engaging and liked the actors. There was a lot intentional(?) camp though and this has to be the first movie ever where I laughed out loud during a Nazi concentration camp scene. Multiple times.

    January Jones is a seriously awful actor though. I guess the Mad Men writers are really good at hiding that, more props to them.

    I went with someone who was at least familiar with the other movies and some of the comics, and it was cool asking him "so this guy with the chest laser is going to turn into the guy with the eye laser?"

  13. Re:Read the article on Increased Power Usage Leads to Mistaken Pot Busts for Bitcoin Miners · · Score: 1

    Luckily no one reads the articles.

  14. Re:Wow on XBMC4XBOX 3.0.1 Stable Released · · Score: 1

    Yep, I've got two Xbox's myself running XBMC, great piece of software. Might try this out when I get a free weekend... sometime.

  15. Re:Maybe for people who thought AOL was the Intern on When AIM Was Our Facebook · · Score: 1

    lol at the guy who thinks AIM is synonymous with using AOL.

  16. I'm bored on L.A. Noire 'Blurs the Line' Between Story and Game · · Score: 1

    Slashdot blurs the line between article and advertisement.

  17. Re:Not just Square-Enix in a quagmire right now on Square Enix Facing Big Losses For 2010 · · Score: 1

    Just wanted to say: excellent post!

  18. Pentagon whining on WikiLeaks Releases Guantanamo Prisoner Files · · Score: 1

    Wikileaks mocked this Pentagon Press Secretary tweet this morning:

    https://twitter.com/#!/PentagonPresSec/status/62531762345091072

    Thx to Wikileaks we spent Easter weekend dealing w/NYT & other news orgs publishing leaked classified GTMO docs http://1.usa.gov/fWbGED

  19. Re:and how will this work on Intel Confirms That Android 3.0 Is Coming To x86 Tablets · · Score: 1

    Keep up looking out for the little guy for us all. Thanks!

  20. Re:Police often violate 4th amendment rights.. on Michigan Police Could Search Cell Phones During Traffic Stops · · Score: 1

    Hey everyone, this guy took Law 30 in high school! Forget the ACLU and their "lawyers."

  21. Re:Or maybe they just aren't selling as well on Dearth of New Nintendo Games Could Indicate Wii 2 · · Score: 1

    I agree with you up until the 3DS. If it was just another DS Lite with simply the 3D as the selling point, this might be true, but this is the next generation portable platform for Nintendo titles and everyone else.

  22. Re:Fitting the Data to the Question on Dearth of New Nintendo Games Could Indicate Wii 2 · · Score: 2

    Pretty much agree. GameCube was released in late 2001 and they're complaining about a drought half a year after that? If anything, that simply indicates the gap between launch titles and the next wave of games. Within 12 months of this "drought" we saw Metroid Prime, Super Mario Sunshine, Zelda: Wind Waker, Animal Crossing, Mario Party 4. And those are just first party titles off the top of my head.

  23. Re:JavaScript is client-side on FSF Suggests That Google Free Gmail Javascript · · Score: 1

    You can do at least one thing with any code you have in front of your eyes, including client side javascript, and that is examine it to see if you can "trust" it. No, you may not have the right to do anything you want with it, but that's within their rights to license the code however they wish. If you don't like how they license their code, don't use their service, find one that meets the four freedoms and live happily.

  24. Re:Get off my lawn on Rock, Paper, Shotgun Call For Worldwide Game Release Dates · · Score: 1

    I doubt you waited years, mostly because then we had little idea what games had actually been released in Japan, let alone if they were good enough to wait for. Yeah, I got SMB3 in 1990, whatever.

  25. Re:I don't understand on Facebook Bans 20,000 Kids a Day · · Score: 1

    From what I understand, they just ban any account that has any content with the word "Bieber" in it.

    Says 20,000 a day, not 20 million.
