  1. Re:If only... on Attack Code Found For Recent Windows Bug · · Score: 1

    Yep, and if my hardware upgraded itself and I didn't have to pay for a license, I might just do that.

  2. Little bit light on details? on Multiple Asteroid Belts Found Orbiting Nearby Star · · Score: 0, Redundant

    What was the method they used for this discovery and how does it work?

  3. If only... on Attack Code Found For Recent Windows Bug · · Score: 1

    If only the writers of malicious programs dropped their Windows XP support when Microsoft does... What are my options when dark day comes?

  4. It's all the tubes fault! on The Internet Is 'Built Wrong' · · Score: 1

    See they should have used something more malleable, like cables, instead of these rigid tubes.

    But seriously, I have used the internet since I was a Freshman in High School, back in '95. Over the last 13 years, I have noted only improvements. And given such a history of success, I think it's a bit too late to claim the design was wrong from the start.

  5. Yes but! on LittleBigPlanet Sequel Already In the Works · · Score: 3, Funny

    Will it contain a music composition set to the excerpts of the Old Testament? The Torah? The Vedas? Come on the suspense is killing me!

  6. My question is. on Ted "A Series of Tubes" Stevens Found Guilty · · Score: 1

    If he had done the right thing and reported all those gifts on the forms, what then? He pays taxes on them and what else? Unless they can tie the gifts to actual favors granted, he would look like a schmuck but would not be in trouble, am I right? Seriously, I want to know.

  7. Re:Isn't this what the internet was suppose to do? on Fictional Town "Eureka" To Become Real? · · Score: 1

    Wait, you are saying Australian government should allow use of the internet for free and uncensored spread of ideas?

    OK OK I know this is redundant given this thread ;)

  8. Re:FCC Rules Part 15 on Why Your Clock Radio Is All Abuzz About iPhones · · Score: 1

    Maybe they don't consider it harmful. But it is annoying as hell.

  9. In other news... on Game-Related Education On the Rise At Colleges · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Education-Unrelated Gaming continues steadily at Colleges.

  10. Re:Of course they'll see a dramatic increase on Interest Growing For Pre-Paid Game Cards · · Score: 1

    Or maybe the kid's parents don't want him playing this type of game... Is this circumnavigating parental permission?

  11. Why is US army concerned about Terrorism in US? on US Army Sees Twitter As Possible Terrorist "Operation Tool" · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Last time I checked combating terrorism in the US is not their fuckin' job. That's what Law Enforcement does. I think posting few of their guardsmen at the airports went a bit to their heads.

  12. I have a Kindle on Amazon Kindle Endorsed By Oprah · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's great. No need to rage about DRM, most of the files I have on it are not from Amazon. Though I'm sure they would like to fix that. You can basically email yourself any text file and it's there.

    Another great feature is the wireless internet, which is now free (through the sprint network I believe), though I doubt it will stay that way forever. But while it lasts I enjoy looking at web pages while traveling on the train for free. It does fairly decent job of converting most pages.

  13. Re:Really? on Evolutionary Scientists Test-Drive Spore, Gripe · · Score: 1

    God forbid those scientists should get a hold of Super Mario Brothers.

    Oh I'm sure Mario and Luigi are not scared of them. Joe the Plumber on the other hand... that's a different story.

  14. While we are on the subject on Hydrogen-Producing Bacteria Could Provide Clean Energy · · Score: 1

    Why not capture the energy used to type and convert it to electricity. Then we can teach monkeys to type. These type-monkeys, or code-monkeys if you will, can provide us with a vastly abundant energy source.

  15. I tohught we already knew... on New State of Matter Could Extend Moore's Law · · Score: 1

    that there was a different state of matter at absolute zero. At least I was under the impression we did.

  16. I find this facinating on Researchers Discover The Most Creative Time of Day · · Score: 1

    It actually mirrors my personal experience. I often wonder why I get such a rush of creativeness just as I'm about to turn in! Now will changing my scheduel around so I stay awake past 10 pm help me get some things done. Or will it just result in me sleeping late into the afternoon...

  17. I can see it working now on Interpol Pushing World Facial Recognition Database · · Score: 2, Funny

    Beard: False

    Next();

    Beard: False

    Next();

    Beard: True

    CheckOsamaBinLaden();

  18. I got news for them on Computers Causing 2nd Hump In Peak Power Demand · · Score: 1

    PC can run on hand crank or hair grease and it still will be far from Green.

    I may be just a tad bitter about technology, because I expected flying cars, limitless energy, and cure for cancer. But the only thing we seem to be getting over the last couple of years is new gadgets and "better" TVs.

  19. Oh yeah they are really going to get at them on Passport Required To Buy Mobile Phones In the UK · · Score: 1

    Oh they will really get under the skin of those terrorists by making them live without the convenience of a cell phone. That's likely to make most of them reconsider their professions. I mean they are used to living in caves with no heat, hot water, electricity or plumbing. But take away their cell phones and they will have had it!

    Yeah that takes care of the foreign terrorists entering UK. But now how do you stop the terrorists who were born and grew up in the UK like the ones responsible for the bus and metro bombings? I'm more than certain hey had their own mobiles, and I doubt in those cases knowing they bought cellphones would have prevented crap.

  20. Re:Told to F-O on TSA Employee Caught With $200K Worth of Stolen Property · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This kind of level of thoughtfulness would require competence. But maybe if we make enough noise they will agree to this, if only as an excuse to raise their budgets.

  21. So how many subscribers they have again? on Vendetta Online Lets Users Create New Game Content · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Seriously, cause when I tried the game there was maybe 20 people online. Only a game with a very small fan base can do this. Imagine if WoW tried something like this.... Not only would they get crazy amount of submissions, but people would end up getting angry their submissions were not accepted.

  22. Re:Different Sony, right? on LittleBigPlanet Delayed Due To Qur'an-Sampling Audio · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's different. Christians don't blow stuff up... anymore... I think...

  23. Re:The L.A. Times article has more detail. on Tesla Motors Shaken Up, Laying Off · · Score: 1

    I'm still on the fence on this. At least until they come out with $99,999 model.

  24. I wonder which nerd on Gamer Plays Over 30 Warcraft Characters · · Score: 1

    has 36 Slashdot accounts.

  25. I've know the most shameless pirates on Stardock Evaluates DRM Complaints, Updates Gamer's Bill of Rights · · Score: 1

    I've known people who pirated a game they spent no less than 2000 hours playing. I do not kid you! To me that's just disgusting. At 3 cents an hour you could have enough money for it. That's repented stealing, and there is no justification for it what so ever.

    If you wish to know what magical game I speak of, while it's Civilization 4 + expansion packs (But not Colonization, that one is terrible).
