  1. Re:The legal experts on Slashdot... on eBay Seller Sues Autodesk for $10 Million · · Score: 1

    Well Said. You get my nonexistent/Intelligent Design mod point -> +1 Smackdown!

  2. In my house they are calld M for man games on Study Finds That 'M'-Rated Games Sell Best · · Score: 5, Funny

    My wife says they should be rated IM for immature.

  3. This is actually interesting on Jatol.com Disappears, Stranding Customers · · Score: 1

    I like the drama of this. I really never pay much attention to the fact that where I work our web servers are down the hall. It is interesting to note how the other half lives...

  4. Who Still watches TV on No More TV Listings For MythTV Users · · Score: 1

    I watch tv shows...

  5. Re:It hurts me to say this on Bringing Science and Math Into Writing? · · Score: 1

    Thats exactly right which is why you should look into the Orthodox Church. It has everything a thinking man wants. Personal responsibility, Symbolism, Faith, and most importantly love pure unselfish choice - you get to decide how you relate to God no one else you decide what is a sin. Oh the priest can tell you what he thinks but ultimately in the Orthodox Church it is up to you. Definitely not for people who like to be told what to think. The Churches symbol is a cross not a sword or a book.

  6. Re:Science Fiction - FANTASIA MATHEMATICA on Bringing Science and Math Into Writing? · · Score: 1

    Thanks, Oh and by the way you just made a sale for Amazon....

  7. Re:And.... on Why Myths Persist · · Score: 1

    What is your point? Religion has nothing to do with logic but rather faith. What you said was not insightful but an anticlerical myth.

  8. I feel sorry for your kids on School Kids Get Virtual Web Lockers · · Score: 1

    They will be doing what my kids say....

  9. Why pay $2 for crap when you get HD for free? on NBC Universal Drops iTunes · · Score: 1

    Why?

  10. That guy is greatness. on Game Commentary, With Funny Added - Zero Punctuation · · Score: 1

    He needs to team up with Ms. Webb. You know I was always afraid that I would turn back into a tv watching freak like my parents. TVTonic is doing this. It is scary. I can sit on my couch and watch funny videos and then learn how to make funny videos on my couch. Without cable but with a cable modem of course.

  11. I will wait for Dopeman to crack it on BioShock Installs a Rootkit · · Score: 1, Troll

    Then I will buy it for the cool box. Dopeman takes all the crap out of games for you and leaves pure delight behind.

  12. how about 55 oz cokes made into movies on Warner Bros. to Turn All 15 Oz Books Into Movies · · Score: 1

    What in the world is the movie coming to?

  13. Rating books on The ESRB Doesn't Take Games Seriously? · · Score: 1

    you are right on. It is a parents job to watch what their kids read the books children bring home. If there ever were a ratings board for books I personally would move to Canada and join up with Nerds on Site with the red beetle and everything if that happened. I would even learn French and drive like someone speaking Tullagu while eating a peanut butter sandwich. My parents did not care what I read so I filled my mind with Science Fiction and I became a Nerd. My children will not face this future they are reading classical Greek texts that I download from the Internet. Seriously, my wife is a book nazi she will burn any book that I bring in from a garage sale that she does not aprove of. Also once my daughter read an Unapproved book (some beverly cleary book)- and Mother took away her LOTR collection for a month. This was a grave punishment believe you me as she can quote from them, only recently has she been allowed to read something as lowbrow as Hilery Potter or whatever it is. At twelve she still has only "Suggest" as an option in the library.

  14. comic mischief on The ESRB Doesn't Take Games Seriously? · · Score: 3, Funny

    My twelve year old daughter explained comic mischief to me. It means the characters are sassy to each other. Spyro the dragon 2 had a lot of un-unnecessary annoying sassyness in it. She does not like that in her games. So if I see that in a game now I know..

  15. Of course you get to choose to be Gay on The ESRB Doesn't Take Games Seriously? · · Score: 1

    Set it to C and you can be Gay when you want to be

  16. Made it through college using it. on AppleWorks/ClarisWorks Dies Quietly · · Score: 1

    I loved appleworks. In fact I would really like to get an apple 2e emulator. I would like to run ubuntu with the emulator in full screen to do my creative writing. I really though have not missed used since 1993.

  17. Re:Depends on usage, entirely on Google Pack Adds StarOffice · · Score: 1

    Thanks, I really appreciate your comment, it was well made. You do get what you pay for...

  18. Re:Finally... on Algorithm Seamlessly Patches Holes In Images · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I got this in my head the other day and obsessed about it. I thought this is it. The end of posting any pictures of my kids on line. I thought soon I will want those button sized anti-camera diodes pinned to their shirts like little Orthodox crosses. Of course I thought it through and well what are you going to do? The best thing I can think of is to actually ask the cute girl if she has any pictures of herself naked she may just have some you never know till you ask....

  19. CIA and alien technology on Forensic Analysis Reveals Al-Qaeda's Image Doctoring · · Score: 1, Funny

    Osama is actually a grey. On his planet they crash planes into buildings for fun he was just having a party and things got out of hand.

  20. Isohunt Has better selection of Roms on The Pirate Bay About To Relaunch Suprnova.org · · Score: 1

    Than thepiratebay. Plus it is run by Canadians I love Canandians.

  21. Great idea on FCC to Develop 'Super V Chip' To Screen All Content · · Score: 0

    I guess this will be super ignored as well.

  22. I feel better about high school now on Smarter Teens Have Less Sex · · Score: 1

    wow I always thought it was because I was shy and inarticulate not to mention scrawny obsessed with my computer and constantly reading. Now I know it was because my IQ was to high. Crap, I need my medical marijuana.

  23. Cyber-punk story on Mitsubishi Breaks Up Famous Computer Science Lab · · Score: 1

    Sounds like an aside from a 80's sci-fi novel.

  24. Call me a troll now Mr. Censor on NASA Contractors Censoring Saturn V Info · · Score: 1

    Caught you! sniveling little man, I made a valid point in light of today's contentious times that any censorship is wrong. The idea is to play to strength not to weakness. If the weakness of your position makes you afraid of Foxnews and any mention of the recent censorship drive by Moveon.org causes you to censor like Joe then I have won my point. Cry censor boy cry - take your ball home to the mommy state.

  25. Bush = Evil Censor = Censor Foxnews on NASA Contractors Censoring Saturn V Info · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Lets make sure that Fox news web site does not have any of this data because they would only use it for EVIL.
