  1. Bitchin' fast! 3D on NVIDIA Predicts 570x GPU Performance Boost · · Score: 4, Funny
  2. Re:Diablo III on Ask Blizzard About Starcraft2, Diablo III, WoW, or Battle.net · · Score: 1

    "travel to their own pocket dimension in hell" maybe?

  3. Re:Story? on Cameron's Avatar Trailer Posted · · Score: 1

    Good call. The plot sounded vaguely familiar, but it's been a while since I read that story. Thanks for the reminder.

  4. Re:$514 fee to collect $514 reversal on "Hidden" PayPal Fees Inciting Community Unrest · · Score: 1

    Except that all the seller would have to do is send you an empty box with a tracking numbers after PP asks for shipping confirmation. Suspicious that the tracking information didn't appear/isn't dated until AFTER you filed a complaint? PP doesn't seem to think so.

    Why yes, I have been screwed like this before. Although after bitching at them over the phone for 45 minutes or so they went ahead and refunded my money. Haven't used them since (this was several years ago; not sure if their policies have changed, but I doubt it). PP's "Buyer Protection" is apparently pretty damn worthless.

  5. Re:Probably just the first step on "Hidden" PayPal Fees Inciting Community Unrest · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I have a hunch that they figure out who to side with based on how valuable either party is to them. If you're an infrequent buyer screwed by a big-time seller, kiss your money goodbye, and vice versa. If both parties are frequent users, maybe they just take the hit. If both parties are infrequent users, it wouldn't surprise me to hear that they do what you describe above. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one (oops, wrong shady business on that last one).

  6. Re:Male Nipples... on Major New Function Discovered For the Spleen · · Score: 1

    Just in case. Just in case.

  7. Re:Microtransaction = Cheating on Cryptic's Roper Explains Microtransactions For Champions Online · · Score: 1

    Yes; playing WoW AND having a social life is clearly against the rules.

    Oh, were you referring to the other guy?

  8. Re:Even better! on Atari 1200XL Stacked Up Against a Dell Inspiron · · Score: 1
  9. Re:Cool but does anyone remember... on Experimental Video Game Evolves Its Own Content · · Score: 1
  10. Re:You will have to know tech either way on Tech Or Management Beyond Age 39? · · Score: 1

    'nuth said.

    Out of curiosity, what is the apostrophe (') taking the place of in that phrase?

  11. Re:Its not rocket surgery... on Staying In Shape vs. a Busy IT Job Schedule? · · Score: 1

    Ah, thanks. Interesting bit of trivia.

  12. Re:I am feeling sick... on NASA Suggests Nano Robots To Explore Mars · · Score: 1

    From now on, please reference this instead of Screamers:

  13. Re:Its not rocket surgery... on Staying In Shape vs. a Busy IT Job Schedule? · · Score: 1

    James Fix? Please explain. And before you google that for me, I already tried it and didn't come up with anything that appeared to explain the reference.

  14. Re:Monetizing Battle.net on Blizzard Confirms No LAN Support For Starcraft 2 · · Score: 1

    From what I've read, they are planning on having fees for certain features, but not a subscriprion fee per se.

    Here is a source, although it is somewhat dated by now: http://www.cinemablend.com/games/BlizzCon-08-New-Battle-Net-Will-Have-Fees-12751.html

  15. Re:Sequel to game on other console on Sega Not Giving Up On Mature Wii Games · · Score: 1

    Except that FF games are well known for not having "true" sequels (with one exception quite a bit later on in the series). Assuming the other game mentioned will be a true, direct sequel, this is not a valid comparison at all.

  16. Re:Bugs? on Carnivorous Clock Eats Bugs · · Score: 1

    You can probably remove the bugs pretty easily if you're willing to part with the legs. Probably not much power to be drawn from those, anyway...

  17. Re:WTF on Montana City Requires Workers' Internet Accounts · · Score: 1

    Maybe they get paid by the word?

  18. Re:$250? Owch... on Hands-on With the PSP Go · · Score: 1

    I've been playing Dead Head Fred. Picked it up at a bargain bin price and have been pretty happy with it. Good story and voice acting, but the load times kill it a bit. Could have been a great game with a few changes, but at least the price is right.

  19. Re:Roog! on Philip K. Dick's "Flow My Tears" To Be Filmed · · Score: 1

    Whoever marked this off-topic obviously doesn't know Dick.

  20. Re:Yay on Eidos Announces Thief 4 · · Score: 1

    Between your user name and your post, I am a little confused...

    (And yes, I know The Prisoner).

  21. Re:This article is hoplessly wrong pulp fiction on How an Intern Stole NASA's Moon Rocks · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, presumably the rooms are at least 78% or so nitrogen filled. Maybe they just rounded up?

  22. Re:DRM on Obamas Give Queen Elizabeth an iPod · · Score: 1

    When the president does it, it's not illegal.

  23. Re:Slashdot achievements on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 1

    Jawohl.

  24. Re:M.A.N.T.I.S. on Human Exoskeletons Getting Closer · · Score: 1

    And Exosquad. What about Exosquad?

  25. Re:You Have Stolen From Your Bandmates & the R on Lars Ulrich Pirates His Own Album · · Score: 3, Funny

    Who? Oh, you mean Jeasus.
