  1. Re:Well on Holocaust Dropped From Some UK Schools · · Score: 1

    It's not that he's one of the most powerful, he just shouts the loudest.

  2. Re:Sunshine and ridicule would work wonders on Holocaust Dropped From Some UK Schools · · Score: 1

    (to religon): You wany the truth?
    You can't handle the truth!

  3. Re:Truth vs Facts on Holocaust Dropped From Some UK Schools · · Score: 1

    Truth is a loaded word that not even philosophers can agree on.
    Philosophers are idiots anyway.
  4. Re:Your Fox post was flamebait. on Holocaust Dropped From Some UK Schools · · Score: 1

    Damn Americans using the word liberal. Liberalism is being opposed to dictatorships, not opposed to conservatives.
    Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal and http://www.politicalcompass.org/. While your there take the test.

  5. Re:Heh on Copying HD DVD, Blu-ray Discs May Become Legal · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Stupid lack of mod points.
    Someone mod above funny for me, please.

  6. Re:Nothing to see here... on Holocaust Dropped From Some UK Schools · · Score: 1

    Newspaper.
    For the Daily Mail only one half of the word is true.

    BTW, any suicide bombers reading /. may want to first consider reading about the Hashshashin, a Muslim religious sect of assassins, in many ways the opposite of suicide bombers. Their targets were imperious and usurper leaders, and the leaders of the crusades on both sided. They preferred to kill using daggers rather than poisons or bows, and were extremely careful not to cause any additional casualties and would never commit suicide.

  7. Re:Sounds familiar on How Bad Can Wi-fi Be? · · Score: 1

    There is: Yeah, all those climatologists (the overwhelming majority, that is) are in fact Euro-agents out to trash the American economy!

  8. Re:Exactly the opposite... on Smithsonian 'Toned Down the Science' In Climate Change Exhibit · · Score: 1

    Well, it could be tested...



    ... but that would involve a certain amount of time travel.

  9. Get a decent ISP on ISPs Hate P2P Video On-Demand Services · · Score: 1

    Get a decent ISP that doesn't throttle: mine's http://www.madasafish.com/?ref=4226792
    If you use that link I'll get some money and you'll get a discount!

  10. COOLNESS on Spy Drones Take to the Sky in the UK · · Score: 1

    I have now seen one of these in a newspaper, I have one word: COOLNESS!
    I bet all the police are fighting over who gets to use them.

  11. Re:shame for soccer fans on English Premier Football League Sues YouTube · · Score: 1

    The money from shirt sales doesn't go to the Premiership itself, it goes to that team.

  12. Re:Enough Already on Star Wars, the Lost Interviews · · Score: 1

    On the subject of revisionist, the poll seems to have disappeared!

  13. Re:DON'T BREATHE THE VAPORS!!!! on Can CDs Be Recycled? · · Score: 1

    The fluorescent light tube is not a good thing to microwave, it contains that most wonderful of substances: Mercury vapour.

  14. Re:Most interesting thing was the Wii as wife-enab on GDC - Miyamoto Delivers Developer-Focused Keynote · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No. Its good for everybody: EXPANDING markets.

  15. Re:Imagine..... on XP On 8-MHz Pentium With 20 MB RAM · · Score: 1

    Ooh, we've got a VIC-20, could try it if you like.

  16. Re:4D black donut? on Atom Smasher May Create "Black Saturns" · · Score: 1

    I'll take the Gravity Gun and hide out in a DIY store

  17. Re:Graphics processing power on Inside the Lucasfilm datacenter · · Score: 1

    Just found myself another link of this http://www.nhk.or.jp/digital/en/superhivision/inde x.html

  18. Graphics processing power on Inside the Lucasfilm datacenter · · Score: 1

    The majority of Lucasfilm's processing power is used for Graphics generation for ILM (unlike say Google). I think the hidden message of this article is they could get a huge screen and projector, play, for example, Crysis on full settings including 64x Antialiasing and Anisotropic Filtering, at 4320p with 22.2 surround sound and say to Sony, "Thats TrueHD!"

  19. Like I said on Destructoid on Sony's Phil Harrison To Give GDC Speech · · Score: 1

    I'd rather go to Miyamoto's keynote speech, even if he's speaking Japanese.

  20. Re:New energy source? on Pentium 4 631 Overclocked to 8 GHz · · Score: 1

    Solved the energy crisis and global warming you have. (well CO2 emmissions anyway: that level heat could cause further global warming)

  21. A test of fair use on The First HD DVD Movie Hits BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Well several tests actually. 1. I already own Serenity on DVD, hence would it be fair use to download this? 2. If I bought this on HD-DVD, but not owning a player downloaded this to watch on my computer would that be fair use? Also, great film to be the first. (Yes! a record!)

  22. Good DRM eg Steam on Alan Cox Files Patent For DRM · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There are a few examples of good DRM such as with Steam. This allows you to install on as many computers as you want and doesn't suffer the Music related problem of incompatibility of devices.

  23. Top 3 on Slashdot's Games of the Year · · Score: 1

    #1 Zelda Twilight Princess (only got GC at the moment) #2 HL2 Ep1 (divide the total awesomeness by the length and you get a really high number) #3 Company of Heroes (looks brilliant and plays just like a wargame but in real time and with PHYSICS) #4 Garry's Mod (for £6, fantastic fun! I love the exchange rate) Didn't think Oblivion was that good.

  24. Sign this on UK Wants To Ban Computer-Generated Child Porn · · Score: 1

    All citizens of the UK sign this http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/juggle/. Everyone else should check it out, and I recommend Americans form a similar petition to Dubya

  25. Fine so far on Firefox 3 In Alpha · · Score: 1

    Been using just the alpha for about a week. Not a single crash or even a bug, which strangely enough is less than my average for FF2.0 in a week, although that could be due to not using many extensions. No bugs in a week of testing is very good for an alpha.
