  1. For those who haven't RTFA on Study of MMOG Proves Human Interaction Theory · · Score: 5, Informative

    I scanned through it quickly & my understanding is that this is more specifically studying the avoidance of friendships with friends of enemies. That's a little more complicated & interesting than simply 'avoiding stressful relationships'. It is a little obvious, but it says a lot about the formation of social groups & how they become divided.

  2. Re:The question is on Why Apple Is So Sticky · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Apple makes computers.

  3. Seems reasonable to me. on Games Workshop Sues Warhammer Online Fansite · · Score: 3, Informative

    Rather than hopping on the 'Screw GW!' bandwagon, I actually decided to rtfa and look into the situation.

    The site was originally a fan-site, and it was welcomed by GW. Then it was bought out by a corporation called Curse. Curse is running it with intent to make profit. It's common sense that a for-profit site with 'Warhammer' in the name is not exactly fair business.

    It's not a fan-site anymore. It's a corporate asset

  4. Re:a question to ask slashdot smokers on American Lung Association Pushes For Ban On Electronic Cigarettes · · Score: 1

    using my 510 right now. love it. I want to try a DSE901 eventually, because I hear it has more flavor (but is less powerful).

  5. Who cares? on Google Docs Replaces OpenOffice In Ubuntu Netbook Edition · · Score: 1

    Are defaults really that important? I'd assume that, at least for now, anyone using Linux (even on a netbook) is probably savvy enough to install whatever Office apps they personally prefer. I think installing stuff in Ubuntu is even easier than on Windows - you just check it off & seconds later you have it.

  6. Re:Well of Course on XP Users Are Willing To Give Windows 7 a Chance · · Score: 1

    sorry, but i think this is nonsense. Find me a place that actually has demo machines for Win7. I honestly want to know where I could check that out. Everyone I know who's using it has downloaded it on their PC. I have it on my low-end laptop & it's staying there.

    Oh, and in case anyone's wondering, the reason I like Windows 7 is because I'm a soulless human being, fully devoted to Microsoft and getting paid to defend their products etc etc etc.

  7. Re:Correction on 12% of E-mail Users Have Responded To Spam · · Score: 1

    That would mean that 88% of internet users are not retarded..

    Not so sure about that, man.

  8. Re:What next? I'll tell you what's next... on EU Says MS Must Offer Other Browsers; Now What? · · Score: 1

    Having "Or in addition to" as an option is important. That means "Instead of" is probably out of the question. And I think that the way that this is worded actually describes the way Windows already works - I can choose and install a competing browser to use in addition to IE, and I can set it as the default. Is there any specific statement that elaborates upon when/where we get this capability to install other browsers? I just don't see where this technically introduces any new requirements if there isn't anything more specific.

  9. Re:linux shit on Gnome, KDE, LXDE, IceWM All Working On Android · · Score: 1

    I want to be just like you when I grow up

  11. Oh, I see. on Mom Makes Website, Gets Sued for $2 Million · · Score: 1

    Activa claims the website has caused damage to its reputation and launched the lawsuit only after Lanteigne refused to apologize and take down the site. Oh, I see. So they're suing a mother of 3 trying to keep her neighbourhood & kids safe, to protect their reputation. Wait.. isn't that a little counterproductive? They could have fessed up & fixed all of the problems mentioned and kept their reputation, but now I'm sure everyone hates them. Whether they win or not, they're still screwing themselves over in my opinion.
