  1. Preview Weekend on Warhammer Online Open Beta To Begin September 7th · · Score: 1

    While the open beta only starts September 7th, there is a Preview Weekend starting August 22nd to August 25th for everyone who pre-ordered the game.

    I haven't played the game yet but by reading the comments in this thread I'm now really excited to try it this weekend.

  2. Re:If the bubble's back, it will burst soon on Cuil Proves the Bubble Is Back · · Score: 1

    I think you missed the part: So, the moral of the story? Misspell something in google and get relevant data. Do that to Cuil and you get a penis.

  3. Re:Press coverage on The File-System Fallout of the Reiser Verdict · · Score: 1

    It's still on /. front page

  4. Re:French Translation... on Black Hole Particle Jets Explained · · Score: 1

    French speaking nations tend to dislike the literal translation of "black hole" into their language... It doesn't translate well. Do we ? What's wrong with "Trou Noir" ?
  5. Don't complain ... on 10Gb Ethernet Alliance is Formed · · Score: 1

    At least they got it right !

    ... this time anyway.

  9. Re:PC gaming is dying on Why Aren't More Linux Users Gamers? · · Score: 1

    200$ will get you a 8800GT (if you get a good price, about 240$ otherwise). Hell you can even get a case/2GB ram/8800GT for less than 300$. (These links might not work after 2007/03/11, but there are deals like that every weeks)

    That's not medium settings, that's high even in Crysis.

  10. Re:Don't get too excited. on Researchers Transmit Optical Data at 16.4 Tbps 2550km · · Score: 1
    I know you're joking but my ISP is now offering a 50Mbps with a 50GB limit download/upload combined. 1.50$ per additional GB, no limit.

    Remind me again who needs a connection that can only work at 100% capacity for a little more than 2 hours per month ? Only to be charged 50c/s afterward (no limit !!!)

  16. Re:100K deaths on Potential Cure For Antibiotic Resistant Infections · · Score: 1

    Terrorism is dangerous to them, bacteria is dangerous to people.

    You know there's something wrong with democracy when people start addressing their elected representative as them like if they were of another species or something.
    Cue to Douglas Adams lizard quote I guess ...

  18. Re:Excited? on Diablo Movie Now in the Works? · · Score: 1

    I cannot say that I'm excited. But it begs to ask, will we see "Diablo 3: the Movie" game?

    A game based on a movie based on a game ? Oh please kill me now !

  19. Re:It's like what, now? on Raph Koster on Fire · · Score: 1
    It's like dumping the girlfriend who has always been patient and loving to chase after the supermodel who probably won't love you back.

    Umm, yeah, about that.. You're going to need to use an analogy that we here at slashdot can relate to, chief.

    Yeah ! Where's our car analogy ?

  22. I never understood this one ... on Theaters Unhappy About Faster DVD Releases · · Score: 1
    As movie studios such as Walt Disney Co. have pushed for more rapid DVD releases of movies to combat piracy on the Internet

    To me it only means faster DVD rip (read: downloaded version with decent quality, not some crappy CAM or TS) to be available on the internet ... If anything it helps piracy.

  23. Re:Iran is a theocracy on Iran Cracks Down on Bloggers · · Score: 1
    Where is the democracy when the people you can choose to vote for are no one you would choose?

    That sounds familiar
