  1. 500 Yard Gash on The Simpsons Game Tweaks Gaming Companies · · Score: 1

    Itchy & Scratchy cartoon exclusive to that game.

  2. Re:Did any other British readers read this as... on Official - Bungie Departing Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but George is going to be replacing Bill when he leaves.

  3. Re:this leaves one question on Jonathan Coulton Track Part of the Orange Box · · Score: 2, Informative

    Code Monkey. Nuff said.

  4. Re:Typical on The Simpsons Game Tweaks Gaming Companies · · Score: 1

    It is about time someone took the mickey out of some of these games. They are just games for Jebus sake. The Simpsons is probably the only franchise that could get away with it as it takes the mickey out of most things.

  5. Grand Theft Scratchy - Hot Coffee on The Simpsons Game Tweaks Gaming Companies · · Score: 1

    For some sweet cat/mouse lurving!!

  6. Re:nah on Internet Explorer Drops WGA Requirement · · Score: 1

    Even though i am pro M$ (despite having a mac at home) i still find ie7 annoyingly glitchy and counterintuitive. You can't reorder feeds (and sometimes your favourites) in the side bar by drag'n'drop. Sometimes RSS entries need several clicks to launch the relevant article. And don't get me started on the whole menu/toolbar thing.

  7. This patent? on IBM Ditches Outsourcing Patent · · Score: 4, Informative

    Is this the one? In which case all they were patenting was an application that worked out which bits of the company you could outsource. It seems very vague to say the least.

  8. Re:Gay bomb - who tested this? on 2007 Ig Nobel Awards Announced · · Score: 1

    Could be intersting if your foe has some of those 'extreme' fundementalist beliefs. Just the thought of their army 'swapping sides' would be enough to freak em out.

  9. Re:Already fixed in some distributions on Xen Security Issue Patched · · Score: 1

    It all depends who is editor at the moment.

  10. Re:PRAT on James Randi Posts $1M Award On Speaker Cables · · Score: 1

    Perhaps its all part of Gods intelligent design? ;)

  11. Re:And thus begins the jealousy tantrum on George Takei Now an Asteroid · · Score: 1

    Nah, Shatner would be a gaseous nebula.

  12. Re:Tuning a guitar is a ridiculous notion on Self-Tuning Electric Guitar · · Score: 1

    Well said. When you consider ALL the possible sounds you could make with a guitar, saying I can only play these 8 notes is just so limiting. Yeah, it will sound like a guitar solo in C# (.Net fans) but do we really need another one of those? Check out Derek Bailey, Thurston Moore(Sonic Youth), Keith Rowe(AMM), et al.

  13. Planets on George Takei Now an Asteroid · · Score: 1

    Found this list of asteroid names. Looks like anyone can get their name on a bit of rock if they want. Nice to see one called Zappafrank though.

  14. Ironic hackers? on Chinese Security Site Under New Kind of Attack · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Getting the "Chinese Internet Security Response Team" website to deliver malware. Way to go.

  15. Re:overload my ass on Choice Overload In Parallel Programming · · Score: 1

    So, which one should be taught in college? Now justify your choice over ALL the others. It's not really a question of which one do you like and use, its a question of which ones should be taught in the future and possibly become the de facto way of doing things.

  16. Re:Why Blu-Ray? on HD Recorder Can Use Standard DVDs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You could store hi-def content on a floppy disk if you wanted to. The question is does the size of the media allow you to store enough to do anything useful with?

  17. Re:It seems gabe newell... on Valve's Gabe Newell on Apple's Gaming Failures · · Score: 1

    It's alright. The switch to consoles has started and it's only a matter of time before they ditch the desktop all together. Then all them there computers will become irrelevant.

  18. Re:Sounds nice but... on An Overview of the Games For Windows Initiative · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Remember when Steam was released? Everyone complained that you had to download so much software just to browse and buy a game. Over a dial up line.

  19. Re:J2ME on Best Platform For Hobbyist Mobile Development? · · Score: 1

    As long as you don't mind using M$ stuff then windows mobile is quite good. I haven't touched it for a couple of years but it always came with an emulator so you could run your programs without actually having to download them to a real phone. It probably all depends on your language of choice. If you work in VB or C# then its fairly simple to move from the desktop to the 'dog and bone'.

  20. My mistake on Blender Compared To the Major 3D Applications · · Score: 1

    I take it all back, Blender is not an X11 app like I suggested it was. Still it does have a funny menu and the toolbars never seem to draw correctly on my McBook. Looks like an X11 one.

  21. Re:Minimum requirements for Slashdot party? on Slashdot Turns 10 But You Get The Presents · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is that free as in beer or free as in ... err .. beer?

  22. Anyone invite Kevin Rose? on Slashdot Turns 10 But You Get The Presents · · Score: 1

    I hear he likes to drink beer.

  23. Re:What's the point? on Microsoft Prepping Browser-based Word and Excel · · Score: 5, Informative

    Just read the articles and it doesn't bear much similarity to the summary Taco posted. There is a M$ press release that describes a off-site document hosting set up. As long as you have Office installed on a machine you can download/edit/review documents from the server anywhere in the world. Not really comparable to Googles offerings.

  24. Re:In Soviet Russia... on 50 Years Ago, Sputnik Was an Improvised Triumph · · Score: 1

    Especially as Laika was temporary project manager at the time.

  25. Re:OSX on Blender Compared To the Major 3D Applications · · Score: 1

    I find for me that Blenders toolbars get lost within windows, within windows, within windows, etc thanks to X11.
