  1. Re:SF4 - 2D on Who Says 2D Gaming is Dead? · · Score: 1

    2D is still popular in the US it's just for casual gaming now. Look at Xbox Live Arcade or Nintendo's Virtual Console. Most mobile games are still 2D and a lot of the flash games I play at work are 2D. Most of the games on the DS are 2d and the DS sells 400,000 units per month. These games are still fun, but they just don't get the spotlight and media attention anymore.

  2. Re:It's A Shame They Won't Take the Offer on YouTube Filtering Is On-Line · · Score: 1

    Maybe with the possible Writers Guild strike, there will be a new movie and TV industry that emerges that will be more digital friendly.

  3. Re:Waiting for... on Hitachi Promises 4-TB Hard Drives By 2011 · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    With all that content are you actually using it all? If it's all video, are you watching it all? I know people who are addicted to downloading. One friend downloads music that he never has a chance to listen to because he's downloaded so much.

  4. Re:You gotta be kidding. on OpenOffice.org 3.0 Wants to Compete with Outlook · · Score: 1

    Calling Thunderbird an "Outlook Replacement" just shows they have no idea what people use Outlook for. Outlook Express replacement, sure. That's being generous. I would say that Express still beats Thunderbird.
  5. Re:But.... on D.C. Commuters to be Scanned With Infrared Cameras · · Score: 1

    You can use an electric warming blanket. Just hook it up to the cigarette lighter.

  6. Re:That's insane. 1TB Media server $700 at Fry's on HD Recorder Can Use Standard DVDs · · Score: 1

    This is true and a good method as long as I didn't pay for the movies or if my harddrive failed there was a way to redownload all of them, kind of like Xbox Live Marketplace allows.

  7. Re:Valuable perspective on Bloggers Who Risked All In Burma · · Score: 1

    According to the article the protesters went from hundreds to about 100,000. The best people to stop the oppression are the people being oppressed. Sure its nice when outsiders help also.

  8. Re:kiwis use wikis on New Zealand Police Act Wiki Lets You Write the Law · · Score: 1

    I live here as well. Not New Zealand, but here and I have to tell you that the government is not so great as well. When is the constitution wiki coming out?

  9. Re:Something to hide on Man Wins Partial Victory In Circuit City Arrest · · Score: 1

    awesome post. short, sweet, and makes a great point. You've got to love the righteous man who hides behind anonymity. It shows real balls.

  10. Re:Slashdot is just a pro-piracy site on Has RIAA Abandoned the 'Making Available' Defense? · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't say the site is pro-piracy, but more anti-corporate-bullshittiness.

  11. Re:Maybe not completely anti-linux. on Xbox Live Disallows Linux, Unix As Keywords · · Score: 1

    I bet this is what it is. Bungie talked about this issue with their call signs for Halo 3 and how they didn't want to get sued.

  12. Re:Anybody else on First Look At New Mexico's Space Terminal · · Score: 1

    I was thinking it look more like a vagina. "Welcome to the womb."

  13. Re:I had one on 'Flying Saucers' to Go On Sale Soon · · Score: 1

    This is true. Remember that guy down the street who doesn't take care of his non-flying car? Now he will have a flying car that he doesn't take care of and it will most likely breakdown as he's flying above your home.

    These vehicles should only be used by emergency personnel, like a flying Ambulance or firetruck, if those every became viable. A flying cop bike would even be useful.

  14. Re:Why not George Lucas? on NASA To Send Luke's Lightsaber Into Space · · Score: 1

    I meant the ones from the 1970's. Why would I mean episode I, II, and III? Hayden Christensen was great and should have won an award for his role as Lord Vader. Annnd scene.

  15. Re:Why not George Lucas? on NASA To Send Luke's Lightsaber Into Space · · Score: 1

    I was thinking we could send the first three movies and pretend they never happened.

  16. Re:Prizes for winning on Arm Wrestling Machine Recalled for Breaking Arms · · Score: 1

    That's the problem, people weren't turning their hats backwards. Don't they know it's like a switch.

  17. Re:Maybe I can fly now. on US Shuts Down Controversial Anti-Terror Database · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't know, with a name like Anonymous you're bound to be flagged.

  18. Re:Use lower overhead and release anyway on The ESRB Doesn't Take Games Seriously? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Though that is somewhat true, the problem with the AO rating is that major retailers won't stock your game. People believe that if your average gamer can't pick it up at Wal-Mart then word of mouth won't help it succeed. In Manhunts case, it would probably be an interesting test to put the game out as is and sell directly from their site. If it did great, then hopefully the game industry could turn the tables on retailers especially stores like Wal-Mart.

  19. Re:Pricing not actually that bad on ISP Guarantees Net Neutrality, For a Fee · · Score: 1

    I was wondering the same thing. It's $50 a month in north Florida.

  20. I Played My DNA Backwards . . . on Music From DNA Patented · · Score: 1

    . . . and it said "Satan is good, Satan is my pal. I want to kill everyone."

  21. Re:well, on Krugman On the Connectivity Power Shift · · Score: 2, Funny

    I voted with my wallet. I canceled all my services from broadband to phone service. I had to write a letter to Slashdot and the editors there are posting this for me. Thanks in advance.

  22. Re:Dammit on $99 HD-DVD Player Coming Soon? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Too bad we can mod up mods for being funny.

  23. Re:If you need restraints... on NASA Purchases $19M Russian Space Toilet · · Score: 1

    "...it has leg restraints and thigh bars..." OH BABY!!!! Tie me down!!!
    I just want to know if taking a dump produces such a force coming out that it would send an astronaut from the toilet seat?
  24. Re:Fir Pos? on Court Orders Dismissal of US Wiretapping Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    I don't watch them anyways because they are the same old debates. The point is that it would be nice to hear different points of view. A better solution would be to start a third party debate forum. A place where only third party people can debate the issues.

  25. Re:Fir Pos? on Court Orders Dismissal of US Wiretapping Lawsuit · · Score: 3, Informative

    The fact that every post primary debate only has TWO parties represented and doesn't include ANY of the viable third party candidates is of great concern . . .

    I believe the third parties were at the 2004 debates, so lets not make it seem like they don't participate. Weren't the Green party and Libertarian party candidates in the back of a police car outside the building holding the debates. The two parties have locked all the other parties out. Welcome to America says the sign.
