  1. tabs4lyf on Douglas Crockford Envisions A Post-JavaScript World (infoworld.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful
    Crockford also proposed ending the "spaces vs. tabs" debate by simply eliminating tabs altogether.

    You go to hell and you die.

  2. Re:Not Impressed on New AI Is Capable of Beating Humans At Doom (denofgeek.com) · · Score: 1

    Doom doesn't have Jump, so S=Forward, Space=Back is better imo, it allows you rock forward and backwards easier since the same finger doesn't control both buttons.

  3. Sorry For This Post on Microsoft Urged to Open Source Classic Visual Basic (i-programmer.info) · · Score: 2

    I Just Felt The Need To Make A Post With The First Letter Of Every Word Capitalized.

  4. Re:So much better on Providing Addresses for 4 Billion People Using Three Words (mondaynote.com) · · Score: 2

    Or the shifting continental plates... I saw an article yesterday promising a cure to aging within 5 years, therefore I need my mailing address to be valid for >1m years.

  5. Slashdot scrolling on Ask Slashdot: What Single Change Would You Make To a Tech Product? · · Score: 1

    I'd stop slashdot from auto-scrolling to the middle/end of the main page when I refresh it. Or at least make it optional. And get rid of all the video stuff.

  6. Mine on Ask Slashdot: What Hardware Is In Your Primary Computer? · · Score: 1

    It's probably like 5-6".

  7. Pluto on Ask Slashdot: Science Books For Middle School Enrichment? · · Score: 1

    How I Killed Pluto And Why it Had It Coming The story of pluto's deplanetification from the guy who did it... It's non-fiction, but still a very entertaining read. Includes history of planet discoveries and similar demotions that have happened in the past. http://www.amazon.com/How-Killed-Pluto-Why-Coming/dp/0385531109

  8. Harry Potter in space on Ask Slashdot: Best Science-Fiction/Fantasy For Kids? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Ender's Game.

  9. Re:I call BS on Google Books Makes a Word Cloud of Human History · · Score: 1

    I agree. Something is obviously wrong with it because the results for "ninja,pirate" and "vi,emacs" cannot possibly be correct.

  10. Obviously a bogus test... on Your Feces Is a Wonderland of Viruses · · Score: 3, Funny

    fecal samples from four sets of Missouri-born female identical twins and their mothers

    Impossible. It's common knowledge that girls don't pewp.

  11. Re:Acronyms on Scrabble To Allow Proper Nouns · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I was very upset when my play of XOR was successfully challenged :(

  12. Re:Just one moment... on Raleigh Councilman Offers Child Naming Rights To Google · · Score: 1
  13. Nails are dangerous too... on Bill To Ban All Salt In Restaurant Cooking · · Score: 5, Funny

    I stepped on a nail once when I was a kid... It hurt.

    They should pass a law that makes it illegal for carpenters to use nails so this never happens to another innocent child.

  14. obligatory xkcd on New Method for Random Number Generation Developed · · Score: 4, Funny

    always been one of my favorites... http://xkcd.org/221/

  15. Re:winshield repair? on Spray-On Liquid Glass · · Score: 4, Funny

    Probably not... unless you don't mind having having only 15 to 30 atoms between you and the outside world.

  16. Re:make it more doom-like on Doom-Like Video Surveillance For Ports In Development · · Score: 1

    no. there were no railguns in Doom. plasma guns maybe tho

  17. i think this was covered already... on Swiss Experimenter Breeds Swarm Intelligence · · Score: 3, Informative
  18. Re:What will the Libs do? on Altered Organism Triples Solar Cell Efficiency · · Score: 1
  19. Re:Alternate hypothesis on Baby Chicks Have Innate Mathematical Skills · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It also doesn't way what order everything was done in... If there are 3 balls behind screen A and 2 balls behind Screen B and they moved the 3rd ball to screen A last, then maybe the chick just went to the LAST ball it saw move.

  20. Re:Opps... on 'w00t' Named 2007 Word of the Year · · Score: 1

    support@real.com works well too

  21. Demoman not in there? on Team Fortress 2 Stats Confirm Every Suspicion · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm surprised the demoman isn't in there for most points, or kills. When I finally got around to trying this class (after 2-3 weeks playing scouts and soldiers primarily) I racked up more points/kills in 30 minutes than I did with any other class in the previous weeks. All I did was sticky-bomb high-traffic areas and blow people up when they walked by... came to point where someone bothered to note how little skill I had (and I didn't argue, it felt cheap and I got bored with it after an hour or so).

  22. Re:The Zune-for-Christmas Death Plot on Heavily Discounted Zune Outpacing iPod Sales · · Score: 1

    sounds like my childhood.

    i ask for transformers

    i get go-bots :(

  23. Ohh Barlog... on God of War III PS3 Bound, Barlog Leaves Sony · · Score: 4, Funny

    I read this as Balrog leaves Sony...

    too bad, that woulda been bad-ass

  24. Re:Portal is an instant classic. on The Orange Box Review · · Score: 3, Funny

    Remember that the Weighted Companion Cube will never threaten to stab you, and, in fact, cannot speak.

  25. Low System Spec a big plus too on The Orange Box Review · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Another big plus for OB imo is that all the games are basically using 3+ year old engine so you don't really need to worry about whether you have the greatest hardware.

    About a year ago, after playing nothing but PC games for 10+ years I got tired of upgrading hardware and all the other "work" that goes into PC gaming and said F-it and bought a Wii. I wasn't planning to buy any new PC games for awhile, but then I heard about OB and figured I'd give it a shot since my current PC ran HL2 just fine. Glad I bought it, Portal alone has kept be busy for two weeks.
