  1. that's nice on The Making of Bioshock · · Score: 5, Informative

    Funny. I recently bought Bioshock on Steam (when they were running their $15 special a month or two ago). I only had a chance to play it for a few hours (not much time for games these days). However, in the past week my system's gone completely crazy. Turned out it was due to SecuROM. I found the uninstaller utility and removed it, and now my system is behaving perfectly normally again. I liked what I managed to play of Bioshock, but unfortunately I'm not going to reinstall it again. It's a shame, really, because it seemed like a good game.

  2. Re:On the condition... on Unsolicited Offer For My Personal Domain Name? · · Score: 1

    That's exactly what I would do. Of course, I'd notify anyone and everyone I could of the switch to my other domain and my new email address. But at least I'd have my old email address to catch anything from anyone who didn't update it.

  3. Re:Opinion in the OP on First Prototype of Open Source TechCrunch Tablet · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not sure if it is bias or laziness.

    Bias? Laziness? At Slashdot?!?!?

  4. Re:Carbon Dating on Nuclear Decay May Vary With Earth-Sun Distance · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...and the time scale is therefore not geologic.

    Would the time scale be universal instead? : p

  5. that's easy on How Can Nerds Make a Difference In November? · · Score: 1

    Hack the voting machines?

  6. Re:colors on Black Screens For Unauthorized Copies of Windows · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I personally prefer a nice medium-dark gray--a very neutral color.

  7. Hurry to Amazon NOW! (maybe) on Cell Phones For Easy App Development? · · Score: 1

    No idea how useful this is for development, but Amazon is offering an unlocked Samsung I321N phone for $165 until 2pm PDT as a gold box deal. It runs Windows Mobile 5.0, and since it's unlocked I would imagine you should be able to load apps onto it with no problems.

  8. Re:Encoding please??? on Quebec Govt Sued For Ignoring Free Software · · Score: 1

    I didn't use the HTML encoding of the letters. It looks like the comment system converted them. I agree that the comment system should be more robust with regards to how it handles different encoding schemes, but it's not like it can't handle any of them.

    Y'mean like this?

    Ø, Ö, Ã, Ê

  10. Re:Ever read Dickins, son? on How a Quake 3 Mod Team Turned Into a Successful Studio · · Score: 1

    Which future is that? Is it the one where I live in a meat pudding house with my roommate Pink and our pet flying monkeys? Oh yeah, Pink's gonna get us tickets to the Aerosmith concert. You want in?

  11. Re:Ever read Dickins, son? on How a Quake 3 Mod Team Turned Into a Successful Studio · · Score: 1

    Are you saying that Hank doesn't exist? Cos I can assure you he does. But for some reason he changed his name from Rollins to Williams, and then later added a Jr to it. Oh yeah, and he's a time traveller, but don't let him know that I told you that.

  12. Re:Ever read Dickins, son? on How a Quake 3 Mod Team Turned Into a Successful Studio · · Score: 1

    You were saying something about building a wall out of meat and pudding....

  13. Re:Ever read Dickins, son? on How a Quake 3 Mod Team Turned Into a Successful Studio · · Score: 3, Funny

    So wait a second. It's from a song? Can you tell me who it's by?

  14. Re:Ever read Dickins, son? on How a Quake 3 Mod Team Turned Into a Successful Studio · · Score: 1

    Yes, I know the original line. It's the changing of 'eat' to 'beat' that I found funny.

  15. Re:Ever read Dickins, son? on How a Quake 3 Mod Team Turned Into a Successful Studio · · Score: 1

    "If you don't beat your meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don't beat yer meat!"

    Sorry, but that's one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.

  16. Re:what? on iPhone Web Claims Draw Governmental Rebuke in UK · · Score: 1

    You forget one:
    4. /. posts story without editing or adding commentary pointing out this serious logic flaw.

  17. Re:What about NNTP? P2P? on iPhone Web Claims Draw Governmental Rebuke in UK · · Score: 1

    Again, I might have misunderstood your meaning of "newsreader".

    Yes, you have. He's talking about a usenet client running over NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol).

  18. Re:Back door anyone? on Locked iPhones Can Be Unlocked Without Password · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is nothing more than a nice backdoor left in there by apple so that they have constant access to your phone.

    Yes, because when Apple wants to access my iPhone, they're going to come to my house, pick up the phone, and start pushing buttons....

  19. Re:You mean like RAMDoubler on Gaining RAM For Free, Through Software · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The amazing thing is that timothy was well aware of this (from the but-ram-doubler-is-old-news dept), yet he posted it anyways.

  20. Re:Use tax = sales tax and you are supposed to pay on Newegg Defies New York Sales Tax Law · · Score: 2, Informative

    Also note that some states have a minimum purchase amount before you need to worry about paying use taxes (not that any of you worry). For instance in DC, you only need to pay use taxes if you purchased more than $400 worth of items from catalogs or online in the previous year.

  21. Re:$5.98 on Amazon Rolls Out Release-Day Game Delivery · · Score: 4, Funny

    You clearly don't understand the psychology of pricing. $5.98 is less than $6 (and $5.99 for that matter), which makes quite a few people think that they're actually saving something.

  22. Re:Neat, but... on Paralyzed Man Walks Again Using Exoskeleton · · Score: 4, Funny

    Does it run?

  23. Re:Size Comparison on Terror Watchlist "Crippled By Technical Flaws" · · Score: 1

    Why am I not surprised that Montana heads up that state list? : p

  24. Re:That's what happens when.... on Terror Watchlist "Crippled By Technical Flaws" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I understand that's what happened in the justice department - is that true of other departments?

    Considering the modus operandi of this administration, I'd be very surprised if this weren't a widespread practice.

  25. Re:flawed test on East Coast Broadband Fastest In USA · · Score: 1

    Those tests should be limited to those who pay for "all you can get".

    Can you point me to a broadband provider that has an "all you can get" plan? Everywhere I look, the plans are based on some sort of limited max upload/download speed. While some of those are pretty high, there is no "all you can get" plan that I can find.
