  1. Re:That's a Lot of Cash on MMORPG Developers Warned of Security Risks · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...you can put it in a glass case, you can touch it.

    I thought part of the reason for putting it in a glass case was so that it couldn't be touched...

  2. Re:Serious question. on New Version of Mac OS X Leopard Leaked · · Score: 1

    The server versions of OS X (as well as AppleShare IP before that) require a product key. Since Apple uses them and obviously believes in them to some degree, I'm guessing that they don't feel it's something they should bother consumers with.

    I realize this probably won't matter to you, but read the fine print on the family pack.

  4. Re:Serious question. on New Version of Mac OS X Leopard Leaked · · Score: 2, Funny

    I have two friends (they're roommates) that decided to get the family pack, since it was cheaper than buying two separate copies. If you move in with them, you get a free copy of OS X!

  5. Re:nice splunk spam on The 7 Ways That People Search the Web · · Score: 1

    Is this the same splunk that was constantly advertising on slashdot a while back? (maybe they still do, but I finally got around to updating my adblock list)

  6. Re:PlayStation - GameCube - X360 - ? on Too Human No Longer an Unreal 3 Title? · · Score: 1

    There is true wisdom contained within those words. The test is figuring out where...

  7. "role-acting"? on Biometric Terrorist Detector · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Doesn't catching "role-acting" terrorists also imply that these people were bad actors?

  8. weiners on Skin Sensing Table Saw · · Score: 0

    Is this the one where the demo shows the weiner about to get lopped off?

  9. Re:My game will be called... on Microsoft To Enable User-Created Xbox 360 Games · · Score: 5, Funny

    Someone should make a Donkey Kong clone, only instead of barrels, there are chairs. And well, you can guess who Donkey Kong is...And Mario should be replaced with interchangable sprites, so you can play as whoever's going to be fucking killed that day...

  10. Re:Evil on Google Sends Legal Threats to Media Organizations · · Score: 5, Funny

    See, Google is starting to become Evil.

    Don't worry. I'm still in the early beta stages. I'll let you know when I've become fully actualized.

  11. wikipedia on Compress Wikipedia and Win AI Prize · · Score: 1

    Since it's wikipedia, am I allowed to edit the entries before I compress them? ;-)

  12. Re:Wait a minute... on OLGA Shut Down by DMCA (again!) · · Score: 1

    I would call them a performer. I wouldn't necessarily consider them an "artist."

  13. Re:Wait a minute... on OLGA Shut Down by DMCA (again!) · · Score: 1

    ...there are probably 3-4 good ones for every bad one.

    IMHO, you have those numbers backwards. Also, I view music as a creative art form. Only being able to play something that someone else has shown you indicates that you can mimic, but that you can't create on your own. Yes, you need to start somewhere, and that usually is playing songs that already exist [which is why my note at the end of my prior post says that I don't think these closures are a good thing]. However, there comes a time when you should progress past simply rehashing stuff that's already out there and begin making things on your own. Think about it in terms of other art forms, such as painting. If you came across someone who could mimic the greats really well, but couldn't paint something on their own to save their life, would you truly consider them as a good artist? I'd say that technically they were good, but no, they are not an artist--as I consider the creation aspect a large part of being an artist.

  14. Re:Wait a minute... on OLGA Shut Down by DMCA (again!) · · Score: 5, Funny

    I view this as a major win for music fans everywhere. Think about it--the closure of tab sites on the net will result in a reduction in the number of bad cover bands. Either those people will never play music, or they'll be forced to attempt to create their own music. Judging by the talent of most cover bands, I'm guessing it will be the former. End result--less suck in the music world!

    [yes, it's a joke. no, i don't think closing tab sites is a good thing.]

  15. slow site on Defeating Google's Perpetual Search Logging · · Score: 5, Funny

    The site seems to be slow. Anyone got a link to the google cache?

    Looks like somebody's never actually seen the show...

    Get a brain, moran!

  18. Re:Cheapest HD-DVD player on Microsoft Shows Off 360 HD-DVD Drive · · Score: 1

    Hahahaha. You're funny. Too bad the first HD-DVD player on the market ran $499...

  19. Re:Hrm on Microsoft Shows Off 360 HD-DVD Drive · · Score: 1

    It sort of matches the 360 (slight curve to one of the sides), which leads me to believe that the final product will probably look like this...

  20. Re:Defining the PSP on Sony Struggles To Define the PSP · · Score: 1

    Thanks very much. I'll look into it. A friend pointed me to a site that had the various SuperCards (mini and microSD). It's a shame that the microSD SuperCard only works in the DS Lite, since I have a few of those cards laying around (my phone uses them).

  21. Re:Security on The Doom of Wired Peripherals · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The other part is that my cable provider has upped our standard to at least 7megs/700k. Thats way faster then my wireless can handle.

    This comment shows where exactly your understanding of bandwidth measurements falls (hint: it's low on the scale). Please explain how 7Mbps is "way faster" than even the paltry 11Mbps that 802.11b offers? (And yes, I'm aware that these are the theoretical peaks for both, and that there is overhead in the various protocols and encryption schemes).

  22. Re:Defining the PSP on Sony Struggles To Define the PSP · · Score: 1

    OT, but which DS flash card/boot card set-up would you recommend?

  23. Re:Great so everything can be unreliable on The Doom of Wired Peripherals · · Score: 2, Interesting

    No kidding. Even if it simply involves disabling and re-enabling the WiFi card every few months to get it to properly connect to the basestation, it's too much. Sure, I'll put up with it, but it's far beyond what I'd expect my grandparents to have to go through to ensure that their WiFi works right.

    I prefer to call her a sheborg.

    Zonk says: This is the reason Slashdot videogame reviews don't have numbers anymore.

    And here I thought it was because everyone was always giving you shit for rating everything 8/10...
