  1. Re:Where was this caution with Wii U? on Xbox One Released · · Score: 1

    Is OK thanks, I'm 50. I've been playing video games since 1977. I've enjoyed it all from programmable calculator games to XBox360 and PC but Nintendo anything just leaves me cold.

  2. Re:Where was this caution with Wii U? on Xbox One Released · · Score: 0

    >Excuse me while I go play "Super Mario 3D World"
    If that's your idea of good gaming, you're commenting on the wrong /. story.

  3. Re:Ha! on Users Identified Through Typing, Mouse Movements · · Score: 1

    >There. Identify me now, bastards.
    Hi Dave!

  4. Re:Alongside Terrorism? on Imagining the Post-Antibiotic Future · · Score: 1

    I don't disagree but I'm guessing they figured the threat of terrorism managed to get most people to accept the surveilence state so it was worth a go using it again as a stick to beat people with.

  5. Re:Great thing about being old on User Alleges LG TVs Phone Home With Your Viewing Habits · · Score: 2

    Anti-freeze, I've been told, has a slightly sweet taste

    Back in the mid eighties Austria got caught exporting wine sweetened with diethylene glycol which is what goes in anti-freeze. Pretty much destroyed their wine industry.

  6. Once again on SourceForge Appeals To Readers For Help Nixing Bad Ad Actors · · Score: 1

    The suits and money spot something successful and wade in without understanding why it's successful then mucking it up.

  7. Re:Non-destructive testing on Clam That Was Killed Determining Its Age Was Over 100 Years Older Than Estimated · · Score: 1

    so much for cut and paste

    As opposed to the poor clam who was cut and became paste.

  8. Re:Shame on them on Clam That Was Killed Determining Its Age Was Over 100 Years Older Than Estimated · · Score: 1

    It was actually named after the Ming Dynasty

    I think you'll find the minger reference was a joke...

  9. To be fair on Italy Investigates Apple For Alleged Tax Fraud · · Score: 0

    The Italian's main complaint was Apple weren't dodging taxes enough and making the mob run companies look bad.

  10. It gets worse on Britain's Conservatives Scrub Speeches from the Internet · · Score: 3, Informative

    I just tried to complain to my MP about this but it seems he's blocked me on Twitter. I guess that's it then, we are living in a fascist state.

  11. Re:Conspiracy on The Second Operating System Hiding In Every Mobile Phone · · Score: 3, Funny

    when in truth it will be a broadcast of "Never gonna let you down" on infinite loop. Rick is Chinese...didn't you know?

    His real name is Rick Shaw.

  12. Re: Atari DOS source code was published on Apple II DOS Source Code Released · · Score: 1

    The Atari OS is online at a few places but here's the first one I found http://chimera2010.com/atari-400800-operating-system-source-listing/. You may be right on DOS, there was a recent discussion over at AtariAge on some of the oddball disk drives and DOS decisions and it said there the DOS listing had been officially released but maybe people's memories are failing and it was the Compute one.

  13. Oh yes. on Porn-Surfing Execs Infecting Corporate Networks With Malware · · Score: 2

    I work in a major Bank and the support staff tell me the senior execs are all kept in a separate isolated LAN, not because of the security of the documents they work on but because they access so much porn and torrents etc that their bit of network is riddled with crap that needs daily cleaning up. And some of the porn is very much in the jail time category.

  14. Re: Needless? on Ask Slashdot: Communication Skills For Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Its actually OK to be introverted, its not usually something that needs drugs to fix. For years I felt bad for not being a natural mixer but I'm happy with it these days. I have good friends and we're on the same wavelength but I'm not outgoing and they don't expect me to be.

  15. Re: Atari DOS source code was published on Apple II DOS Source Code Released · · Score: 1

    No, not third party, Atari published both the OS and DOS source code.

  16. Most are wrong anyway on Music Industry Issues Take Down Notices to 50 Major Lyrics Sites · · Score: 1

    I've actually looked up a few lyric sites recently and they all had different variations. They look like most are phonetic so I'm guessing there's an industry somewhere using Chinese or Indian workers to transcribe the lyrics by listening to the songs rather than getting them from the publishers.

  17. Re: Rogue governments !! on GCHQ Created Spoofed LinkedIn and Slashdot Sites To Serve Malware · · Score: 1

    I'm in the UK. I recently stopped and looked around near where I work and counted 27 cameras. Ten were pointing directly at my location. They may or may not be active but they are there OK.

  18. Bad name on Why Project Flare Might Just End the Console War · · Score: 1

    Did they not know there was an 80s failed console called the flare? Didn't even get to market, sort of granddad to the Atari Jaguar.

  19. Re:Darrell 'Fraud' Issa on "War Room" Notes Describe IT Chaos At Healthcare.gov · · Score: 2

    I'm sorry, I seemed to have gotten sidetracked there. What was your point again?

    Dunno but good comeback. Win.

  20. Re:Darrell 'Fraud' Issa on "War Room" Notes Describe IT Chaos At Healthcare.gov · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Not necessarily. There are more than two countries in the world.

    That'll come as a shock to many Americans who think the globe is divided into 'America' and 'Them'.

  21. Re:Not necessarily true ... on Box CEO Talks European Plans, Warns About Meeting BlackBerry's Fate · · Score: 3, Interesting

    >IBM was one time the almighty of all things technology, and look where are they now ?
    2012 Net income $17.6bn on $104.5bn sales. Not that shabby.

  22. Re:Not necessarily true ... on Box CEO Talks European Plans, Warns About Meeting BlackBerry's Fate · · Score: 1

    OTOH you have Oracle who almost no one has a good word for, aren't the only DB in town but still seem to be very much the market leader.

  23. Hint on US Executions Threaten Supply of Anaesthetic Used For Surgical Procedures · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Capital punishment is barbaric. Leave it back in ye olde days. Or maybe it just appeals to your blood lust?

  24. Re:But can you trust xavier2dc? on How I Compiled TrueCrypt For Windows and Matched the Official Binaries · · Score: 1

    >Step 1: Find his mother
    Step 2 ???
    Step 3 Profit!

    You're completely and utterly wrong on this one.
