  1. Re:How can people tell them appart? on Over 12,000 black Nintendo DS Lite Systems Stolen · · Score: 1

    "So how are people buying one on ebay supposed to know wether or not it was part of the stolen shipment?"

    How do you know anything you buy on eBay isn't stolen??

  2. Re:Mod parent off-topic on Over 12,000 black Nintendo DS Lite Systems Stolen · · Score: 1, Funny

    Welcome to Slashdot...

  3. Re:DNF v. Vista on 3D Realms Won't Rush Duke Nukem Forever · · Score: 1

    They probably think "Well, at least 3D Realms haven't blown anybody up...(yet)"

  4. The true meaning explained... on 3D Realms Won't Rush Duke Nukem Forever · · Score: 2, Funny

    Doesn't DNF stand for "Did Not Finish" in NASCAR??? Eerily appropriate in this case too...

  5. Re:Apple is just waiting Vista on Apple Losing Touch With the OS Community? · · Score: 1

    And the Palo Alto Research Center is sick of both companies incessantly copying their festures...You think Apple invented the GUI or mouse input?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PARC

  6. Re:Get things straight... on Apple Losing Touch With the OS Community? · · Score: 2, Funny

    "I am not an MS fanboy, however if you are going to take a jab at MS, at least do it for a valid reason."

    Whoa there cowboy, slow down... If you read the Slashdot rules and regs you will see that you are way offbase with your comment.

  7. Re:shouldn't the headline read... on Apple Losing Touch With the OS Community? · · Score: 1

    Welcome to Slashdot. "Losing" is officially spelled "loosing" in case you haven't got the memo yet. But kudos on pointing out grammar/spelling errors (a.k.a. "speling errors"), even though the misspelling was intentional in this case...

  8. Re:Rule #1 For Understanding Apple on Apple Losing Touch With the OS Community? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Actually, Apple is a "electronic music hardware" company. Mac hardware sales up 20% in Q1 2006, iPod sales up 207% in same period.

  9. My prediction... on 3D Realms Won't Rush Duke Nukem Forever · · Score: 1

    I predict this game will be the biggest thing since Daikatana... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daikatana

  10. Re:So what? on Apple Losing Touch With the OS Community? · · Score: 1

    What?? I thought I heard BSD was dead...

  11. shouldn't the headline read... on Apple Losing Touch With the OS Community? · · Score: 1

    I believe the headline has a typo.. It should read "Slashdot Posters Loosing Touch with the Headline Community & Natalie Portman+hot grits"

  12. Re:OT on 3D Realms Won't Rush Duke Nukem Forever · · Score: 1

    And I'm pretty sure the Sun/SPARC version of Duke will be out before the PC or Mac version... Hell, there may even be new platforms by the time it comes out....

    Duke Nukem Forever coming soon to your PS12, XBox 2048, and OS XX 20.41

  13. New slashdot category... on 3D Realms Won't Rush Duke Nukem Forever · · Score: 1

    I think we need a new category.... "Biggest Understatement in Headline"

  14. Re:Not such a good strategy... on Google's Secretive Data Center · · Score: 1

    Maybe they didn't talk directly to Google, but you know with their secret evil empire they could have killed the story if they had wanted to...

  15. Not such a good strategy... on Google's Secretive Data Center · · Score: 1

    Maybe if Google wanted to build a "secret" datacenter they shouldn't have let the New York Times write an article about it....

  16. Re:Well, nice while it lasted on Google's Secretive Data Center · · Score: 1

    Net neutrality won't affect Google. They have already laid all their own fiber/cable and you will soon be ditching the "internet" for the "Googlenet"...

  17. Re:This message will probably be erased on Google's Secretive Data Center · · Score: 1

    A carefully placed shot into the exhaust vent should do it.

  18. Re:Seriously, what... on Google's Secretive Data Center · · Score: 1

    They did, it is called Earth. Too bad the Vogons will be destroying it to make way for an intergalatic expressway soon....

  19. Re:There was another similar game.... on Dragon's Lair Remastered in HD · · Score: 1
  20. Re:HD? I want my holograms! on Dragon's Lair Remastered in HD · · Score: 1

    Time Traveler was the hologpraic game. Even worse gameplay than DL or SA if you can believe it. I first saw the game at the State Fair arcade - and it was $1 to play... Ripoff city!

  21. Re:in it's era... on Dragon's Lair Remastered in HD · · Score: 2, Interesting

    And what about Don Bluth's RPG game Thayer's Quest? It had a big old keyboard with tons of buttons and was even more frustrating than Dragons Lair/Space Ace...

  22. Re:The real Classics on Dragon's Lair Remastered in HD · · Score: 1

    "Your warrior is about to die"...The original classic "MMORPG"...

  23. Re:50 cents? on Dragon's Lair Remastered in HD · · Score: 1

    Yep, first 50 center I remember at the arcade. Not only the most expensive game, there was always a line of 10 kids or more waiting to play it. I just watched and saw the whole game without ever having to pay...

  24. All that is left now... on RIAA Claims P2P Has Been Contained · · Score: 1

    I am just waiting for the head of the RIAA to be flown out to a battleship on a fighter jet so he can stand under a huge banner reading "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!"

  25. Re:! Job's - job on Judging The Apple 'Sweatshop' Charge · · Score: 1

    Wow, that was the longest haiku I have ever seen!
