  1. OR... on Penguin Poop Seen From Space · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... are you just happy to see m.. WAIT, that IS an emperor penguin colony

  2. Re:What used games market? on Publishers Want a Slice of Used Game Market · · Score: 1

    EA only publishes them physically. Valve electronically publishes them through Steam.

  3. slowly takes another sip of the koolaid... on Java Gets New Garbage Collector, But Only If You Buy Support · · Score: 1

    ...and this is why i use .net for my development. yes, the OS is not free, and the GOOD .net dev tools are not free. But the entire engine and framework are a giveaway beyond that and consistent... no weird licensing stuff with using the framework.

  4. Re:It's true! on Empirical Study Shows DRM Encourages Infringement · · Score: 1

    My only surpise here is that people use eMule still?

  5. Re:nuclear kils skynet also on Terminator Salvation Opens Well, Scientists Not Impressed · · Score: 1

    In reality.... SKYNET does not EXIST!

  6. Visited the site on Circuit City Returns Under Systemax · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I mean the prices are pretty good and the site is full of useful content and info about the products. However, it's not Newegg, millions of product reviews are already there, competitive prices already and pretty decent customer services. The new CircuitCity.com is ultimately "meh" to me. I mean if you HATE Newegg, this might be an OK alternative... i guess.... MEH

  7. Re:How does that make it not "real water"? on Space Station Crew Drinks Recycled Urine · · Score: 3, Informative

    "Additives? Whats in the toilet are additives."

    Um... POO comes to mind.

  8. Re:Graphics and Stuff on A History of 3D Cards From Voodoo To GeForce · · Score: 1

    While I will concede that the writing in F3 was pretty below-par akin to the rest of the series... the "skipping the story" bits can happen in F1 and F2 also - whether this was intentional in F3, remains to be seen.

  9. Re:Why do they call them 3D cards? on A History of 3D Cards From Voodoo To GeForce · · Score: 1

    So, what you're saying is... that there is a card that is MORE than $500 that can do that???

  10. Re:Graphics and Stuff on A History of 3D Cards From Voodoo To GeForce · · Score: 4, Funny

    It was a very fetching story

  11. Re:Now I can play M.U.L.E. on the go! on Gamepark Releases the GP2X Wiz · · Score: 1

    I wanna use my Atari to play E.L.U.M.

  12. Re:SAP on Microsoft Raises $3.8B in Bond Sale · · Score: 4, Funny

    The only positive of that, is MAYBE MS would kill off Business Objects once and for all (yes, I know, a pipe dream)

  13. Re:Object Oriented support in PHP on An Early Look At What's Coming In PHP V6 · · Score: 1

    If you mean "soon" as in PHP6 will have namespaces, then yes, will be "soon".

  14. Re:Object Oriented support in PHP on An Early Look At What's Coming In PHP V6 · · Score: 2, Informative

    PHP5 and, soon 6, is pretty strong. PHP5 has a fairly proper inheritance and member visibility model and is truly reference based (i.e. $objX = $objY means, in PHP5, that they are reference to the same object instance... opposed to PHP4 where $objX = $objY made a FULL copy of the object to $objX). Not perfect, but not bad - the rest of the language/API needs a cleanup, which lookd like v6 will help address.

  15. Re:TSR on Borland Being Purchased By Micro Focus · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    In my day, TSR meant "Tactical Studies Rules" - uphill... both ways... and not on my lawn!

    You whippersnappers stole that and made into a computer thingy!!!

  16. Re:this just in on Wolfram Alpha vs. Google — Results Vary · · Score: 1

    looks like a whole lot of kittens are gonna die :(

  17. Re:Original fallout team on Bethesda Announces New Fallout Game For 2010 · · Score: 1

    In a way, yes.... but F2 overdid that. F2 was still fun, but F1 had the perfect balance of story, humor and easter eggs, while F2 was "let's see how much shit we can put in there!!"

  18. Re:er... on Bethesda Announces New Fallout Game For 2010 · · Score: 1

    NO.... Oblivion is Fallout with swords and magic.

  19. I just call them Web Designers on What Do You Call People Who "Do HTML"? · · Score: 5, Informative

    nt

  20. Still... on CFLs Causing Utility Woes · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Since I have switched to CFL... none of my light bulbs has ever burned out yet for 9+ months. With incandescents, I was changing 5-6 light-bulbs a month (I live in an older house, the electric grid and the wiring in the place I live is not always ideal for traditional light bulbs)

  21. achievement achieved on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 1

    can i get rated "+1 achieve"?

  22. Heh, saw this on newgrounds... on Kid-Friendly Watchmen · · Score: 1

    and totally laughed my ass off :)

  23. Re:NO on IBM Develops Technology To Talk To Web · · Score: 2, Funny

    NOTE TO SELF: code future IVR system to respond to "*6", instead, for operator requests.

  24. Re:IMO on Sony Bringing RMT To Vanguard · · Score: 1

    Honestly, this should have happen long ago... this way there is LESS gray area to weed through, people get their goods, the "people in charge" make more money and the rise of less legitimate operations slow down.

    Is it perfect, nope, not a bad way to go ultimately.

  25. I have doodled for at least 30 years on Concentrate Better By Doodling · · Score: 3, Informative

    Pretty much in ever class that I remember since the 3-4th grade. All through college and every meeting I bring pad/pen to.

    In fact, my meeting notes, have WAY more random scribbles and weird drawings than actual notes.
