  1. Re:So is this Hollywood's plan? on God of War the Newest Video Game Movie · · Score: 1

    Why would the movie require interaction? The game sure doesn't.

  2. Re:Dear Apple on More Rumblings on Apple Video iPod · · Score: 3, Funny

    Dear PinkX;

    Album rock is dead. Time to move on.

    Sincerely,
    Apple

  3. Re:Nothing new on Apple Switch to Intel Not a Big Loss for IBM · · Score: 1

    How is that proving his point? Everyone wants faster clock rates. There's nothing idiosyncratic about it.

  4. Re:Nothing new on Apple Switch to Intel Not a Big Loss for IBM · · Score: 1

    Yeah. Imagine those whiners asking for faster clock rates an in-order execution of code! What capriciousness!

  5. Re:Slashdot called this a year ago on Next-Gen Console CPUs Not Up to Hype · · Score: 1

    For the most part their AV equipment sucks too.

  6. Re:Choose your ghetto on Editorial Wiki Debuts At LA Times · · Score: 1

    In the Bible Belt, they have to learn how to deal with people who think differently from them. In LA and NY you can just live in your own little homogeneous ghetto and never be exposed to new ideas.

    Yes! We have always been at war with Oceania!

  7. Re:Sure its a great RPG.... on Review: Jade Empire · · Score: 1

    Xenosaga and FFX may take 100 hours, but 95 hours of that are non-interactive cutscenes. Yawn.

  8. Re:Remember those old SGI o2... on 'Xtreme' Equipment That You Have Borrowed? · · Score: 1

    Throw out? I'll pay for shipping to take those off your hands!

  9. Re:odd quote... on Paul Graham on PR · · Score: 1

    Well, his business was selling software that made online stores. So the disparity in units you noted is really irrelevant.

  10. Re:Interesting Concept on Dance Dance Revolution Exercise Study · · Score: 1

    The problem is a lack of open space, not a widespread neurosis. Suburban sprawl and track homes have overtaken most of the open space I played on as a kid, and the green slices of golf-like grass they set up as play areas are a poor substitute.

  11. Re:WooHoo!! on Linux Coming to the Nintendo DS · · Score: 1

    No it wouldn't. It would make a very terrible PDA. "Well, I can't store addresses or appointments or anything, but I have a great vt100 emulator. Oh wait, no keyboard." On top of that you'd look like an idiot taking it out in meetings.

  12. Re:Google fanbois on Gmail's Birthday Presents · · Score: 1

    Because of how they do it. Google's approach is often technically superior (at first) and different than other companies.

    Sure, but people come up with technically superior stuff all the time. It's not like IBM gets play for each product release, and for what I can tell they are about as boring as Google.

  13. Google fanbois on Gmail's Birthday Presents · · Score: 1

    Can someone explain what the exciting thing about google is again? A web search engine? Yawn. Free web email? Who doesn't have an email account? Why is it that every time Google puts the word beta in front of some turd it becomes front page slashbot news?

  14. Re:Just Brought Mine Home on The PSP's Birthday Party · · Score: 1

    Sounds like every other MGS ever made.

  15. +1 Informative on Moving from Binary Drivers to Open Source? · · Score: 1

    This point is too subtle for most ./ers. They are so religious about their indentation level that they become combative and stupid from the outset and will never understand the difference between TAB and an indentation level setting. Given the current level of discourse we should get rid of the TAB character altogether and mandate space-only indentation.

  16. Misses the mark on LinuxWorld Response to 'How to Kill Linux' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Drivers are only an issue for the desktop market, where GNU/Linux can't be killed - because it's been stillborn. There isn't any Linux market to kill. Support for high volume, low quality hardware is less important for the server and embedded market, which are the only ones with a significant Linux presence.

  17. Re:Oh great. on Dvorak on Google and Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Well, that's not exactly evil.

  18. Re:I honestly think... on Accessories for Mac mini · · Score: 1

    In a Terminal window:

    defaults write com.apple.dock orientation top

  19. Like rain on your wedding day on Are Extensible Programming Languages Coming? · · Score: 1

    One of the great ironies of the early 21st century is that the programmers who build component systems for others are strangely reluctant to componentize their own tools.

    That's not one of the great ironies of the early 21st century. It's minor and uninteresting. Let's wait until the end of the 21st century before we employ this sort of hyperbole.

  20. Re:Aren't most 1st gen portable products similar? on Sony PSP Defects Reported · · Score: 1

    the honor of the rape of Nanking...

    I can't believe I fed the troll!

  21. Re:Great... on Nintendo Eyeing the Big Screen · · Score: 1

    I don't think any of those would be funnier than "Excite Bike." The only one that comes close is Duck Hunt.

  22. Re:I think they will offer it for Linux on Google to Launch Mac Version of Google Desktop UPDATED · · Score: 1

    They know, that for their line of business, the geeks are a really powerful, _highly_ opinionated, bunch of people. Should we start disliking Google we will start telling our relatives to use some other search engine.

    You mean the same bunch of nerds who keep telling people that Linux is ready for the desktop? Boy, that's working out. Google's done pretty well ignoring the slashbots and fanbois.

  23. Re:Swimming? on New GTA: San Andreas Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    +1000 Insightful

  24. Re:The real test on LP files Suit To Stop State Funding Of 3rd Debate · · Score: 1

    I know the original post may have seemed like a troll, but it seems like most Libertarians are perfectly comfortable being marginalized so that they are under no obligation to temper their more radical views. But the more radical the views, the easier it is to marginalize Libertarians. Planks like dissolving the FDA and getting rid of Federal subsidies for education don't endear Libertarians to the general public, they make candidates sound like loonies.

    I'm glad to see some people are aware of the problems. I don't agree philosophically with the ideology, but I'd love an electoral system that didn't punish people for voting their conscience.

  25. Re:Can't do that. on Proposal: Put Library of Congress' Contents Online · · Score: 1

    I'm glad to see Bush has put US copyright statues to the global test.
