  1. Does Friedman = Idiot? on Does Google = God? · · Score: 1
  2. Never on (When) Will Linux Pass Apple On The Desktop? · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    When you decide you want to stop fooling yourselfs, click the link.

  3. Re:Too bad.. on Honda Crash Detection System · · Score: 1

    What about "millet missle?"

  4. Re:Telling quote from the article on Profile of a Hard-Core Gamer · · Score: 1

    You call everyone around you in your home town redneck assholes and you wonder why they don't want to socialize with you? Try being nicer to people.

  5. Re:very US centric perspective on The Death of Bluetooth? · · Score: 1

    I don't understand US cell phone carriers in general, they don't actually seem to understand the capabilities of their own kit. They especially don't seem to understand why cell phone usage hasn't changed t he US culture as it has in Europe (and perhaps especially the UK).

    Probably because early adopters of technology in the US - geeks - don't have anybody to call. Perhaps they should bundled some friends with their free minutes.

  6. Re:In India on President Of India Advocates OSS · · Score: 1

    I think the aftermath of an untagged sarcastic remark is even funnier than the punchline.

    Now you understand why trolls are the best part of Slashdot.

  7. Re:Marconi invents new music delivery system on Real Launches Music Download Service · · Score: 1


    Hell, there are probably new and better bands out now but I'd never know that!


    I don't know about new, but there's always better. Namely Led Zeppelin.

  8. Moderators on crack on The Fall Of Max Payne Announced · · Score: 1

    How is the parent a troll? Just for saying Max Payne is a POS? 10 hours of game play and "bullet time" isn't innovation.

  9. Archon!?!?! on Freeware Archon Remake, 20 Years On · · Score: 1

    Archon was good, but why can't someone remake Mail Order Monsters? Talk about a classic.

  10. Fox News not exactly personalized on Compute Google's PageRank 5 Times Faster · · Score: 1

    Fox News is only personalized for reactionaries. CNBC also developed that specialization.

  11. Re:unfortunate on Play PSX Games On Your Xbox · · Score: 2, Funny

    Then again, it's also addressing the same crowd who put a computer in a toilet for the hell of it...

    That's a pretty harsh way to describe installing GNU/Lunix.

  12. Re:Nethack on What Games Have Actually Affected You? · · Score: 1

    RPN, unlike infix notation, doesn't require parenthesis to resolve ambiguity about order of operations. You must be thinking of something else.

  13. Re:Depends on LGP Announces Majesty is Complete · · Score: 1

    I was talking about the ports they did with access to the binary, like Kohan or the Sims.

  14. Depends on LGP Announces Majesty is Complete · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The games with the least portable code I've ever seen took about 6 months. Most take less than 2. I find it interesting that our native ports at Loki took about as much time (or less) than transgaming's "ports" to winelib.

  15. Even worse on Java for the Gameboy Advance · · Score: 2, Interesting

    what's worse even than that is the fact that you can buy a pad of paper and pencil for like $3.

  16. Re:Sports Coverage? on Google Tries To Silence IPO Rumours · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the Halos! Sucks to be on the east coast this sports year.

  17. Re:Sports Coverage? on Google Tries To Silence IPO Rumours · · Score: 1

    I'll try to remember that at the next Lakers parade. I got a real sunburn last year.

  18. Re:YES, actually. Sports coverage on Google Tries To Silence IPO Rumours · · Score: 1

    Baseball. How quaint. I'm sure the cricket match coverage is riveting as well.

  19. Sports Coverage? on Google Tries To Silence IPO Rumours · · Score: 1

    Sports Coverage is their forte? They cover The Knicks for goodness sake. You must be thinking of a more reputable news source that coverages legitimate franchises.

  20. Psychology of a Programmer on Psychology of a Programmer · · Score: 0, Troll

    He forgot the most important bit, programmers are incredible narcissists and love nothing better than to ruminate publically on why they are so much better than the rest of the population and require special handling. Instant Slashdot coverage!

  21. Re: Hey I've got an idea on LGP Announces Game Development Team · · Score: 1

    We know you're not a rookie, but a brief refresher course will sharpen you up for your mission.

    LGP is encouraging this team to make a Windows version as well, so if it's halfway decent they should be able to fund the GNU/Lunix port.

  22. Statistics inconsistent with reality on Ask Nicholas Petreley About Linux Usage Statistics · · Score: 1

    How do you reconcile the theoretical existence of a GNU/Linux desktop market with the inability of any company to eek out an existence selling GNU/Linux desktop software?

  23. Re:Vulterant on LinuxWorld Exhibitors' Responses to Slashdot Questions · · Score: 1


    I'm anispeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have been caused such pericombobulation. I offer JD my most enthusiastic contrafribularities for clearing up such matters interfrastically.


    Redhat has a cunning plan...

  24. Re:Not really, but picking up the pace... on LGP Announces Two More Titles · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Problem with Loki is they were run by fuckwits.

    Well, no one who thinks you can make money selling GNU/Linux games is a genius. But in this case you can probably blame idealism more than lack of intellect.

  25. Guess what on All Source Code Should Be Open, Revisited · · Score: 1

    .. no wonder you cant make a living as an author!

    Most authors can't make a living writing books. Lots of programmers make a fine living.
