  1. Re:Film requirements.... on BioShock Movie To Be Made By Universal · · Score: 1

    Why was this modded flamebait? AC is absolutely right. Legitimate customers did have problems with the copy protection.

  2. Re:proved himself on BioShock Movie To Be Made By Universal · · Score: 2, Informative

    IMDB lists him as the director for all three.

  3. Re:proved himself on BioShock Movie To Be Made By Universal · · Score: 4, Insightful

    PotC is the kind of movie where funny one-liners are appropriate. What makes you think they would be included in BioShock? By the same logic you should have been worried about seeing zombies in LotR because Peter Jackson made Bad Taste and Braindead.

  4. Re:proved himself on BioShock Movie To Be Made By Universal · · Score: 1

    You're saying there's no difference whatsoever between PotC and Uwe Boll's work in terms of direction and overral quality?

  5. Re:What is the point exactly? on Xbox 360 Finally Getting Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    First, why the hell not?

    The 360 is very, very noisy.
  6. Re:Someone doesn't know the definition of empirica on Women's Attractiveness Judged by Software · · Score: 0, Redundant

    There are no empirical standards for beauty.

  7. Re:Even beyond that... on Women's Attractiveness Judged by Software · · Score: 1

    No, because there are no empirical standards for beauty. Someone I find beautiful can be and often is dull or ugly to someone else.

  8. Re:Even beyond that... on Women's Attractiveness Judged by Software · · Score: 1

    The idea that there are no set standards for beauty is wishful thinking.

    Please show me empirical standards for beauty.
  9. Re:more average is more attractive on Women's Attractiveness Judged by Software · · Score: 1

    My unscientific opinion is that men tend to rate nearly all women as attractive, and are not very picky beyond that. It's almost a binary, yes/no kind of thing. If pressed a man might be able to say, "this woman is a 6 and this one is a 7" but that rating has no meaning because few, if any, men will pass up the 6 in order to pursue the 7. The male strategy seems to be a shotgun approach - flirt with every woman.

    I've noticed this as well, though I don't understand it. The entire philosophy is completely alien to me.
  10. Re:more average is more attractive on Women's Attractiveness Judged by Software · · Score: 1

    I've noticed that most of the beauty contest contestants look "bland" to me. Its not that they are ugly, its just that they lack "spice".

    They probably look generic in order to appeal to the widest possible audience.
  11. Re:Economic Conditions on Analysts Foresee Another Banner Year For Videogame Industry · · Score: 1

    In what parallel universe do you live in? 40-60 hours is very uncommon, and the adventure game genre is practically dead.

  12. Re:Stop using CAPTCHA! on Gmail CAPTCHA Cracked · · Score: 1

    Why even use images? Why not ask questions? Or better yet, use images in conjunction with questions? If they are random enough (with random variables), there is no way a bot could crack them.

    There's a whole bunch of different solutions, but everyone just keeps using CAPTCHA. I was once having problems figuring out the CAPTCHA of Rapidshare, and I thought that one day they're just going to make them so difficult that only computers will be able to solve them.

  13. Re:The level of paranoia is growing exponentially on EU Plans to Require Biometrics for Visitors · · Score: 1

    I didn't strawman anything. You're just too much of a coward to admit what you really think.

  14. Re:The level of paranoia is growing exponentially on EU Plans to Require Biometrics for Visitors · · Score: 1

    So a bunch of right-wing kooks ran afoul of statutes forbidding incitement to violence, and a bunch of rioting right-wingers got caught by the police? Forgive me if I don't shed a tear.

    Doesn't matter if freedom of speech is restricted as long as it's only those crazy right wingers who get prosecuted.

    For the other Slashdot readers: Lionheart is a stooge of the British National Party, a neo-nazi party whose adherents are well known for their charming custom of 'Paki-bashing'. Not quite the peaceful dissent that Das Modell wants to pretend it is.

    If you're a BNP supporter or if mvdwege thinks you're a Nazi, you don't deserve freedom of speech.

    I already know what you're going to argue: since you didn't directly say "I oppose freedom of speech," you actually never even implied it. It's so fucking obvious that you oppose freedom of speech, but I don't understand why you can't just admit it. Most Slashdotters have problems with freedom of speech, so it's not like you're anything special.
  15. Re:What happens when lists go wrong on Finnish Censorship Expanding · · Score: 1

    I visited five completely legal mainstream porn sites that were classified as "child porn" before I switched to OpenDNS. This list is a complete joke, and I'd be suprised if there are even ten actual child porn sites on it.

  16. Re:The level of paranoia is growing exponentially on EU Plans to Require Biometrics for Visitors · · Score: 1

    Where is that clear? I have said no such thing.

    Yes you have. Why do you deny it?

    Whereas you are taking the words of a known BNP supporter who already has posted public death threats as gospel as to his non-violent manner.

    Please provide evidence that the police is investigating him because he has committed acts of violence. You can't, because they aren't. Your entire "argument" rests on the fact that he's a BNP supporter, which doesn't mean anything. Of course earlier you were going on and on about him being a Neo Nazi, which turned out to be a figment of your imagination.
  17. Re:A step up. on Computer Models Find Patterns In Asymmetric Threats · · Score: 1

    But let's just ignore the fact that terrorists kill civilians on purpose whereas Coalition forces do not. Let's also ignore the fact that terrorists wear civilian clothes. And so on.

  18. Re:What a worthless government on China Bans Horror Movies · · Score: 1

    Seeing as how the West is democratic and mostly free of censorship, it seems to me like we do care about democracy and censorship. What the Chinese do in their own country is not our fault or responsibility.

  19. Re:video games as art? on Videogames Doomed for a 'Comics-like Ghetto'? · · Score: 1

    His response is insane because video games don't allow you to make any choice you want to. Every choice the player can make has been pre-determined by the designers.

  20. Re:Well, they are just students, after all. on Students Downloading Jihadist Material Acquitted · · Score: 1

    Wrong. I don't think you know what the term 'jihad' means. Why don't you go look it up.

    I know what it means.

    Besides, the word "infidel" does not appear in the Arabic Quran.

    Are you arguing pointless semantics or are you trying to claim that such a concept doesn't exist in Islam?
  21. Re:A step up. on Computer Models Find Patterns In Asymmetric Threats · · Score: 1

    From what I've read, virtually anyone in Iraq is a potential terrorist. The soldiers have no idea who's friendly and who's going to explore or stab them in the back. Even many allies have been revealed to be terrorist infiltrators.

  22. Re:Well, they are just students, after all. on Students Downloading Jihadist Material Acquitted · · Score: 1

    No, only when I make comments that contradict some random leftist dogma of Slashdotters. Nobody has so far been able to point out an inaccuracy in my post.

  23. Re:Text of the article on Spore Hands-On Preview · · Score: 1

    The game, which he has reportedly been planning for the last decade at least, has suffered numerous delays. At the start of this year we gave it an honourable mention as a game which we thought would definitely turn out to be vapourware.

    Seems like anything that gets delayed is vapourware these days. I vaguely recall that Wired called Half-Life 2 vapourware because its release date was pushed back (or maybe it was some other game). Attention seeking drama queens.

    Flamebait.

    Great. The leftist thugs of Slashdot are still persecuting me in full force.
