  1. Go back in time a give Asimov a vision on The World Fair of 2014 According To Asimov (From 1964) · · Score: 2

    "Mr. Asimov, did you know that in 2013, a quarter of all Americans will own an android?"
    "Why, the future will be astounding!" ...

    "Another quarter will have iOS!" trollface.jpg

  2. Re:like GameMaker all over again on Write Windows Phone Apps, No Code Required · · Score: 3, Informative
  3. Surface RT is working for me at work on Microsoft Is Sitting On Six Million Unsold Surface Tablets · · Score: 2

    I take it to meetings and take notes with OneNote and switch to my calendar or e-mail or Office when needed. Also if I am troubleshooting something away from my office, I take it with me and connect to the Internet with a screen size that is preferable to a phone. If I need to do something not supported in the RT system, I can use Remote Desktop to a full-fledged Windows machine. Now, I could do some of this with an Android or iPad, but it's nice having the Windows interface. Also I prefer carrying the tablet around to lugging around a laptop. Having said all that, I still do 95% of my work at a desktop, and I'm not sure the value from the tablet is really worth the high price.

    At home, I don't have any need for a tablet. I'm either doing involved stuff on a laptop or quickly looking things up on a phone.

  4. "Water" and "I don't know" on You Can't Say That On the Internet · · Score: 4, Funny

    Those are the things you can't say. Not without getting soaked, anyway.

  5. denuded on Tech Manufacturing Is a Disaster Waiting To Happen · · Score: 1

    I'm just excited about learning a new word that I'll have to try to work into a conversation today.

  6. Re:Zelda on Ask Slashdot: Best Adventure Game To Start With? · · Score: 1

    I spent many hours in my youth falling down holes in Death Mountain while Ganon laughed at me.

  7. Spock hopes it cleans up corned beef sandwiches. on JAXA To Use Fishing Nets To Scoop Up Space Junk · · Score: 1
  8. Re:Really, about time. on Google To Host International SVG Conference · · Score: 1

    It bugs me that when printing or taking a screenshot of a web page with graphics that were originally vector-based but had to be converted to PNG, the coarseness of the graphics look awful next to the crispness of the text.

  9. cooperative on Best 2+ Player Video Games? · · Score: 1
    My wife and I like to play console games together when we can, but prefer cooperative games, and she doesn't like FPSs. We have found 3 really good, fairly recent games that we played through and beat:

    They aren't too hard, but are still challenging, and they stay interesting throughout. I wish we could find more like these, especially ToeJam & Earl.
  10. who destroys the Gond? on Vanguard - Saga of Heroes Previewed · · Score: 1
  11. Re:All movies based on games suck on Do-It-Yourself "Dungeons and Dragons" Film Review · · Score: 1
    Slogan for Super Mario Bros: "This is no game!"

    Slogan for Dungeons & Dragons: "This Is No Game"

    Are those who forget the past doomed to repeat it?

  12. Re:Happy Birthday to the an important person... on Merry Christmas Everyone · · Score: 1

    Newton was a great man, but remember your celebration has already occured earlier this year. The nerds convened in late October to witness the ceremonial dropping of two pumpkins from the top of a building. The ghostly presence of Isaac himself ensured that, although the orange fruits differed in size and shape, they hit the ground at the same time. Truly, the event was a deep spiritual experience.

    And Jesus shmoe is whatever you want him to be. I figure he's probably flexible like that, unlike the fundamentalists who have come after him. Merry Christmas
