  1. You don't see anything on the server on Blackberry Network is Down · · Score: 2, Funny

    And I don't want to carry one, first I heard is when a user asked me about it. Sure enough, my boss is asking me why their blackberries aren't working and I'm in a meeting trying to show them how the system works... CURSE YOU RIM!

    They could at least tell a time they plan on having it working again...

  2. Re:I love the internet on The Coop, Social Networking For Mozilla · · Score: 2, Funny

    I thought that network was called Slashdot...

  3. Re:Wait, what? on Miyamoto Gives Advice to Game Design Hopefuls · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I heard the frame rate and bump mapping on the "outdoors" is amazing!

  4. Re:You've missed the whole point of GW then on Guild Wars Expansion, Sequel Officially Announced · · Score: 1

    Yes, with no monthy fee it is very attractive to the casual gamer.
    However, even we'd like something with a little spice that doesn't involve too much thought, we get specialized with our skill set. The few puzzles they started to introduce in the later versions where a nice change of pace and the mission that require dipomacy over brute force was brilliant.

    I take nothing from the game. I have many friends who still play and love it. Just the original is no longer for me. You can only go into an area and kill the same kind of monsters so many times. The Jade Sea was just a Green crystal Desert...

  5. As long as it's more than another tired rehash on Guild Wars Expansion, Sequel Officially Announced · · Score: 1

    I've played GW from nearly day one... And I've all but quit... It becomes quite the same thing OVER and over and over! Same monsters, quests, and same nerfs as soon as you find the working skill combo you like. I enjoy the fact it's not play to play, I accept the bit of lag I get and even the pain in the ass kids in outposts. But the original got VERY tired after the second rehash. Hopefully the new one will let me have my Charr Pyromancer!

  6. Flashbacks on IT Braces for 'J-SOX' Rules · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I just remember filling out three forms to get applications into test for SOX. In to frigging TEST! *shivers and starts rocking* I'm SO glad I got out of that!
    I understand the need to track who did what and why and what the code is and all that jazz... But seriously, a year of my life was lost in that red tape...

  7. Re:My sorta story on Video Racing Games May Spur Risky Driving · · Score: 0

    I only drive like that when I have 3... maybe 4 stars floating above my head

  8. Re:4 years now on Who Controls Your Television? · · Score: 0

    (or see if Tor or Del Rey will put ads in their SF novels!)

    Please! Don't give them any ideas
  9. Re:kiosks on Animation Tool Puts You in the Game · · Score: 0

    you forgot step 4a. ????

  10. Re:Issues so far on Is Daylight Saving Shift Really Worth It? · · Score: 0

    Ummm actually according to that there aren't any blackberry issues... I know of one beyond the patches which requires you to update the cdo.dll but that's it really.

  11. Re:Only $100k? on $100k For Kenobi's Cloak · · Score: 1, Funny

    What? I like Obi Wan Kenobi/gyn?

  12. Re:I've got a better idea on Using Gym Rats' Body Power to Generate Electricity · · Score: 0

    Or even better, the energy wasted by my pathetic attempts to get laid in the first place
    How did you think they get enough power for the slashdot servers?
  13. Re:Off topic :: Firehose on Google Ads Are a Free Speech Issue · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    maybe it's a refrence to UHF where the kids show would let you drink from the firehose as a prize

  14. Re:Video Games for Dummies on Comments From Miyamoto On Wii, Industry · · Score: 0

    Fear of failure and being "pwned" by someone half your age doesn't always play into the "fun" most people try to get from entertainment.

  15. I want to play the new sonic game on How Sega Can Save Sonic · · Score: 0

    Not Tails and Nuckles crap-tastic adventure

  16. Re:Exactly on Study Finds P2P Has No Effect on Legal Music Sales · · Score: 0

    So, it's like saying P2P is causing a lack of sales in cassette tape and 8 tracks. It's just a media shift that they din't create so they don't know how to control

  17. Re:Just hack Wiimote! on Sign Language Via Cell Phone · · Score: 0

    With the use of fingers, it's more likely a modification using the old powerglove idea with wiimote tech might be a better idea.

  18. Re:Why stop with sex offenders? on UK Propose Registering Screen Names with Police · · Score: 0

    If Lupin taught us anything, it's that notes of intent wouldn't help the cops catch them any faster...

  19. Let me tell you on Overcoming Challenges To Game · · Score: 1, Insightful

    DDR looks damned hard with one leg But, we find ways to do the things we enjoy, even if the doctors tell us no. Be it adjusting the way to play to having other hold the controler for us, we find a way.

  20. Re:Or maybe it dies because.. on Rare Shark Filmed in Japan · · Score: 0

    NO that would just mutate it onto a 16 story tall monster...

  21. Re:To quote Dave Attell... on What Breakfast Gets You Going? · · Score: 0

    If it's done right... when it's over you want to go back to sleep...

  22. Legal headache on Apple Sues Over iPhone Smartphone Skins · · Score: 0

    How many suits can one product give you before you say enough?

  23. Re:ATTN: Slashdot Editors on Sony Ships 2 Million PS3s, May Still Miss Goal · · Score: 0

    Oh! Hats! and here I thought those guys stored their numbers elseware...

  24. Trojan on Inventor Slims Down Exoskeletal Body Armor · · Score: 3, Funny

  25. Re:Nifty on Games Industry Sees 12 Billion in Sales For 2006 · · Score: 0
