  1. Re:Screw this on The Differences Between the AO and M Versions of Manhunt 2 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "ignoring the homoerotic undertones of the whole gay pageant you've for months been pining away for" And there are no homo-erotic undertones of wanting to grab some other man's balls? And nothing phallic about a gun? I'll be sure to tell Freud that.

  2. Let me know on Detecting Cancer Without Drawing Blood · · Score: 1

    when they can detect cancer without sticking a hand up my butt, and I'll be happy. A laser would be fine, where a dog would definitely not....or would it?

  3. Federal Documents disallow Watchlist on DHS Plans Changes in Air Passenger Screening · · Score: 1

    I hold in my hand a federally issued document that permits the "citizen of the United States named herein to pass without delay or hindrance". It's kinda nifty that you can get one of these new fangled papers called a passport that makes such a bold claim.

    So, what I'm saying is, if your passport guarantees this, and is lawfully binding, how can such a watchlist or screening be legal? Or is it a double standard to say that other countries cannot cause delay or hindrance to a US citizen, but the US can?

  4. Good! on Peter Jackson Will Not Be Making The Hobbit · · Score: 1

    He got off to a good start, but the third installment was painful to watch. I guess it might not be all of Jackson's fault. I just hope that the same actors are not involved. Way too much homo-eroticism going on between Sean Astin and Elijah Wood.

  5. Numb3rs anyone? on Software To Authenticate Paintings · · Score: 1

    This type of program was on the television show Numb3rs this season. It almost makes you wonder if tv writers (or even fiction writers) are on the cutting edge, or if we are just so far behind.

  6. uncompletable games? on The 'Truth in Videogame Rating' Act · · Score: 1, Insightful

    What about games that do not have an end? How do you rate a World of Warcraft or these other MMORPG's? Or do you just slap a "game play online may vary" clause on a E rating?

  7. Re:Critical vulnerability on Slashback: Wikipedia Correction, NASA Tape, BPI Rejected · · Score: 0

    It seems that you've hit the nail on the head talking about the double-edged sword. I can rent the movies for a few dollars and see more special effects and actors I know and trust rather than shell out much more (10x that, or so) to see a show I'm not familiar with (haven'tseen multiple times or at least heard everyone talk about) or other things. Plus, the commercials ran for it did not seem to convey a sense of it staying with the book. From my pov, it looked it was going to be something entirely different. So, it's not only bad critics in the press, but bad press that they put out.

  8. Am I the only one.... on Short Film About CERN's Large Hadron Collider · · Score: 0, Redundant

    That read this as hardon collider and then get confused to why this is on Slashdot?

  9. Salty Ipods? on New Nano Desalinization Method · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one that wondered why my Ipod Nano need to be desalinized?
