  1. Re:Battered spouse syndrome writ large on PS3 Lines Already Forming In America · · Score: 1

    After reading too much slashdot I expect to see a "Profit!" whenever I see ... But I guess in this case it would have made the ...'s hard to explain.

  2. Re:We're not ready for IPv6 yet. on Every Vista Computer Gets Its Own Domain Name · · Score: 1
    With IPv6, there are (effectively) an unlimited number of IP addresses available for spammers. "Effectively" because no one is going to run a database big enough to track them as fast as the spammers change them. Every message could come from its own IP address on a cracked system.

    Yeah, let's not build more roads, I know those few we have are jammed all the time, but if we build more it will be too easy for the bank robbers to get away.
  3. Re:Humans are Entropy on What Earth Without People Would Look Like · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We're not abnormalities. We were created by the eco-system. Then we gamed the (eco)system and beat it.

    Say that again next time mother nature sends a hurricane, tornado etc. Or even worse, a large asteroid. I would say we are quite vunerable, and that won't change until we have settlements on other celestial bodies that are (or could become) self-sufficient.

  4. Re:Doesn't work on white boards either on A GUI For Books · · Score: 1

    I'm from Sweden and I actually haven't seen a single black board since the 80s, there are probably a few still around, though most have been replaced by white boards. We actually call them "white board" using english and not swedish even though we used to call the black boards "svarta tavlan" (swedish for "the black board")

  5. Doesn't work on white boards either on A GUI For Books · · Score: 5, Funny

    (C'mon, don't tell me you've never pressed on a URL on a printed page and expected something to happen.)

    Back in high school my chemistry teacher once started wiping the white board before everyone had finished taking notes. A girl in class said "No, wait", the teacher stopped halfway through and said "Oh, sorry". Then he drew an undo button (like the one in, for example, MS Word) on the board and pushed it with his hand and said "Well it didn't work, maybe you could just copy someone elses notes".

  6. Re:Order on Firefly Marathon on SciFi, September 18th · · Score: 2, Informative

    From TFA:
    This time around, they're starting with "Serenity parts 1 & 2" and ending with "War Stories." The eleven episode marathon starts at 8am (eastern).

  7. Re:Gone are the days? on Office 2007 Delayed Again · · Score: 1

    Yeah but oh the pain of waiting for Battlefield 1942.

  8. Re: The simple answer is... on String Theory a Disaster for Physics? · · Score: 1

    Everything can not be possible, there can never exist a universe where it can be positively proven that no other universe exists. Except if it's this one. Or this one actually doesn't exist.

  9. Re:Wii controller not perfect? on Super Smash Brothers Wii, Featuring Solid Snake · · Score: 1

    Why do people always believe there must be one single perfect solution for everything? The right tool for the right task at the right time I say.

    Some games are meant to be played with a traditional handheld controller: fighting games, platform games etc, other games are best played with mouse and keyboard: strategy games (requiers a lot of clicking around the screen fast) and (possibly up until now) FPS games.

    The Wii controller is a new tool that looks like a lot of fun, especially for shooters, but to believe it must be the perfect tool for all kinds of games or else it is a faliure is just stupid.

  10. Re:Why I'm ashamed to be an American in the 21st c on Bethesda Responds To Oblivion Re-Rating · · Score: 1

    I get why you were modded funny. A ./er losing his virginity. Hilarious!
