  1. Re:fooled me on Steam Not Coming To Linux · · Score: 1

    Just support Ubuntu (or if you can afford it, Redhat and Suse) and let all the other distros figure out how to do this themselves. It has been said before in Linux gaming threads.

  2. Re:yea. on Researchers Zero In On Protein That Destroys HIV · · Score: 1

    Did you know that women who are on the pill choose lovers in a different way than women that are not?

    They pick men with more similar genome to theirs. That's why doctors recommend women to stay away from the pill 6 months before they decide that this is the man they want to spend the rest of their lives.

  3. Re:Slightly OT: Modern fun, fast FPS like Doom 1 & on id Software Demos Rage On iPhone, Releases Source Code For Two Games · · Score: 1

    Serious Sam: the first and second encounter. They have also made an HD version with better graphics.

  4. Re:I understand... on Google Secret Privacy Document Leaked · · Score: 1

    Without wanting to troll you, maybe, just maybe, Facebook knows you better than yourself.

  5. Re:"Demonstrates..." on Dell and HP To Sell Oracle Operating Systems · · Score: 1

    Not trying to troll here, but how about this?

  6. Re:Walled garden discussions on An iPhone App Store That Apple Doesn't Control · · Score: 1

    services where you can buy mp3s, allofmp3 (gone, I know), torrent, rapidshare :P

  7. Re:What do you expect? on jQuery Dev Bemoans Overwhelming Spam On Google Groups · · Score: 1

    What you just said is something I hear from people who want to imply (or directly conclude) that just because you don't pay for something it doesn't have to been of good quality.

    With which I disagree.

    But even if it was true, you pay Google Groups with your eyeballs. I mean the ads, the ads of Google in general.

  8. Re:I never trusted the whole cloud thing on Why Cloud Storage Is Lousy For Enterprises (and Individuals) · · Score: 1

    Maybe the parent meant that some data are more valuable than a house. Or a rented house. But then again, if you have so much valuable data, then storing it to the cloud may not be a good idea :P

  9. Manhack Arcade from Half-Life 2 on Real-LIfe Distributed-Snooping Web Game To Launch In Britain · · Score: 1

    This reminds of me of a cut level from Half-Life 2, Manhack Arcarde: http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Manhack_Arcade

  10. Re:Unintended consequeces on French Deputies Want Labels On Photo-Altered Models · · Score: 1

    First of, it's a cartoon. Second pixelation is so apparent that noone is going to get comfused in such a way by it.

  11. Sneakers (1992) on Code-Breaking Quantum Algorithm On a Silicon Chip · · Score: 1

    This is the theme for the movie Sneakers: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105435/

  12. Re:Why mess with it on An Argument For Leaving DNS Control In US Hands · · Score: 1

    Sorry, you are right. I should have searched before I ask.

  13. Re:I love slashdot, but... on SourceForge To Acquire Development Portal Ohloh.net · · Score: 1

    Impressive!

    But where did you find this number?

  14. Re:Why mess with it on An Argument For Leaving DNS Control In US Hands · · Score: 1

    And what is this then?

  15. Re:How much money changed hands? on Asus Slaps Linux In the Face · · Score: 1

    If you go to http://asus.co.uk/ it redirects you to uk.asus.com.

  16. Re:Am I the only one? on Speaking With the Blizzard Cinematics Team · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who could care less about cinematics in video games?

    No. But this doesn't make them less cool.

  17. Re:No, probably not on Polaroid Lovers Try To Revive Its Instant Film · · Score: 1

    Will you show us/me some of the pictures you take? I mean both, Polaroid snashots you have took in the bast, or digital pictures for you job.

  18. Re:My Kingdom for a Datagrid Element! on HTML 5 As a Viable Alternative To Flash? · · Score: 1

    https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook : no Flash; javascript unnecessary

    You need JavaScript to use the drop-down menu that changes from one country to another. They could have done this with a simple submit button though. Even if the button was there for noscript situations. Buggers!

  19. Re:Naturalistic fallacy on Reliable Male Contraceptive In the Works · · Score: 1

    Organ transplants are there to give you back the typical function you have at a given age, not make you (feel or be) younger.

  20. Re:If past performance is a current indicator... on Tesla's New York Laboratory Up For Sale · · Score: 1

    What the heck is YOUR point? It wouldn't matter if he came up with it in 1498 - a crappy idea is a crappy idea, regardless of when it's thought up.

    That you can base future good ideas on current bad ideas.

  21. Re:Nowhere near the same on Battle Lines Being Drawn As Obama Plans To Curb Tax Avoidance · · Score: 1

    How is this relevant to what he said?

    But even so, there are no taxes for online purchases at this point.

  22. Re:Just Quake on Quake Live Dev Says Mac and Linux Are "Top Priority" · · Score: 1

    I don't think so, and I don't want to. But this facility can be implemented with a website that will simply show the current state of matches, not require for me to go through the web interface to play a match.

    QuakeLive is in a web interface because of the hype around web apps.

  23. Re:Spambot on Warehouse or No, UK's Expensive Net Spying Plan Proceeds · · Score: 1

    Tor is not about privacy, it's about anonymity. If you want privacy then you encrypt, like ssh.

  24. Re:Why not just use Bittorrent instead? on Would You Pay For YouTube Videos? · · Score: 1

    You are talking about feature films? If yes then I agree. But the user-generated material? NO! We (I?) will just find a better (cheaper) way to spend time. Like post on Slashdot :P

  25. Re:Really? What Exacty Is Your Suggestion? on Al-Qaeda Used Basic Codes, Calling Cards, Hotmail · · Score: 1

    Please give example of "simplest precautions".
