  1. Re:It broke Dragon Age II as well! on DRM Broke Dragon Age: Origins For Days · · Score: 2

    And if you WANT to play destitute refugees selling handjobs in the alleys...well, look elsewhere, because DA2 isn't the handjob simulator I was hoping for.

  2. Marketing fail on New Chili Is World's Hottest · · Score: 1

    "The chili is so scorching that Marcel and his team have to wear protective gear when handling the new variety."

    Yeah, that's the case with most of the hotter peppers. Nice ad, though, Slashdot.

  3. Re:Not proof, hearsay. on FBI Releases Document Confirming Roswell UFO · · Score: 1

    "thankfully another nutso who is so doggedly bent on ignoring reality slapping his face"

    It's interesting that you think the "nutsos" are the ones who *don't* believe in wild, unsubstantiated claims. And by "interesting" I mean "hilarious."

    "'no further investigation was attempted' in secret service jargon means 'we have been told not to interfere'. "

    I did not know that. What does it mean in FBI jargon? (To bring the conversation back around to something having anything at all to do with this document that has nothing to do with the Secret Service.)

  4. Re:Its proof enough. dont sweat it. get over it. on FBI Releases Document Confirming Roswell UFO · · Score: 1

    "its a fucking fbi document using clear words like STATED and whatnot."

    Yes. Let me clear this up for you: Informant tells USAF investigator that saucers were recovered. USAF investigator *states* this to Special Agent [redacted], who tells his superior, who files it in a report to the Director. This situation would result in the document you saw with no further explanation needed. Note that, as written, any of the three people from the USAF investigator through SAC Hottel could have used the words "so-called" in describing the saucers.

    "why the fuck are you trying SO hard to still reject and ignore ?"

    You've got that backward there, cowpoke. I don't have to try hard at all to reject something for which there is zero evidence. I don't need to put any effort whatsoever into not believing in sky fairies of any stripe. You can scream about "OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT FUCKING DOCUMENTS LOL" all you want, but you've already been slapped down hard on this count in other threads, so no need to rehash it here.

    No, no, he's cool with the word "fucking." "Belgium" is a whole other level of obscene, though, and I can understand why some would self-censor.

    "its not 'an informant'. its USAF INVESTIGATOR telling FBI investigator."

    That's not what it says.

    The investigator is written as "SA [redacted]," the SA standing for special agent. The top of the document says the information was given to SA [redacted] by [redacted], presumably the investigator. However, the middle part says that Mr. [redacted]'s INFORMANT told him about the saucers.

    In other words, some unnamed third party told the USAF investigator there were some flyin' saucery thingamajiggers recovered at Roswell, which the investigator passed on to the FBI investigator. Nothing to see here.

  9. Re:It's Official. Firefox has jumped the shark! on Firefox 5 Scheduled For June 21 Release · · Score: 1

    Is the MR Tech plugin supported on 4.0 yet? I'm on 3.6 and like the fact that I can kill addon compatibility checking all at once, without having to manually edit files on every plugin I know still works. I installed 4.0 on my wife's new Win7 system and MR Tech was still unsupported as of last week.

    (Yes, I can update its max compatibility string by hand, but as deeply as it integrates with FF, I'm afraid that will critically break something.)

    On the contrary, it's a great notion. Too many people suck at raising kids.

    One of the licensing questions could be "T/F: it is acceptable to treat the toy section of the store you're shopping in as a surrogate babysitter while you are in another department."

  25. Derp on First Brit Prosecuted Over Twitter Libel · · Score: 1, Interesting

    "The fine works out at more than £2,400 per word."

    On the topic of meaningless algebra, if you express the length of a regulation football (American) field in cm it also works out to just under £5 per cm.

    If he were in free fall at terminal velocity for 10 seconds, he'd be spending over £96 for every meter he fell. That's a lot of money!

    Or we could stop expressing numbers idiotically and just say he was fined £3,000 and charged £50,000 in legal costs.
