  1. Re:Hmm on London Lawyers Demand £600 For One Game · · Score: 1

    torrentspy.com admin I presume?

  2. Re:Yahoo is worth more than M$ offered on Why Yahoo Turned Microsoft Down · · Score: 2

    I was going to hop on that bandwagon but I think I'm going to hold for a couple weeks. I feel a big announcement coming soon and I want to let the current holders fester scared first before I grab their goods at a lower price.

    *sigh* I love capitalism!

  3. Re:Am I missing something here? on Satan, Britney Spears Top Paris Hilton In OSS References · · Score: 3, Funny

    Only problem with that is that it saves the text in a green-on-black grainy medium. The producers only adjective to describe the tape is "hawt."

  4. Re:50%? on Creative Sued for Base-10 Capacities On HDD MP3 Players · · Score: 2, Funny

    or Gb instead of GB... x8!

  5. Re:SLASHDOT SUX0RZ on Why Life On Mars May Foretell Our Doom · · Score: 1

    For a measly 5 bucks Mr. Troll can get a preview of at least 1000 pages. Seems like a cheap form of advertisement...maybe he's the Goatse webmaster? Or maybe he's just a /. editor?

  6. Re:Pigeons on Pidgin Controversy Triggers Fork · · Score: 1

    Looks like Vista...

  7. Re:I have said it before on Post-Suicide Account Cracking? · · Score: 1

    Isn't attempted suicide a crime anyway? Seems like a convenient clause for the insurance companies.

  8. XP x64 on Details On Windows XP SP3 Leaked · · Score: 1

    As XP x64 follows the Server 2003 SP model, this does not apply. 2003 is currently on SP2, I don't see a date for sp3 (if there is one at all.) I found this at: http://news.softpedia.com/news/64-Bit-Windows-XP-Service-Pack-3-73982.shtml

  9. Re:verticle (interesting) on Solar Powered Microbes Manufacture Biofuels · · Score: 1

    Vertical farms use lights that emit little green light, so the plants absorb the most energy with the least amount of external energy spent. I've not yet seen a design that merely utilizes solar energy: this is a picture of a proposed design at night:

    They commonly refer to methane recycling to make up for the need to draw from the power grid though.

  10. Re:What's the draw? on Guillermo del Toro Will Direct "The Hobbit" · · Score: 1

    Del Toro's best when he's most weird (have you ever seen Mimic?!?!?) and I have to agree...the hardcore LOTR fans are going to flip if even minimal artistic license is used, and Del Toro will be put into a box that he might not be able to fit. I really hope this works, and I'm looking forward to seeing it, but I'm also bracing myself for bad reviews regardless of how it really is.

  11. Re:That reminds me on Guillermo del Toro Will Direct "The Hobbit" · · Score: 0

    We don't need no stinking badges!

  12. Re:Good Multiplayer PC games on PC Gaming Suggestions for Console-like Fun? · · Score: 1

    Nice I was going to add the top two.

    A couple more places to look:
    Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (here)
    List of (now) freeware games (here)

  13. Re:Goat Skin works fine... on Storing Data For the Next 1,000 Years · · Score: 1

    No links, please! :-)

    I know now for a fact I've been permanently scarred, because at the mere mention of a GOAT on /. gives me the shakes.

  14. Re:Cool on Unreleased Atari 2600 Game Found At Flea Market · · Score: 1

    Nah, by then they'll be on the PS9

  15. Re:Not bashing on iGoogle Launches Developer Sandbox · · Score: 1

    Hmm, funny because it's quite clear he's saying he WAS interested until he saw the licensing, implying the licensing was in some way bad. He then proceeds to say the licensing is fine. Either irony or stupidity and regardless the joke went way over your head. Peace

  16. Re:Not bashing on iGoogle Launches Developer Sandbox · · Score: 1

    It is acceptable, yet you were excited about the prospect of playing with it (word, who cares) until you read about its licensing? So...the license is acceptable, yet reeking with contagious apathy? I don't get it.

  17. Re:On your marks, get set... on Cyber Defense Competition Has A New Champion · · Score: 1

    ESPN Mil Trescientos Treinta Siete!

  18. Re:So, adds in space. The game? on NASA Wants its MMO Created for Free · · Score: 1

    I would do it for free just so I could put my new company name "NASA Sucks" brand everywhere.

  19. Re:Surely there's an easier way...? on Japan's Cyborg Research Enters the Skull · · Score: 1

    No. A penis that shoots cannonballs.

  20. Re:Surely there's an easier way...? on Japan's Cyborg Research Enters the Skull · · Score: 1

    But then you would have to get used to shaking with your OTHER hand... (haha, get what I did there?)

    "No matter how much you shake and dance, that last bit of dribble goes down your pants."

  21. Re:Surely there's an easier way...? on Japan's Cyborg Research Enters the Skull · · Score: 4, Funny

    Make it a mega-gun and you have a deal... I have no use for another mini-gun.

  22. Re:WHAT!?! on Senator Proposes to Monitor All P2P Traffic for Illegal Files · · Score: 1

    No but you have to pay us $2000 for us to not extort you further...
    With love

    ~RIAA

  23. Re:Randomness eh? Well then... on Software to Randomize Police Operations at LAX · · Score: 1

    I seem to remember throwing matches (a single finger) when I decided that I was done playing.
    BURN!

  24. Re:What's with all these registries? on Consumer Groups Advocate for 'Do Not Track' Registry · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Just what I want. A database with my personal information that people can access to see if the personal information they already have should be used... How would this be policed world wide? What would stop someone who is already breaking 500 laws from ripping THAT info and using it? At the very least they would have to provide SOME sort of validation, and that alone scares me.

  25. Re:Now I'm completly lost on The Milky Way's Black Hole Is Not So Quiescent · · Score: 1

    ...you racist.

    (I'm kidding! Better than my first Michael Jackson joke...)
