  1. Re:/. is once again a full day behind reddit and d on Beating Procrastination with Self-Imposed Deadlines · · Score: 1

    > Yeah! Just like that cheerleader whore we all fucked in junior year.

    I'm sorry, you must be confused; he said that this was Slashdot, not Digg.

  2. Nice on GTA Trilogy Coming To PS2 · · Score: 1

    > I don't own any GTA titles at the moment, so this might be a good buy for me.

    At that price, for three games, I'd go for it.

  3. Re:a learning experience on Social Networks Attract Malware Authors · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Are you sure they'll even know where the malware came from/how they were infected?

    Even if they're told, will they believe it?

  4. Oh, well that's OK then... on Cheating At Roulette May Be Legal In UK · · Score: 1

    It has been tested by a government lab

    So that's where my tax money goes? Why does the government pay for this research, why not a casino or something?

  5. Re:Bad news for the UK on Wii Now Confirmed to Not be Region-Free · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's because we have to pay an extra 17.5% Value Added Tax (VAT).

    And, I could be wrong, but there are stricter rule sin the UK about importing some of the chemicals used in technology (leaded solder etc.?).

    Oh, and our TVs are PAL over here; that means different hardware.

  6. Re:Not available in UK on Locking Up Linux, Creating a Cryptobook · · Score: 1
  7. Re:The Real Napster on Google Makes Peace With Media Companies · · Score: 1

    Technically speaking, an MP3 cannot be spidere very well because filename is not as significant as content and a non-text content is near impossible to interpret.

    Try sticking filetype:mp3 on the end of your query.

    However, sometimes when searching for lyrics I get a picture of the album at the top of the results with more info about it; I suppose Google could strike up a deal to include links to where to buy the song.

  8. I used to play... on 40 Percent of World of Warcraft Players Addicted · · Score: 1

    That's exactly why I stopped playing WoW - I just couldn't keep up with a guild. I have school and work and a social life (yeah I'll just leave my geek membership card here, shall I?).

    There was no way that I'd be able to find enough time to level up and go on all raids and guild activities etc.

  9. Re:And on and on and on... on UK ISP PlusNet Accidentally Deletes 700GB of Email · · Score: 1

    I've never had any problems with NTL, but apparently their customer service sucks (I've never had to use it, just what I've heard).

  10. Re:How do you broach the subject? on Tomorrow is System Administrator Day 2006 · · Score: 0

    Well, assuming your place of work runs Windows boxes

    > msg * "OK, listen up you ungrateful bastards..."

  11. Oh Noes! on Start-Up Delivers Open Source Offerings to Build User Base · · Score: 2, Funny

    I think I hear the sound of a chair hitting a wall!

  12. Re:This won't take very long on TiVo to Measure Ad-Skipping · · Score: 0

    Well you don't look like a /. subscriber...?

    I guess you must get your internet access for free then because /. has ads on it and I *KNOW* that you visit Slashdot...

  13. Sweet Mother of Potatoes! on 2.5Gb/s Internet For French Homes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oh the sweet, sweet pr0n! Holy crap, I wish I lived in France!

    Wait, did I just say what I think I said...?

  14. It Ain't All That Great... on Ancient Reptile Had Wings Like a Fighter Jet · · Score: 1

    Did I see this on The Flintstones once...?

  15. Re:U.S. Hacking Officials? on State Department Hit With Many More Break-Ins · · Score: 1

    It's a good thing they've got the plumbers in; didn't you hear about how the internet tubes are being clogged up by all the films?

  16. Re:$%*&^! web-designer BS on A Day in the Life of a Spyware Company · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but Moz' based browsers are extensible!

    $10 says the site renders fine, minus some dodgy JavaScript or weird CSS hacks.

  17. Re:Ok, so who's better... on Dell Chastized Over Customer Service · · Score: 1

    Well if you're in th UK, I'd reccommemd Scan or MESH.

    My father has bought from MESH a couple of times and not had any problems and although I've never bought a prebuilt from Scan, when I needed some advice they responded to my emails - before I'd even bought anything - in a friendly manor. I don't know about their customer support though, because I've never had to use it.
