  1. The new slashdot interface on The Insidious Creep of Latency Hell · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It actually drives me insane, it is markedly worse, I read less stories because of it (because I do not like the feel of the site so much).

    I would bet most of the actual slashdot users feel (think ?) the same way. Why is there no mass appeal to change it back / forward in a more reasonable (i.e., simpler) direction ?

  2. Re:Room on the island? on Bin Laden's Death Causes Twitter Record · · Score: 1

    Hey no prob, as you see, I was trolling myself. Sometimes my fingers just cannot resist. :P

  3. Re:Room on the island? on Bin Laden's Death Causes Twitter Record · · Score: 0

    > Well, Bin Laden had taken over Hitler's spot of "Evilest Guy Alive" for quite a few years.

    Well, what ? What has he done ? 9/11 doesn't count. He is not even comparable to Hitler, and Hitler was not really that bad, provided you have anti-semitic beliefs (which seems to be a really no-no these days, what could be the source of this stigma ? I mean, it seems to be ok to hate other people of arabic (jews are arabs with different religion) descent, and they are just trying to get by, not accruing unwarranted wealth and manipulating the masses).

  4. Re:It is also the reverse in that you control it on Assange: Facebook 'the Most Appalling Spy Machine' Ever · · Score: 1

    Peer pressure to be truthful to your friends and also the mentioned effect peer-rumor (your friends truthfully, or not, talking about you regardless of your consent) really meat up the known facts about you.

    I am too big a pervert though, to poke my face in facebook :D As long as my interests are illegal, I shall be asocial in the area of those interests.

  5. Re:I think it uses household chemicals on The Chemical-Free Chemistry Kit · · Score: 1

    > it's possible that the kit really doesn't come with chemicals

    I rather think it is very impossible, as it cannot avoid coming with a staple chemicals of complex carbon chains that are usually not very fit for human digestion (cows would do ok tho, except for maybe mild poisoning).

    Also, if seems to contain some silicium dioxide. It is known (in very small doses) to cause extreme irritation, it can also cause death by making you bleed internally (potentially).

    ALSO, if I cause said chemistry set to enter the state of rapid oxidation, the fumes that result may or may not contain trace amounts of potentially hazardous chemicals, that are now floating free in your neighbourhood atmosphere (if it has plastic coverings of any kind).

  6. Re:what is a chemical anyway? on The Chemical-Free Chemistry Kit · · Score: 1

    > protect the children!

    NEWSFLASH !!!

    Children are made of chemicals.

    Also, children are known to cause hair loss to the state of California.

    It is only a matter of time until THEY (whoever they may be) figure out that human spirit is made of chemicals and shit really hits the fan.

    So Mother Gaias Spunk is ok, but Dihydrogen Monoxide is industrial evil ?

  8. In this thread on Taking the Fun Out of StarCraft II · · Score: 1

    Many people who suck and should not play it are trying to shift the fault on the game, which is total bollocks.

    To me, challenge and effort (rel, blood-stained effort) some of the few things in life that provide a source of satisfaction. You could call it your mythical "Fun". I don't even know what it is and how can something ruin it, your "Fun" must be a really frail quality.

    When I program, I do not feel "Fun", I feel satisfaction of doing it as it is, likewise, I am not afraid to lose, therefore Starcraft 2 is actually VERY satisfying, as it makes me learn many things to advance (and feel true, manly satisfaction of becoming stronger).

  9. Nice troll. on YouTube Now Transcoding All New Uploads To WebM · · Score: 0

    Nice troll.

  10. One missing browser tho on YouTube Now Transcoding All New Uploads To WebM · · Score: 1

    Not for a long time, but still, Seamonkey stable still does not support WebM, it is in upcoming 2.1 as I understand. Seamonkey does not represent a large portion of clients, of course.

  11. Re:I used to collect DVDs on Why Has Blu-ray Failed To Catch Hold? · · Score: 1

    Better format, like .ogm or mkv ?

    I am only half kidding.

  12. Too bad on Which Comic Character Is the Greatest Engineer? · · Score: 1

    Known Space has no comic form.

  13. Re:Looking back now, it was a terrible mistake on Journey To the Mantle of the Earth By 2020 · · Score: 1

    "a tank that can repair itself, operate itself, reproduce itself, adapt to new environments, and is built from and powered by materials it scavenged and assembled from its environment"

    All except reproduction, read a very absorbing book "Cemetery World" by Clifford D. Simak, one of my favorite authors ever.... Ahh good times.

  14. These are not ideas on 'I Just Need a Programmer' · · Score: 2

    This is wishful thinking.

    A real good idea is indistinguishable from implementation.

  15. Oh crap no ! on FCC To Vote On Net Neutrality On December 21 · · Score: 1

    The Eve of the Festival approaches ...

  16. Naw dude on Curious NASA Pre-Announcement · · Score: 1

    They found green meadow like surface, anomalous IR output and strangely increased gravitation in Charon, the Pluto's satellite.

    Thanks for reminding me, truly an amazing book.

  18. Re:The TSA has not changed policy on A Peek At the National Opt-Out Day Numbers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    > Which, of course, is really quite ironic: during a period when you probably want real, functional security procedures the most (ie, when > the most people are traveling), the TSA has to ratchet down their policies in order to handle the load...

    Which proves that, the scanners are there not to protect people at the most vulnerable travel day if you would look at it from common sense perspective, but rather, to train the cattle to be more obedient cattle.

  19. Re:It's worse. on A Peek At the National Opt-Out Day Numbers · · Score: 1

    Woohoo ! You did it America !

    You "voted" yourself into a shoebox !

  20. Re:Get to the root of the problem ... on Students Banned From Bringing Pencils To School · · Score: 1

    Like writing SUBVERSIVE NOTES on FLYERS and handing them out to UNSUSPECTING STRANGERS.

  21. Re:How about some real news on Enlightenment ... on GNU/Linux and Enlightenment Running On a Fridge · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually, if you're using anything like debian unstable, you can apt-get the 16.999 build, which is pretty stable, despite some really annoying bugs and quirks, and shows off the capabilities pretty well.

  22. Re:Rise of the triad on FPS Games That Need a Remake · · Score: 1

    Most ludicrous level design + the last boss made a really creepy clacking sound which somehow made my spine tingle with creepiness. So creepy.

    A unique game.

    But looking at my utorrent stats, I see - last 31 days, Transferred 3.49 TB. And that's mostly uploads - I didn't download anything seriously.

    From where I see it, you people should flex some self-government muscle, and make your land worth living in. You created the situation you find yourselves in.

    Be careful of what you wish for - this would naturally lead to a 25th frame.... OF ADS !
