  1. We all know... on More Devs Going Indie, To Gamers' Benefit · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There will always be a market for quality.

  2. Re:I remember putting it on a 486 on Windows 95 Turns 15 · · Score: 1

    It's amazing how relatively expensive computer hardware was back then. Or maybe we all got richer...

  3. Re:woot on UK ISP To Prioritize Gaming Traffic · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not only that but Demon is the very worst ISP I've ever had the misfortune of being stuck in a 1 year contract with. Prioritised speeds on a shitty network wih clueless customer service is worthless.

  4. Re:Its possible on Belgian ISP Claims One Customer Downloads 2.7TB · · Score: 1

    I'm on the 50Mb package which doesn't get throttled (yet).

  5. Re:So, Conspiracy Theories Are /. Worthy Now? on Russian Scholar Warns Of US Climate Change Weapon · · Score: 1

    Isn't Slashdot itself a Commie Pinko Cyber-Warfare Conspiracy to lower IT productivity in english speaking countries?

  6. Re:So, we could say... on Man Takes Up Internal Farming · · Score: 1

    He must be peased.

  7. Re:C-sharp on How Can an Old-School Coder Regain His Chops? · · Score: 1

    It sounds like he wants to avoid GUI programming though. I suggest being a server-side Java dev for him.

  8. Re:Better Google than Amazon... on Google Nabs Patent To Monitor Your Cursor Movement · · Score: 4, Funny

    I wouldn't want to deal with no-click shopping.

    My wife already handles this for me. :(

  9. Re:Do not RTFA, the summary is TFA on The Puzzle of Japanese Web Design · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Exactly. If you've ever seen a Japanese news paper you would know that they can be quite visually overpowering. Not because of kanji or anything but because of liberal use of color, dramatic fonts and a high density of articles per page. For some reason they just don;t find it as overpowering as we do. So why should Japanese websites be any different?

    Stay tuned until after the break where we show you Europeans sophisticated complicated food, Africans display amazing ability for dance and South Americans demonstrate impeccable soccer skills...

  10. Re:Yes on Does Anyone Really Prefer Glossy Screens? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I can't stand going back to matte as it looks like the whole screen is dirty.

    I can't understand this. Every Desktop LCD I've ever used is matte and it doesn't look dirty. Why should this apply to laptops?

  11. Re:Not just internet on Internet Access While Sailing? (Revisited) · · Score: 3, Funny

    A+++ yuck. Would spew again.

  12. Re:Stock price is falling too on iPhone 4 Reception Recall Ruckus Roundup · · Score: 1

    I don't believe there is any other way to interpret it.

  13. Re:Matrix Jokes ... on DARPA To Turn Humans Into Batteries · · Score: 2, Funny

    1984 wasn't supposed to be a guide book. Oh wait, I mean The Matrix...

  14. Re:It's the principle of the thing and more. on Droid X Self-Destructs If You Try To Mod · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The thing is, the great unwashed masses are probably never going to know or care that this is in there sadly.

    The type of "geniuses" that work in mobile phone shops aren't going to be able to explain what it does or why either.

  15. Re:Stock price is falling too on iPhone 4 Reception Recall Ruckus Roundup · · Score: 1

    Yeah. That was tumbleweed...

  16. Re:Stock price is falling too on iPhone 4 Reception Recall Ruckus Roundup · · Score: 5, Funny

    iPhone 4 Reception Recall Ruckus Roundup

    I'm more interested in why CmdrTaco sounds like the narrator from Wacky Races.

  17. Re:Get ready for.... on Ballmer Says Microsoft Is 'Hardcore' About Tablets · · Score: 1

    They're easier throw than chairs.

  18. Re:Progress on this front is good on Antibody Discovered To Boost HIV Vaccines · · Score: 1

    Also, this just gives more real-estate for the remaining 10% to spread. See DDT for reference. Undoubtedly DDT saved a lot of lives but it's only a dip in the upward trend.

  19. Re:security holes of releasing source code on Microsoft Opens Source Code To KGB's Successor Agency · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yes, but I'm looking forward to Vindows 7.

  20. Re:Retro NES USB Controller on Where Are the Joysticks For Retro Gaming? · · Score: 1

    After a little bit of searching, I would perhaps try this:

    Tekken 6 Arcade Stick coupled with this XBOX 360 Crossfire adapter to use it on your PC.

    Maybe not a bad solution for £39.98.

  21. Re:Retro NES USB Controller on Where Are the Joysticks For Retro Gaming? · · Score: 1

    I have USB converters for original N64, SNES and PSX controllers. I also bought a couple of chinese made SNES clone USB joypads from some store in Akihabara. Maybe rather than finding something new, you could look for USB adapters?

  22. Re:Maybe something everybody can use? on No iPhone Apps, Please — We're British · · Score: 1

    Websites work just fine from a phone

    Not my phone you insensitive clod! Now get off my lawn!

  23. Re:Obesity? on Should Cities Install Moving Sidewalks? · · Score: 1

    That's grim.

  24. Re:Good News is... on Parasite Correlated With World Cup Success · · Score: 1

    It's not really a World Cup, it's a European-South American Cup

    What is this World Series you speak of?

  25. Re:Increasing exposure leads to stronger immune sy on 'Forest Bathing' Considered Healthful · · Score: 1

    I think it is astounding. I just shows how little we understand about the immune system still.
