Slashdot videos: Now with more Slashdot!

Currently, I can watch Netflix on my TV using my 360. I'm assuming that capability will strangely disappear soon.

They're testing their software in an accurate environment? They're not pushing beta testing onto their users?! Preposterous!

Firefox equipped with NoScript and Adblock Plus will do 99% of that without having to write code.

You know, I was so disappointed with Fallout 3, that I said I would never buy another Bethesda game immediately after release; I would wait until it had been patched. But when I heard that New Vegas used the Fallout 3 engine, I figured I'd buy the game at release. Surely, they would have fixed the bugs in this new release!

That's what I get for having faith in humanity.

Get some of the DLCs for Fallout 3, and then you'll see some serious bugs. Heck, the "Broken Steel" quest can't even be completed on my PS3 because the game freezes so much.

The PS3 version of New Vegas is pretty freaking bad. There are several areas I can't even walk into because a bunch of strange polygons fill up the screen and make it so I can't even figure out where I'm going.

In the defense of the Elder Scrolls series, I have never once had a significant bug on the XBOX 360 version of Oblivion. Note, however, that I purchased the Game of the Year edition, which was fully patched.

I didn't require graphing calculator functionality for any of my college physics classes--I only needed a basic scientific calculator with trigonometric functions.

Outlaw all electronic devices except (non-graphing) scientific calculators. If a student needs a dictionary, tell him/her/it to get an old-school paper dictionary. The test is open book to begin with, so what's another book?

I always look at poor service in a restaurant as saving me money--because I only leave a single dollar for the tip. (I leave a single dollar, because leaving no tip might make them think I simply forgot. No, I didn't forget; you simply suck at being a server.) OTOH, I have been known to leave 30% tips for absolutely stellar service.

But there is no competition in Farmville... Buying credits gives you no "leg up" on your friends.

You're telling me that limited free distribution of copyrighted work can act as an advertisement for said work? Unpossible!

So you're saying that this is all a conspiracy?, that this is some sort of bullying on the school playground?

"Stop picking on poor, defenseless Apple! Can't you see you're hurting Steve Jobs' feelings?!"

According to TFA, a Microsoft spokeshuman didn't even know about the toolbar being forcefully installed:

"The worst part of this issue is that Microsoft does not seem to be aware of it: a Microsoft spokesperson simply pointed us to the aforementioned Microsoft Support page that inaccurately describes the update. We asked the company for an explanation of why the extension was installed and what it does, but have yet to receive a reply."

People should not be afraid of their governments; governments should be afraid of their people.
