  1. Re:We'll miss you, google video on Google Video Becomes Search-Only, YouTube Holds Content · · Score: 1

    The nice thing about google video was that it worked and it was simple. You could resize the video arbitrarily. Unfortunately simplicity and functionality doesn't make money.
    Because Google Search doesn't make any profit...?
  2. Re:I smell a movie coming! on Rare Shark Filmed in Japan · · Score: 1

    How about Sharks on a Plane?
    Hmm. That might be flawed somewhere..

  3. Re:WGA only catches 99% of the XP installs... on One In Five Windows Installs Is Non-Genuine · · Score: 1

    I don't like running Internet Explorer.. I feel so.. naked.
    Fortunately there are some sites (http://windowsupdate.62nds.com/) that allow you to run Windows updates on Firefox.

  4. Re:*Video* gaming on The Fundamentals of Gaming · · Score: 1

    Can we please at least try to acknowledge there is gaming in the world other than video gaming? You must be new here!
    This is Slashdot. News for NERDS. The only games other than Video games are table-top ones.
    (Takes the karma hit :P)
  5. Re:LULZ on Largest Ever Online Robbery Hits Swedish Bank · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Virtucon alone makes 9 billion dollars a year. They should have stole ONE HUNDRED.. BILLION DOLLARS!

  6. Re:facial hair on The Hidden Engineering Gender Gap · · Score: 4, Funny

    In a Dwarven way.
    "It's true you don't see many Engineering women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for engineering men!
    And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no engineering women, and that engineers just spring out of holes in the ground!"
    (Blatant Two Towers Gimli reference)

  7. Re:Here is the truth on Inside MySpace.com · · Score: 1

    With glitter effects and a song that automatically plays when you go in it
    Oh the horror!!

  8. Re:Why is it so hard? on Inside MySpace.com · · Score: 1

    Which is why they should be banned off my intarwebs!

  9. Re:This is pointless on The First HD DVD Movie Hits BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    But all those were 720p HD.. the one in question is 1080p, so it's the first 'full' HD quality. It makes a differance on some of the big 42" + HDTVs, I guess.

  10. Re:Like Region Coding, Then on DRM — It's Not Really About Piracy · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is almost like Region coded Slashdot..

  11. Re:Any photos? on Comet McNaught Visible in Broad Daylight · · Score: 1

    Slashdot moderation has never been more accurate..

  12. Obligatory on Formula For Procrastination Found · · Score: 2, Funny

    I already came up with the formula, I was just too lazy to publish it.

  13. Tubes on Teacher Found Guilty of Endangering Kids Due to Spyware · · Score: 1

    While I think the accusation is horribly out of proportion, this just goes to show that Americas series of tubes is clogged with this filth. Is it the teachers fault that one of those tubes had porn in? I don't think so.

  14. Re:Ugh... on Pirate Bay to Purchase Sealand? · · Score: 1

    Arrr, it be called plundering and pillaging.

  15. Re:Theres a problems with this. on Pirate Bay to Purchase Sealand? · · Score: 1

    Pirate Bay would get cut off in a heart beat.
    I consider that an act of War!
    Good thing the Pirate Bay is called so for a reason.
  16. Re:So... on MPAA Caught Uploading Fake Torrents · · Score: 1

    Interestingly, though, I wonder if paying two people to have sex with each other is technically illegal.
    No, it isn't. Go to a courtroom and watch the lawyers screw each other over for money. It's terrible.
  17. Applications with Electric cars? on Wireless Power Gets A Boost · · Score: 1

    I wonder how the 'Pad' one would work with electric cars. Imagine being able to drive into a docking station, waiting a few minutes after you drive over the plate and then go? It seems like a great application for this kind of thing.

  18. Future Slashdot Article on Material With Negative Refractive Index Created · · Score: 2, Funny

    "German Scientists devestated after loosing non-reflective material"
    One scientist quoted: "I just put it down here and now.. I can't find it!"

  19. Re:DOJ should've split M$ apart after conviction . on Microsoft drops VBA in Mac Office 2007 · · Score: 2, Informative

    VBA is something the world should be able to live without. Not really.VBA is used in a big way in the department (Planning) of the IT company I work in. A lot of automation takes place and provides a nice and easy "Click here" GUI for users who don't know how to string a SQL together.
    VBA is quite powerful within Office and can be used to make great bespoke software solutions. Loosing that functionality could be quite risky for Microsoft.
    Not that it's a problem, of course. Businesses don't often leap into new technology. We've just completed a migration of 120,000 NT workstations to XP for a government branch in the UK, just as Vista is released and Microsoft Office 2007.
  20. Re:Sony's dumb decision, with historical precedent on No Love For The Blu-Ray · · Score: 1

    Sony is no different than the Plantation Owners of the Old South. While I agree that locked-in formats - both software and hardware are bad (One of the reasons I don't like Microsoft Office, Apple computers etc), I think comparing Sony to slave-owners isn't exactly fair. No-one makes you buy the products or keep to that format. If you don't want it, don't buy it. Slaves didn't have that much of a choice.
  21. Businesses and Upgrades on Companies 'Blah' About Vista · · Score: 2, Informative

    Of course Companies arn't going to leap for it. I'm working for a big contractor in the UK and we have almost finished one of the largest rollouts in Europe (120,000 workstations) from Windows 2000 to XP for a government agency. The only reason they are moving over to XP is because Microsoft is stopping support for earlier versions of Operating system and business integration - such as Exchange 5.5 It doesn't seem to make sense to go for businesses first - companies are generally slow on the uptake when it comes to migration on a large scale.
