    that's the same password I have on my luggage!

  5. Re:simple solution on Open Source PS3 Jailbreak Released · · Score: 1

    But will they bother? Clearly they are going to sell several million PS3 units on the back of this exploit.

    They may bother if they still lose money on console sales ... they may be breaking even by now. If so this hack destroys their true revenue stream.

  6. amazing... on Resort Attracts Men With Virtual Girlfriends · · Score: 1

    this is going to be the first time a real world location is slashdotted!

  12. Re:The 80s called ... on Wicked Cool PHP · · Score: 1

    I asked a bunch of old Boston townies, they said the phrase never went out of style and then they drove off in a '86 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe, which BTW, was out of style in the showroom.

  13. Re:USB? Firewire? on Spec Will Cut External Drive Power Cords · · Score: 1

    unless you count FW800, which I will as soon as I see a device that supports it FW800 is out there on the device side of things in the audio/video production world ... for example, meet the V3HD http://www.v3hd.com/overview.html

    ha... that was fun, but I thought the majority here are socialist libertarians? smells that way... as for Ron Paul ... go ahead, throw your vote away.

  16. clarification on Creative Commons License Flaws Claimed · · Score: 0, Troll

    ...on slashdot the game is socialism ... so we don't believe in such silly things as copyrights and patents as the community must benefeit at no charge from the works of others ... and without consequence.

  17. Re:Frankly... on How Much is Your Right to Vote Worth? · · Score: 1

    I feel the statement means the right to vote used to be worth dying for ... the inconvenient historical fact is that establishing an independent government where the People could choose and elect it's leaders from the willing was worth dying for back in the day.

    These days ... it's all about Ipods and getting laid. Oh well, hopefully the revolution starts soon...

  18. hhmmmmmmmm on Dvorak Says gPhone is Doomed · · Score: 1

    Hi Dorkbot,
    The public doesn't want smartphones? Well, then they want whatever you want to call the killer appless Iphone and the "doomed keyboard" or whatever you called it.

    I didn't plan on getting an Iphone, but I got one for free and now I will never go back to those dumbphones! Actually, if I lose or break this thing I'll be paying for a new one, it works too damn good (gsm, wifi internerd, outlook sync and IMAP features) and is fun to hack! I won't pay for ATT service though... Tmbobile works a-o-k! And yes, i've used all the other major types of smartphones...

  20. this is article is pointless on Why Apple Should Acquire Adobe · · Score: 1

    consider the source please... OSweekly is nothing more than a blog of crap.

    webmasters: Can have a way to filter out articles based on the source...?? A shitlist so to speak?

  21. what's the big deal... on BBC "Not In Bed With Bill Gates" · · Score: 1

    Why is it so hard to believe there is only a small Linux desktop community that use it regularly? This seems to be a characteristic of every sub-culture, an internal self awareness that does not extend past the members of the sub-culture and the general misunderstanding the 100s of millions of Windows users actually recognize there is a small and insignificant amount of Linux desktop users.

    did that make sense? haha...

  22. Re:useful arts on Hard Drive Imports to be Banned? · · Score: 2, Informative
    from Patent #6,651,864:

    wire bonding electrical connections to bonding pads on integrated circuit chips and packages from Ars Tec Article:

    These parts are used to bond electrical wires within the hard drive Seems as though the patents are not specific to "magnetic" drive featuress but the electric connections, which may be in both magentic and SSD drives.

  24. not a bad idea on Music Industry Set To Introduce the "Ringle" · · Score: 1

    I'm into downloading music but I don't think the idea is bad at all.

    The younger consumers, the ones who parents are buying them most of the pop music these days, are more into ring tones than the gang of tech clowns that lurk here at slashdot. ...so it comes down to having a hot single and two secondary tracks. There have been a number of wonderful B sides over the years and some interesting remixes ... so it comes down putting some thought into which three tracks are included to back up the "hit" ... which undoubtedly where this where this product will be mismanaged and ultimately it's failure point.

  25. oh HAL! on Clearance For New Linux Wireless Driver · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you.
