  1. Re:Poll Suggestion on Behind the Numbers: LCD vs. CRT · · Score: 1

    I'm using a 17" NEC MultiSync P52 at home on a KVM for Linux & Windows. Had it since 98 and it's still going strong!

  2. Re:This is how it will go down on FDA Approves Implantable Microchips · · Score: 1

    What's to stop you?

    How about ethics and morality... errr, I mean nothing..

  3. But you're hurting Slashdot! on DoubleClick Settles Privacy Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    If you block DoubleClick ads, surely you must be robbing /. of its ad revenue in some way...

  4. Skewed rating on LotR Cleans Up at AFI · · Score: 1

    Look at the difference between #1 and #2:

    1. Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The (2001) 9.0/10 (28576 votes)
    2. Godfather, The (1972) 9.0/10 (45977 votes)

    Each of these scored a 9.0 out of 10, but why is the LOTR #1? It would make sense to me that 'The Godfather' would be #1 instead, due to the sheer number of votes. The number of votes just shows that this movie has a more 'solid' 9.0 than LOTR.

    Maybe the IMDB is using the recency of the movie to determine the exact opposite of what you suggest?

  5. Re: HA! on U.S. Penalizes Ukraine for Abetting 'Piracy' · · Score: 1

    Your sarcasm made me laugh out loud. Thank you.

  6. GET PIKMIN!!! on Probing the Guts Of the Consoles · · Score: 1

    Sorry for the caps, but I cannot stress how cool this game is. I bought it the other day, and am enthralled w/ the detail and cleverness of the whole thing.

    That said, my wife and I have also had trouble turning off Super Monkey Ball and Luigi's Mansion.

    Happy gaming.

  7. My name is Cliff... on Automated Ripping with CD Jukeboxes? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ..brother of Joe, I got me some crack, I want me some hoes!

  8. Only from the mouth of a terrorist. on China Shuts Down 17,000 Internet Bars · · Score: 1

    A remark like that clearly shows me that you are a terrorist. By the powers given to the US government under the almighty 'Patriot' Act, I would like to see you arrested, given a swift trial in secrecy, and executed.

  9. Re:This is what our prison systems should be doing on From Gang Bangers to Web Developers? · · Score: 1

    Then I'd get my ass arrested to get a free education.

    No, you'd probably get your ass raped.

  10. Re:another step towards the ruin of the web. on FTC Shuts Down 'Pop-Up Trapping' Sites · · Score: 1
    "Doesn't Mozilla have a nice feature to disable the document.open() method in javascript?"

    Yes, which is why Mozilla has become my browser of choice. I use it not for the pr0n sites (surprisingly) but the majority of 'legitimate' sites that believe that annoying their users w/ pop-ups is a good idea.

    The feature that you speak of can be found HERE. You might also want to take a look at the Configurable Security Policies for Mozilla. These features are nice, but the only drawback is that there isn't a good GUI to add/remove sites from your blocklist.

  11. Why more government involvment? on FTC Shuts Down 'Pop-Up Trapping' Sites · · Score: 1

    I agree that these sites are annoying and have no good purpose, but is government involvement really the answer?

  12. Whoops.. on Microsoft FrontPage License Prohibits Anti-Microsoft Speech · · Score: 1

    That should have been 'less than 2002'.. I put in a less than sign that was stripped.. doh.

  13. Re:Someone needs to test this! on Microsoft FrontPage License Prohibits Anti-Microsoft Speech · · Score: 1

    How about using a version of Front Page 2002, maybe FrontPage 2000? That way they have no 'legal' leg to stand on when they go after said person..

  14. Erroneous Statement on Congress Considers Mandatory Crypto Backdoors · · Score: 1

    "Apparently today someone tried to get onto a plane with fake pilot identification so this might be a real threat"

    This has proven to be false. I'm sure at the time, the original poster didn't know that, but the person in question turned out to be an actual pilot. However, the scenario that he describes is still a threat to our safety.

  15. Re:No Heroes on Why Can't LEGO Click? · · Score: 1

    "There are no names. No Barbie, no GI Joe, no Sonic, or Barney. The child creates everything. The problem is that there's no sense of community to share their creations with their friends. They say "Blascar blew Rennist to smithereens," And their friends say, "So?" Or "Who?""

    Not true. My 9 year old brother is really into lego now. While it's true that there aren't any 'names' with many of the lines, the star wars and new bionacle legos make up for this. Apparently there is some sort of struggle between the bionicle characters, and a story behind it all.

  16. Re:the real reason for too much power... on How To Create a Linux Network for Peanuts · · Score: 1

    You do have a valid point. I built this machine I'm using almost 4 years ago. It has a 450Mhz PII and 128 megs of RAM. I only use it to surf, work on my web applications and record music. I only run what I need, and I have found that MS Office 97 suits me just fine. No reason to upgrade.

  17. Kick, Punch, it's all in the mind.. on The New Zelda · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or does this look like the sequel to Parappa the Rappa? Although Parappa was a fun game, I like the look of the old Zelda better.

  18. you forgot one on Mega-ISP Update: Layoffs At AOL, Voices At MSN · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    What about:
    "Error: The operation has completed successfully"

    or is that already sufficiently fscked up?

  19. Re:Freudian slip? on Netscape 6.1 · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Ha, I thought that was intentional.

    Without even trying it, I'm sure that slip was correct. Mozilla has only recently .9x gotten around to being useable for everyday use (at least for me), but I'll bet the codebase for NS 6.1 is even older.

    "and I can tell you straight people did need the union. "

    You, my friend, are a bigot. Who's to say that people with 'alternative' lifestyles didn't need the union?
