  1. Re:Nothings confirmed... on UVB-76 Explained · · Score: 1

    Or maybe it's even more devious. At this point, anything said on the station is posted to Wikipedia almost immediately. Their evil spy network doesn't even need to come up with a radio! Just check Wikipedia!

  2. Re:Censorship confusion. on Apple Blocks Cartoonist From App Store · · Score: 1

    I don't think it should be up to you to declare which carriers are and are not acceptable. I use my iPhone because I like the iPhone OS better than Android and the other stuff that's out there. I made this decision fully aware of Apple's ability to control exactly what I am and am not allowed to run on my phone, but, quite frankly, I don't care. It does everything I want it to do, and while I might be just as happy with another phone, I am not a "moron" simply because I like this product and am willing to accept its limitations.

  3. Re:The worst thing about this? on Slashdot.org Self-Slashdotted · · Score: 1

    "It'll be interesting to know what the ACTUAL reason was, when they figure it out. Assuming it isn't aliens." I don't know. I know I'd be interested to know if it was aliens.

  4. Re:Good riddance. on Ruckus Closes Down · · Score: 1

    I just checked, and almost half the music on my iPod is from Ruckus. I had hoped to gradually start buying CDs to replace the Ruckus music as I got closer to graduating from college, but now I've got a huge collection of stuff that I don't even have a "license" for.

  5. Re:Mac Binaries? on First Release Candidate of Wine 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I don't know what you've been doing, but for me, all I have to do is grab the source for a release and configure, make, make install, just like I would do on a Linux box. It works perfectly.

  6. Re:American Schools on Proposed Bill in Tennessee Penalizes Schools for Allowing Piracy · · Score: 2, Informative

    In America, the word 'school' can correctly be used to describe any educational institution, regardless of age. If you're talking specifically about children and teenagers, you attach an adjective, like 'K-12 schools', 'elementary schools', 'middle schools', or 'high schools'. If you're talking about a place to get a degree, 'university' and 'college' are used interchangeably. But all of them can be described as 'school'.

  7. Re:All we need now on Titan's Organics Surpass Oil Reserves on Earth · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, that'd be great! Maybe if we burn the same amount of hydrocarbons getting the tanker out and back as the tanker itself hauls, it can be marketed as a "carbon neutral" energy source!

  8. Re:Do we want to be found? on Could An ExtraTerrestrial Find Earth with a Telescope? · · Score: 1

    Wait, so does that mean that Al Gore is really an alien, trying to stop us from ruining the planet before the rest of the armada shows up to take control?

  9. Re:And your point is....? on Wal-Mart's Terrible Nintendo Wii Knock-Offs · · Score: 1

    Seriously. One says "Wii" on the front and the other one doesn't. One has an LCD screen on it and the other doesn't. Duh.

  10. Re:Nothing New on Nintendo Cracks Down on Copying Devices · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah, that'd be great, if there were actually any open-source games that were, you know, fun. I don't know about the rest of you, but I play games to have fun, and as much as I despise EA, they have entertained me far more than all the open-source games I've tried, together. Not to mention they're a pain in the butt to get working in the first place.
