  1. If the project works on What Makes an Open Source Project Successful? · · Score: 4, Informative

    and it does what it is supposed to do, cleanly and efficiently, then by definition it is successful. Popular and successful are definitely not the same thing, even if you gauge a projects success by its popularity

  2. why? on Rabid TiVo Fanaticism · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Personally, I won't bother to find out first hand until they slap a recordable DVD drive in there.

    Yeah, it would be such a shame to lose all those old Will & Grace episodes. But seriously, how many add-ons does it have to have before buy it? mp3 and ogg decoding? programmable from any computer? hackable? Id be happy if it does what it does efficiently and reliably. What's the facination with bloating products, adding unnecessary features? My fire extiguisher doesn't heat up hot pockets, nor do I want it to. It's a fire extinguisher.

  3. Re:Let us not forget... on Easter Humor · · Score: 1

    Don't forget about the one here

  4. Or maybe... on Time to Face the Music · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The problem is that there simply aren't enough musicians in Canada who are capable of going head to head with the products of a very similar culture, 10x the size, next door.

    Or maybe the problem is the crap that Canada chooses to export. Avril Lavigne? Nickelback? Sum41? You want to compete with Hendrix and The Doors and you've got is Rush? I don't think it's a size issue. It's an issue of talent and taste.

  5. News Radio on Carmack On Doom III And The Evolution Of Graphics · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Anyone remember the episode of News Radio where Phil Hartman was the spokesman for Rocket Fuel Malt Liquor?

    "Rocket Fuel Malt Liquor. Damn! It's Crizappy!"

  6. Re:The Censor on Stupid Censorship, Stupid Security · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I can also
    break up my writings
    and ramblings at
    random
    points
    but that does
    not make me a
    poet

  7. Re:Computers on TiVo Home Media Rollout · · Score: 1

    what's a date?

  8. Re:My entry... on Fishing for Ideas · · Score: 1

    I have truly never read a better description of BeOS

  9. Depressingly, I predict that on Former Intel Employee 'Disappeared' by U.S. · · Score: 5, Insightful

    he will not receive the massive support and protest that mitnick received, simply because of his name. Kevin = American, where as Maher = sounds like something from one of those countries we are at war with. Kinda sad, really.

  10. its pretty obvious isn't it? on EDS Silent On New CEO's IT Consulting Past · · Score: 1, Funny

    curiously doesn't show Jordan to have any experience in the IT consulting field

    Of course not. He was busy playing basketball

  11. Wag The Dog... on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1

    especially in our current political climate. Pretty damn funny and clever, with Dustin Hoffman the standout

  12. Re:Now that's worth paying for... on Return Of Bloom County. Sorta · · Score: 1

    Mark Trail. I just have to know if all the characters looked the same back in thr 40's.

  13. hmmm on Building a Better Motorized Bicycle · · Score: 1

    motorized bicycle...motorized + bicycle...i know! ill call it a motorcycle and make millions!

  14. Re:DVD Crock ! on Matrix Special Edition Cancelled · · Score: 1

    He said 90%. The crap content on slashdot is approaching critical mass.

  15. Re:Are most internships unpaid then? on The Internship That Students Drool Over · · Score: 1

    As Hank Hill said "you'll be paid in experience, and that is tax free."

  16. Games that spring to mind on Technologies that Have Exceeded Their Expectations? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Quake, Super Mario Brothers 1 and especially 3. Sure the technology may be old and there are newer and flashier games, but these games are still fun to play, and I can't imagine I'm the only one who thinks so.

  17. Re:hmm... on Is Microsoft Hoisting Its Own Copyright Petard? · · Score: 1, Funny

    On a completely unrelated note, if you like laughing at retards, check out The Tard Blog. Hilarious and enlightening.

  18. Re:definitely on Your Most Damage-Resistant Hardware? · · Score: 1

    I don't know. it usually crashes before I can measure it.

  19. Re:I am the walrus on Cyberbees Score MIT Prize · · Score: 1

    he's a genius and truly the greatest showman since that kid who eats worms.

  20. definitely on Your Most Damage-Resistant Hardware? · · Score: 4, Funny

    my schlong. it's been consistently beaten for years, but always starts up when i need it to.

  21. Re:Negotiating Position on A Music Industry Case Study · · Score: 2, Funny

    Marketing can be expensive, but really isn't necessary if the music is actually good.

    and yet you are talking about Creed? I'm not sure I follow your logic.

  22. Everyone talks about Courtney Love's speech on A Music Industry Case Study · · Score: 1

    which is good and fine, but I also reccomend reading Diamond Dave's autobiography, Crazy From The Heat. Aside from being hilarious (he claims those kicks he did on stage were invented in feudal Japan when weapons were banned and they were designed to knock a guy off a horse), there is a very informative chapter on where all the money Van Halen made went.

  23. at least the continuing coverage of the columbia on More on Columbia · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    gives us comedians a chance to reuse all those mean challanger jokes. like this one:
    Q: what does NASA stand for?
    A: Needs Another Seven Astronauts

  24. If you're gonna play Magic: The Gathering, on Advice You Would Give to Your 12 Year-Old Self? · · Score: 1

    Start earlier and buy some Legends and Arabian Nights boosters. Fallen Empires was the worst expansion for a new player to start in.

  25. Re:great inventions on Larry Page: Google Was an Accident · · Score: 1

    Microwave cooking, there's an oxymoron if i ever heard one.
