  1. Re:Costs too much on Must a CD Cost $15.99? · · Score: 1

    When you can buy a 2-disc DVD special edition for less than the price of the soundtrack, someone is taking the p*ss.

  2. Re:DVDs on Music Industry Compared to Movie Industry · · Score: 1

    ... and for anyone that hasn't seen the blurb on recent movies, it's available to download on the Kazza network....

  3. Re:Probably a dumb question on Surviving Slashdotting with a Small Server · · Score: 1

    One problem for Slashdot has been all the comments, even if the page that is output is cached somewhat. One solution that livejournal.com has created, and is now being investigated by /. and Sourceforge is MemcacheD, run by danga, the 'parent company' of Livejournal. It will cache comments in memory, and user information so it doesn't have to be dragged out of a database, even one as quick as MySQL.

  4. Re:Such an app could produce an interesting databa on IBM Flushes Restroom Patent · · Score: 1

    As I read through that list, I thought, 'that has to be illegal, or at least immoral'.

    I mean, you would have to be a complete and utter pervert to want to moderate slashdot when you're sitting on the can!

  5. Real Media direct link to the programme on BBC Interviews Linus Torvalds · · Score: 1

  6. Re:Bigger news on Wayback Machine Purged of Scientology Criticism · · Score: 1

    Interesting where all the Google sponsored links go to - all 8 links, to apparently (from the names) pro-scientology websites (that link again: http://www.google.com/search?q=nicholas+cage+scien tology)

    I wonder if Google are aware that the CoS is 'spamming' the adwords?

  7. Who is the Dark Side? on Star Wars II (Attack of the clones) Trailer · · Score: 1

    We are many, you are few.

    Numbers verses money.

    Intelligence verses the law.

    If a bad law falls, is it wrong to help it down?
    If a good law wins, is the world a better place?
    If a bad law wins, is the world a better place?
    If a good law falls, is it wrong to help it down?

    Knowledge wants to be free.
    Knowledge must be protected.

    You are the corporate interests, we are the geeks.
    We give your gift to the world, to allow others to see it,
    to view your work unfettered by your own petty limitations,
    sharing your message with all.

    Without our kind, the technology we manipulate with our magic,
    black, white and shades of gray - you cannot exist as you do.
    Six of our technomages run a network, the network is a company
    you would ignore us only at your peril. Your eyes are closed.

    I do not think this is a battle you can win,
    I do not think this is a battle we can win,

    The winner may never be known.
    This is the technological world.
    The future is
