  1. Re:amazon on At Atlantic Records, Digital Sales Surpass CDs · · Score: 1

    So while I'm breaking the law anyway why not save myself some money and send a message to the labels, that its their job to get the product to me!

  2. Re:Which was a motivation on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 1

    So where should one draw the line? Remember the goal is to avoid killing a "live" human. As such if you draw the line to far, you've "lost" if you draw it too close, well big deal. Therefore not drawing it as close as possible to conception would be foolish. Really I don't think anyone can say for sure where the line between sperm/egg and human is. Science has yet to even define the soul, or at least what ever it is we think of as our "soul".

    Put me in a room with a bear, repeat a hundred times and see who comes out on top. Doesn't mean the bear is smarter.

    That link only includes information regarding the current it does have a quick paragraph on the new ones but no TDP is mentioned.

  6. So Microsoft... on Microsoft, Blizzard Crack Down On Piracy, Cheating · · Score: 1

    So Microsoft would do this how? If the mod chip is in the hardware should it not be next to impossible for Microsoft to detect it? Sorry if I'm a bit naive, I have never so much as loaded the homebrew channel on my Wii.

  7. Re:WTF? on Internal Emails Released In Vista Capable Debacle · · Score: 1

    No, what happened was Twitter would post his ramblings some of which was moded up but most was moded down. Once his main account was trashed he started opening new accounts in the hopes that A. One of them might get mod points so that he could in turn mod up his main account and or B. To post his "insightful" comments without them having the -1 stigma attached. Anyway somewhere along the line people clued in and he starting opening trolling accounts with names similar to the clued in people.

  8. Re:Or colonizing galaxies with mamoths? on Frozen Mice Cloned · · Score: 1

    Check his comment history, he is a troll. Of course don't feel bad for laughing, it was a funny joke.

    As a rule of thumb English speaking nations use the short scale: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales#Current_usage

    So FYI, the British use the same trillion, billion and million as us.

  14. Re:Bah! on Fallout 3 Launches Amidst Controversy · · Score: 1

    Nah I'm not having any problems with Securom, although others do. So far I've set FFDshow not to be used with the fallout.exe and I have unassociated .mp3 and .ogg with winamp. But it will still not get past half way on that little clock shown when a new game is about to be started.

  15. Bah! on Fallout 3 Launches Amidst Controversy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "despite reports of bugs with the save system and occasional lock-ups." Occasional lock-ups my ass! The game must have had next to no QA for many it it crashes as soon as you select new game!* It won't even play if you have some of the most popular codec packs installed!

  16. Re:My Karma Killer for Today on Low-Income Users Latch On To iPhone · · Score: 1

    Really? I thought Slashdot for the most part was siting on the fence regarding Apple, with a few fanboys.

  17. Re:No money? Just use a credit card! on Low-Income Users Latch On To iPhone · · Score: 1

    While you were comparing the price of orange pop to the orange juice did it occur to you that tap water would be even cheaper? As for your point about teenage employees, well if you can't beat a new member of the work force for the job then something is wrong. Stores don't want to employ that fourteen year old the want that adult with 4-10 years retail experience and who needs to work full time.

  24. Re:Avast on Reliable, Free Anti-Virus Software? · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, ok so heres how Avast works. It can be installed for a period of time with no key, once that time is up though you will have to get one. But for the Home edition all you need to provide them with is an email, they will then send you a key, its all free. Trust me I've installed Avast on more then a few systems.

  25. Re:Avast on Reliable, Free Anti-Virus Software? · · Score: 1

    Mind clarifying that? I've got the home edition on all the home PCs, a desktop and 4 laptops, at least one of those laptops has 4 users and I do know that users have been deleted and added since I installed it.
