  1. What is this? on RIAA Sues 19-Year-Old Transplant Patient · · Score: 5, Interesting

    She is guilty because she didnt respond in time? WTF is this? Guilty until proven innocent?
    Why even hold a trial? Why not just delare the person with the most expensive lawyer the victor?

  2. Christmas Present on Technical Specs Released For Aussie Net Filtering · · Score: 1

    Suprise! Fasism!

  3. Wait, what? on "FOSS Business Model Broken" — Former OSDL CEO · · Score: 1

    FOSS has a buisness model?
    I thought FOSS was just FOSS, boss.

  4. Re:Idiots on New Massive Botnet Building On Windows Hole · · Score: 0

    Wear a tin foil hat much?

  5. Re:Idiots on New Massive Botnet Building On Windows Hole · · Score: 1

    I think i'm just not as paranoid about security as some. This is not what my day revolves around, because it simply has not affected me, and I doubt it will any time soon.

  6. Re:Idiots on New Massive Botnet Building On Windows Hole · · Score: -1, Troll

    I dont get viruses because I'm not a wintard who opens any FREEREGISTRYSCANNER add they see.
    I've been running windows xp without firewalls/AV for like four years now. Every 6 months or so I scan for viruses, rootkits, trojans, and adware, and i've yet to come up with anything.

  7. Re:Four words: on Techniques and Styles of Video Game Music · · Score: 1

    I'll see your FF7 and raise you one MYST. No game had EVER done audio as well as Myst, and I've been doubting that it would even be possible.

  8. Re:Idiots on New Massive Botnet Building On Windows Hole · · Score: 5, Funny

    Auto-update is really annoying, especially if you don't have a very good connection. Its one of the first things I disable when I do a fresh install of XP.

  9. Argh on World's Oldest Marijuana Stash Found · · Score: 1

    I was wondering why my blue eyed caucasian friend scott kept borrowing my time machine.
    Now I know.

  10. Re:Wind power is science ... on Greenpeace Slams Apple For Environmental Record · · Score: 1

    The scalability of wind power is the major factor that prevents people from using it. The cost, the situationality. Wind power is not a free all fix all solution to the worlds energy needs, and research into fusion power could very well result in a powerful, scaleable, limitless source of power.
    Greenpeace may be content with what we have right now, but they have to realize that some people are not amish, some people dont want to plow their fields with rakes from now untill eternity.

  11. Year of the linux desktop? on The Myth of Upgrade Inevitability Is Dead · · Score: 0

    What? Is there an echo in here?
    Good jesus someone needs to move slashdot out of this giant cave that echoes sounds for years upon end.

  12. Heres the big picture: on MS Says Windows 7 Will Run DirectX 10 On the CPU · · Score: 1

    This is a huge step in the right direction. Keep in mind that win7 supports up to 256 cores. By the time we have that many, we wont need video cards any more.


    In 10 years, gamers will tout their specs by saying "Oh yeah, well I get 200 fps on wow4 with my Intel c256 8g. Suck on that!"<br>

    If I held stock in Nvidia id sell it now. :D

  13. Greenpeace on Greenpeace Slams Apple For Environmental Record · · Score: 2, Insightful

    These people are retards. Wind power is not a replacement for science. Fusion reactors are one of the greatest achievements we could hope to achieve, but they want to say fuck it all, lets build some fans. Well, fuck you, hippies.

  14. Yes. Do it. DO IT NOW! on Would You Add Easter Eggs To Software Produced At Work? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Eastereggs are the sign that a company is proud of its software. Add something in that only people who had heard of it and were looking for it would find. If people are looking for it, they probably arent the starch shirted old people who would be opposed to a little bit of humor at work.

  15. This is not news. on Sending Secret Messages Via Google's SearchWiki · · Score: 2, Insightful

    WTF the internet can be used for communication?

    Who'd of thunk it?

    Seriously though, how the fuck is this news and why the fuck was it posted on the main page?

  16. Is this our standard of measurement? on Google Sorts 1 Petabyte In 6 Hours · · Score: 1

    Just like I measure my distance to work (452.75 football fields) i measure the data on my computer by libraries of congress?

  17. Dont they already have these? on Machine Condenses Drinking Water Out of Thin Air · · Score: 1

    My uncle who lives up outside of mos eisley maintains a field of them.

  18. This just in! on Studios Sue Oz ISP Over Allowing Piracy · · Score: 1

    The 5th st bank has been robbed by armed asailants! Luckily, witnesses managed to jot down the manufacturer of the guns they were using, the type of car they had, and the road they went down. Colt, Ford, and The public works deparptment will all be called in for questioning.

  19. i must on Windows Breaks Into Supercomputer Top 10 · · Score: 1

    Can You Imagine a Beowulf Cluster of These?

  20. My two cents on Microsoft To Offer Free Anti-Virus Software · · Score: 1

    I just hope it isnt welded into windows 7. I also hope they integrate it with their security center crap, and make it modular, and removeable from windows. Firewalls are for companies, hackers, and computer illiterate people. Antivirus software is just for chumps.

  21. It depends, work or game? on Real Name For Open Source Development? · · Score: 1

    Depends on whether I'm working on something work related, or something game related, because what else is there?

  22. Lord have mercy! on Quantum Cloaking Makes Molecules Invisible · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Last week they announced the first laser cannon, now we're working on the base technology for tricorders? Maybe startrek IS an accurate timeline.

  23. Re:I don't know why, but we're doing something rig on Linux Supports More Devices Than Any Other OS · · Score: 1

    Or a resonance cascade that creates inter-dimensional portals which sprout a species of horrible insectoid overlords.

  24. They're making a rather large assumption on Asus To Phase Out Sub-10" Eee PCs · · Score: 1

    Most likely in Asus eyes, linux is linux is linux. What i've heard is that the eee pc that runs linux runs some weird distro like mandrake or something. Its not surprising it didn't turn out to be very popular. If they installed Ubuntu, it would probably be atleast 50/50.

    That said, XP is NOT A BAD OS. Id say its easily the best windows ver out there. If it were vista vs ubuntu, it would probably be no contest.

  25. Are they TRYING to go bankrupt? on EA Forum Ban Will Now Mean EA Game Ban · · Score: 1

    I applaud EA. Well played, good sirs. I could not have come up with a more effective business model to put myself out on the street. They're getting inventive.

    Seriously though, EA is going to go bankrupt in like... a month if they keep up this bull..
