  1. Re:well known ? on New Star Wars Movie From the Makers of 'Troops' · · Score: 1

    Stop whining. Everyone but you knows it.

  2. Wallpaper on Digital Clock as Thin as Paper · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Was also my first thought - How about a wall with a living pattern? One that gradually changed and twisted randomly? Sweet.

  3. Re:Neat! on Digital Clock as Thin as Paper · · Score: 1

    I think you're the only one who actually *really* understood that one... I thought of a laptop, too...

  4. Re:Oh, the Irony! on Spyware Floods in Through BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    1. Download ISO torrent
    2. Burn ISO
    3. Reboot computer, install *nix/Mac OS X86
    4. Who cares about $avebuck$$$! for Windows?

  5. Luckily for my school work on Viewing Files on the Web Considered Possession? · · Score: 1

    I won't get into trouble this time; you've gone and gotten yourself slashdotted, it seems.

  6. Re:How to go to jail on Viewing Files on the Web Considered Possession? · · Score: 1

    Step six: Profit

  7. Re:Why.teh. Fuck?!!!! on Microsoft Wants P2P Avalanche to Crush BitTorrent · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think you misread this part:

    While they're (Microsoft) world renowned for not playing nice with others?!!! Get the fuck out!!!! You can't have it both ways Microsoft!!!!

    He meant that since MS are egomaniac bastards who do not share, they should not expect anyone else to behave differently. (Thud457, correct me if I misinterpreted, and if so, I apologize for putting words into your mouth)

  8. Re:Oh, the Irony! on Spyware Floods in Through BitTorrent · · Score: 2, Insightful

    When's the last time you had trouble with Windows spyware creeping in with your BSD torrents? ;p

  9. Re:Guesstimating on Using an Old Space-Suit as a Satellite · · Score: 1

    So... if high+light=good, then guess+estimate-ess=good?
    Jeez.

    No wonder the US stockpiles any sort of weapon it can get... It's the only way it can win an argument.

  10. Re:Guesstimating on Using an Old Space-Suit as a Satellite · · Score: 1

    It's not evolution; cross-breeding a nonsensical word from two proper words is devolution.

  11. Guesstimating on Using an Old Space-Suit as a Satellite · · Score: 1

    is not a word.

    Apart from that, yeah, a shoddy old spacesuit should do no difference - whereas it would do a difference if more people started taking the bus (or even better, the bike) instead the car to work.

  12. Technically, on Upgrade Your G4 Cube to a Pentium M Processor · · Score: 1

    it was in the blurb... But the blurb wasn't detailed enough, and now the site is slashed.

  13. Don't download the torrent on Apple May be Intel Show Pony · · Score: 1

    Odd, I didn't put the URL in code...

    Anyway DON'T DOWNLOAD THE TORRENT. It's a GNAA hoax. Sorry for wasting your time. Move along, nothing to see here.

  14. Gotta love the Pirate Bay on Apple May be Intel Show Pony · · Score: 1

    I would first like to warn everyone that this torrent turned up less than 45 minutes ago and HAS NOT BEEN VERIFIED BY ANYONE I KNOW and could therefore completely break your computer.
    OTOH, it's more than 900 mb.

    I'm not making the URL clickable so that you have a few extra seconds to think about whether you really want to download it.

    http://thepiratebay.org/details.php?id=3343842

  15. Re:how could they stop it? on Apple May be Intel Show Pony · · Score: 1

    Me too - me wantee! I've even called Apple's local stores to ask for an advance copy to try it on an x86, but no dice...

  16. Whining bastard on Video Reactions to Apple's Intel Switch · · Score: 1

    Without Bittorrent:
    1. Click the link
    2. Get 404
    3. Whine about the site being down instead

    If your ISP sends you that sort of letters you need to change. What you do with your internet connection is no business of theirs. The 'torrent bandwagon' is here because most people have a BT client anyway - it's not hard to find a simple, reliable client, and this is a nerd site. Not everyone cries "Oh nos!!!!!111oneeleven1!! Technology that I don't like must die!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

  17. So what on The Laptop Supply Chain · · Score: 1

    I'd rather that there is someone who tries to teach other people how to spell properly than have others gripe at this.

  18. Re:Idea for new Slashdot section on Cringley Thinks Apple & Intel Are Merging · · Score: 1

    That is ultimate irony - but at least it can be said that the HR department were good at finding a good replacement >_

  19. Naturally, on Nerds Make Better Lovers · · Score: 1

    - we don't sleep around

    Speak for yourself

  20. Re:naturally... on Nerds Make Better Lovers · · Score: 1

    I actually once found myself at a Theremin concert (it was after a horrible 'modern play' about Lev Thermin, the man who invented the Theremin), where one of 'the leading Theremin virtuosos of the world' gave a surprise concert as she was in town - my ears almost bled, mostly due to stupid sound engineers, so I really don't know how to feel about that sort of music.

  21. Re:naturally... on Nerds Make Better Lovers · · Score: 1

    Drummers get +1 on nookie rolls, end of story.

  22. What gave you that idea? on Laptops Outsell Desktops · · Score: 1

    I'm surfing from my 1.6 ghz ASUS M6 that I bought last January, and it's running 1280x800 without problems and always have.
    Have you been looking to Dell as a source of cutting-edge tech?

  23. Re:They didn't pilot the chopper themselves! on Helicopter Lands top Mount Everest · · Score: 1

    Nono, that's just the Catholic minister they brought along, he's doing missionary work, converting the heathens.

  24. Re:New trend? on Japan Striving For Energy Efficiency · · Score: 1

    ... I stand corrected.

  25. Re:Woah! on Japan Striving For Energy Efficiency · · Score: 1

    Killing whales does not directly affect health. The street air of large Japanese cities, on the other hand, can be quite putrid.
