  1. you're an asshole on Rosen, Valenti Warn Colleges About P2P · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    God forbid students use the bandwidth to actually learn or do research. Lets see what you say when your paper is due tomorrow and pages are timing out because a handful of people are saturating the connection.

  2. it blows on New Linux Configuration Tool · · Score: 5, Funny

    make xconfig is much nicer and has a better layout. I still have nightmares about make config Y Y N N Y N N oh shit ^C make config Y Y N...

  3. faked? on Law Enforcement by Machines · · Score: 1

    Faked what? Both were live and bombed out just as bad as Geraldo opening up Capone's vault in the 80s. What do the fox movie/tv studios in california have to do with the news headquarters in new york? You'd rather the news wait and be last on the scene?

  4. ill-reputed? on Law Enforcement by Machines · · Score: 1

    What makes foxnews any less legitimate than cnn or even msnbc? Personally I would rather watch a network not owned by mr. UN himself (ted turner). I like fox because they are not afraid of being too politically correct and leaning to the left.

  5. Seriously on Dialtones - A Telesymphony · · Score: 1

    I'd rather listen to RMS singing the free software song than this piece of pseudo art.

  6. bottom line on PCI Shortwave Receiver · · Score: 1

    DSP chips are expensive. We were paying $90 for an ASDP-2101 which runs at about 20Mhz. Why jack up the price for the consumer when you can significantly lower it by using software?

  7. Re:Religion? on The Best of Windows Open Source Software? · · Score: 1

    Because most of them are mindless zealots who jump on the M$ sux bandwagon. See how cute it is to say M$ instead of MS? They can't handle any type of criticism and insist linux is the ultimate solution no matter what you're doing. Freedom of choice is alright as long as your choice is linux. I guess they never heard of using the right tool for the right job or as the old saying goes "if it aint broke then don't fix it". Windows is good enough for millions of people to do everyday tasks, why force them to change based only on your opinion?

  8. Re:Don't waste your time... on New MP3 Portables · · Score: 1

    Uhhh I might want a radio to listen to news or maybe Howard Stern in the morning? Kind of a shitter to listen to a day old recording.

  9. No one cares about ogg on New MP3 Portables · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Listen Carefully: No one but a small group of linux zealots gives a flying fuck about ogg vorbis. MP3 is too widespread and is the defacto standard now. Ogg is just about as popular as VQF in terms of market saturation.

    Now if ogg is that important to you then buy something with upgradable firmware just in case.

  10. Someone must buy it on Miyazaki's Spirited Away U.S. Release · · Score: 1

    Otherwise the Coke machine would not make money and the owner would remove it, same goes for Mcdonalds. Not that I'm saying its my god given right to buy a big mac in china but you get the idea.

  11. Re:Hmm... 3500 == 350,000?? on Linux Worm Creating "Attack Network" · · Score: 1

    When you take into account the miniscule market share of linux its nearly the same.

  12. Re:Meanwhile some kid in Africa gets a TRS-80... on Old PowerBook + Hot Glue = Cheap Digital Picture Frame · · Score: 1

    That kid in africa better hope that TRS-80 can grow food and supply clean water.

  13. Hey on Microsoft to Hire Xbox Hackers? · · Score: 1

    MS is making an offer, these people are free to ignore them or take it. What right do you have telling people who they should be allowed to work for?

  14. Re:Erm, its a streaming service on Audiogalaxy Returns as Pay Service · · Score: 1

    If you can call a file tangible.

  15. Laser Turntable on Ripping Vinyl Via Your Scanner? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Serious audiophiles would simply buy a laser turntable to minimize the wear and tear. Although it probably sounds more like a cd than anything.

  16. Re:Power supply adapters and plugs... on Connectors: A History of Their Technology? · · Score: 0

    Hehe theres not a single third prong or even a plug thats still polarized in my grandfathers house. Nothing gives him more fun than snapping off the ground or grinding down the wider prong.

  17. Re:And on the sixth day on Connectors: A History of Their Technology? · · Score: 0

    You realize I'm probably the only other person here who knows what a Fahnestock clip even looks like. Insulation be damned!

  18. correction on Faith Returns to Buffy · · Score: 0

    It should have stopped right after the lame movie with Pee Wee Herman.

  19. yes on More About The .org Reassignment · · Score: 0

    Transfer it over to joker.com because they don't care if you use fake contact info and it only costs around 12 euros per year. Its the choice of spammers everywhere.

  20. Re:Impresive on Ever Wanted Your Own Land Speeder? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Yeah drive that around and look like the biggest douchebag on the planet.

  21. Re:Fine on Slashback: Brainwaves, MPnothin', Telescopy · · Score: 1

    If something is *that good* then people would naturally be attracted to using it and not need advocacy groups.

  22. Fine on Slashback: Brainwaves, MPnothin', Telescopy · · Score: 0

    Convince the people that using your hippie operating system is a good idea. First show them pictures of RMS and then some of his classic quotes. I'm sure they will instantly fdisk their boxes and install linux. How will you tiptoe around the fact that linux makes up 5% of the desktop market share?

  23. Re:What effect will this have on the Earth? on Pig-to-Human Transplants On Their Way · · Score: 1

    Darwin stopped working when we started living in civilized societies. 10,000 years ago someone with bad eyesight would be lion food so only people with good eyes would be around long enough to breed. Now you have kids that die after smelling a peanut or getting a cold.

  24. Buy a P4 on AMD Opteron "Hammer" Preview · · Score: 1

    And you won't have that problem. Hell I sanded my slug down like an old celeron and have a 1.6a northwood stable at 2400mhz. It could go higher but its the limit of my SD7-533 mobo. Lets see AMD release a chip where overclocking gives you an extra 800mhz!

  25. Re:Algebra is taught wrong. on Algebra As A Gateway Subject · · Score: 1

    "Do you ever solve for an unknown quantity?"

    No.

    "How many pizzas do I have to order to keep four programmers working through the night?"

    I would have enough competent programmers working full time so that pulling all nighters is unnecessary. They would also be capable of feeding themselves.
