  1. Everyone please stop posting! on Gaming Companies Being Sued Over Columbine · · Score: 1

    We should wait for JonKatz to tell us what to think about this.

  2. Check out this quote from one of the lawyers on Gaming Companies Being Sued Over Columbine · · Score: 4
    "Generally, I'm 100 percent on the side of the First Amendment"

    Except for when he's not.

  3. The FCC was right on one case on FCC Lays Down the Law On Decency · · Score: 2
    As noted on on page 8 of the report:
    notwithstanding the use of candy bar names to symbolize sexual activities, the titillating and pandering nature of the song makes any thought of candy bars peripheral at best
    Anything that can make the thought of candy bars peripheral is obscene in my book.
  4. Re:Copyrights on RIAA Wants Opt-In Filtering For Napster · · Score: 1
    If I distributed it, though, I would change the name to "Your_Song.mp3".

    Crud. Then I'll have Elton John after my ass.

    Nobody wants that.

  5. I think /. should just put ads in the comments. on Salon Sans Ads, For A Price · · Score: 1
    Not banners, mind you, but product placement. Hold on for a second while a take a sip of my icy-cold Coca Cola®. Man! That was refreshing.

    By putting the product placements in the comments, they are more discreet. Like my Just for Men® hair dye. No one even knows I'm using it.

    It will be tougher for blockers that way.

    I've got to end this post now. My Motorola® mobile phone is ringing.

  6. Umm...what do you think runs on those devices? on Even Programmers Get the Job Search Blues · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure it's software.

  7. Clearly a troll, but what the heck.... on Announcing PHP-GTK · · Score: 1

    Perl's strong typing? Bwahahaha!

  8. My idea of fair compensation... on Fair Compensation For Non-Compete Clauses? · · Score: 2
    Work for a competitor anyway. Tell your old employer to screw off.

    Oh yeah, IANAL, so use this advice at your own peril.

  9. Everyone should get jobs as patent examiners on ABA Journal On One-Click (And Even Sillier) Patents · · Score: 2
    Then we can deny all of these frivolous patents instead of bitching about them all the time.

    Get a job at the PTO

  10. Did you run Solaris? on Making Banner Ads Suck Less · · Score: 1
    I know of the ad which you speak. It was a Java ad.

    Upon cursory investigation it apeared that they used some poorly implemented threading code. It worked fine under windows, but it put the whammy on my Solaris NS every time.

  11. Again...yes and no on Peer-To-Victim File Sharing · · Score: 1
    I'm not saying that running windows means that you are stupid. After all I run it, and I am extremely intelligent. heh.

    I am saying, though, that the average Windows user is less security savvy than the average Unix user.

  12. Re:We have to respond to this on Peer-To-Victim File Sharing · · Score: 1

    What if you set up the share so your old PC can talk to your new PC? It may not be common sense to Joe Bestbuy that the entire world can see the stuff, too.

  13. yes and no on Peer-To-Victim File Sharing · · Score: 1
    When Sally runs her anon ftp server, she is most likely savvy enough to realize that people will use it.

    When Sally is a Windows user who turns on sharing so her laptop and desktop can see each other, there's a high probability she doesn't realize anyone on the Internet can use her share.

  14. Crap! I was going to get "ecocacola.com"! on Bad Call For Referee Dispute · · Score: 1

    I mean, no one could possibly confuse it with cocacola.com. Looks like the domain eslashdot.org just expired. Hurry!

  15. That's great logic on ACLU Takes on ICANN · · Score: 1

    until YOU are the innocent man put away.

  16. OT: What about the e-payers? on Stuffing Junkmail Postage-Paid Envelopes? · · Score: 1

    While your plan of having then utilities add $0.34 to the bill and then pay the postage is good in theory, but then it really sticks the people who have some kind of automatic payments. They get stuck the extra money with no tangible benefit.

  17. Other than the link to slashcode.org and on Self-Adaptive Websites · · Score: 1
    the logo on the bottom right hand corner of the home page, I don't see it mentioned at all.

    Bastards.

  18. Shouldn't he be DotOrgGuy? on DotComGuy Survives His Year · · Score: 3
    Since he didn't get paid?

    I guess that could apply to dotcoms, too, now.

  19. I prefer an 8 day week on 13 Month Calendar? · · Score: 1
    A couple of years ago, my friends and I were trying to figure out what all those Y2K programmers were going to do after the beginning of the year 2000.

    I had come up with the idea of an 8 day week. The eighth day would be on the weekend. Thusly, we would still have a 5 day work week, but every weekend would be three days. This would certainly keep programmers busy.

    I named the day "Boonday". Under the Boonday calendar, every month had 4 weeks (32 days). There would be 11 months. This comes to 352 days. The last 13 (or 14 in leap year) days of the year are a national holiday where you can celebrate the winter holiday of you choice (or choose not to celebrate).

    It was all a big joke. I guess I should have written it up and promoted it back then.

  20. Re:"No network" = "No email"?? on The First Email Ever Sent · · Score: 1

    If I opened the envelope when no one was in the woods, would it make a sound?

  21. Re:"No network" = "No email"?? on The First Email Ever Sent · · Score: 1

    If I carry an envelope from the desk over to my wife on the couch, is it mail?

  22. Inc. != Publicly Traded Company on 3-Dimensional Holographic Projector · · Score: 1

    Just because a company is incorporated (Inc.) does not mean it is publicly traded.
