  1. What a pity on View the Moon in 3D on Your Desktop · · Score: 1

    That world wind is bloat ware... and that its 20 meters - too far away, I want to be able to see the flag :)

  2. Don't forget...! on No Respect for Windows Open Source · · Score: 1

    If you have to run it on a computer then that needs power and you are a slave of power! True open source runs on an abacus!

  3. Re:Agreed on Google DVRs and TV Advertising · · Score: 1

    The future is the same as the present: pay the provider for their cost in producing the content (via ads or direct purchase/subscription), plus pay the distributor for the cost of delivering the content to you.

    Plus the 2000% profit they expect.

  4. Re:Well, duh... on Apple Sells 1 Million Videos in Under 20 Days · · Score: 1

    That's because you buy crap.

  5. The should start naming them after dictators! on Tropical Storm Alpha Sets Naming Record · · Score: 1

    That would be more freighting that some silly girls name anyway. "Hurricane Hitler is approaching!" No more 'we'll tough it out' anymore. "Hurricane Stalin has been upgraded to a category 5!" - Eeek - run!

  6. Re:Taco? on Blizzard Made Me Change My Name · · Score: 1

    Nobody can program computers to be sentient yet.

  7. Their support system does indeed suck on Blizzard Made Me Change My Name · · Score: 1

    Its designed to take power away from you, you can write a message in the game, and if you are lucky you get to talk to someone. But mostly you just get a (totally stupid) message that you can't reply to! And it seems they have badly trained monkeys set to answer this, because 99.9% of the time they either didn't read what you wrote or sent some other stupid message.

    That said, you could have read their stupid naming rules when you signed up. (And Violated will probably get you another name change)

    Try City of Heroes, they only care about copyright ;)

    Or, since 90% of the players are in violation start going around turning everbody else in - when they get 10000 a day perhaps they'll change the policy :)

  8. Re:see, now I'm gonna try linux.. on VMWare Inc. Releases Free Virtual Machine Runtime · · Score: 1

    How did you get online? Here its impossible for it to connect to anything.

  9. Re:Tell me... on Hubble Zooms In On Moon Minerals · · Score: 1

    Ah.. clever. Thanks :)

  10. Tell me... on Hubble Zooms In On Moon Minerals · · Score: 1

    ...as a someone who slept through math it seems - that 0.0072 arc-second number you talk about - would it have to be smaller or larger for better resolution?

    If it had 1.1 arc-second would that be good? Or Would 0.00000001 be the ultimate?

  11. Re:4 ALREADY!? :( on Quake 4 Linux · · Score: 1

    Q3 is better, so don't worry :)

  12. Re:This could be very cool for demoing Linux apps on VMWare Inc. Releases Free Virtual Machine Runtime · · Score: 1

    Assuming you have agreed to anything.

  13. Re:Russell needs a writing lesson on BBC Announces Adult Doctor Who Spin-Off · · Score: 1

    Life is full of disappointments.

  14. So as a woman on Cell Phones Learn to Recognize Their Owners' Faces · · Score: 1

    You can only use it before or after you have applied makeup? :)

  15. The friend... on Video iPod Screen Test · · Score: 1

    ...is on the way to Gitmo as we speak ;)

  16. Can't burn to CD on Video iPod Screen Test · · Score: 1

    So you are stuck with a file on your harddrive - sounds like a good deal to me... not.

  17. The main problem... on The Problems with Broadband in America · · Score: 1

    ...is they are ripping you off with bandwith charges - it seems far to expensive in the US - where people whine all the time about how expensive it is if people download a picture from their site.

    It should be much cheaper.

    But I hear Google has offered free wifi to San Francisco, so perhaps the revolution is comming.

  18. Re:Ugh... on BBC Announces Adult Doctor Who Spin-Off · · Score: 1

    I think American TV has pretty much smashed the closet door wide open

    You are just talking about one aspect.

  19. No Line-Height ! on Designer on Slashdot Overhaul Plans · · Score: 1

    Fonts are supposed to be fucking scaleable, so don't use absolute font sizes!

    (No, I don't want to use a browser which ignores standards and allow you to scale them)

  20. Actually on BBC Announces Adult Doctor Who Spin-Off · · Score: 1

    He was just from a time where people dont have mental hangups about sex - like you do.

  21. Captain Jack sings too! on BBC Announces Adult Doctor Who Spin-Off · · Score: 1

    Well, the actor does anyway :)

  22. Here's an radio interview on BBC Announces Adult Doctor Who Spin-Off · · Score: 2, Informative

    Russell T. Davies is the guy behind the new Doctor Who, and also Torchwood. Here is an interview with him from BBC Wales about the new series: Why Torchwood?

  23. So how rippable is it? :) on ABC Affiliates Grapple With TV-Show Downloads · · Score: 1

    Not living the US I can't buy em :)

  24. It's dead Jim! on ABC Affiliates Grapple With TV-Show Downloads · · Score: 1
