  1. Re:Worrying news on Pandeya just incoming now on Pirate Bay Announces Sale to Swedish Company For $7.8 Million · · Score: 1

    Aha, that makes sense. The article was just formatted funny, i guess.

    Is it me, or does this publication look like a gossip paper? (think the Enquirer)

  2. Re:When the going gets tough... on Pirate Bay Announces Sale to Swedish Company For $7.8 Million · · Score: 1

    If they never have money, then they just go bankrupt and the companies don't get a cent.. makes sense to me.

  3. Re:Pirate Bay down? on Pirate Bay Announces Sale to Swedish Company For $7.8 Million · · Score: 1

    what the hell, neither can I. That was fast.

  4. Re:Worrying news on Pandeya just incoming now on Pirate Bay Announces Sale to Swedish Company For $7.8 Million · · Score: 1

    ....you can read that? Could someone put that into actually readable english for me?

  5. Re:They're not even keeping the money... on Pirate Bay Announces Sale to Swedish Company For $7.8 Million · · Score: 1

    I don't really think that GGF has the cash reserves of EA though =)

  6. Re:No profits made? on Pirate Bay Announces Sale to Swedish Company For $7.8 Million · · Score: 1

    But it already did. Though, how can they be convicted if they didn't even own the company?

  7. Re:When the going gets tough... on Pirate Bay Announces Sale to Swedish Company For $7.8 Million · · Score: 3, Informative

    Actually, they have said the money is going to political activism, not their fine.

  8. Re:Unfortunate on Of Catty Rants and Copyrights · · Score: 1

    That makes it a bit better, but the thought of maligned or corrupt judges is still scary.

    Also, I wonder how you'd spell out 'asshole' in legalese.

  9. Re:Unfortunate on Of Catty Rants and Copyrights · · Score: 1

    As much as i'd like to make being an asshole illegal, something tells me it would backfire majorly. I mean, what if someone thinks i'm an asshole because i'm bisexual? Unless my impression of the average american's opinion is rather off, this would just end up getting misused in ideological crusades.

  10. I'm curious on Of Catty Rants and Copyrights · · Score: 1

    Does anyone have a link to the original rant, and/or what this stuff about her family's business is about? It's a little confusing without the original context.

  11. Re:When Google StreetView can get the numbers righ on Smartphones Get "Reality Overlay" App · · Score: 1

    What about if people on slashdot didnt like it? Oh, wait, then it would vibrate anytime it existed. Or at least weren't at a computer.

  12. Re:Biometric scanners on Nielsen Recommends Not Masking Passwords · · Score: 1

    Looks like you will never need the money in your bank account again either, with that mentality.

  13. Sometimes on Iran Tries To Pacify Protesters With Lord of The Rings Marathon · · Score: 1

    Life really is stranger than fiction. This is hilarious, the onion would be hard pressed in besting it. Seriously. A LOTR marathon to distract people. I wonder if it would be funnier if it actually worked, or if it didn't...

  14. Re:Does anyone actually buy windows? on Microsoft Discloses Windows 7 Pricing · · Score: 1

    I did once, but that was just because my mom wouldnt let me pirate it >>

  15. Re:The REAL story on The Imminent Demise of SORBS · · Score: 1

    Its because they try to include as much useless information for people to go off on ideological tirades about as possible. How else would slashdot stay interesting?

  16. Re:Really??? on US Open Government Initiative Enters Phase Three · · Score: 1

    Just because you can doesnt mean you will. If i'm not incorrect one can grow tobacco too, and think how much people spend on (taxed to hell) cigarettes.

  17. Re:Here it is for 5c on NIH Spends $400K To Figure Out Why Men Don't Like Condoms · · Score: 2

    so like... when did slashdot start endorsing genital mutilation?

  18. So... on US House Democrats Unveil a Health Care Plan · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I read a bunch of slashdot comments, and the only logical conclusion i can find is that all healthcare systems suck and don't work for shit. I wonder if this means we need a completely new healthcare model. Or slashdotters just like to argue. Either way.

  19. Re:What are the lawyers thinking? on In Round 2, Jammie Thomas Jury Awards RIAA $1,920,000 · · Score: 1

    More like a few thousand dollars. It only seems reasonable the the amount one is forced to pay is based on the market cost of the pirtaed media (albums, whatever), instead of some batshit insane figure. Even 3-4x the cost of the songs would be arguable reasonable.

  20. ...darn on Montana City Requires Workers' Internet Accounts · · Score: 1

    ...darn! They'll be able to access my super-secret porn server!

  21. Re:Microsoft seeking a patent... on Windows 7 Licensing a "Disaster" For XP Shops · · Score: 1

    It does? Well shit, THAT'S why the stuff is so hard to find. i just assumed it was arranged in a weird way.

  22. Re:Am I missing the point? on Palm Pre Does Not Get US Tethering Either · · Score: 1

    I fail to understand why what kind of phone you have is all that relevant.. they seem to subsidize all phones, even the cheap ones.

  23. Re:Microsoft seeking a patent... on Windows 7 Licensing a "Disaster" For XP Shops · · Score: 1

    The ribbon isnt that bad of an idea, except they got rid of the menus. I bet it works great if you've never used office before.. its just we know where everything was in the menus, so its a nightmare trying to figure out where the heck they put things. It wouldnt be so bad if they just ASKED which one you wanted. Newer users probably do fine with the bloody ribbon.

  24. Re:Zero results on Extracting Meaning From Millions of Pages · · Score: 1

    You're confusing this with wolfram alpha, methinks.

  25. something i've never head of on Extracting Meaning From Millions of Pages · · Score: 1

    Turns out to be way cooler than Wolfram Alpha. Now just think if it has the whole web. Wait, scratch that, I bet wikipedia's already in there. Also, skynet.
