  1. Re:Wept for Joy? on Flip-Pad Voyager: Dual-screen Laptop · · Score: 0

    Or not. Considering our sun is classified as a YELLOW STAR, as opposed to a white dwarf. Not to mention that everytime I've seen the damn thing, it appears yellow.

  2. Not to mention... on Improv Animation as an Art Form? · · Score: 0

    ...that in 10 to 20 years when we can render images such as those in Toy Story (or even in something like Star Wars: AotC), the new hardware will be there taking 70 hours per frame still; albiet that new hardware will be producing images that are indistinguishable from real life.

  3. What?! on Minority Report · · Score: 0

    He didn't go blind! I mean...have you ever tried to do, well just about anything, with one eye covered? Things don't go so well. You can't tell if something is 2 feet away or 10; you lose all depth perception. He'd have been stumbling around breaking things.

  4. Re:The problem is... on Dutch Judge Cracks Down on Hyperlinks · · Score: 0

    Never say something like: "No one would be dumb enough...". Trust me, as far as people in general go, there is ALWAYS someone dumb enough.

    25% of the world may be hungry. Another large portion may live without drinkable water, but one thing NO ONE is in short supply of is dumb people.

    hmm....maybe we should start feeding the dumb people to the rest of us. YES! A solution to world hunger!

  5. Re:Fast? on New York Times Plugs OpenOffice Suite · · Score: 0

    If you're using Windows....have you tried to open MS Office lately? Specifically the XP version? Its not all the much faster.

  6. Re:How annoying on Mobile Phone in Your Teeth! · · Score: 1

    My god man, where do you get diction like that? ..be like totally...

    Although, I must admit you have a point. If the phone relies on relaying the message along your bone structure, what happens if you cough, or worese yet, fall down. The person on the other end of the line might end up deaf!

  7. impaling.... on SpamNet: Razor for the Masses · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Spammers need to be impaled on long barbed spikes. I think that the Slashdot Community wouldagree with me

  8. Re:Nerd Never Gets the Girl :( on LindowsOS Softens Microsoft-Compatibility Claim · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Interesting place to dump your emotional angst. A slashdot forum on LindowsOS.

    I'll respond with something I've learned over the years:

    1) There isn't a woman alive that isn't bipolar.
    2) There isn't a woman alive that isn't a masicist. (Hence their attraction to the "Woman get me a beer" gene)
    3) Teenagers don't know what they want.
    4) Women don't know what they want. (In life or otherwise)
    5) Teenage women are (#3 ^ #4)
    6) True love exists -- at the bottom of a liquor bottle

    lol....just my impressions.

  9. Whats wrong with IE? on AP reports on renewed "Browser War" · · Score: 1

    Everyone says the IE breaks the standards and so on. Unfortunetly we're missing the fact that IE has become the standard, while someone out there said, "Ok....this is how HTML is supposed to work", Bill came along and said, "No....this is how HTML is going to work". Unfortunetly, like the Operating System, we can all be rebels and feel very special about being smart and using Linux and so on, but it won't change the fact that Bill will always market his HTML on the mindless masses, who drive the capitalistic economies of the world. thereby defining what would be referred to as a "standard".

  10. Re:The issue is not Open Source versus Proprietary on Warcraft III Gone Gold · · Score: 1

    Companies should not sue independant not-for-profit individuals just because their work happens to interfere (theoretically!) with their business model!

    Unfortunetly for you, its their obligation to do so. Down with Capitalism, eh? ::shakes head::

  11. Re:You're not serious- others may be different... on Warcraft III Gone Gold · · Score: 0, Troll

    Oh you're a consumer alright. Unless you don't buy food at a grocery store. Then again if you pay attention to your principals you mustn't eat there. I mean, 25 years ago that big corporate store bought Ma and Pa's grocery store and built their big and mean store on top of it, and that just isn't right, now is it?

  12. Who Cares? on Warcraft III Gone Gold · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Who cares if they're suing people. I'm sorry, just because they don't exactly follow the mores of the Slashdot Community, doesn't make them evil. Certain things are forgivable when you makes games as well as they do.

    Some people just like to have a cause.

  13. Sales? on Get Ready For Divx On Xbox · · Score: 1

    A resurgance of sales? Maybe if you're only looking at the Slashdot Community. Although. I seriously doubt the 0.5% of the public market technically savvy enough to implement a mod is going to recreate another buying frenzy. Like most technically interesting, but corporately unsponsored things, this will be the area of a few people willing to take the time and money to mod the box and download all the necessary utilities to use DIVX.
