  1. Re:Even more amazing... on Windows Vista Beta Running on a PPC Mac · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Yes, but you guys are missing the most amazing aspect of this... this is an x86 emulator sold by Microsoft for PPC! And it's emulating a Microsoft x86 operating system on PPC! Dude, sweet!

  2. Re:blah blah election year nothing to see here! on Fraud in Internet Dating Prompting Regulation · · Score: 1

    There's a reason we avoid topics like that.

    They're super depressing!

  3. Re:blah blah election year nothing to see here! on Fraud in Internet Dating Prompting Regulation · · Score: 1
    this is yet another potential grand stand style red herring politicians can use to distract you from real issues.

    That's right ... we need to get back to the real issues. Like gay marriage!

  4. Easy solution on Enemy Code Broken 137 Years Late · · Score: 3, Funny
    I still expect to see 15 people asking where I found that information

    Just write it into the Wikipedia article on the Civil War and tell everyone that's where you found it. Problem solved!

  5. UCS and Soviet Union? on Abuses of Science Political Cartoon Contest · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What are you talking about exactly? UCS's opposition to the Reagan Strategic Defense Initiative on scientific grounds? That hardly amounts to support of Soviet geopolitical aims, no matter how you slice it. Perhaps I am ignorant of something else? if so, please enlighten me; otherwise I think the assertion is nonsense.

  6. Wrong link on Alien Bacteria May Have Landed in India · · Score: 1

    The journal goes by its acronym; it's right here.

  7. But they did say something! on Apple Pulls Out of India · · Score: 0, Troll

    Steve Jobs stood at the entrance and as each worker left, he said "Thank you! Come again!"

  8. Mulholland Drive? on Stupid Engineering Mistakes · · Score: 1
    I don't know if he built it, but I do know it was named after him.

    Wow, nothing gets by you, does it?

  9. they were on the verge of arrest on Extortion Virus Code Cracked · · Score: 1

    But then this story on slashdot tipped the guy off so he didn't go collect his payment. Way to go, slashdot! This is almost as bad as the time the CIA had a mole really close to bin Laden until slashdot exposed him.

  10. count again; it's 30 on Extortion Virus Code Cracked · · Score: 4, Funny

    (for exceptionally high values of 30.)

  11. yeah but the real question is on 13 Pico-Satellites to Launch June 28th · · Score: 2, Funny

    do these satellites run pico/Linux?

    Same with that girl who dumped you in eighth grade.

  13. Re:Another odd note... on Illumio to Launch Social Network Advice Software · · Score: 2, Insightful
    By excluding users of *BSD, Linux, OS X and other OSs, they are dramatically reducing the size of their network

    Especially if you're looking for an expert on one of these OSs.

    yes but he is a god to millions of people in Asia.

    Uhh, I mean, fourteen people at the CATO institute and another seven on #objectivism in IRC.

    Outlook not so good.

  16. Re:mod parent up! on How iPods Took Over the World · · Score: 1

    Believe me, I've definitely done that. Try it with a mixed CD -- not separate songs but songs blended together by the DJ -- yourself and you will see what I mean.

  17. mod parent up! on How iPods Took Over the World · · Score: 1

    Better yet, anyone know how to fix this?! Even just on iTunes, not necessarily on the iPod... as a DJ I often record mixes, and the only way I've found to listen to the mix without gaps is to record it as one giant song. That's fine, but if you distribute your mixes on CDs, you want song breaks so people can skip to whatever song they want. I can't figure out a way to do this using MacOS X (I usually record via SoundStudio and then put the mix into iTunes). Anyone know how to remedy this situation?

  18. Re:if the story is factual on Teens Arrested in MySpace Extortion Scam · · Score: 1

    hehe, maybe, but not if a mistrial gets declared due to prejudicial media reports, fueled by the lawyer's own actions. Maybe I'm giving the lawyer too much credit for strategizing though...

  19. Re:Welcome! on Teens Arrested in MySpace Extortion Scam · · Score: 2, Funny

    Bubba is in your extended network!

  20. Re:if the story is factual on Teens Arrested in MySpace Extortion Scam · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Their "stupid ass lawyer" is just doing his job. Like it or not, one of the drawbacks to having a judicial system that values the rights of the accused, is that the accused will exercise those rights whether or not they are guilty. That is simply the price of justice, and, frankly, I think it's worth it. Due process is not a mere annoyance, nor is the right to confront your accusers -- these things are essential to maintaining a justice system that society can accept. So these kids are probably totally guilty; it is still their lawyer's job to make whatever argument he can that will help them get off.

    Does someone have a link to the .torrent of all these blog comments that are being plagiarized? I want to, umm, "evaluate" them.

  23. Re:We can intercept it all, understand none of it. on Winning (and Losing) the First Wired War · · Score: 1
    American foriegn lanquage skills are notably crappy.

    Apparently their, umm, American lanquage skills need a bit of work too ;)

  24. yeah, great idea! on Pearl Jam Releases Video Under Creative Commons · · Score: -1, Troll

    Instead of paying to have your album advertised, give the advertisement away for free! Not only that, release it under a "free" license you don't really understand in a format nobody can do anything with! And then, get your lawyers to add some stupid conditions to the license so it really isn't "free" anymore! Then have marketing post a link to slashdot.

  25. easy on New Wide-Angle Telescope to Capture Night Sky · · Score: 5, Funny

    They'll put up a few bittorrent files and name them "Jenna Jameson porn XXX" and such.
