  3. Trotsky (OT) on Music Site AllofMP3 Under Investigation · · Score: 1

    Yeah, we in Mexico still remember Trotsky and the KGB assasins that got him... His house is now a museum, and his story here is quite interesting, as he was friends with Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, amongst others...

    AFAIK its a workaround to slashdot's buggy code, so it can't be a fix.

  9. Re:Where's the buggy-eyed smily when you need it? on Man Reportedly Jailed for Using Lynx · · Score: 1

    Animal sacrifice is only a part of santería rituals... there are other things they do that are just as ridiculous, like putting the statuette of the saint upside down in its altar if your petition hasnt been granted yet (thus "punishing" the lazy bastard).

    The 2USD bills are used in the preparation of amulets that bring prosperity (read: $$$)

  10. Re:Where's the buggy-eyed smily when you need it? on Man Reportedly Jailed for Using Lynx · · Score: 1

    Strange, here in latin america $2USD notes are considered "lucky" and are even used in some santería rituals...

  11. Re:But the SERVICE on Has TiVo's Fate Been Sealed? · · Score: 1

    America needs a data protection act so you can call them up and say 'give me a copy of all my records and any memos you have ever written about me'

    Being an ex-call center employee, I can confidently tell you don't want to know what customer reps think about you!

  12. Re:cool on 64-bit Windows XP Tested And Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Be aware that, for a color magazine, you have to form pages in groups of 8, so every "image" (image and text composites) is 8 times the size of the standard magazine page...

    So, color images, text, font information, etc., multiplied by 8... it can easily become a monster file my friend

  17. Re:In other news... on Consensus on Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Any time you see every scientist agree (or at least no scientist disagree) on a very controversial topic, be very suspicious.

    Mhmmm, you must be one of those people that think that the evolution of the species is just one theory among many, right?

    sigh...

    Yeah, couldnt they strike a deal with Nike so that the Heart of Gold could look like the latest and greatest Nike shoe?

    With an 1300mhz duron, 256mb ram and a 24x cdr drive, I still experience a 15% rate of failure on CDR burning.

  23. Re:Plot and coherence on Fantastic Four Animated Series · · Score: 1

    Problem with Dragonball was that Akira Toriyama was so frequently late with the manga(comic book) instalments of the story, that in several occasions the animated series caught up with the manga, forcing the producers to do "filler" episodes, or even worse, prolong fights ad infinitum. I think the most hilarious/pathetic example of this was at the end of the Freezer saga, when supposedly the story arc was about to end, the narrator says "planet Namek will explode in five minutes!", and then due to the Author being late with the rest of the story, the "last five minutes of planet Namek", last for about 15 chapters!

  24. Re:Don't do it... on High Tech Baby Monitoring? · · Score: 1

    Sorry but if Ugh and OOk were able to raise Eeek and UhahaaAAA! without 30 webcams, sattelite data relay's and 5.1 digital dolby surround I'm pretty sure that babies today will do just fine.

    Sure Ugh and Ook were able to raise Eek and Uhahaa just fine... they just lost 5 of their brothers to disease, wild beasts, rough winters and simple neglect.
