  1. Re:PCI-X on Open Source Graphics Card Available For Advance Orders · · Score: 2, Informative

    This product needs to be realized on PCI-E, other wise it'll just be a hobbyist item that will never become anyting more.

  2. Re:but... on First Release Candidate of Wine 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    That ones is a big hit withe Homeland Department of Redundancy Department of Homeland Departments.

  3. space vs social spending on Where Are The Space Advocates? · · Score: 1

    There you go folks. The subject says it all. The growth and demand of social spending will make it impossible to commit resources to space exploration and growth to the point where humanity will eventually die choking on it's own piss and vomit. Space advocates are relegated to the same status of Ron Paul supporters.

  4. Re:got 1st market share with games n never forgot on Microsoft Decides To Take On Linux On Low-Cost PCs · · Score: 1

    That made my head hurt.

  5. Re:but... on First Release Candidate of Wine 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    It's only a matter of time untill someone installs Linux under Wine. They'll post it into a blog, and it'll get linked here on slashdot.

  6. Re:Clean keyboards on Widespread Keyboard Failures on OLPC's XO-1 · · Score: 1

    My g15 lost a section of keys that stopped responding. It's not the dust/crap/whatever, it's shitty mechanical design of keyboards these days. Doesn't matter if it's a cheap ass keyboard or an expensive one, they are all crap underneath the keys.

  7. What's the big deal? on Microsoft "Albany" Offers Office and Security as Subscription · · Score: 1

    Transgaming has been doing this with Cedega for years.

  8. Re:Give him presents ... on Dealing With an IT Bully · · Score: 1

    I dunno about other IT guys, but that just freaks me out when a client does that.

  9. Re:Slashdot ID... on Dealing With an IT Bully · · Score: 1

    I've used "You are an idiot!" as my parting assessment of a client that I fired. Works rather well.

  10. Re:Slashdot ID... on Dealing With an IT Bully · · Score: 1

    I've always found "Bow before me noob!" to be more effective.

  11. Re:Well, duh! on Before the Big Bang: A Twin Universe? · · Score: 1

    Hrm, to elaborate on perception. I could probably write a whole book on that, or better yet... get a research grant, and spend it all on hookers and blow.

    The further we look from out own point in space/time outward into the universe we will see that things farther away are moving away from us faster than something not so far away from our point in space/time. The acceleration is perceived, not real. We, humans, have only been observing, and measuring the universe for a very short time. Too short to really say 'well, it's accelerating, decelerating, etc...'

  12. Re:Well, duh! on Before the Big Bang: A Twin Universe? · · Score: 1

    Perception.

  13. Well, duh! on Before the Big Bang: A Twin Universe? · · Score: 1

    Of course. If there's a long series of 'big bangs' followed by 'big crunches' etc... Then it would just follow that there was a previous 'universe' that underwent a big bang/big crunch cycle, one before that, and probably one after ours crunches down then explodes again to creat another 'universe'.

    Yes, it will crunch down again because gravity always wins, even against Chuck Norris.

  14. It's all bullshit anyway on Feds Overstate Software Piracy's Link To Terrorism · · Score: 2, Insightful

    'IP' (hate that term) piracy is just small beans compared to Identity Theft, and the government doesn't even seem to be considering passing legislation that would protect the victims from identity thieves and the resulting collection hassles.

  15. Re:My reply to "Creative", FWIW on Creative Vista Driver Modder Speaks Out · · Score: 1

    Well, that's certianly nicer than my Product Suggestion feedback that they shove their sound cards up their collective asses.

  16. Re:Abuse? on FBI Posts Fake Hyperlinks To Trap Downloaders of Illegal Porn · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It's better for an innocent man to rot in prison than to let a criminal go free.

    If current law enforcement principles were applied to the Vietnam war, the My Lai massacre would have been deemed a successfull operation.

  17. Re:Not a "leak" ? on JP Morgan's Insider Trading How-To On Wikileaks · · Score: 1

    Even though it doesn't violate the letter of the law, it certainly violates the spirit of the law.

  18. Re:It is not true. on China Blocks YouTube Over Tibet Videos · · Score: 1

    The Chinese government is in control in China, and doesn't have to justify jack and shit.

  19. Re:Why only Tibet? on China Blocks YouTube Over Tibet Videos · · Score: 1

    It's all romanticism. There are issues local to us all that deserve our attention more than Tibet does. The kids just need to forget about Tibet, and work on freeing their heads from their asses.

  20. Re:US politics... on UK Police Want DNA of 'Potential Offenders' · · Score: 4, Insightful

    All political systems are biased against honest people.

  21. Re:US politics... on UK Police Want DNA of 'Potential Offenders' · · Score: 1

    Romney does well because most people think that Mormonism is a Christian religion. With Lieberman, relgion hasn't been an issue AFAIK.

  22. Oh, c'mon, the real reason on The REAL Reason We Use Linux · · Score: 1

    Because we're cheap bastards.

  23. Robot? on Hacking the Tux Droid · · Score: 1

    The damn thing doesn't even move around. It just pivots in place, etc... There's absolutely no way you can mount a megawatt laser to this thing, and get the respect of your enemies.

  24. Re:test the waters with a website on $5 Per Month Fee Proposed For Legal Music P2P · · Score: 1

    Then they would have to track what was downloaded, and pay artists. In the proposed way they can claim they don't know what was downloaded, keep the whole fee for themselves, and cut out the artists completely.

  25. Re:As a musician ... I work too hard for my money on $5 Per Month Fee Proposed For Legal Music P2P · · Score: 1

    Perhaps he/she doesn't want a record contract. The majority of muscians/singers that sign up with record companies end up going into debt.
