  1. Bandwidth isn't a material on How Would You Deal With A Global Bandwidth Crisis? · · Score: 1

    Limiting my access to a website hosted in the same city I'm in won't free up bandwidth for someone across the globe (unless they're also trying to access said website). How about we call it what it is, a lack of capacity in specific geographical areas? And while we're at it, make a few mirrors of Bob's Quick Guide to the Apostrophe wouldn't hurt.

  2. Relation to the airwaves? on Truth in Ratings Act Reintroduced · · Score: 1

    And how does this relate to managing allocation of the electromagnetic spectrum?

  3. Re:Got ta say..... on YouTube Hands Over User Info To Fox · · Score: 1

    No, it was theft, because that episode of 24 didn't air.

    Oh wait, it did. I guess the thief returned it in time for broadcast...

  4. Re:IP Rights. on Google News Found Guilty of Copyright Violation · · Score: 1

    "Its more insidious then any terrorist group, or rouge nation."

    I'm not a big fan of makeup either, but that's taking it a bit far!

  5. "Blurred" areas point to secrets on HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Protections Fully Broken · · Score: 1

    I also saw that in my "corrupt" memdump the VUK, Vol ID, Media Key and the Title Key MAC were all closely clustered in memory: in the first 50kb (of the entire multi megabyte file!) but there were large empty parts around it. Almost as if it was cleaned up.

    Just like Google maps having certain areas blurred, clearing just the sensitive things draws more attention to them. Here it was just a simple matter of going back and finding what was there before it was "blurred".

  6. Re:Timely? on MS Seeks Patent For Repossessing School Computers · · Score: 1

    We haven't had time to notice it since we've been keeping attention on the ads so our computers keep running.

  7. Re:Who is the ultimate source? on Apple, the New Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    Duh, people who use cool words like penultimate!

  8. Re:Use what you want ... on Windows Expert Jumps Ship · · Score: 1

    So your're saying that the Mac is so good, even a representative of neutrality would prefer one.

    (only making a joke, not an elitist comment)

  9. Re:Reconstructive Surgery NOT Benefitted. on Woman Wins Right to Criticize Surgeon on Website · · Score: 1

    Wow. At least they still operate on humans. In a few decades it'll mostly be people's pets (along with pet psychiatrists and pet exercise coaches).

  10. Re:Title Correction: on Woman Wins Right to Criticize Surgeon on Website · · Score: 1

    This is America, bub. You have to win your innocence and rights whenever we tell you to.

  11. Re:Net Neutrality? on Canadian Government Rejects Net Neutrality Rules · · Score: 1

    Being dropped as a customer for using "too much" bandwidth is not a neutrality issue, since this results in equal loss of connectivity to everything. It's another issue for sure, one of providers making false claims.

  12. Re:Waste of money! on Measure Anything with a Camera and Software · · Score: 1

    It could also "count" sub-pixels, giving much higher resolution. Of course it would be assuming that the object doesn't have a gray edge or whatever. That 99.5% accuracy sounds suspect, assuming it means that the measurement is always within 0.5% of the actual. What about when it's way wrong?

  13. Re:'Texting' on Upside Down Phone Patent · · Score: 1

    Mod parent -1: Not suitable while eating

    (eating my breakfast... well, was)

  14. Re:For a little perspective on Viacom Claims Copyright On Irrlicht Video · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ahahaha, your post is the best goddamn protest of Slashdot's lameness filter. I love it! Feed the computer its own stupid replies until it gives in.

  15. Re:Woops... on Viacom Claims Copyright On Irrlicht Video · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Quick guys, copyright your wedding videos and personal amateur porn before they do!"

    That's somewhat of a problem, because they are automatically copyrighted when you make them. Even my lame post here is copyrighted. Permission-based culture indeed.

  16. Future capacity on Parking Attendant 2.0 · · Score: 1

    640 cars per garage should be enough for anyone.

  17. Blue screen of death is a terrorist act! on Aqua Teen Stunt Costs Turner and Agency $2M · · Score: 0, Troll

    I say we yell and scream and call the authorities every time we see a BSOD. Stick it to Microsoft!

  18. The real winners... on Apple Inc. Inks Apple Corps Deal · · Score: 1

    "each party bearing its own legal costs"

    As always, the lawyers always win no matter what the outcome. Theremodynamically, their wins are like heat: always generated when there's any friction.

  19. Re:As long as there is something good... on Vista a Threat to Internet Freedom? · · Score: 1

    "It's just a matter of how long it takes them to A. Figure out that it is good and B. to figure out how they want to fuck it up."

    Really. Why won't people respect the corporations for their hard work? It's not easy to keep culture locked up.

  20. Re:What happens next... on Wii Hacked To Control Sword-Wielding Robot · · Score: 1

    "After a fun day of playing "Swordsman" with the robot they accidentally hand it the Wii remote"

    And the moral is: positive feedback loops can be deadly.

  21. Re:Note who Tivo considers its "clients" to be... on TiVo Selling Data on Users' Watching Habits · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The people you refer to are mere consumers, hogs who eat whatever you throw them. Advertising and marketing companies, these are the gods who must be served, for they are the source of all that is good in the world!

  22. Re:Fake Steve! on 'Best' Fake Blog of 2006 Awarded · · Score: 1

    How is that any different than a "real" blog?

  23. *Can* be taken over totally on Bill Gates Brags About Vista, Reacts to Apple's Latest Ads · · Score: 1

    "security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine."

    And every single day, probably thousands of Windows machines are taken over by malware, in the wild. Unless I'm a user with an inconsiderate security researcher in my house who daily takes over my machine, that they do this in their labs is irrelevant to me.

  24. Re:Cisco iPhone name on iPhone Lawsuit Put On Hold For The Moment · · Score: 1

    "Apple lawyers immediately trademarked the name "iRony"."

    I take it they're Vanilla Ice fans?

  25. Different than a discount? on Dell's Intel Bias Caused By Under the Table Cash? · · Score: 1

    How is this different than Intel simply giving Dell a lower price on their CPUs, or a "rebate" of sorts? In the end, the net flow of money is from Dell to Intel. Would it be perfectly fine if Intel sold Dell CPUs at $1 each, in order to make it silly for them to use AMD?
