  1. Leaving earth on Cops Bust Starcraft Clan · · Score: 1

    holly cow, I hope they won't be busting any slashdot users then.
    Why did I have to be born on planet earth? Technology evolves but those damn humans don't. First they kill for freedom then they kill freedom. What a bunch of idiots.

  2. Re:XFL will probably catch on with geeks on Technology And The XFL · · Score: 1

    RedHat and Mandrake should use babes to sell their product. I'll go with the one who's got the most attractive babes.

  3. Re:Once again another Jon Katz success on Technology And The XFL · · Score: 1

    You look like Kurt Angle paying homage to Vince.

  4. why not an XHL? on Technology And The XFL · · Score: 1

    Vince should have created a Hockey league instead, now nothing can get rougher than hockey. Fights, bodychecks, slapshots and more shots. Hockey is way more spectacular than Football, you won't need extremely talented players to put on a show. I'm sure he'll still be able to put cheerleaders, it's not very cold in a hockey arena. Personnally i think cheerleaders are wasting their talent but I don't mind watching them :)
    That Vince almost got it right, oh well I'm sure his XFL league will do well anyway but I hope he'll create an XHL to. We Canadians love nothing more than Hockey

  5. I'm not sure I understand on Microsoft Ties DRM Technology To Windows · · Score: 1

    Are we talking about .wma files in Windows Media Player 7 or something else? Because I see absolutely nothing that prevents piracy in .wma files. It's mp3 files in wma format.
    I read on zdnet that it is supposed to make it as easy to buy songs as it is to pirate them, that way more people will buy.

  6. Re:You mean I have to pay for music now??? on Microsoft Ties DRM Technology To Windows · · Score: 1

    Giving away stuff for free? Is this some kind of charity organisation or are those people priests?

  7. Re:They MUST defend the appearence... on Apple Moves Again To Squash Look-Alikes · · Score: 1

    Mainstream? Apple's share is not even 15% how is that mainstream?
    I gave OS 9 a try, it sucked big time and crashes a lot. Hell you can't multi-task while doing a CD-Copy, now that's crap. And what am i supposed to do with a one button mouse? If the interface is supposed to be easy how come I can't seem to handle it? Geez even UNIX command-line is more user friendly than that piece of crap. And the interface is ugly as shit for some reason it gives me the impression that i'm using a monochrome monitor

  8. That's why I like MS on Apple Moves Again To Squash Look-Alikes · · Score: 1

    There are plenty of skinz who look like Windows but MS aren't a bunch of morons to sue. Apple on the other hand just seem to look for an excuse to sue anyone. Why not sue the entire Aqua Blue planet?

    hey MS doesn't have a patent on their One Click Desktop, i'm gonna patent it.

    Yeah sure I believe you, and I invented the idea of one click websurfing. They owe me big time.

  12. Re:All Java?? on Microsoft And Sun Settle · · Score: 1

    hey stop complaining, I'm getting two semesters of ADA programming.

  13. Re:Trademark on Microsoft And Sun Settle · · Score: 1

    "Java is a trademark of Sun Microsystems. Could that be why Microsoft is calling its next J*v*-like product .NET instead of Java? "
    .NET is language independant. You can use PERL, Java, Python, C#, VB, whatever the hell you want

  14. MS isn't loosing Java as of yet on Microsoft And Sun Settle · · Score: 1

    "For its part, Microsoft is permitted to use a version of Java in Microsoft products that already contain it or are in beta for the next seven years, according to Microsoft. " - ZDNet Java will even be used in the .NET platform and .NET is going to last very long.

  15. Calm down JonKatz on Bush And The Tech Nation · · Score: 1

    hey calm down dude, Bush might sue you for corrupting the fragile little minds of innocent slahdotters. He probably sees you as a cult leader or something.

    Why, what for, who will play Quake on a Pocket PC?

  17. Re:You may not know that on What Privacy? UK DNA Database Could Grow Fast · · Score: 1

    Sorry I don't remember, they talked about it briefly on television, on the TLC channel if I remmeber well. Oh and just to make sure I'm not confusing you I wasn't talking about the DNA thing but the video surveillance on the streets.

  18. You may not know that on What Privacy? UK DNA Database Could Grow Fast · · Score: 1

    You may not know that yet but this is also done in a few US cities and what's shocking is that most people in those cities aren't against it, au contraire.
    It's a different world out their.

  19. Re:Why is this even being discussed? on Antitrust · · Score: 1

    Great at least there's someone who shares my opinion. And why do Open Source hackers contribute to a very proprietary Hollywood movie?
    Guess they're even more money hungry than M$.

  20. Double Standards? on Antitrust · · Score: 1

    Remember MGM --> MPAA. Suddenly it's okay for linux hackers to participate in the development and watch the movie of an evil company? I'm pretty much disappointed

  21. Re:As an American living and working in Australia. on Microsoft Critiques Australian IT Policies · · Score: 1

    What's wrong with that? I have absolutly no problem with that at all! It makes people at least take an interest in who is running the country, unlike the US, where the turn out rate is pathetic
    Funny guy, you want a government who tells you if you should vote or not? Now that's pathetic. and I don't see why anyone would take interest in politics, we got nothing good out of politicians except taxes, wars, more taxes. I have to handed to them though they teached me how to find good excuses and make better lies, they do have some good technique in that field, actually they're the best.

  22. Re:Media Levy is Nothing New. on France To Tax Blank Computer Media · · Score: 1

    Yes we've had this since last year and we kept our mouth shut long enough. Canadian people are too peaceful for their own good.

  23. I was wondering on Class Action Lawsuit Against VA · · Score: 1

    Is their a company that haven't been sued yet? All the profit that this companies make goes in the pockets of lawyers. People even get sued for exercicing their right of free speach.

  24. Re:What IT Is And Isn't on What is 'IT'? · · Score: 2

    The invention itself is as interesting as the inventor. Kamen -- "a true eccentric, cantankerous and opinionated, a great character," according to the proposal -- dropped out of college in his 20s, then invented the first drug infusion pump; he later created the first portable insulin pump and dialysis machine.

    Of course he knows what he's doing he dropped out of college.

  25. They're patenting it on What is 'IT'? · · Score: 1

    My guess is that they're patenting the whole Information Technology field, by 2002 they'll own all geeks.
