  1. Re:Delaware and Corporations on MP3.com Countersues RIAA · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure exactly what tax it is, but I know corporations save a lot of $ by incorporating in Delaware due to the tax laws there.

  2. What the hell was that? on DeCSS Injunction Ruling · · Score: 1

    I can't be the only one who, when a few minutes ago tried to read this page at -1 flat mode, got immediately forwarded to http://randall.8k.com/oldindex.html, as the counter said 304 people hit it when I last visited.

    Someone abusing the comments by inserting script code? :(

    Anonymous Cowards are killing Slashdot. Seriously.. even the incredible # of moderators aren't enough to keep up now. Ban Anonymous Cowards, but give users the ability to still post anon as long as they login.

  3. Linking? on DeCSS Injunction Ruling · · Score: 1

    Would it be illegal now to link to somewhere outside of the US that is publishing the code on their page?

  4. ZDNet has an article as well.. on Andover.Net and VA Linux Join Together · · Score: 2

    It can be found here.

  5. A little concern.. on AOL 5 Gets $8 Billion Class Action Suit · · Score: 1

    I read this in the Washington Post on the way to work this morning.. surely someone submitted this.. why is there such a lag time on submissions? I see 351 pending..

    And I don't know if this is just due to LinuxWorld.. it seems some new staff came on and have been posting stories, but it still doesn't seem to be enough for some reason..

    This isn't meant as a flame, just a concern. I want Slashdot to be the one source I go to to get news, but at this point, that's not really news anymore. Kudos to all of the Slashdot crew for all the work they've put in, but maybe they can bring another person or two on to help out and speed things up a bit?

  6. Slashdot streaming? on Slashdot Live @ LinuxWorld · · Score: 2

    Does this mean I get to hear people shouting 'First Post!' and talking about Natalie Portman naked and petrified with a bowl of hot grits?

    :)

  7. on PSX2 To Replace Your PC? · · Score: 1

    Like it wasn't enough having to write code that NS, IE, and AOL would display somewhat similar, now you have the Dreamcast (and god how horrible is the Dreamcast browser. I'll concede it -might- be somewhat useable if I had the Dreamcast keyboard, but .. why would I go buy that? So I can browse at 320x200 resolution?), and soon the PSX2 to worry about?

    ...

    It is a -bitch- to view pages on the Dreamcast. In my routine surfing on one for testing, I don't think I came across one I didn't have to scroll horizontally on. I envision the PSX2 is going to suffer from the same shortcomings.

  8. Re:Is This Really "Stuff That Matters"? on Happy 'Even Day' - the First in 1112 Years · · Score: 1

    Is saying this really worth your time? And who the hell wasted time moderating that up? Just don't read the fscking story if you're not interested. Clicking on the Read More link and posting a comment bitching about it is lame. No one cares. Find a better use for your time.

  9. Rejection.. on Replacing SAT with LEGOs · · Score: 1

    Ouch.

    We've probably all gotten a rejection letter or two when we applied to college. It sucked. Can you imagine this though?

    First, to get hit with something like "You didn't score well enough on the SATs, but here are some legos. Go at it."

    Second, to get another rejection letter:

    "Your robot building skills do not meet Colorado College standards. Your application is rejected for the Fall 2001 term. We suggest you go back to Duplo blocks and reapply next semester."

    Heh, how goofy were those Duplo blocks. They were fscking HUGE.

  10. I hope you all realize this isn't a bad thing. on Microsoft Plans Media Player for Linux? · · Score: 3

    (insert random comment of getting moderated down for not bashing MS)

    I'll take any media players I can get for Linux.. I don't really care who's writing it, I think it's important that if Windows Media Player does gain enough share over Real, that there is a way to still play media on Linux.

  11. ABC Interview.. on China and the MPA · · Score: 1

    Has it aired yet? I don't recall seeing a summary or wrap-up of it here.. anyone got any info for us?

  12. About time.. on First Other Solar System discovered · · Score: 1

    I was getting tired of this solar system anyway.

  13. Doesn't really matter. on 3 Computers in One Case · · Score: 1

    Even with 3 computers in 1 case, it cannot stand up to the mighty /. effect. :)

  14. /.'ed already? on Hacked Sites of the Future · · Score: 1

    That certainly didn't take long.. :(
