  1. Re:Does Apple Matter? on Amelio, Raskin, Gassée On What Apple Means · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Now THANKS to Apple, we're stuffing.. oh wait, we're wishing we could stuff 3.5 floppies into those tupperware containers. MY kinda fun! It's amazing how they can market it so no one cares. They should try and market bodies without asses, and see if people notice.

  3. Re:Clarification on Slashback: Efficiency,Observation,WEP · · Score: 2

    They aren't going to look at the compressed video streams, but when you get sent the plain text header for the file hot_sexy_porn.rm, it gives it away.

  4. Re:Layoffs = increasing revenue? on Mega-ISP Update: Layoffs At AOL, Voices At MSN · · Score: 2

    Yes, they first thought they could get more revenue from dropping marketing. But when that failed, they needed to lay off more people.

  5. Re:Boycott Damascus Steel!! on Recreating The Lost Art Of Damascus Steel · · Score: 2

    Keep in mind they patented their PROCESS for making Damascus Steel, not Damascus Steel.

  6. The URL on ZeRo4 Wins; Quake: The Movie Released · · Score: 4, Interesting

  7. Re:In the seller's comments: on Own Your Own Russian Space Shuttle · · Score: 5, Funny

    Complaint: Did not recieve shuttle promptly as promised, didn't even work I recieved it. F-------

  8. If you want more information.. on Patent Invention Machines · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you want more information on genetic programming, check out these articles posted on slashdot a couple days ago.

  9. Re:Sorry, my fault they went under on Rhythms Flatlines · · Score: 1

    I don't like "Qworst". Before Qwest bought out US West, I had "US Worst", it sounds SO much better. Oh well, it's the price you pay.. But you're right about Qwest. Becoming a CLEC and going up against Qwest is hard work.

  10. Re:$50 on Dynamix Closed Down? · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that Tribes connects to a central server to give you a list of all the other servers. If that gets shut down then you'll have to go into irc and give IP's and whatnot to connect to a game. Not fun.

  11. Re:Read your TOS! on Broadband Crackdown · · Score: 1

    With @home their upstream is restricted to 15K. So it's not a bandwidth concern, and they never check to see if you have a server running. They just don't want to be liable if you want to sue for an outage, or anything else that may come up.

  12. Documentation of artifical gravity. on Gravitational Repulsion Effect Claimed · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hooked up to my computer is a device which shoots ions onto a curved piece of glass. When I stop passing electrons to this device, and place a piece paper on it, the paper is pulled to it. Like gravity. My new energy source. I have documented my ion device in more detail here.

    And we all know that people HATE easy. Screw windows hell! We don't want your EASY around here!

  14. Re:Um..."...didn't have a learning curve."?!? on Why Linux Won't Ever Be Mainstream · · Score: 1

    The printer will automatically detect and install the driver for you on startup. You would have to try to not get the printer installed (not that hard though, just disable it in the device manager). Of course that's just one example, and some things do have a curve. But I think it's enough to show my point of what linux would need to become to be main stream.

    "I would rather have an OS that didn't have a learning curve." Sorry about the mixup.

  16. Re:agreed. on Why Linux Won't Ever Be Mainstream · · Score: 2

    I have done some tech support in my day. And I have people who have never touched a computer before. And I get them setup. Is it because of my degree in installing printers in windows? No, it's because it's really easy to do. I'm not some windows zealot that thinks MS should rule the world. I'm saying that linux needs to get that easy to be *the* OS.

  19. Re:conversion back to MP3? on Napster To Abandon MP3 For .NAP · · Score: 1

    They can force you to use special speakers. So the whole loop is secure. The only choice you would have is to put a mic next to your digitally secured speakers.

  20. Re:the net cant be censored on Australians Barred From Gambling Online · · Score: 1

    With porn you can be a little more anonymous if you're one of those kids that gets off to the sample pictures. But sometimes you have to give up a credit card number. Visa now knows that Joe Schmoe is going to this site and paying for gambling. If they want to send a check it has to have your name on it instead of "Anonymous Coward" and an address to send it to. Of course you can still to the site and take a look at the "sample gambling", but that just isn't the same.

  21. Maybe it's not enough energy, but.. on Piezoelectric Shoe Power · · Score: 2

    I would like a shoe that stores up sole-bending energy to help me go up hills. More than I would want to waste it running my wrist watch or somethin'.

  22. Sound a little arrogant there.. on Hormel Gracefully Concedes On SPAM vs. Spam · · Score: 1

    I mean Follow SPAM with "Luncheon Meat", do you think these people have every tried SPAM "Luncheon Meat"? They should try and just get used to "SPAM, It's better than nothing". Or "SPAM, Looks like meat, smells like meat, must be meat"

  23. I think Aimster will have an easy argument on Aimster Loses Domain to AOL · · Score: 1

    First, on their site they always call it "Aimster", not "AIMster". And "aim" is a dictionary word. Now that might not be enough in itself, but they have little bulls eyes all over the place. Cause it's *Aim*ster, ha, punny.
