  1. Re:Awww come on on Revenge for the Foil Apartment? · · Score: 1

    But that's a lot of work...
    and this is funnier in the meantime!

    Actually, I think Peer approval won't get your stockholders rich would be more approriate

  3. Re:Ideal mp3 player on Build Your Own MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    I had line-in on my old stereo. In my opinion, this is such an underated feature!

  4. Re:Oops... on Bizarre Deep Sea Fish Dredged Up By Tsunami · · Score: 2

    I think the thing you have to do is look at both sides of the picture. When people are trying to make an argument, they often only tell part of the picture. This goes for both the good and the bad side. It's up to you to get both sides, and figure things out for yourself.

  5. Re:It depends on the country you live... on Tax Time Again: Any Linux Solutions? · · Score: 1

    While this sounds like a good idea, I don't think it is. I have seen how efficient the government is at making things. If the government made the software, it would probably add $100 to each taxpayers taxes, rather then the $30 for the tax software

    The fact this got modded insightful tells us we have some Canadian moderators ;)

  7. Re:Only 79 /.ers in six weeks. What does that say? on IBM Grid Near 50,000 machines - Slashdot Users #13 · · Score: 1

    Actually, work is where I do use linux.
    I browse from home, where I need Windows to play games.
    Nice to see the firefox conversion has worked though

  8. Re:One more time, just for fun on Whippersnappers Bad-Mouth Old Games · · Score: 1

    Actually, you missed the comma after "If you write like a 4 year old child". You can check this page for a reference.

  9. Re:Contrinutions on Game Industry Bigger Than Hollywood · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actully, according to This Article the porn industry brings in between 4 and 10 billion. I heard on the news the other day a figure of 9 billion, which they said we more then the big 3 networks combined

    This story is a dupe....whoops someone already posted that. I feel like an idiot, posting the same thing over and over again

  11. Re:a tax on? on Canada Quashes Copyright Tax on MP3 Players · · Score: 1

    It's on the media, so a cd player was not taxed, regardless of what it played. The blank CD's on the other hand would be

  12. Re:Vote with dollars on MPAA to Sue BitTorrent Tracker Servers · · Score: 1

    I can deal with the movie trailers. It's nice to see what's coming up, on the big screen. And it's fairly relevant advertising. But all of the commercials are just getting ridiculous.

  13. Re:Improvements in data center technologies? on Half of U.S. I.T. Operations Jobs to Vanish · · Score: 1

    You should look at changing your supermarket. I still have yet to see many people using them, for any more then express lanes.
    If they put it in wrong, you can yell at them, or talk to their manager, the problem gets fixed easily. If you screw it up yourself, you have no recourse.
    SAnd I would still have to look at a list, rather then let them do it from their brain. I can't speak for you, but my time is valuable enough to pay for someone to take this tedious task out of my life.
    And the supermarkets here are very nice. But we don't have trendy coffee shops. Maybe that's the difference

  14. Re:Improvements in data center technologies? on Half of U.S. I.T. Operations Jobs to Vanish · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't really see this happening all that fast. I go through the checkout, and the put my groceries in the bag for me and everything. Why would I go do this myself, when someone else can do it for me?
    Also, I but a lot of fresh items, like fruits, vegetables and breads, and I don't want to have to write down all the codes when someone else can do it for me.
    Finally, I would rather hit on a cute checkout girl then a computer

  15. Spyware on CA's 'Pest Scan' Results Mislead Users · · Score: 1

    I ran this scan before and it said I had a keylogger. Turns out it was something to do with the registration wizard in the Sims 2. Have to say, was a little worried at first, when I saw this!

    Definetely could work either way.

    You actually look at the manual? Are you sure you belong here?

    But you do have 2 and 1/2 kids? That 1/2 kid must be a pain

  19. Re:Sounds great! on Aboriginal Languages Now Easier on the Web · · Score: 1

    That is the problem. There are too many non-profit organiztions, each taking a larger and larger piece of the pie. And what does the average person get? Nothing. If a culture can't support itself, natural selection states that it should die.
    If you want to support this with your own money/time, great for you. I am sick of the government spending money on things that have little/no effect on the populace.

    PS Since you are probably in your 30's or 40's you are probably used to haveing the government spend well beyond their means, and choose to rack up an enormous debt that you will allow younger generations to pay for

    It's easy to make jokes when it's not your tax dollars paying for this

    You are talking about Montreal, not Canada. If you lived here you would understand what I mean

  23. Re:The adventure lies not in the destination... on Car Hacks & Mods for Dummies · · Score: 1

    It's not help keeping the weight on the tires, but if it flips over, it's not going to have a good 1/4 mile time. I am just saying it has this "cheat", so what is the problem with FWD using it, even if they use it differently?

  24. Re:Car annoyances on Car Hacks & Mods for Dummies · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's more Toyota than Pontiac seems like an understatement. When I was talking to a Toyota salesman, he said the only GM part was the stereo. And of course you know car salesmen never lie!
    And I thought it was Yamaha that designed the engine

    Isn't it unfair for the rear wheel cars to have a wheelie bar? It is also stopping the trasnfer of weight around around a different pivot point
