  1. Re:True, but... on Valve's Gabe Newell On Piracy: It's Not a Pricing Problem · · Score: 2

    Stop whining about price. If you don't want to pay $60, then wait a few months or a year and buy it for $19.99.

  2. Re:Explanation of the joke on Interesting Concepts in Search Engines · · Score: 1

    I don't think the poster was referring to the Super Bowl Commercial. 6 degrees to Kevin Bacon is a popular game that's been around a while. Basically, an actor/actress is picked and then in 6 steps or less a path has to be found to Kevin Bacon. This is of course, the reason behind the Super Bowl Commercial, however.

    My girlfriend has been playing this every once in a while for years.

  3. Re:Remove it easily on Spyware in Audio Galaxy · · Score: 2, Informative

    I found VX2.dll in C:\WINNT (running win2k) but I couldn't delete it
    so I proceeded to follow the registry key deletion outlined above but couldn't find such an entry at the given path.

    So, an easier way for everyone, would be to search for "00000000-5eb9-11d5-9d45-009027c14662" and delete the result.
    That's what I did and then deleting VX2.dll was possible.

    Just letting those of you stumped know :)

  4. Re:slightly off topic: Try before buy on Rent A Downloadable Movie · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So in a couple of years an internet download /will/ be a substitute for the big screen, and the only question left will be are people paying for downloads or not?

    huh? In a couple years I'll have a giant screen with an awesome sound system in my house? People go back to theaters and see re-releases of movies all the time. Why? Because of the whole theater environment and that experience. The fact that downloading and the format of the movie, etc, will improve over the years doesn't really make much difference.

  5. Re:I Hate New Years.. on Slashdot Readers Write The History Of The Future · · Score: 2

    I was actually going to write a post composed of the exact things this guy said. Alas, I was too late, as this AC already said them! So, I agree with this AC 100%, and you should take what he said into account. Well whatever, I'll say a bit to corroborate what the above poster believes: I was also quite like you...nice, caring, whatever and then I did start concentrating more on myself also....I stopped *trying* so hard and just did things more for myself. Shortly after, I had a few of my previous female acquaintances become interested in me. So, I think girls are more initially attracted to guys who are more confident and not such a "nice guy". Tho I'm not saying be a horrible ass, but be more selfish...learn to live and enjoy your own life. I guess this all has to happen through personal growth and experiences or whatever, so I doubt reading these posts are going to change your whole outlook and attitude. But, it's something to keep in mind as it can't hurt!
