  1. Re:ReplayTV is better on TiVo OS Update Adds Content Protection · · Score: 1

    I don't understand why TiVo is more popular that ReplayTV. It is certainly is not as good.

    Is that you Steve Jobs?

  2. Re:Global Impact on Controlling Hurricanes? · · Score: 1

    Actually, if you just build houses that are actually nuclear subs, you could solve both of his problems, and any other side disputes. Once it floods out, they are ready to plow the oceans for the next one. It would be a self limiting system, becuase once you had enough floating, the others on land would be safe. Of course, the cost of housing may rise slightly, but saftey costs these days.

  3. Re:Quit yer whinin' on Practical Method for Getting Oil from Oil Shale? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Many people here in Europe pay over $5.60 per gallon nowadays. We wish we had $3.00 per gallon prices.

    Yeah, but my SUV only gets a quarter of the mileage your little Peugeot gets. Looking at the real math,

    you pay (US-Gas * 2)
    but (Mileage * 4)

    making my costs per mile DOUBLE yours in Europe. I'm amazed you can't understand why we are complaining.

    Now that I have made it clear, we are paying twice as much as you are.

  4. Re:This is a massively sad event, and we get jokes on 9 Weeks to Pump Out New Orleans? · · Score: 1

    Calm down dude. They don't have power now, so they cant read the jokes on slashdot. It is the circle of life, on display.

  5. Congratulations on Crunching the Math On iTunes · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I would like to congratulate you on proving your parents $120,000.00 was not wasted on drinking at school. You have studied hard, and your thesis shows it. Is that your phone ringing? I think it might be the Nobel commitee calling. Now that the iPod is understood, the world is a safer place.

    (note to mods: yes, it is flamebait, but it is insightful flamebait. Good luck with that)

  6. Dupe!! It's a DUPE! on Vista Launch Good for Desktop Linux? · · Score: 5, Funny

    This story was posted in 1995, 1998, 2000 and 2003. It is a dupe. Nothing to see here.

  7. ZDNet? on 10 Computer Mishaps · · Score: 1

    Remember that time ZDNet got slashdotted, and then you found out that the story was split across multiple pages, because they didn't realize you could just scroll down and get all 10 on one page? Those were the days.

  8. Re:s/GPL/BSD/ on HP Calls For Sun and IBM to Remove OS Licenses · · Score: 1

    As opposed to the GPL's form of forced reverse leeching?

    In english, we call that giving back.

  13. Re:*sigh* on Longhorn to Require Monitor-Based DRM · · Score: 1

    Actually, the lock on my door is to let criminals know that if they open it, they may get shot. It is just a subtle reminder that it is my house, and they are not welcome there.

  14. Ouch on HP Invents A New Way To Print · · Score: 4, Funny

    So now will the whole printer expire instead of just the ink cartridge?

    Maybe you might want to try and sell this over on ZDNet?

    this poor bejamin guy is going to be in jail for quite a long time with all the arrests he's been getting lately.

    Meanwhile, back in America, a Mr. Spackler of the entity Slashdot is suing some stupid Russian woman for $.65, which is the cost of the can of Pepsi I just spat out my nose.

    Yes, Linux still needs to grow up a little.

  19. Re:When did Greenpeace become anti-energy on France Will Be Home To Fusion Plant · · Score: 1

    If that will be too late to stop it, why don't they do something about it? All they need to do is start building wind and solar plants, and start selling the energy! Greenpeace Power Company at your service. Let these self serving dweebs be the man and stick it to themselves.

  20. Sad state of affairs on Windows Users Ignoring LUA Security · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Oh, I'm sorry for installing the system and using it as the default. Please continue to blame the users for paying you for a borderline operating system. It is not an education issue as much as it is a crappy software issue. You should not continue to turn a deaf ear, but I already know you will. Just send out an email that looks like a Phishing email but contains a system lockdown. That way, only the stupid people will click on it, and we can decrease the surplus population on the internet.

  21. Dear John on Dvorak on the LinuxWorld Fracas · · Score: 1

    Dear John,

    Welcome. You are the next crackpot to join the fray. Unfortunately, the entry fee is a bit high. Judging from your article, it is ok to post someones personal information on the internet. So, please reply to this post, with your real address, your mothers address, pictures of your house, your car registration numbers, and pictures of your children. Then you can say that it does not matter.

    Spack.

  22. Re:God pissed at us? on Next Step in Human Evolution · · Score: 1

    Wow, I must have forgotten to add a scorecard to the post.

    It was "funny" to me.
    It was "obtuse" to you.
    It was "troll" to the church.
    It was "troll" to God.

    It was 60% "funny", and 40% "troll" to the mods (the real Gods of this slashdot universe).

    Maybe I should add a sig explaining my views to make it a little easier to decipher.

  23. God pissed at us? on Next Step in Human Evolution · · Score: 2, Funny

    There should be a warning sticker on slashdot stating that evolution is only a theory. You people with your scientific methods, can you not see that there is a perfectly good explanation to it all? What makes you think you have evolved enough to question it? (well, I didn't mean evolved, I mean what makes you think God has granted you enough of a sense of, well not granted, miricaled, yeah, just thought it into being).

    Oh, and I will pray for your souls to have a sense of humor.

    God is great, God is good, let us thank HIM for our food. (see, you would not even have food if God had not willed it out of the ground because photosynthesis does not exist either, and don't even get me started about the lie of everything not revolving around the earth and that Galileo punk. Just because the church apologized didn't mean the church wasn't right because it can't be wrong because the pope is infallible because if he wasn't, my whole religion would be based on lies, so no way, I now can say that I have conclusivly proved that evolution does not exist because the church told me so.)

    Evolution? No.

    It is just like God. You can't actually see it, so just take it on faith that we can see your cards from the light. Let me be the first to holler HOAX, just like God.
