  1. Re:And for new users? on Closed Gnutella System to Prevent Bandwidth Hogs · · Score: 1

    Get your actual cds or records out (you own them, right?). Rip them. Allow access to them.

  2. Re:OT: Re:A few thoughts on P2P on Closed Gnutella System to Prevent Bandwidth Hogs · · Score: 1

    What if everyone were to defend themselves?

  3. Re:Someone was bored on The Golden Age of Cup Manufacturing · · Score: 1

    You think it's bad for you? I'm 17 and I'm a cynical and jaded person who's upset with the present and fears the future.

  4. Re:This is good on Governmental ID System in Japan · · Score: 1

    How does the ID system handle immigration?

  5. Re:Sorry, but your maths is terrible! on High Definition DVD · · Score: 1

    I assumed 33 1/3 as that is more or less standard for an album.

    I guess many albums fall short of the 48 minutes... I wonder why. And the songs being 3.5 minutes, the number of songs has nothing to do with that. Where does 10 come from? Is that just what most people put on an album? Why?

    In thrash and hardcore, which I listen to a lot, the songs often run about 1:30; the albums still hover around 30:00.

  6. Re:It's a pitty.. on The Continuing Death of Pinball · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I don't go to many bars as I am not of age.

  7. Re:Karma-dropping on All We Want Is Whatever's On Your Machine · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Do you browse at low scores?

    Because, otherwise, all you'll see are the high-scored ones.

  8. Re:It's a pitty.. on The Continuing Death of Pinball · · Score: 1

    Well, we're familiar with it as "fussball" (German?), but they're not very common. In Minneapolis, with a wonderful public park system (and each has a main building for kids), they're in a lot of the buildings.

    Occaisionally you'll see one in a fancy bar or in a wealthy person's basement.

    I hope pool never gets unpopular.

  9. Re:Sorry, but your maths is terrible! on High Definition DVD · · Score: 1

    Also, most albums run only 30 to 40 minutes, the rough capacity of 12" vinyl (I think); and people are used to that album length.

  10. Re:Not a collectivist rant on Reclaiming the Commons · · Score: 1

    I'll try to explain a little simpler.

    Sharing: it only leads to killing.

    Kindergarten teachers are taking orders from the godless Kremlin to subvert our youth.

  11. Re:Air, Medicine, Food, Water, Knowledge on Reclaiming the Commons · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, river water, that'll keep you alive.
    Especially since most people live in cities. The Mississippi is so tainted in Minneapolis, and that's near the start of the river. ew.

  12. Re:Ocean levels? on Earth's Gravitational Field Is Getting Flatter · · Score: 1

    "acceleration" implies positive by default.

  13. Re:Why do we really need DJ's? on DJs Spinning Those Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    Those don't exist...

    There are live acts and whatnot... but I've never seen a dj with such.

    Especially that a DJ in the mixing sense wouldn't quite work.

  14. Re:What's with insulting "Dubya" talk? on U.S. Computer Security Advisor Encourages Hackers · · Score: 1

    The editor does. It's hard to keep from contempt when you are disgusted with Bush's policies.

  15. Re:Why do we really need DJ's? on DJs Spinning Those Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    What the hell is a punk club?

  16. Re:What about land mines? on U.S. Developing 100-Kilowatt Laser for Strike Fighters · · Score: 1

    Great!
    Now we can clean up after our own messes!

  17. Re:Inhumane Weapons on U.S. Developing 100-Kilowatt Laser for Strike Fighters · · Score: 1

    The United States and the Nazis both treated their respective prisoners from the US and Germany prisoners relatively well. (the Germans did not do so with the Soviets; the Soviets reciprocated, but the US soldiers were treated more or less with respect)

  18. Re:Boycott MPAA: See the movies cheap! on MPAA Requests Immunity to Commit Cyber-Crimes · · Score: 1

    Either way, the theater should learn to have other movies. If they don't, screw 'em.

  19. Re:Boycott MPAA: See the movies cheap! on MPAA Requests Immunity to Commit Cyber-Crimes · · Score: 1

    WHY give them any money at all? To never give them anything would be far more effective than to have 50 slashdotters wait two weeks before caving in and giving them money.

    There's plenty of good cinema that's not supporting the MPAA. It's not hard to find.

  20. Re:Boycot for me on MPAA Requests Immunity to Commit Cyber-Crimes · · Score: 1

    Better yet, buy non-RIAA music, non-MPAA movies, etc. It's not music's fault, it's not film's fault.

    It's the monopolizers' faults.

  21. Re:Oh I get it....BOYCOTT TIME on MPAA Requests Immunity to Commit Cyber-Crimes · · Score: 1

    Or better yet, a boycott of shitty music. And shitty business practices. And shitty anything. Don't give money to shit.

    For the rest of your life.

    I'm on my 17th year of it. =)

  22. Re:Sniff :| on AOL Won't Enable Instant Messaging Interoperability · · Score: 1

    Worst mod up EVER!

    Really, who wasted points on this?

    I hope I get to metamod this.

  23. Re:Quick, before it's too late on A Rock Moves In Space · · Score: 1

    I'd say he was kidding, and you missed it.

  24. ok, ok, I have an *important* question here... on Panicking In Morse Code · · Score: 0

    Can I hack it and say "4ll y0uR k3rn3l 4r3 b3l0ng t0 u5"?

  25. Re:The Heat on 100th Anniversary of Air Conditioning · · Score: 1

    On extreme days, I turn on the humidifier, but it's noisy so only when I really need it.
