  1. the pirate bay on EU Considering Regulating Sale of Violent Games · · Score: 1

    So does this mean that the Pirate Bay will have to make a minors game division ?

  2. Re:Is it any easier to replace Apple's search? on Microsoft May Be Investigated By Attorneys General · · Score: 1

    Antitrust 101: Apple is not a monopolist and therefore not blocked from selling you product A's related product B bundled without also giving the possibility to buy product A alone.

  3. Re:Suggested Improvement on Patent Office Program To Speed Computer Tech · · Score: 1

    Lemme see, the hardware version, the source code and the binary of the soft version should all arguably be protected by COPYRIGHT, but no, you should not patent the algorithm. Especially when the data stream produced/processable is used in interworking with other systems

  4. Re:$100 for 2GB --- absolutely on Digital Camera Memory Card With Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    How about 1) using the camera as a reader so you don't have to remove the card nor own a card reader 2) buy a 8GB card for that price that will make swapping of cards unnecessary

  5. Re:I'd give this thing at least 6 months in the wi on iPhone Release Date Is June 29 · · Score: 1

    Dialing from the top of your head is the quickest way to call someone. It will stay that way.

    Speed dial sucks, it can only hold a few values.

    Adress book dial sucks, you don't do any less keypresses than with number dialing. It's a matter of entropy.

  6. LOL Mariana on Wreck of Australian Warship HMAS Sydney Found? · · Score: 1

    Please, half of these comments are "16km lol, deepest point is only 11km deep". How the hell is a theoretical limit ridiculously high when it is higher than the naturally observed limit ?

  7. Re:This story need a car analogy on Launch Date Announced for Shuttle Mission STS-117 · · Score: 0, Troll

    ...And only ignorant americans call it Bastille Day

  8. Re:Genius yoyoq!!! on Sci-fi Writers Join War on Terror · · Score: 1

    Before 9/11, if your plane got hijacked, you'd likely have to fly to Cuba or somewhere, unload the terrorists, and then sit around until someone negotiated you out of there
    Those muslims put legitimate pop and mom terrorists out of business !
  9. Re:Then attack would be carried out differently on Sci-fi Writers Join War on Terror · · Score: 1

    is because Israel is a little democratic island in a sea of theocracy.
    As much a democracy as Athens was I guess...
  10. this is a call on Does Wikipedia Suck on Science Stories? · · Score: 1

    This is a call to slashdot editors.

    Slashdot is news for nerds. Please stop dumbing down technical terms for us, we have mainstream press for that. Please reject dumbed down summaries.

    Stop talking about "microchips" and "rocket scientists", please talk about ICs and aerospace engineers.

  11. Re:Why only Scientology? on Surprise Arrest For Online Scientology Critic · · Score: 1

    Name one other religion that refuses to open its documents so someone can look at them WITHOUT you having to pay to see them.

    They click "Deny" but they mean "Accept"...

  15. Re:What about the oxygen? on First Successful Demonstration of CO2 Capture Technology · · Score: 1

    Well, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is rather small (2%? something like that)
    2% would kill you. More like 0.038%...
  16. Re:Didn't Aesop say something about that? on Browser Wars Declared Over? · · Score: 1

    Donkeys don't hunt: they don't eat meat. Or is YOUR ass getting meat sometimes?

    ...it's a big country...

  18. they ARE more evolved on Chimps Evolved More Than Humans · · Score: 1

    They spend their days eating bananas, having sex with everyone and climbing trees, and they get away with it. They ARE more evolved.

  19. Re:Sound quality. on Return of the Vinyl Album · · Score: 1

    Why should the expensive tube amps be generating the distortions you find so enjoyable ? If they are so enjoyable, don't you think the sound engineer in the studio would have placed them for the 98% of people that don't have an elitist sound system ?

  20. Re:You've got to admit though on Sri Lankan Terrorists Hack Satellite · · Score: 1

    You are spoiled. In my time, we had to hijack terrestrial mast transmitters and send our messages barefoot both in Tx and Rx. And we were happy!

  21. Re:Will anyone gain anything from this? Not Linux on The End is Nigh for XP · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Oh great, so I'll change this to "runs as many games as a Mac in the days before Parallels and the move to Intel".

    Come to think of Parallels, why should we stick to fucking Wine (MS Libs ersatz) when we could use the original MS libraries on top of Linux, like parallels does with Macs.

  22. Re:Here's the logic... on Transgaming Introduces Cedega 6.0 · · Score: 1

    It's called a fucking Suzuki Swift. Fuck your Sega Genesis too by the way, it's a Megadrive. And you can shove your fucking Twixes up your asses, I want my Raiders back.

  23. Re:Will anyone gain anything from this? Not Linux on The End is Nigh for XP · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, I'm a huge fan of windows, but Ubuntu amazed me the first time I used it. There is simply no comparison between this and windows in terms of ease of use, and that's only going to improve. Plus the damn thing's more secure anyway. I'm not running firewall or AV software on my linux box, it simply doesn't need it.
    and it's still useless as a home computer as it does not run a decent video editing software or videogames.
  24. Re:Try 2 months... on In EU, Internet Use From Work May Be Protected · · Score: 1

    The iPhone will take more time to become popular than the iPod did

  25. In 5 years this will all be solved... on In EU, Internet Use From Work May Be Protected · · Score: 1
