  1. Re:too much freedom? on Unsung Heroes of Open Source Software? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not for any ideological reason, but simply because RMS doesn't like C++.

    If not liking something is not ideological, I don't know what is.

  2. Re:It's for backbones. on Internet2 Speed Record Broken · · Score: 1

    Think about 20 years into the future, and we might see this kind of speed in our living rooms, especially with super-hi-def video and audio.

  3. Re:Obligatory Quote - The Babel Fish on Both Tea And No Tea - Updated Hitchhiker's Game · · Score: 1

    Maybe I should be clearer. I consider myself part of a modern Lutheran sect...so, uh... i need to stop posting when i'm really tired.

  4. Re:Obligatory Quote - The Babel Fish on Both Tea And No Tea - Updated Hitchhiker's Game · · Score: 1

    Thanks for clearing that up. Now I can be sure that all creationists I know are closed-minded, backwards heathens that are incapable of change.

  5. Re:Obligatory Quote - The Babel Fish on Both Tea And No Tea - Updated Hitchhiker's Game · · Score: 1

    That's interesting, I'm an "original protestant" (lutheran) and yet I believe in evolution, so...heh.

  6. Re:Obligatory Quote - The Babel Fish on Both Tea And No Tea - Updated Hitchhiker's Game · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Maybe you missed the memo, but creationism and evolutionism are not necessarily mutually exclusive. There do exist Christians/Jews/Muslims/etc who believe a mix of both.

  7. MS in bed with RIAA? on Microsoft to Launch Online Music Store · · Score: 1

    "It looks like you're illegally downloading music from a p2p program! Please click a box to continue:"

    [BUY FROM MS] ... [SUMMON RIAA SWAT TEAM]

  8. Re:BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! on Windows Not Expected Secure Until 2011, Says MS · · Score: 1

    The most interesting part of history between Ishmael and Issac is in the Jew's bible. Both of the brothers have feuded since they knew each other.. But once Abraham died, they met back together, realising that their petty war of who was "the one" was meaningless.

    Hmm, if only the radical fundamentalists of the jews/christians/muslims would read this...but of course, the rest of the believers won't try and help them out...

  9. File cabinet on Surviving College With Gear And Sanity Intact? · · Score: 1

    I'll be leaving my first year soon as well, and I picked up a pretty cheap locking file cabinet. I figure if I lock my room door and put valuables in the cabinet, I'll be OK.

  10. Re:Proposed Liberation Militia? on Liberated Games Launches · · Score: 1

    There are already some of these types around the web

  11. Re:Linux needs games! on Liberated Games Launches · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Maybe you haven't seen an Xbox, or are missing Sony's near-monthly announcements about their upcoming hardware, but consoles are going to be doing more than just play games in the future. MP3, video-on-demand, that kind of thing.

  12. Uhh... on 10Gbit to the Home by 2010 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    First, we need hard drives and system buses that can get the data moving at this speed.

  13. Counterfeit merchandise on Grokster Decision Won't Stop RIAA, MPAA Suits · · Score: 1

    If a person buys a shirt/CD/thing at the flea market that happens to be counterfeit or unlicensed, the companies that own the copyright usually won't go after them, but after the seller or distributor, right? Why is it so different now? I've wondered whether a legal defense of "this was available for download, I didn't know it was infringing to get it" would work... Probably not, but it's an interesting thought.

  14. Re:As I understand it... on Verisign's Lawsuit Against ICANN Dismissed · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah yeah ICANN was all like "Yo Veri, take care of my peeps fo a while" and Veri was like "OK holmes", but then veri was like "dag yo, i gots mad power" and ICANN came back and was all up in his face like "OH NO YOU DI-ENT!"

  15. Re:Pretty much the same in Britain... on PG-13 Rating Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    et every time I went to watch a LOTR movie, even in the evening, there were parents doing this very thing.

    I was more perplexed by the parents who brought thier 8-year-old to The Passion.

  16. Copyright Infringement on SCO Says 'Linux Doesn't Exist' · · Score: 1

    Consider the following:

    -Alice releases her hit song "Foo"
    -Two years later, Bob releases his hit song "Bar"
    -"Bar" is a song, and so is "Foo"
    -Alice sues Bob
    -Alice claims "Bar doesn't exist"

    huh?

  17. Re:Relative performance on PlayStation Portable Chip Details · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...[it] does give you a hint that the PSP will have proper, immersive 3D gaming capability...

    At that screen size, the immersiveness will be spectacular.

  18. Re:Wow, looks like they'll need new hardware on The Linux Incompatibility List · · Score: 2, Informative

    Wow, what a great idea!

    Except for the fact that Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedia, not a tech support forum...

  19. Doom on In-Game Advertising Breaks Out · · Score: 1

    "The enemies in this level of Doom are brought to you by CLEARASIL"

  20. Re:Are you kidding? on Always Use Protection · · Score: 1

    I guess I have it easy...my Dad's extremely technophobic, but he runs software update on his mac like every week.

    My brother using my PC box, on the other hand....

  21. Re:too bad... on Yahoo! Not Protected From French Anti-Nazi Laws · · Score: 0, Troll

    ...[take down] all the news pages because it offends China's policy of keeping their populus ignorant?

    I thought that was an American tradition.
