  1. Re:Rocketry and the law on Rocket Guy Getting Closer - But No Firm Launch Date · · Score: 1

    Um, if he's going to be on it, I'd figure he'd steer it.

  2. Re:Jack Valenti-Interesting Coincidence??? on Director Attacks MPAA Piracy Claims · · Score: 2, Funny

    Could this mean that the MPAA has something to do with the Kennedy assassination?
    Not to start any rumors or anything like that.......

  3. Direct beaming on Director Attacks MPAA Piracy Claims · · Score: 1

    In the second article, he writes: "However, once the new technology is installed, Corelli will be beamed direct to screen one for the duration of its scheduled run, and will play to empty houses"

    Could someone explain to me where he gets the idea that all movies will be directly beamed to the theaters at run-time?

    I've always heard that the movies get shot in to mult-gigabyte hard drives.

  4. Re:After GMR and EMR, what's next? on Terrabit Per-Square-Inch Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    I presume the ludicrous magnetoresistive drive would run at ludicrous speed.......

    (The above comment is supposed to be a funny reference to Spaceballs The Movie.)

  5. Re:Big Deal on An Offer Tivo Owners Can't Refuse · · Score: 1

    Still, then, shouldn't you be talking to your children instead of the Tivo people?
    Just because you didn't record it doesn't mean they didn't record it...
    They could have guessed Daddy's passcode for the parental controls.

  6. Re:They want to break 3rd party apps? on XP Service Pack Does the Impossible · · Score: 1

    If the code is still there, developers could take advantage of it over other middleware, they charge

    Are those critics trying to imply that developers shouldn't be ALLOWED to use Microsoft's code even if they want to? If so, then they're no better than Microsoft. Blocking Microsoft's code for the sake of third-party software is no better than blocking 3rd-party code for the sake of Microsoft's software.
  7. Storage+ on New "SQLsnake" Microsoft Worm · · Score: 1

    Windows Longhorn is going to run a a database file system, isn't it?
    That database is probably going to be powered by SQL Server, right?
    Oh well...I guess SQL Server will eventually join Outlook/OE as the most exploited software ever made.

  8. l33t h4x0rs on Techies and Trekkies Unite! · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    How long before someone 0wns the convention server system?

  9. Re:certainly will reduce the amount of warez insta on Microsoft vs. Northwest Schools Part III · · Score: 1

    Not necessairly....Give WINE/WineX a few years and it'll be easy to throw Windoze warez on a Linux box. The kids who have enough knowledge to find out what warez is probably have enough skill to learn how to use WINE.

  10. Re:Thumbs down on "The Sims" Online, and on the PS2 · · Score: 1

    So, for your average /. reader, could The Sims be a game that convinces the ladies that geekiness isn't to be avoided after all?

  11. Re:Hmm... on The Truth Revealed · · Score: 1

    Hope...dates...a show for geeks.
    Mabye the real message is that even /.-reading X-Files-watching geeks can actually get women.

  12. Re:More movies? on The Truth Revealed · · Score: 1

    X-Files: A New Hope......2 things:
    First, as far as trademakr law goes, wouldn't that be a little too similar name-wise to another certain movie that all Slashdotters know of?
    Second, if it starts with any sort of opening text, I'll probably run from the room screaming.

  13. Re:The series finale was pretty good. on The Truth Revealed · · Score: 1
    How about The X-Files Episode II: Attack of the Alien Clones?

    Yes, I know......

    :p

  14. Re:E = m c ^2 , "one line of code" on The Universe in 4 Lines of Code? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, you're right.
    Oh well.
    Yet another thing inadvertently reversed by me.
    /me goes back to grumbling about math test and reversed + and - in equations.

  15. Re:E = m c ^2 , "one line of code" on The Universe in 4 Lines of Code? · · Score: 1

    Well, the one line of code could be

  16. Re:Evil will always win... on The Case for the Empire · · Score: 1

    Doh. For those of you with sigs hidden, here's my sig:
    "Evil will always triumph because good is dumb." -- Dark Helmet

  17. Re:Evil will always win... on The Case for the Empire · · Score: 1

    Look at my sig for the exact wording of that quote by the great and mighty Dark Helmet.

  18. Re:Copyright infringement on Slashback: Towel, Linkage, Drafthouse · · Score: 1

    Um, just HTTP content or could FTP content be covered as well? Like a situation where a company forgets to block anonymous access to a directory on their FTP server?

  19. Interesting on The Magic Box Hoax · · Score: 2

    It's been 9 days since this story hit. Today I got a package in the mail from my mother --- in it was a copy of the article and a note. Turns out that she actually taught Madison in high school.

  20. Re:It is. on Matrox Parhelia 512 Preview · · Score: 1

    "...monitors have very limited brightness compared to the normal sunlit world..."

    Sunlit world? What's that?

  21. Re:Parhelia Shots : Come and get'em here.. on Matrox Parhelia 512 Preview · · Score: 1

    My Athlon (yes an AMD Athlon) has a smaller heatsink.
    Then again, it's running at 52 deg Celsius right now.

  22. Re:Episode 2 CD (Jango Fett cover+Bonus Track) on Post-it Notes vs. Copy-Inhibited CDs · · Score: 1

    Mabye it is only the European edition.
    A lack of copy protection would be keeping in sync with what I've seen from the gaming side of Lucas's world. I have yet to run across a LucasArts product that uses copy protection.

  23. Episode 2 CD (Jango Fett cover+Bonus Track) on Post-it Notes vs. Copy-Inhibited CDs · · Score: 1

    TDK veloCD 8x/4x/32x --- running fine.
    dbPowerAmp on Windows XP is chugging away.

  24. Re:inaccuracy... on Music Meets Steganography · · Score: 1

    So that's what that demonic picture originally was.

    It wasn't that they were misreading the original picture; it was that they were looking at it through a MP3.

    (BTW, shouldn't you have said Hilary Rosen?)

  25. Apache, BMW edition on Computers and Cars: A Maddening Experience? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So how long before someone slaps Embedded Linux + Apache on, hooks it to a cellphone, and lets the world log in?

    If that happened, what would a Slashdotting do to the car?
