  1. Re:slashdot on ATi's New All-In-Wonder Radeon 8500 128MB · · Score: 1

    that advertisement(flash) errored for me when trying to resolve due to editing hosts file :)

    try here-> a huge hosts file to help stop ads from appearing

  2. Re:Sheryl Crow on The Culture of CD Burning · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The cries are getting louder from many artists and record companies. Sheryl Crow calls it ''shoplifting.''

    She's jumping on a bandwagon which includes the RIAA. How is that a rebel? It's like saying a citizen in the Colonies that decided to help the English is a rebel. She isn't a rebel in any way, shape, or form -- she's siding with the record industry.

  3. Re:Gee, Thanks on The Lone Gunmen Are Dead · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    In an astounding move after the cancellation of the show, Chris Carter killed off the Lone Gunmen in tonight's episode of the X-Files

    If you stop reading after this, you still need to see how and why it happens; maybe a spoiler, but not enough to ruin.
    If it's ruined, it's only because you continued to read, which is your fault and no one elses.

  4. Re:I need a lesson in social studies... on Review: The Rock as a Hard Place · · Score: 5, Informative

    it was spelled wrong originally; Katz changed it after realizing his mistake

  5. bleh on Spriggan Released On DVD · · Score: 0

    mark me as a troll, but is this really newsworthy?

  6. first result when search google for 'DMCA' is... on Google Publicizes DMCA Takedowns · · Score: 4, Interesting
  7. smooth on L.A. Times on Game Reviewer 'Playola' · · Score: 2, Funny

    gotta love the extension used by that URL

    .story

  8. Re:GBA.battle.net on GameBoy Web Server · · Score: 1

    i'd like to see world peace, end to suffering and hunger, blah blah blah.

  9. Re:Realism. on Is Realism Destroying Video Games? · · Score: 1

    yeah, that's what i was talking about too

  10. Re:Realism. on Is Realism Destroying Video Games? · · Score: 1

    except those games aren't realistic

    quasi-realistic, yeah, but don't get too enamored.

  11. don't bother on Globalism Post 9/11 · · Score: 1

    When replying to this editorial, the actual text of it doesn't matter.

    After all, it's written by Jon Katz!

    *Globalism, sounds interesting... oh wait, it's Katz, better just skip down and start flaming*

  12. Re:Excellent point. on MPAA Finds First Actual DVD Copiers in U.S. · · Score: 1

    is it possible to ever secure mass media from reproduction?

    NO

  13. Re:Digital copies. on MPAA Finds First Actual DVD Copiers in U.S. · · Score: 1

    no, it's a digital copy of the original media, where the original media is just like you'd buy at a store.

    maybe i'm mistaken, though.

  14. it'll be abandoned on Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos · · Score: 1

    i'm boycotting this simply because of blizzards past history of abandoning games after they've made their money.
    see the problems in diablo2 which hardly get addressed in the following:

    hacking of 'secure' realms

    big rant

    Essentially Blizzard made Diablo 2, got money, said "fuck you" to the consumers of it, and abandoned it.

  15. wouldn't it have been better... on 16th IOCCC Winners Announced · · Score: 1

    to not post this until source was released?

  16. Re:Umm...what about the Native Americans on Chinese Explorers 'Discovered America'? · · Score: 1

    It would seem to me that 'discover' is used in reference to the OLD WORLD 'discover'ing what would become the NEW WORLD, not showing who was the first there. I think you knew that, and it was quite predictable what your post would (mistakenly) and ignorantly state. You are wrong.

    Oi, and I think possibly the Native Americans: attacked Europeans, had wars between themselves, and by the sources I think to be reliable did not have a population relatively equal to Europe in the 19th century.

  17. cuecat on Slashback: Playstation, CueCat, Games · · Score: 2, Insightful

    why not just give them away, or throw away?

    *destroy* seems like overkill, explain please

  18. wow on Esoteric Programming Languages · · Score: -1, Troll

    this isn't news, it doesn't matter!

  19. gah on New Financing And Fewer Staff @ SuSE · · Score: 1

    No one 'deserves' to survive. It's capitalism, sell your product, make money, or go bankrupt.

  20. Re:Err... Spelling fun time! on Tivo Announces Dual Tuner Upgrade · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    but you need to do a s/ perl replacement, otherwise you aren't elite!

  21. uh.. just one question.. on IBM Running Linux On Secure Hardware · · Score: 1

    since when do 'totally secure environments' exist? oh right..

    they don't!

  22. heh on Borders Nixes Face Recognition · · Score: 2, Funny

    what bigwig at borders actually thought this was a good idea and that the public wouldn't be pissed?

    how stupid can people be..

  23. diablo2 economy.. on The Economy of Everquest · · Score: 1

    i dunno about everquest, but in diablo 2 the economy is not gold pieces as the game uses (in multiplayer) but 'Stones of Jordan' or SoJs, the best and rarest rings in the game (18-24 all elemental resistance i believe). 4-5 SoJs might net a great item, mainly because they can be used to create others and are so powerful by themselves.

  24. MSN under *NIX on Your Qwest Leads To MSN · · Score: 1

    Zero mention, of course, is made of Linux or BSD

    for dialup, you simply change your loginname to MSN\loginnanme and you can use dialup.

  25. Re:problems on Microsoft Releases Windows CE 3.0 Source · · Score: 1

    yes, i agree security through obscurity doesn't work. open source works because you can fix the problems, but in microsofts case i don't think the problems will be fixed in a timely manner
