  1. plugins on Nero Burning for Linux · · Score: 1

    A feature I find helpfull are the plugins. They allow drag and drop of FLACs WMAs or just about any other filetype you can think of.

  2. Fighting an uphill battle doc. on Stem Cells Cultivated Free of Animal Contaminants · · Score: 1

    When the prevalent norm in American society is me first, second, and third, you just have to look at many of the replies to your entirely sane post to see that even if stem cell therapy evolves into outright fetus harvesting, people won't give a damn. If stem cells offer the hope of putting hair back on their head or getting rid of the wrinkles, I think any talk of ethics is going to fall on deaf ears. Not to draw too close of an analogy to abortion, but if we as a society have decided that's it's perfectly acceptable to flush kids down the toilet because raising them would be too much of a hassle, why would we even bother with ensuring all credible alternatives to fetal stem cell therapy had been exhausted first?

  3. Paypal on Forbes Lists Top Corporate Hate Web Sites · · Score: 1

    I always found it funny that people were actually willing to give some website their bank account information and let them handle their money. I think suckers are the word I would use to describe them.

  4. How so? on Forbes Lists Top Corporate Hate Web Sites · · Score: 1

    We've got 1000's of Dell PCs. AFAIK when a drive crashes or a MB fails one is overnighted without much grief. I believe Dell is highly regarded for their excellent Tech Support. We don't use their servers, so I can't comment on that side of things.

  5. Blame the Jews. on Militants Planned Attack On Indian Software Firms · · Score: 0, Troll

    From India to Indonesia, from the Netherlands to the Philippines the reason Muslims can't get along with their neighbors is because of Zionist occupied Palestine.

  6. Hmm on U.S. Justice Dept. Chooses Corel over Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Most lawfirms switched around 99. With softsolutions going bye bye and novell going nowhere, the move to MS / PC-DOCS was widespread.

    Many firms doing heavy commercial law work switched earlier.

  7. A lawyer is a Dr. on Best Degree to Pair w/ a B.Sc. in Computer Science? · · Score: 1

  8. Hypochondriacs and malingers on RollerMouse Aims to Replace the Traditional Mouse · · Score: 1

    Engineers are trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist.

  9. So? on Astronauts Face Bleak Odds For Spaceflight · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The space program doesn't exist for their personal egos. There are a heck of a lot of things I'd like to do but will never get the chance, and it doesn't merit a /. story.

  10. Overacted melodramatic tripe. on Galactica Commentary Podcast Available · · Score: 0, Troll

    How can anyone stand these Sci-Fi channel series?

  11. Perhaps they want to move away from KDE? on Bounties for Gnome Optimization · · Score: 1

    This would be a good way of paving the way.

  12. An insult to the slashdot reader. on Is Apple The New Microsoft? · · Score: 1

    Zonk this article is stupid. Why are you wasting our time with it?

  13. Re:Enron and Arthur Andersen on Rambus Patent Claims Dismissed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Lea Fastow, who is actually just 2 blocks down the street from me in the Federal equivalent of county jail, is also serving a sentence for lying. In her case lying on her taxes.

    What would you charge Ken Lay with? How do you prove that Ken Lay or Jeff Skilling engaged in fraud when both their accountants, Aurthur Anderson, and their attorneys, Vinson & Elkins, said the deals were legit?

    It's one thing to say they were poor managers and didn't understand the businesses they were running, but to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they what they did was illegal is a slightly higher hurdle.

  14. Re:A womans place is in the colo on Young Women Encouraged to Go For IT · · Score: 0
  15. How are moons still being found? on Saturn's New Moons Named · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We can see lightyears and lightyears away with Hubble, and other large telescopes. So how is it were still finding moons in the solar system?

  16. FLAC to iPod on Apple Backing Away From FireWire · · Score: 1

    Convert from FLAC to lossless WMA with DMC. Then import into iTunes with Lossless Apple Codec selected. Voila. lossless from FLAC>iPod.

  17. Amen brother. on Should the UN Replace ICANN? · · Score: 1

    Or sister, watever the case may be. It was built by US for US. We let the rest of you use it because it so suits us. There is 0 chance of us giving up control of the Internets.

  18. $80/bbl on AgroWaste to Oil a Growing Market · · Score: 1

    Why would the price spike like that?

    Google up on "Hotelling model" and "optimal depletion path"

    If the price spikes then the oil cartel was only screwing themselves all along, and I don't see them as the type to do many favors.

  19. Because they are in an economic war with the US on France National Library Attacks Google Book Effort · · Score: 0, Troll

    They try to sue Microsoft into oblivion. They subsidize Airbus so that it can compete with Boeing.

    It's pretty obvious.

    What's wrong with the men out there?

  21. But Richard Clarke was such a smart guy... on U.S. Agencies Earn D+ on Computer Security · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm sure he put excellent policies and procedures in place. This must be Bush's fault!

    Back in 98 Clarke was telling people that Cyberterrorism was America's biggest threat.

  23. Or it could have been that.... on Richard Clarke on Microsoft security · · Score: 0

    a bunch of practicioners of the religion of peace flew airliners into the World Trade Center while he was busy telling everyone that the biggest threat America faced was cyberterrorism?

  24. So no HDTV? on AMD's New Low-Power CPUs · · Score: 1

    Hmm. 1998 is calling, it wants its CPU back.

  25. Right! on California Wants GPS Tracking Device in Every Car · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Drivers of overweight, inefficient SUVs deserve whatever they get.

    Overweight and inefficient for what? My Suburban is just the right size for running over fags in their Le Cars.
