  1. What kind on Theora Codec Ported to Java · · Score: 1

    of cpu/cpu usage do you have? It chokes pretty badly on my B/W G3-400.

  2. Re:1500 channels... on DirecTV Plans 1500 HiDef Channels by End of 2007 · · Score: 1

    So shoot the TV already.

  3. Re:the color on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 1

    I think that any guy who would buy a computer based on the appearance alone is more likely to have a BOYFRIEND in their future.

  4. Re:Yay, Sidewalk SPAM! on Bikes Against Bush Creator Busted · · Score: 1

    If you don't spend time and effort getting rid of spam it willeventually clog up your mailbox. Left alone this crap will wash away with the next rain.

    I agree that this kind of crap is tacky, but the point is that there is no permanence to it and no property has been damaged.

    Would the guy have been arrested if his message was pro Bush? What if it was a right wing christian message? Pro or Anti abortion?

  5. Re:Working Overtime? on Mars Odyssey Begins Overtime · · Score: 4, Funny

    Sounds like the Scotty symdrome.

    --

    Scotty: Do ye mind a little advice? Starfleet captains are like children. They want everything right now, and they want it their way. But the secret is to give only what they need, not what they want!

    LaForge: Yeah, well I told the captain I'd have this analysis done in an hour.

    Scotty: And how long would it really take?

    LaForge: An hour!

    Scotty: Oh, ye didn't tell him how long it would really take, did ye?

    LaForge: Well, of course I did.

    Scotty: Oh, laddie, ye've got a lot to learn if ye want people to think of ye as a miracle worker!

  6. I wonder on Lucas to Make Sequels to Star Wars After All? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    how they are going to work in the Space Pepsi.

  7. Re:I don't see this happening on Speculation About An Apple Tablet · · Score: 1

    As obnoxious as most cell networks are about ringtones I predict 'special' 'vendor requested' firmware versions to force you to have to pay them for anything you can use as a ringtone. Verizon is a good example, they had nokia hack up the pc cuite so that your verison phone wont use non verizon sanctioned (paid for) ring tones.

    bastards.

  8. Rabid Weasles? on BSA Asks Kids to Name Copyright Weasel · · Score: 1

    My god whats next, copyright zombies eating our brains to make sure we dont have a song stuck in them without paying?

  9. Re:Is this really evolution? on Macaque Monkey Goes Totally Bipedal · · Score: 1

    I would think that there could be a slight chance of mutation after birth due to a virus. Of course even that would only seem likely in a male, since sperm are constantly produced whereas the female is born with her eggs already in place. Also I wonder at the odds that a virus borne mutation would make significant changes to an existing organism and be passed on to any offspring. Interesting to consider nonetheless.

  10. I think these are amusing on End Run Around Pop-up Blockers · · Score: 1

    since my squid proxy with adzap cleans the page out. I see a blank page with a click to continue link.

  11. Gee I wonder how many on Robots That Serve Beyond The Vacuum · · Score: 2, Funny

    people here are drooling over the future prospect of the Cherry 2000.

  12. Now all that on 100% Open Source Helix Player 'Alpha' Available · · Score: 4, Funny

    remains for my life to be complete is for Gator to OpenSource their wares.

  13. Re:what was so special to XFree about [19]86 on X.Org Foundation Releases X11R6.7 X Window System · · Score: 1

    Also the 80188 was an available variant of the 80186, which was used in a few (very few) desktop machines.

  14. Re:Would you Open Source /. people make up your mi on Stop! Website Thief! · · Score: 1

    This is not about 'open source' nor is it about DRM. It is about wholesale violation of a person or organizations copyrights. Whether you are Microsoft or gnu.org respect for copyright laws is central to your business model so to speak. Taking ideas from another site is one thing, stealing the whole thing without permission is copyrigth violation.

  15. I have visions of a lottery. on SCO Postpones Lawsuit, Now Threatening Two · · Score: 2, Interesting

    a big chamber with 1000 ping pong balls in it. These of course correspond to the top 1000 linux using companies in the US. Woohoo.

  16. Re:Are you sure these copies are legal? on Suggestions for a DVD Video on Demand System? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Most of the rental stores I have seen end up selling off the older rental dvds. The local blockbuster has several racks of 'pre-viewed' ones for sale.

    I would assume that if there was an issue here that blockbuster would be a big enough target that the MPAA would have stopped it long ago.

  17. I predict on BBC Links Linux To MyDoom · · Score: 0

    the next big worm will launch a DDOS against the BBC!

  18. Re:iPod tunes play on... on Review of Dell's Digital Jukebox · · Score: 1

    Oh come on. I knew a guy that had a whole collection of Traci Lords stuff on beta. If that isn't porn then what is?

  19. Re:Why not just price the Itaniums competitively! on Intel Shifting 64-bit Plans · · Score: 1

    What made x86 widespread was 1. IBM chose the 8088/8086 cpu for the original IBM PC, and 2. the later series of intel cpus maintained compatibility with the 8088/8086. In fact the 80186 was not quite so compatible as later 80x86 cpus, and as such wasnt used in many PC type machines. I only remember them being used in networking boards and the Tandy 2000.

  20. Re:Graffiti isn't art? on Hektor: the Graffiti Robot · · Score: 1

    Some graffiti 'artists' produce very nice work, some produce eyesores. Anyone who places either on property that they dont have permission to do so on is a vandal regardless.

  21. Re:Less people - more oxygen on California Bans Front-Seat Computer Use · · Score: 1

    Without fail everyone I have ever seen driving around with a tv in the front has been in one of the new 'tank-esque' SUVS. When they wreck this 9000 pound monster do you think they are going to be the one being killed? Do you think they should make drinking in cars legal? Hell just print current drinking and driving stats on every beercan and let them choose eh?

  22. Re:Better ideas.. on Former Netscape Executive gives $4000 to AmiZilla · · Score: 1

    Then why the hell don't you go start a fund drive for one of your more 'worthy' projects? Obviously the people who started this, along with the people who have donated wan't it, they are under no obligation to spend their money in whatever way you see fit.

  23. Re:Armadillo is Canadian? on X-Prize Progress Update · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a good deal to me, then canada would have to take dubya as one of their own.
