  1. Your other reason is *WRONG* on RIAA Now Targeting Retailers · · Score: 1

    You say "Another obvious reason is defective merchandise." This is not a reason for the ID check to be required by law, but rather could only be passed off as a reason for the ID check to be required by the store.

  2. Re:Conglomeration on EA As The Next Disney · · Score: 1

    you consider command and conquer: renegades a RTS? wtf

  3. Re:Quantum Mechanically Speaking, on 100th Anniversary of Quantum Physics · · Score: 1

    Probaly a lot greater than the probability of it happening to your lame ass post.

  4. Re:MMORPG on LucasArts Embraces Game Mod Community · · Score: 1

    2million+/month: profits or revenue?

  5. Re:Wait At Least 10 Business Days to Be More Sure. on MacAddict Tracks Down eBay Scam Artist · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Federal felony. Had I the points I'd mod you redundant.

  6. Re:I swear to god on One Answer To Spam: Sell Your Interruption Time · · Score: 1

    I agree, I've read it on here too, about half a year ago, maybe less. Searching for it with slashdot's search function is futile...there are tons of articles on spam... but I'me sure a little google with site:slashdot.com would work wonders.

  7. Re:Well ... what is it? on A Much Bigger Piece Of Pi · · Score: 1

    the data for pi would be very hard to compress (unless you simply recalculated it on the fly, but thats not really compression)

  8. Re:5 years? You are an optimist on HOWTO: Annoy a Spammer · · Score: 1

    as we are talking about mail-fraud and not normal fraud, unless those pizzas were delivered to his mailbox by the mailman, no

  9. Re:AOL, GM and FORD on HP Wants Manufacturers To Bear PC Disposal Costs · · Score: 1

    Bullshit, the costs will be shared by the producer and the consumer. See here, my handy graph. Note that raising the costs artifcially through a tax or fee does not affect demand directly, only supply.

  10. Re:Bass on Keeping Balance with Vibrating Shoes · · Score: 0, Troll

    not with all the banana picking they do! And for heaven's sake the cheese! Mod me funny too! I am funny too!

  11. Re:xbox live launched and no mention on Slashdot on Linux Kernel Bugzilla Launched · · Score: 1

    You'd think even you would know the meaning of troll, especially since you are making a post about them.

  12. Re:No big suprise here... on Antibiotic Resistant Staph Infections · · Score: 1

    Antibiotics are NOT added to hand soap. That is, if you are talking about over the counter, "antibacterial soap." You need to understand that there is a difference between antibiotic and antibacterial. Antibacterial can be anything that kills bacteria, the stuff used in over the counter soap is just a disinfectant.

  13. Re:Showscan on Slashback: ClonesMAX, Animation, Dislaimers · · Score: 1

    Yeah, you won't have to buy special equipment to get the effect. Yeah. Standard TVs are only 29.whatever fps, you putz. Using image morphing won't do anything to help this. The only useful place this would be is on a computer monitor or something.

  14. Re:Crooks on ICANN Ditches Public Participation · · Score: 1

    Too bad you can't say the same about the US, when asked the same question (ICANN replaced with USA).

  15. Re:How's it look. on 'Computer-On-Glass' Display · · Score: 1

    Laptop screens usually look like shit when viewed from different angles. The color balance and brightness gets all fucked up.

  16. Re:Not quite a planet, eh? on Earth's Little Brother Found · · Score: 1

    Think of orbits as though the object were constantly falling. The difference is, the direction in which they are falling is constantly changing.. at a rate that allows it to never lose or gain distance. Anyway, if you think of it as constant falling, you can see how Galileo's experiment with the wooden and metal bowling ball prooves that the planets would orbit at the same speed.

  17. Re:Highway funds only persuasive to some states on The Free State Project · · Score: 1

    Oh, you just have to pay for the freedom so you still have it, right? What if people had to pay for the right to free speech? They would still have it, they would just have to ask "How much is your freedom worth to [me]?" Yeah, I got a better idea, why don't you shut teh fuck up.

  18. Re:so what? on RandR Support on XFree86 4.3 · · Score: 1

    This has been used for a while in the linux distributions for the ipaq. You can use it to use the ipaq in portrait or landscape mode. Fucking helps me a lot.

  19. Re:Humanitarian aid on One Million AOL discs to be returned to AOL · · Score: 1

    Or the Beatles!!!

  20. Re:More than one viewer? on Next Generation of Holographic Images · · Score: 1

    I'll agree that both people would get a 3d view from this, but both people would also see "ghosting" from the other person's view. Unless you are suggesting shutter glasses be used(if they are.. there is not much point in using this instead of a traditional display to show 3d,and how would eye movement be difficult to track with shutter glasses on.)

  21. Re:More than one viewer? on Next Generation of Holographic Images · · Score: 1

    actually.. no it doesn't. This thing utilizes a camera that tracts the users eye movements.. viewed by someone standying near by it will look like a garbled, ghosted, 2d mess

  22. Re:Standards anyone ? on Creating Applications with Mozilla · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Ugg you got modded insightful. I better clarify before I get modded down:

    This article is about the mozilla application framework. The application can be a stand alone application! This is not some kind of "mozilla only webpage."! This is just a method for creating an application that uses parts of the mozilla codebase, or more appropriately (though you and the mdos don't seem to understand the meaning of this) the mozilla application framework.

  23. Re:Standards anyone ? on Creating Applications with Mozilla · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Please. READ THE ARTICLE BEFORE POSTING. Why can't slashdot at least implement a timer that doesn't allow people to post based on the byte size of the slashdot article itself. I know this wouldn't solve the problem for articles that link outside slashdot but it would be a start.

    Yes, it may cause a huge queue of people waiting to get first post when the timer runs down but this could be solved by adding a bit of randomness on a user level to the amount of time it would take to be allowed to post.

    you aren't very good at picking up sarcasm are you?

    Such as:

    Zoom out to get legible fonts? Yeah.
