  1. Lucas and his forced parallels on Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith · · Score: 1

    Lucas seams to be forcing the prequeals to be similar to the orginal movies. Too much so for my liking. After all, the title for Return of the Jedi was originally Revenge of the Jedi, but was changed later. There was even a trailer produced under that title.

  2. Finally on IBM's Blue Gene powered by Linux · · Score: 1

    Finally, they'll have a way of predicting the next SCO legal argument! With all that's going on now, I think we need a supercomputer to find out what sort of legalese SCO will dement next.

  3. Re:Choosing Microsoft Products May Cost 10-40% Mor on Choosing Microsoft Products May Cost 10-40% More · · Score: 1, Informative

    The purchase price is just one part of TCO.

  4. Good ol' Nasa on Shuttle May Fly Again In '04 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I can't wait to see what happens to Nasa if China starts a new space race.

  5. Woohoo Toronto on Network Blackout · · Score: 2, Interesting

    All that power outage, and not a single network outage. Woohoo!

  6. RMS on RMS on SCO, Distributions, DRM · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I think you are all mistaken here. It should be GNU/RMS, shouldn't it?

  7. RotK on Shuttle Set for Launch on Dec 18th, Says NASA · · Score: 4, Funny

    Dec 18, LotR: RotK, or the shuttle.

    Guess which I'm more excited about. :D

  8. Windows On Mars on Window on Mars - Can Orobes Dig Out More Info? · · Score: 2, Funny

    So this is what all the crashed probes were running.

  9. Good thing MS is killing DOS in december on DOS Attacks On DNS Provider · · Score: 5, Funny

    Good thing MS is killing DOS in december. It's way
    too violent these days.

  10. Re:corporations and "lifespan" on Copyright and Copy Rights · · Score: 1

    How about this.
    First 5 years of a copyright is free.
    To extend it another 5 years costs 50 dollars.
    Every 5 year extension after that costs ten fold.

    Pretty soon it'd get too expensive to extend it.

  11. Re:Never on Microsoft's New Hurdles · · Score: 1

    The headline (I never read the article) said they'd give away windows for free. They did not mention that they'd open the source.

  12. Re:Hate to Burst their bubble on BBC Interviews Linus Torvalds · · Score: 1

    My point is Linux by itself is a kernel, not an operating system.

    Linux and bash is an operating system. Linuxh and tsch is an operating system. Linux needs to be coupled with something else to be an operating system.

  13. Re:Hate to Burst their bubble on BBC Interviews Linus Torvalds · · Score: 1

    I stand corrected.

    Linux by itself does alot, but it doesn't allow the end user do his job.

    Linux coupled with GNU tools does alot. I don't go around saying GNU/Linux all the time, but they do have a point.

  14. Hate to Burst their bubble on BBC Interviews Linus Torvalds · · Score: 3, Informative

    but Linux is not an Operating System. It's a kernel.

    Linux by itself doesn't do much.

  15. Taxis? on Battery-Powered Plane Taxis, Set To Fly Soon · · Score: 1

    What will hailing these cabs in New York be like?

  16. Re:I think you meant on Human Markup Language · · Score: 2, Funny

    That is the comment I was going to use. Oh well, I suppose I'll have the come up with another funny comment. hmmm....

  19. DeCSS on Why the World Needs Reverse Engineering · · Score: 1

    With all this talk about the DMCA I'm reminded
    of DeCSS. I know the DCMA is only for the US, but
    is there a similiar law in Canada which also makes
    DeCSS illegal in Canada as well?

    Why whine about the lawyers. If theyh keep on dragging this out we might be lucky enough that they'll bankrupt MS.

  22. Idea Patents! on Publishing On Internet Patented · · Score: 1

    Isn't having a software patent like having an idea patent?

  23. IPs on ZapStation CD/MP3/DVD Player/Server · · Score: 1

    If this is using a internet connection than
    ip more than likely needs an ip unless masquerading is taking affect. Is there a statistic on how many ips there are for use, and what percentage of that is free?

  24. Lower Performance on Crusoe vs. Dell And Compaq · · Score: 2

    Should Dell be wooried about the performance? Laptops have less power than desktops, but that is the price you pay for portability. However, on the other hand people still want the most bang for thier buck. Just the same I don't know of anyone who does any serious heavy computing on a laptop.

  25. Why Not on New TLDs On The Way From ICANN · · Score: 1

    If it makes them happy then let them do it. As for me I simply don't care.

    Let them name their sites whatever. They still got to get peoples attention. I'd rather stick with numbers, afterall, who can forget that /. is really 64.28.67.48?

    It all gets changed into numbers in the end anyhow. Why get a middleman involved?
