  1. Working title on Strange Glitches In Games · · Score: 1

    "Commander Keen 6: John Carmack Pays His Mortgage Off"

  2. Re:This will be a nightmare if consumer 'win' on Group Pushes FCC To Investigate Skype for iPhone · · Score: 1

    I think the point of all this is that AT&T is screwing us over hard on the voice prices. People are willing to put up with all kind of crap to get Skype to work, and Skype (let's be honest here) is not even very good compared to a normal mobile phone.

    I'd rather see this swing the other way, and have AT&T forced to charge a competitive rate for voice to compete with Skype.

  3. Re:And the problem is? on Group Pushes FCC To Investigate Skype for iPhone · · Score: 1

    But it's not the service, it's the product.

  4. Re:Public vs Private on Group Pushes FCC To Investigate Skype for iPhone · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Someone missed their trolling for Slashdotters class.

  5. Re:Investigate an iphone on Group Pushes FCC To Investigate Skype for iPhone · · Score: 4, Funny

    Good thing I bought Apple Care.

  6. Consumers vs. Business on Group Pushes FCC To Investigate Skype for iPhone · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Not to sound jaded, but Slashdotters know the outcome of this already.

  7. Year of the Linux Console on EVO Linux Gaming Console Opens Pre-Orders · · Score: 4, Funny

    2009 will be the Year of the Linux Console.

    That's right, you just read it on the internet -- it must be true!

  8. Re:it's about time... on Clearwire Plans Silicon Valley "Sandbox" WiMax Net · · Score: 1

    But at least I would be more productive.

  9. Re:Clearwire, not Clear Channel on Clearwire Plans Silicon Valley "Sandbox" WiMax Net · · Score: 1

    Murdoch doesn't have anything to do with ClearChannel (aside from the obvious content similarities.)

  10. Lynx support? on Diagnose Conficker With Web-Based Eye Chart · · Score: 4, Funny

    Come on, it doesn't work in Lynx? I want my money back.

  11. Nope on Is Alcohol Killing Our Planet? · · Score: 1

    The planet? No.

    Me? Yes.

  12. Here's to hope... on Star Trek Sequel Already Planned · · Score: 2

    ....hope that J.J. Abrams and friends don't screw up Star Trek. Because it sounds like they have been given carte blanche over the franchise for the time being.

    RIP Gene Roddenberry.

  13. Name vs. content on Irish Domain Registry Banning Adult Domains · · Score: 4, Funny

    So this only applies to the domain name, and not the content, right?

    Is there anything offensive about the name "goatse"?

  14. Re:April fools... on IE 8.1 Supports Firefox Plugins, Rendering Engine · · Score: 1

    And not even a good April Fool's at that. It's too obviously fake.

  15. Re:Selling an open-source software business? on Locating the Real MySQL · · Score: 1

    Okay.... what he said.

    Anyway, I guess Sun's history is plagued with poor business decisions so this MySQL disaster shouldn't surprise anyone.

  16. Selling an open-source software business? on Locating the Real MySQL · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This calls into question whether it's viable to sell a business based on open-source software.

    What did Sun buy exactly? Sales and support?

  17. Interview on Interview With Google's V8 Author Lars Bak · · Score: 1

    How is this an "interview"?

  18. Link? on Google Launches Free, Legal Music Downloads in China · · Score: 4, Funny

    Someone have a link to this so I can start the downloading?

    Or do I need a Chinese proxy first?

  19. They should make it 24 times faster on Project Aims For 5x Increase In Python Performance · · Score: 0

    Because 24 is the biggest number there is. That's alls I'm sayin'. Forget about it.

  20. Re:Make sure to complain to the FTC on FTC Warns Against Deceptive DRM · · Score: 4, Informative
  21. Does this have anything to do with... on FTC Warns Against Deceptive DRM · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...when a certain US president accidentally bought some region 1 DVDs for a certain UK prime minister?

  22. Re:Newfags on Is Your IM Buddy Really a Computer? · · Score: 1

    That doesn't work in a chat program though.

    Now triforce and SINEP, those might work...

  23. Re:Max Headroom on Old-School Keyboard Makes Comeback of Sorts · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's certainly better than the keyboards in Naked Lunch...

  24. Quality, or neophobia on Old-School Keyboard Makes Comeback of Sorts · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Frankly this sounds more like neophobia and/or nostalgia than a legitimate concern about keyboard quality.

  25. Re:so buy nothing on Pwn2Own 2009 Winner Charlie Miller Interviewed · · Score: 1

    Pirating software won't make it any less vulnerable...
