  1. Re:Pacman taught me to be a cannibal on Maybe Video Games Don't Make Kids Kill · · Score: 2

    Xenophobe taught me to be afraid of foreigners ;)

  2. Whoa! Saddam? Hitler? on Time's Man of the Century: Linus Torvalds? · · Score: 1

    Saddam Hussein is #20? And Hitler is #3? Something tells me not all the votes were exactly heartfelt...

  3. YOU ARE A RICE BOY on World's Biggest Roller Coaster · · Score: 0

    What is a Riceboy?



    Stupid little kids who put big exhaust pipes on their Hondas and think they instantly have 50 more horses because the chopshop owner who sold it to them said so. Kids who are proud of their car sounding like a bumblebee. Pimply little runts who think that putting a fake VTEC sticker or "Type-R" badge on their car gives it more horsepower. Punks who only go to "Battle of the Imports" races because deep down inside they know their doors would get blown off by domestic muscle cars. 'Nuff said.

  4. WARNING ABOUT PAINTING on New PowerBook G3 & the iBook · · Score: 1

    AFAIK, paint will eat through the rubberized parts on these things. I painted my G3 black, and discovered to my horror that the rubberized film on the hockey puck mouse bubbled up like salted snails when I accidentally sprayed it a little on the outside surface. Fortunately, the majority of the Powermac doesn't have this rubberized film on it, but it seems that the iBook has quite a bit of this stuff on it. Just be careful where you spray, guys.

  5. Those guys are ripping off Snow Crash! on The Ultimate Computer Chair · · Score: 1

    http://www.netsurfer.fi/snow/snow.htm


    Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Neal Stephenson coin this term? And now they're using it as their own trademark?

  6. Re:Ugly, uncomfortable, and expensive. on The Ultimate Computer Chair · · Score: 1

    Yeah, not being able to excercise your arms and legs leads to muscle atrophy like the shuttle astronauts. After a while you look like a potato sack with spaghetti legs

  7. That's silly on The Folly of Faking Fan Sites · · Score: 1

    The Blair Witch project already had so much positive buzz about it, for them to pull a stunt like creating a fake fan site would be tripping themselves when they're on a good stride. If it is true, the marketing team needs a good kick in the head. Spielberg's marketing team already tried that crap (they pretended their Jurassic Park 2 website was hacked into) and everyone called them on it. Why even take chances with dampening your movie's publicity? It's definitely not worth the risk.


  8. Re:And what will they be called? on Egghead and Onsale Merge · · Score: 2

    Head-On
    EggOnHead
    Headache
    HeadOnSale
    EggOnSaleHead

  9. iloveslashdot.org is available on George W. Bush buys anti-Bush names · · Score: 0

    And so are iloveslashdot.net and iloveslashdot.com. On the other hand, so are ihateslashdot.com, net and org...

  10. So what? on IBM and Nintendo Partner on Dolphin · · Score: 1

    It's a good article anyways, with more info.

  11. Re:I'll tell you what it's good for... on REBOL the "Messaging Language" · · Score: 1

    I guess it's just to keep Microsoft at bay... which is not a bad cause in itself, but I think Unix can handle the job pretty well without any new gadgets. I keep hearing about managers switching networks over to NT and then switching back to Unix when they get tired of slowdowns and crashes. This includes MSNBC, by the way.

  12. I dunno on Internet Freedom Act · · Score: 1

    The part about making it a crime to use another's email address for spam is awesome, but... is taking away the FCC's jurisdiction really a good idea?

  13. wait, i don't understand on REBOL the "Messaging Language" · · Score: 1

    What exactly is the usefulness of this? Networking? Internet? What does it provide that existing protocols can't do?

  14. Re:I'm curious... on More Star Wars Hype · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it was just that I remember another article saying that he wouldn't prosecute kiddies who were posting trailers on non-profit websites, but this article seems to say he'll go after anyone. I wish there were more specific statements on "can-do" and "cannot-do"...

  15. I'm curious... on More Star Wars Hype · · Score: 2

    Does his stance against piracy include those of us who turn the Quicktime trailers into MPEGs and distribute them for free?

  16. I am First Post! on "Invisible" Speakers · · Score: 0

    Curses, I've been beaten to the punch. I'll be back!
