  1. don't worry... on MP3.com Removes "High-Bandwidth" Streams · · Score: 1

    pretty soon a large website will come out with a p2p2p2p2p application for them to stream to 10 or so main users that will stream to 10 more that will stream to 5 more each and so on as the less bandwidth endowed users get in the mix.

  2. duh on Video Chat Software Reviewed · · Score: 5, Funny

    of course MSN product is better... they are already on version 6! iChatAV doesn't even HAVE a version number! silly mac freaks.

  3. Re:This is great on TiVo Data Collection Ramifications · · Score: 1

    ad executives know this... but you aren't like everyone... for them they know that probably 90% will hate the ad, 8% dont care, and 2% will like it and buy the product.

    you only like 2% of commecials because that was the 2% geared to you. the 90% that you hate you probably wouldn't have bought anyways. i'm seriously considering buying some tampax pearl tampons though. that chick in white is a little hottie.

  4. Re:Good thing on RIAA To Sue Hundreds Of File Swappers · · Score: 1

    but you should indeed fear their bed buddy the MPAA... i'm sure you're name will come up during some pillow talk.

  5. Re:Understatement on Microsoft Steps Up Anti-Spam Efforts · · Score: 1

    ... they do run hotmale... er... hotmail.

  6. Re:Not just for tagging consumers' clothes on Labelling RFID Products · · Score: 1

    the technology already exists. they could already do this. the article is about whether or not i want someone outside the grocery store to know just how many cans of pringles i bought today.

  7. Re:prior art catch 22 on Chip Firm Hit By 45-Year-Old Patent · · Score: 1

    that IS how it works for the FDA, i THOUGHT that is how it worked for patents too... am i mistaken? has slashdot been successfully trolled by inaccurate patent law?

  8. Re:Bad idea...(so what?) on Bid On eBay To Speed Up Your Commute · · Score: 1

    the carpool lane is unconstitutional.

  9. jackass? on Using Sling Shot Power to Hurl Into Orbit · · Score: 0, Troll

    i think i saw this on jackass... but in the end i don't think they even got over the ramp into the lake.

  10. duh... on Digital Baseball Umpires · · Score: 0, Troll

    of course it can't match the human 3D view... it has well more than 2 cameras, so matching 3D would actually be a degradation.

    tennis already has this, and baseball should follow suit. no umps on the field, every call done in real time by machines.

    sports are there for one reason: betting. and i don't want my $100 bet governed by a drunken second base ump that has $100 on the other team.

  11. Re:Slight wording difference on USB 1.1 Renumbered To USB 2? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Why they would actually want to sell more 1.1's is beyond me though.

    overstock, with no demand. a retailers nightmare.

  12. Re:battery life is 4 days!! on Palm OS Wristwatch · · Score: 0, Troll

    Average battery life: Approx. 4 days (Based on an average use of 30 minutes per day, with backlight set OFF. The battery life varies depending on the temperature and conditions of use.)

    why would you want to use the backlight anyways. personally, once it gets dark outside, thats a sign for me to go sleep and get ready for buffalo hunting in the morning when the sun god arises.

    i wonder if anyone on the design team realized that some people never take their watch off and don't want to be burdened with recharging it every single day?!

  13. if only i was a subscriber on SCO Terminates IBM's Unix License · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    then i could have first posted over 20 minutes ago. oh well.

    either way, there is nothing to say about this. copy and past all the +5s from every other inane SCO claim.

    holla.

  14. Re:Fossil Fuels on Widespread Use of Hydrogen May Hurt Ozone Layer · · Score: 0, Troll

    that doesn't hurt the ozone layer... just everything else, so its ok.

  15. this man is an idiot on Profile of a Hard-Core Gamer · · Score: 0, Troll

    madison wi is one of the best cities on earth. i grew up there and just went back for a bachelor party. i hooked up with 5 girls in 3 days, and have a 2-way full of numbers.

    in the bay area full of snotty up tight bitches i'm lucky to get 1 number during an entire weekend.

    i am a gamer, a programmer, and most of all, a drunk. get this fucking loser a beer and tell him to shut his pussy. no one cares.

  16. Re:well... on Matrix Gets Egyptian Ban For Explicit Religion · · Score: 1

    wow. humorless fucks indeed.

  17. well... on Matrix Gets Egyptian Ban For Explicit Religion · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    its obviously they are just dancing around the real reasoning behind the ban. dancing like egyptians.

  18. Re:One doesn't have to wonder... on Justin Frankel Resigns From Nullsoft · · Score: 1

    if they really had a "we own everything write" assuming in or out of the office, then he can't release his software under the GPL... AOL already owns it the second his fingers hit the keyboard.

  19. seriously... on LOTR The Musical! · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    how many gay nerds are out their that are going to go see this?!

  20. link to evidence on Might Mars Contain Life? · · Score: 1
  21. well... on Video Games Boost Visual Skills · · Score: 2, Funny

    masturbating 3 times a day got rid of my carpal tunnel...

  22. subjects are for homos. on Why Do Computers Still Crash? · · Score: 1

    a subsystem making sure the main system can't crash (such as the sandbox architechure of java) requires so much overhead that we would be going back a lot in terms of computing power.

    and god forbid the subsystem has a few errors, or the entire forfeit of speed for reliability was for naught.

    just don't install bonzi buddy and your shit will be fine.

  23. oh, i get it... on Congressional Anti-Piracy Caucus Formed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    so free as in beer is like free as in campaign fund raising money from the riaa...

  24. Re:Flash, Opera, and Firebird? on Opera Releases Version 7 For Linux · · Score: 1

    because if it was anymore than 50% the justice department might audit macromedia and find that M$ is one of their biggest investors?

  25. oh no! on Databases and Privacy · · Score: 1, Funny

    someone has probably already cross referenced my slashdot record with my driving record and found that i like to drive with the images turned off!

    this is a dumb story... of course the data is out there... of course you can scour multiple sources and build a more complete picture... its still the same data.
