  1. Thx HP for the New Grey Market Opportunity! on HP to Region-code Cartridges · · Score: 1

    This is a real boost for US vendors of HP printers -- lots of new European customers.

  2. Staving Off the Ice Age on Human Activity to Blame For 2003 Heatwave · · Score: 1

    Keep burning those fossil fuels as long as we need them and enjoy the WEATHER while we have it. Once we've gone to fusion and fuel cells and whatever clean energy is next, the CLIMATE will continue on as it was before we interrupted it by building our temporary greenhouse (effect). So with all that cheap energy, we'll be warm indoors, but the outdoors won't be much fun, north of Bahamas' latitude.

  3. Re:Time to open it up! on Winamp Down for the Count · · Score: 1

    Did you say iTunes is cheap? Dude, you have way too much money.

  4. Re:Worldwide results on The Votemaster Is...Andrew Tanenbaum · · Score: 1

    How telling it is that this European wants to piggyback on Slashdot, rather than proposing that the Europeans create *their own* version of Slashdot.

  5. Re:Yeah, but... on Hypo-Allergenic Cats Now Available for Pre-Order · · Score: 2, Funny

    Pain in the leg? If you step on them hard enough, they don't strike back...

  6. Re:It's not a democracy. It's a republic. on P2P File Sharing Could Cost You A Bundle · · Score: 1

    Dudes,
    You're not limited in America to semi-auto weapons, unless you live in a few "select" places (pun intended,) like Kalifornia, DC, Chicago, Cleveland, Boston, NYC... Anywhere else, pay your transfer tax & meet other ATF requirements & take your full-auto home.

    Educate yourself on the laws. You can still have anything you want, in most of the country, FOR NOW.

  7. Re:Better to put it in Edmonton on North Slope Server Farm · · Score: 2

    Does the spec for IPv6 include a few bits for an "eh?" after every few packets?

  8. Damn that Charlton Heston! on Gaming Companies Being Sued Over Columbine · · Score: 1

    Well, it would seem that the pro-gun prediction has come true: the impulse to disarm the people stands side by side with the impulse to silence the people. Put another way: the 2nd Amendment is the support mechanism for all the others. Maybe you thought that, when the 2nd Amendment was pissed on, the stuff would somehow not run off on the 1st Amendment? Hm. Of course, I'm not indicting the parents so much as I'm indicting the handlers -- the lawyers and the leftist politicians (here in Colorado especially). They don't care what they piss on, so long as the checks keep coming in, and they hold a little more control when it's all over.

  9. No Internal Passport Required on Keeping DEA In The Loop About Amtrak Travelers · · Score: 1

    This fact appears to be new to the discussion of this story: you DO NOT have to show ID for travel within the United States. The airlines started this practice, so that you couldn't use others' frequent flyer miles. NO LAW EXISTS to require that you show identification. Ask the next ticketing agent to show you the statutory authority. The trade off? Your bags will be hand searched and tagged with an orange label. You will be listed in the airlines computer as a "designee" on the particular flight. I assume practices are much the same for Amtrak or the bus lines.
