  1. Yep on Would a Boycott of the MPAA/RIAA Help Matters? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Sure it would help. If you could actually convince people outside of Slashdot to do it.

  2. Bebop on Spirited Away Wins Award; Cowboy Bebop Opening Soon · · Score: 1

    I was really impressed with the Cowboy Bebop series. I watched it on a fluke and decided to buy the whole thing on DVD. A lot of thought went behind it and the animation is really superb.

    Character development is great. Some of the episodes are tear jerkers. The episode that Ed finds her father was pretty emotional.

    And the music is top notch!

    Check it out if you haven't. Personally, I'm really excited to see the movie come out here. Hopefully it will hit the nearest independent theatre.

  3. AOL is a court winner on AOL Awarded Millions in Spam Case · · Score: 5, Funny

    Either AOL wins a lot of anti-spam cases in Virginia or the editors at ./ post a lot of duplicate stories.

  4. Geek Gifts on Geek Christmas Gift Ideas · · Score: 5, Funny

    Anyone know where I can get a good penis enlarger or a new home mortage for Christmas? I've been searching all over the Internet without any success.

  5. Wow on nVidia Unified Drivers Including Linux/FreeBSD · · Score: 1, Redundant

    But wouldn't it be sweet if they also offered superior ATI drivers? That'd sure make them think.

    Sounds like a good business decision to me.

  6. Re:What it means on Gutnick Can Pursue Dow-Jones Libel Case · · Score: 1

    I'm confused. Why is it wrong to shout 'theatre' in a crowded firehouse?

  7. Re:Not whoring but... on Gutnick Can Pursue Dow-Jones Libel Case · · Score: 1

    If by "will" you mean "might" then yes, I agree with you.

  8. Elite on Star Control 2 Released Under the GPL · · Score: 1

    Does anyone remember the game Elite (followed by Frontier and Frontier First Encounters)? Now THAT was a space sim. It would be impossible to visit all of the worlds and, yet, it still fit on no more than a couple of disks for FFE. It was just one of those games with limitless options and no need to follow the storyline if you didn't want to.

    I spent many a day trying to save up for the badass ships. The satisfaction of smuggling slaves without getting caught was just so...great.

    They're all shareware now, by the way. You can find them at http://www.eliteclub.co.uk.

  9. Re:Spammers attack archives with copyright threats on Spam Archive opening FTP service December 4 · · Score: 1

    Hi. I notice that you have posted for the world to see a copy of my tremendous offer that I sent to everyone in the world so that they could see how easy it is to enlarge your penis.

    Unfortunately, this is copyrighted.

    I know what you are saying - if I sent it to everyone why should I care if you post it for everyone to see? I mean, yes, great advertising!

    It works the same way as the bible, though. Sure, you can buy the holy book and just about everyone has it since everyone in this blessed country is of the faith. But if you were to post it online, thanks to Disney and other defenders of the meek, God would sue you and probably condemn you to eternal damnation.

    Who wants that?

    So I recommend that you pay me large sums of money to help compensate for the money I have lost due to your I-do-things-against-God compaign. We will then both be happy!

  10. DivX! Sweet! on Revolutionizing x86 CPU Performance · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's pretty sweet how he makes the x86 processor faster by adding commands for divx! This guy knows how to improve Intel architecture for the masses!

  11. Most Important Solar System Discovery on New Frozen World Found Beyond Pluto · · Score: 5, Funny

    "This discovery is being hailed as the most important solar system discovery in the past 72 years."

    Not by me.

  12. Re:How does he know? on Xiph.org Releases Theora Alpha One · · Score: 1

    For sure on the iRiver line of portables. Somebody up above pointed to a page on the iRiver site that confirms they are working on adding Ogg support.

  13. Re:Don't waste your time... on New MP3 Portables · · Score: 1

    I actually listen to Stern in the morning with my mp3 player in FM mode - and then once he's off the air I slip in an mp3 CD of vintage Stern. I have about a year of Stern on CD.

  14. Re:Don't waste your time... on New MP3 Portables · · Score: 1

    Sorry guy, but I'm a proud owner of the SlimX player. I guess it depends on what you want, but I'm really into the MP3 cdplayer. It's cheap and well constructed. I couldn't ask for anything more. It also works great in my car with the car kit. It also claims in the future, through a firmware upgrade, it will support ogg.

  15. Re:Let's figure out what the test titles are. I go on Mysteries Of The CDRW and Backups Revealed · · Score: 1

    Looked like disc 4 was Fast and the Furious.

  16. Re:Good copy protection on Music Meets Steganography · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't that just be an incentive to continue creating superstars based on their looks so you crave their pictures?

  17. Re:No copycats please! on Hacking the Highways · · Score: 1

    Hush, terrorist.

  18. Code Red not bad? on Viruses: More Hype than Danger? · · Score: 1

    I thought it was pretty bad. It turned off my gas and my electricity after it had fun with my unpatched IIS server.

  19. Re:No one will take the time... on Alternate Audio Tracks for Movies · · Score: 1

    I'm listening to it right now.

  20. Does IT come with a trailer hitch? on This is IT? · · Score: 1

    So what happens when I want to move a piano?

  21. More information on Afghanistan Is Like Nothing You've Ever Seen · · Score: 1

    For Slashdot would-be Generals:

  22. Cure for Code Red on Code Redux · · Score: 1

    Someone should just write a Code Red variant of their own to download the patch for the web servers and install it...

  23. Re:DOS activity on the internet? on Study on DoS Activity In The Internet · · Score: 1

    Was I the only one to find this funny?
