  1. Re:I thought... on Mom Makes Website, Gets Sued for $2 Million · · Score: 1

    Amen to that.

  2. Give it time... on Did Apple Sabotage the ROKR? · · Score: 1

    I work for a wireless provider here in Canada. Every Motorola product has problems with the battery, software or the flip breaks. We've stopped recommending them.

  3. Gamecube is finally breaking out of its shell on Realism vs. Style: the Zelda Debate · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I didn't play Zelda with the cell-shaded graphics except for about 10 minutes at a Best Buy, but I have to admit the control was phenonminal; I just hated the graphics.

    With games like Resident Evil 4, and now Twilight Princess, Gamecube appears to be finally trying to break into the 20-something market that Playstation and Xbox have had in a death-grip.

    I know I finally wanted to play Zelda again (having stopped at SNES) when I saw the previews for this one.

  4. Re:Is it always Violence? on Modern Humans, Neanderthals Shared Earth for 1,000 Years · · Score: 1

    Actually, evolutionists have been trying to point to anything BUT genocide as the explanation; nobody wants to think that we wiped out such a (relatively) advanced species. In all reality, it's likely the truth based on the evidence. Doesn't say much for us though.

  5. Mod parent up on FBI Arrests Eight On Copyright Charges · · Score: 1

    The 'you choose not to' argument is becoming bullshit, and this is not modded up enough.

  6. Re:Name confusion? on Longhorn's Offical Name is Windows Vista · · Score: 1

    I can see it now. Windows 'Wear Something'.

    Followed by, in 2008, Windows Rideau (Windows Curtains)

  7. Re:What I'd rather have is... on TiVo Lets You Respond to Ads · · Score: 1

    Did I say I was watching CSI?
    The Food Network shows this stuff!

  8. Re:What I'd rather have is... on TiVo Lets You Respond to Ads · · Score: 1

    I'm so tired of the menstration commercials. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to see anything about deodorant, mucous, or anthing else that's natural yet somewhat unpleasant to watch WHILE YOU'RE EATING.

    To (mis)quote the Royal Canadian Air Farce: I feel so free! Now I can go polevaulting!

    I mean, come on. Girls, if you don't know what a tampon is, you'll find out damned quickly.

  9. sarcasm? on How Episode IV Should Have Ended · · Score: 1

    Hell no; he's just avoiding the MPAA

  10. Terrorism! on Disney World Collecting Fingerprints · · Score: 1, Funny

    Osama wants to bomb Mickey Mouse! Someone please think of the children!

  11. Re:Eh? on Australian Man Found Guilty for Hyperlinking · · Score: 1

    Sorry, been on too many right-wing message boards where the only human being of value is a fetus.

  12. Re:Eh? on Australian Man Found Guilty for Hyperlinking · · Score: 1, Insightful

    And why the hell shouldn't they be?

    Since when should a corporation, a business led for the purpose of making money, EVER be more important than a living human being?

    I think we have our priorities backwards here.

  13. Re:RIP on The End of a Floppy Era · · Score: 1

    you mean like BSD is Dead? ;-)

  14. Mod parent down on 83,431 Recited Digits of Pi · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It's not interesting... it's bunk.
    Devoting your life to running gives you incredible health benefits.
    Devoting your life to memorizing a number gives you... a number.

  15. Re:Carrot Top Story for Wil on Wil Wheaton Strikes Back · · Score: 1

    C'mon... you're the one who's friends with him and you just don't want to admit it. This is Slashdot... we won't tell.

  16. Re:Typical inflammatory response on Canada To Introduce Copyright Law Next Week · · Score: 1

    Abolitionists were not facing corporate rule with the depths of FBI/CIA monitoring that goes on right now. Why don't you try to start a civil war over all of the attempts to curb your rights and freedoms. See how far you get. We'll just get nice snapshots of you in a dark prison cell with welts - if you get lucky.

    The majority (52%) of the US holds enough values in opposition to mine that I have completely changed my path in order to keep from living there.

  17. Typical inflammatory response on Canada To Introduce Copyright Law Next Week · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Mod parent -1 Flamebait.
    The US got quite a few of its brighter people back when Carter forgave the many who draft-dodged to Canada.

    It's not "crying and running away" to leave a country where 52% of the country voted for someone who stands against the environment, social change and encouraging peaceful, FAIR trade. The only crying anyone does is when their house is ransacked by the FBI without a warrant and family members are trucked to Guantanamo Bay to rot without a fair trial.

    When the majority of your country has fundamental belief differences, don't you believe it's time to move onto a place where you are accepted, respected and supported? Do you stay in a family that constantly berates and abuses you? I suppose... if you're an idiot.

    It takes far more conviction to choose your morals and your beliefs over your country. Blind patriotism to a country that holds all of your values in opposition is the saddest form of ignorance a person can possess

  18. Re:Not Enough Philosophy in Science on The Pseudoscience of Intelligent Design · · Score: 1

    Evolution itself should be upgraded to LAW. There is no doubt that it exists... evidence has been concurred so many times we have lost track.

    The theory is in how it is carried out primarily. Kimura's random selection? Natural selection? Genetic drift? We're not quite sure what is the primary driver here (and much evidence points to each).

    The actual evolution is not in dispute except among the fundies.

  19. Re:Queue "They Have no Right" posts on RIAA Cracks Down on Internet2 File Sharing · · Score: 1

    Or as a friend once quoted:
    "Like throwing a hotdog down a hallway"

  20. Re:Physicality on Broadband to Kill Off DVD? · · Score: 1

    No, but they'd rather watch it from a 52" plasma than a 21" monitor.

    Plus, most would rather invest in a nice TV and a DVD player rather than having to hook their computer to their TV through an output card.

  21. Re:Great minds think alike. on Double-Slit Experiment in Time, Not Space · · Score: 1

    Eh, A little from column A, a little from column B :D

  22. Re:Great minds think alike. on Double-Slit Experiment in Time, Not Space · · Score: 2, Insightful

    With string theory under your belt, you can be as sloppy as you like.
    String theorists are to physicists what physicists are to the rest of the world.

    They used to rub the bald head for luck. Sheesh, don't you ever watch the outtakes?!?

  24. Addendum on Senators Clinton and Kerry Submit Open Voting Bill · · Score: 1

    By the way, I have read the Mitofsky-Edison report to which I assume you are referring regarding the exit polls. I do find it interesting that there are other statisticians who conclude differently.

  25. Take off your republican bias for a second. on Senators Clinton and Kerry Submit Open Voting Bill · · Score: 1

    I intentionally linked to a couple of legitimate sites because I figured you'd bash any with a liberal bias. I didn't say the election was stolen. I did however indicate that there were irregularities for which there is suspicious involvement of partisan officials in power, similar to Katherine Harris' bullshit in 2000. John Conyers is a legitimately elected congressman who felt these irregularities were worth investigating. He is obviously not the only one.

    Notice I link to nonpartisan websites there (with the exception of rawprint, which has a scanned copy of an offical letter). Besides, even republicans should be outraged at Blackwell's lack of co-operation.
