  1. that makes 6 stories about Palladium on The Power of Palladium · · Score: 4, Insightful

    in 16 days... all of them saying the same thing...

  2. heh, this is amusing... on AT&T Concerned About H2K2 · · Score: 3, Funny

    almost as funny as the story run by FOXNEWS.com saying "al Qaeda operatives have infiltrated WorldCom" (last two paragraphs on the page)... seems they didnt read the whole story at foxnews.com... it was a joke commentary by Arnaud de Borchgrave

    the story outlining foxnews erronious reporting is here (Item #4).

  3. Re:$1000 ?!? on Sony's New Bookshelf MP3 Player -- Audio TiVo? · · Score: 2

    I dont know if they are available anymore (I bought it several years ago), but I have a "pointing device" that is like the ones found in the middle of the IBM notebooks. It sits off to the left of my TV screen.

  4. Re:$1000 ?!? on Sony's New Bookshelf MP3 Player -- Audio TiVo? · · Score: 2

    mine cost $300.00 and it doesnt remotely look like crap. Micro ATX case, black with a cover over the CDRdrive, fits right in with the rest of my stereo components... video output is fed to the TV, audio fed into my 250W reciever

  5. Its the prices stupid! on NYTimes Looks at Warez · · Score: 1

    I went to the local store and saw WC3, "my god that is a beautifully packaged piece of work" I said to myself, till I looked at the price... "$60.00?!?"

    I cant afford that! Im not going to bootleg it, I will just wait a (long) while till it comes down in price (I just picked up Heretic II for 5.00 at a software store last summer)

    price it more reasonably and MORE people will buy it, it goes the same for music and anything else you can think of, the lower the price the more people buy it... most people have a "price threshold" go over it and it doesnt matter how good it is they will bypass it...

  6. and to think... on More on "Good Omens" the Movie and Coraline · · Score: 3, Funny

    I thought you were refering to a forth part to "The Omen" series...

  7. I can think of a better one (or 2) on Warner Bros. plans 'Superman vs. Batman' Movie · · Score: 2

    Batman vs. the Predator (awsome series)
    OR
    Batman Vs. Judge Dredd (first two of the three were awsome)

    Batman vs Superman always seemed a bit hokey to me

  8. Re:Oh No! on Macworld: No new Towers, But 17-inch iMac · · Score: 2

    funny, I didnt see their name in the article....

  9. Oh No! on Macworld: No new Towers, But 17-inch iMac · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I hope they dont get blacklisted now!

  10. Re:Too bad... on Alternative-Fuel Vehicle Recommendations? · · Score: 2

    anything less than 350CID isnt a real engine :)

  11. Re:Is it their way of making EULA a real contract? on MS Passport and... Visa · · Score: 2

    not always, internet sales rarely get a signature, pay at the pump? ditto.

  12. Wild Turkeys... on Chicken-Feather Chips · · Score: 2

    Fly!

  13. Re:here's my regular "Tech Review is crap" post on Will Instant Messaging Ever Unite? · · Score: 2

    because I have been using ICQ for a very long time... and everyone that I care to talk to is on it... why should "I" switch...

  14. Re:Riiiiight on Windows 2000 - Nine Months to Live · · Score: 2

    force me to? Im still running win 98, they didnt force me to go to ME, 2000, or XP (though I do have a few 2k boxes). They cant "Force" me to do anything, If I wanted to I coule load DOS 6.22 and win 3.11 on my PIII and they couldnt stop me!

  15. from the FAQ... on EFF And MPAA On Broadcast Flags · · Score: 1

    protecting content, broadcast or otherwise, will spur the availability of high definition content

    oh goody... we'll have high definition CRAP on TV now...

  16. Re:Is this going to be the new whipping boy? on MS Palladium Patent · · Score: 2

    I find it bothersome as well, BUT dont forget the boy who cried wolf too many times, people stopped listening...

  17. Is this going to be the new whipping boy? on MS Palladium Patent · · Score: 5, Interesting

    since the 26th of June Slashdot has had five stories concerning palladium:

    http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/06/23/ 16 41205&mode=thread&tid=109

    http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/06/27/1252 27 &mode=thread&tid=109

    http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/07/02/1617 21 8&mode=thread&tid=109

    http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/07/04/ 13 14229&mode=thread&tid=109

    and now this one... shouldnt the paranoia level be turned down a notch till we have something a little more concrete?

  18. Im tired... on Danish Court Rules Deep Linking Illegal · · Score: 2

    Im tired of people looking to the law when they themselevs are capable of fixing the problem themselves...

    they seem to manage at anglefire to prevent linking from outside the domain...

  19. Re:Geeze! on RIAA to Sue You Now · · Score: 2

    Why mainstream? because that is what is played on the radio (mostly) and that is what the majority of the people listen to. You or I buying radiohead wont make a dent in the RIAAs final numbers, its the people thet buy Brittney Spears and BSB that make up their numbers.

  20. Geeze! on RIAA to Sue You Now · · Score: 3, Interesting

    World-wide music sales dropped 5% last year, while global sales of compact-disc albums declined for the first time since CDs were launched in 1983. So far this year, U.S. music sales are down steeply from a sluggish 2001.

    Name one GOOD album that was released this year (Mainstream please)! I cant think of ONE MP3 that I have downloaded that was released in the last two years...

    put out a quality producat and people WILL buy it, music today is like the "K-car" or the 80s... no soul...

  21. can someone PLEASE point me in the direction on Music Industry Staggers While Film Industry Blooms · · Score: 2

    of a MAINSTREAM band that is ORIGINAL? I have yet to find many. No originality, no passion, nothing that I want.

  22. this is the reason... on Options for Adults with Renewed Interest in Math? · · Score: 2

    ...some of us are opposed to putting computers in every classroom...

  23. As long as my current batch of machines run... on Coursey on Palladium · · Score: 2

    I dont care. I will NOT switch to their new scheme, just as I will NOT upgrade to XP. Win2k and Win98SE do the job just fine. I have enough games to keep my entertained for years. If it ever gets to the point where I "have" to get a new game machine, Ill get a console.

  24. Re:Are they nuts?! on Microsoft Freon · · Score: 2

    the PSone is only 49.99, thats why it is still selling... that and there are about a zillion games out there for it...

  25. you expected otherwise? on No Love From Microsoft For Xbox Modders · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Im suprised it didn't happen the day it was announced.
