  1. Reverse-engineering on Real Worried About Apple Lawsuits · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is reverse-engineering software necessarily illegal? Has a precedent been set in the software world that would apply to this? Is there a lawyer in the house (or a law student with too much time)?

  2. FedEx is NON-Profit! on FedEx Cracks Down on Box Furniture, Citing DMCA · · Score: 1

    Proof:

    fedex.org

    Sanity from whom?

  3. Ship To on FedEx Cracks Down on Box Furniture, Citing DMCA · · Score: 1

    Wow! When the box is full, where do you ship the stuff?


    Please send all packages to:

    G.W.B.
    1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
    Washington, DC 20500

    *ahem*

  4. Well duh on FedEx Cracks Down on Box Furniture, Citing DMCA · · Score: 1

    The bed can handle his 5-foot-6-inch, 165-pound frame, even when he jumps up and down on it (an experiment he tried in response to an e-mail asking if the bed could support two people).

    And the reason he couldn't actually test his bed with two people on it obvious.... right?

    Umm... he likes tall girls?

  5. Re:Best example of corporate stupidity...ever on FedEx Cracks Down on Box Furniture, Citing DMCA · · Score: 5, Funny

    Same as before (read: currently) with the record industry:

    "I dont get it. We sue the fuck out of them and they STILL won't buy our products!"

  6. Pays on MS Gets $7 Million From Spammer · · Score: 1

    How does that work?

    He who pays the lawyers, gets the cash. Problem is, most of us can not afford the time or money to hire an army of lawyers. M$ can.

  7. The Movies! on How Many Wireless Technologies Can We Handle? · · Score: 1

    betamax didn't survive because the tape length wasn't suited for pr0n,

    Ironically enough, the ONLY betamax videos I ever saw when I was younger were owned by my friends father, who only had pr0n. For a few years, I thought betamax's were just used for pr0n.

  8. Terror? on Extra Daylight Savings May Confuse the Gadgets · · Score: 1

    "Stop the apocalypse! Hire me"

    Scare tactics always work in US. Tell them, doom is near and people will do anything, even hire you ;)!


    If you don't hire me, the terrorist have already won(?).

  9. Intermission on NRLB Redefines 'Your Own Time' · · Score: 1

    I agree, and in fact, I tell people to treat work as an intermission to living your life. No one ever spend their last day on their death saying, "I wish I could have stayed just one more day at the office."

  10. Re:A bad thing? on Hackers Forced Announcement of 10th Planet Find · · Score: 1

    So, waiting for a full analysis is a bad thing now?

    Of course. How can you expect us to mob the scientist with questions you know they can't answer so we can cut their funding if they have done all the needed analyst?

  11. Ask the kids again... on E-mail Is For Old People · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...AFTER they get a job. If I get less than 50 e-mails a day at work, it's a Christmas day miracle.

  12. Re:Um... on EFF Requests Help to Identify "Evil" Printers · · Score: 1

    So this one dot can uniquely identify every printer sold? Or does the dot just indicate the make/model?

  13. Re:Um... on EFF Requests Help to Identify "Evil" Printers · · Score: 0

    So, what, exactly is added to a print to make it traceable? I have my printer here and I printed a document earlier but I can't seem to find any identifiable markers on it. How is this tech accomplished?

  14. Football teaches on Hillary, GTA, and High School Football · · Score: 2, Funny

    [sarcasm]

    1. How to work with other people
    Ok, you boys go together and slam into that guy with the ball.

    2. How to get along with people you may not like
    Slam into that guy with the ball.

    3. Discipline and focus, with regard to achieving a goal
    Ok, you slam into him, and you slam into that guy, and you make the touchdown.

    4. Planning and stragety
    If it moves, slam into it.

    5. Competitiveness, which certainly can help later in life if applied correctly
    Now boys, it's just a game. But you better slam into them harder than they slam into us!

  15. Going soft? on Russia's Biggest Spammer Brutally Murdered · · Score: 1

    Just when I thought they were going soft, we get this.

  16. Re:google simplicity on Google's Share of Searches Falling? Or Increasing? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Google's new features are cool, no doubt, but perhaps it is losing popularity due to the ever-increasingly complex interface.

    Sure it is.

  17. Re:People are still having sex on ESRB Revokes San Andreas Rating · · Score: 5, Funny

    This makes me want to kill the ESRB board, but I will do one better, I will run around naked in front of them.

    Whoa! Hold up there, champ. It's one thing to threaten some violence, but threatening nudity? Now you've gone too far! Think of the children!!

  18. Yes, but on Government Pressure on ESRB · · Score: 1

    Please don't even think about drinking until you're 21.

  19. Expire? on User Group Urges IBM To Open OS/2 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Do non-disclosure agreements expire necessarily? Or is that something that would only happen if it was written into a contract for some reason?

  20. Re:I just use my turbo button! on Win2000 Still Performs on 8-year-old Hardware · · Score: 1

    You know, I used to have an old comp that had the turbo button. Did that actually do anything? I seem to recall that most people just left it on.

  21. Re:Making Sure The Guilty Pay Their Price on Unsealed SCO Email Reveals Linux Code is Clean · · Score: 3, Informative

    Some of the players to watch:

    Chairman

    Since it's Slashdot, I'll assume you meant 1984.

  24. Re:Initech on A Study On Time Wasted At Work · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yes, I get the reference. BUT....

    The beauty of that is if you do 30 minutes of work a week, you can tell your boss that you've DOUBLED the productivity!

  25. Re:I don't need a study to prove this... on A Study On Time Wasted At Work · · Score: 3, Funny
