  1. Last week ... on Adult Swim Revamps; Removes Most Anime · · Score: 1

    There was a Sealab episode about fueng shuei that ended with it being a video game played by meatwad and shake from Aqua Teen. It was hysterical!

  2. As much as some would like to think ... on Adult Swim Revamps; Removes Most Anime · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Adult swim isnt just anime. Shows like harvey birdman: attorney at law, and Sealab 2021 are hilarious shows with many adult only jokes, and many jokes that only adults would get.

  3. Note about the court decision on Wayback Machine Purged of Scientology Criticism · · Score: 1

    Even if you aren't very interested in Scientology I highly reccomend you read the court document. You will be educated greatly on the provisions of the Religious clause of the First Ammendment. Both sections of it, the establishment clause, and the practice clause are discussed, as well as what is protected by them, and specific examples of when the government can and has overridden them, and why. It will make you smarter, I happened to be reading it tonight before this article was posted on /. strangely enough.

  4. All you need to know about Scientology on Wayback Machine Purged of Scientology Criticism · · Score: 2, Informative

    Besides all the general information related to Scientology found at Operation Clambake, there are two categories of information that I feel are most important in understanding the premises under which the Church of Scientology, or Co$ for short, operate:

    Copyright:
    This page explains Scientology's misuse of copyrights and explains why their documents should not be subject to copyright laws. Basically, copyrights were intended to encourage publication of works, the exact opposite of what Scientology is trying to do. Furthermore, copyright law allows fair use for the purpose of critical review. How can you review something that isnt published? A significant portion, if not the whole document would need to be reproduced in order to evaluate it fairly.

    Legal Standings:
    Read the decision of WOLLERSHEIM vs CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY OF CALIFORNIA. To sum up the case, a man who was mentally unstable was psychologically tortured and further had his business and life ruined by Scientology. He sued and won millions after 20+ years. The judgement is important because it shows that Scientology is a religion, however its actions were not protected by the First Ammendment because its actions were performed in a coercive manner, and further that the Co$ deliberately tried to ruin his life socially, financially, and psychologically, by means not neccesarily legal. This covers the practices of Fair Game and Freeloaders Debt used and condoned by the Co$.

  5. wow 7 links on Passenger Profiling: CAPPS II · · Score: 2, Funny

    For when slahdotting one site just isnt enough...

    oh wait, I forget no one reads the articles, nevermind.

  6. Hopefully ... on AMD Opteron to support Palladium · · Score: 1

    AMD will enable Palladium like they lock the multiplier. Connect the L2 bridge with a pencil and the DRM is gone. Lets keep our fingers crossed.

  7. Well I guess we can't win on AMD Opteron to support Palladium · · Score: 1, Funny

    Might as well buy the cheaper, better, restricter of our rights. Still beats Intel.

  8. I sure as hell am not suprised on "L33T" Speak Invades Schools · · Score: 1

    English grades are almost always based on the teacher's personal opinion, which i suppose is onfurtunately the nature of subjectivity.

    Last year I wrote a research paper on the importance of encryption in E-Commerce. I recieved a C becuase my teacher felt that encryption wasn't as important as fighting the war on terrorism! At this point I knew not to even bother arguing.

  9. Belongs on slash. on Beware of Fake Monkey Automatons · · Score: 2, Interesting

    read the history of automatons and youll be impressed. Plus, its a monkey smoking a hookah, how can you not want to see that?

  10. Has the author been under a rock? on Gaming Fuel: 4-way Shootout · · Score: 1

    I have never, ever seen a soda bottle with an explosion warning before. Maybe I just haven't been looking hard enough, but when a soda carries a warning label you know there's something cool going on inside.

    He definitely hasn't been looking hard enough, because I remember those warning being around for years, I assume for legal reasons, and had found them quite humorous as a kid.

    Anyone else shocked by the author's suprise?

  11. Since no one has said it yet on Next-Generation Chip Fabs · · Score: 1, Funny

    What about someone sitting in the parking lot with a laptop and an antenna, who hops onto the network and sends fake data to the control system, screwing up all the chips?

  12. Lighten Up on Haiku vs Spam · · Score: 1

    Where in the FAQ does it say everything on /. must be serious and important or it can't be posted? Many people have written funny haikus and its been an amusing read, thats all that matters. While your information about OS X 10.2 is imformative and spam related, don't preface it with your bitching and moaning to the editors, cause now your just a troll in my mind.

  13. Re:Yeesh, turn off javascript if you click that li on RIAA Sues Backbone ISPs to Censor Website · · Score: 1

    asking its advertisers where they send their checks is an obvious approach

    If I advertised on that site I would tell the RIAA to f*ck off if they asked where I send my check. Besides the fact that I probably like that site cause of its high volume, and therefore high ad impressions, the RIAA is not a government agency (as much as they like to think they are), and I have no need to give them any information without a court order. Selling out people you do business with is never cool.

  14. Kevin Smith said it best on Godzilla Getting Ready to Stomp Mozilla? · · Score: 1

    From Clerks: The Animated Series - Episode 6

    Carnie: Do you sell Band-Aids?
    Randal: Band-Aids is a brand name. The proper term is adhesive strips.
    Dante: The man is bleeding to death and your getting into a symantics argument?
    Randal: Man, name brand word association is one of the more subtle threats to this nation's free trade. It gives the larger well-known companies an unfair advantage. I'm doing my part to keep the playing field level by weening people off refering to generic products with brand names.
    Dante: Way to show some backbone.
    Randal: No spine of JELLO here my friend.

  15. Trademark Dilution on Godzilla Getting Ready to Stomp Mozilla? · · Score: 1

    I guess you didnt read the Yoga Inside article awhile back on /. Even if the two items exist in completely different fields, a company can still feel they are being cheated out of the time and money they took to establish their trademark in any and all markets, according to the Trademark Dilution Act of 1995.

  16. If you look close on Directors Guild of America is Fighting Edited Films · · Score: 1

    You'll know that it specifically warns that the outakes are not rated, and should be viewed at your discretion.

  17. General Wine question on Transgaming's WineX 2.1 - Supports WarCraft 3 · · Score: 1

    Is Codeweavers Wine any different than WineHQ Wine, or does it just include codeweavers extra tools? The current Codeweavers version is a few months older, so is it worth it? Can you use the tools from the Codeweavers set with the newer wine from WineHQ? Thanks

  18. Other diesel alternatives on Drive a Greasecar - DIY Biodiesel · · Score: 1

    There is a man in my town who modded his diesel VW to run on peanut oil. You can gas up at the supermarket instead of waiting out back of a restaurant. In the local paper he admitted that he is no genious, farmers did it to their tractors all the time back when diesel engines were first out.

  19. They won't need any software on Peekabooty, Camera/Shy Released · · Score: 1

    People keep saying "How can they get Peek-A-Booty if the firewall is already inplace?"

    Users in countries where the Internet is censored do not necessarily need to install any software. They merely need to make a simple change to their Internet settings so that their access to the World Wide Web is mediated by the Peekabooty network.

  21. Ummm iMac?! on Mac Users May Be Smarter · · Score: 1

    As I recall, the iMac, which could be considered Apple's flagship line, is not exactly aimed at smart experienced internet users, but rather newcomers looking for a simple computer.

  22. explanation on Tribes2 Patch for Linux Out · · Score: 3, Informative

    all patches, FAQs, newsgroups and other online support services will continue to operate with a third party host. The Loki domains will be redirected to point to the new host, so you won't need to make any changes to continue to use these services.
