  1. Re:No registration on Computerized Betting System Proves Vulnerable · · Score: 1


    Wasn't there something in the FAQ that said they no longer accept stories that require registration. Only they make an exception for the NY Times because they'd been using it for so long?

  2. Re:May I offer some advice? on Slashback: Epson, AbiWord, Justification · · Score: 1

    Paypal knows where you live.

  3. Re:Would you listen to yourself? on Never Mind The 25th Anniversary · · Score: 1


    1. You still have your head up your ass.

    2. I'll put your head in a milk bottle.

    3. Numbering self-righteous points also sucks.

    4. See Number 2.

  4. Re:Hate Nsync? Hate Sex Pistols? on Never Mind The 25th Anniversary · · Score: 1

    as much as I loved the Ramones, they were just too damn strung out and wasted for the concert...It was damn near impossible to tell one song from any of the others....

    So what part of the Ramones don't you understand?

  5. Re:Whatever, I have a cell phone on Telcos Play Both Sides of Telemarketing War · · Score: 1

    Try looking up cell phone telemarketers on google. Having a cell phone isn't going to stop them at all.

  6. Re:Cartoon Network Anime on Adult Swim Revamps; Removes Most Anime · · Score: 1

    I think that was discussed on an old /. interview. I had figured they'd cut a lot of stuff out on the CN anime, but the guy they talked to said they really try not to cut anything. Just a bit of blood, and some swearing.

    Hopefully someone will post a reply calling me an idiot and give the guys name and the URL.

  7. Re:Another Aritcle on Adult Swim Revamps; Removes Most Anime · · Score: 1

    "Since we began Adult Swim, the goal was to build it into an across-the-schedule franchise," says Jim Samples, Cartoon Network's executive vice president and general manager. "Now we have the depth in our Adult Swim programming portfolio to make it happen."

    I heard that's why they killed off Space Ghost and Cartoon Planet originally. It was drawing in us 20s-30s which was not the intended audience.

    Are kids not buying enough stuff these days? Or are they working off old market research that say we all work for dotcoms and make $100,000 a year? So now we're the intended product. I wonder how long that's going to last...

  8. Re:Sweet! on Roll-Up Monitors A Step Closer To Reality · · Score: 1

    And waking up to spam in the middle of the night because you know they'll find out how to do it.

    Stars replaced by Nigerian offers and penis implants! And life-size pr0n pop-ups...

    I can't wait!

  9. Re:Huh? on Slashback: BitKeeper, Maine, Novell · · Score: 5, Informative

    The article says that the Gates Foundation kicked in a million dollar grant, and that the state of Maine thought, rightfully so, that Apple was a better product.

    A quote, "The bids were roughly similar in price, but the iBook had a greater value than the other laptops".

    I'm sure Gates will be a bit more careful in the future and add stuff like "Here's a million dollars worth of M$ stuff".

  10. Golly, just 99 cents! on Burn A Song For 99 Cents · · Score: 1

    Since the cost of a major label making an entire CD is only 80 cents, it's a deal!

    Yeah, slightly sarcastic. Now I can have people explain the costs of actually making and marketing a record. And the costs of distribution. Then someone can say the record only costs a major label 79 cents, and then someone can say, "No, it's 72 cents", and then an arguement over that...

    Nevermind. Pretend I didn't hit submit.

  11. take out the CDR and put in something close on Ebay vs. Musician · · Score: 1

    I'm sure eBay is just looking for CD-R (and variations) and yanking them. I've had plenty of problems with eBay (the most recent being me giving away a friend's memorial instead of selling it, but I had that one coming. He was in a band called the Fuckboyz and after the auction ended, eBay also sent a notice saying they were moving it to mature audiences.).

    Any cd-rs I put on eBay will be labeled as a "CD Arrgh" with an explanation. I'm sure that will miss their search. I'm in a small Star Trek punk band and don't like the RIAA.

  12. Re:Rehash! on San Diego Company Owns E-Commerce · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'll read through the original two posts that /. posted on this story, and repeat all the high ranking comments. Man oh man, I'll be famous.

    I've patented that idea, so don't make me sue anyone.

  13. Re:Canada is 5th? on U.S. Ranks 17th in Freedom of the Press · · Score: 5, Funny

    As the Feederz said, "When you're being sodomized, who cares if it's from the Right or the Left".

  14. Re:Disagree on Small Webcasters get Powerful New Ally · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You is talking about that there ower-Tay. Here in Sacto, Lord High King of ower-Tay, word is the suits have spent all the money on coke (the snorting kind, not the drinking kind).

    In /. speak:

    1. Sell records
    2. Build Kilimanjaro with coke
    3. Make it an empty mountain
    3. Beowulf cluster
    4. ...
    5. Profit!

  15. Re:Say you're Canadian on Visiting the World, as a Geek? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I'm just making that up. Why don't you go to any other country and say you're American? I'm sure you'd get your ass kicked in England.

    I don't think there's a country on Earth that doesn't have a beef with America.

    Jen was walking down the street and got surrounded. Someone said, "where are you from?" She said, "Canada". They said okay and left. But as you say, since only militant Muslims attack. I'm sure Fox will have a teevee special about that soon.

    There's 150 Australians fighting with the US in Afghanistan. Maybe that pissed someone off.

  16. Say you're Canadian on Visiting the World, as a Geek? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm guessing you're American because I'm lazy. I know plenty of people who have traveled around the world, and when people ask them where they are from, they say "Canada". No one thinks of Canada as much of anything (Sorry, Canadians). People I know with Canadian and US citizenship who live here, travel with their Canadian passport. Worldwide, Canada is just another country the US picks on.

    A friend of mine has been living in India for a while and that's kept her from getting her ass kicked. Don't wear American t-shirts, too.

    I'm sure there's so many responses that you won't read this, and it'll probably be given a 1 so you'll never notice it.

  17. big apple on Apple Won't Be At Macworld Boston · · Score: 2, Funny

    So I'm looking through waiting for the Big Apple puns, and I don't see any. Get to work, you guys.

  18. Re:If hollywood goes out of buisness on Star Wars Producer Says Box Office is Doomed · · Score: 1

    Wow, fancy you. Living in California. I bet you have actors all around you. Waiting tables, working in video stores, washing dishes.

    Oh wait, I live in California. I've got actors surrounding me doing data entry. Luckily, I'm Mister Fancy Pants IT guy and make more then the actors.

    Most actors aren't making $200,000. They have day jobs and work on the side. You've got an obnoxious few who make money acting, but they're a minority.

  19. Re:The relationship destroyer on Bugbear Windows Virus Making the Rounds · · Score: 1


    I'd love to see a page with nothing but forwarded emails sent from bugbear. So far the only ones I've gotten where pretty lame (although one was about the Zapatistas). I remember being glad when I'd get stuff sent to me from klez and checking out what info I got sent. No nekkid pics, but a resume.

  20. the beowulf was in Pay To See on Simpsons on the Silver Screen · · Score: 1

    Written by ackthpt, current score 2.

    "The downside is, unless Matt brings in a ton of animators or turns the background over to a Beowulf cluster (I can just imagine that...) of renderers, the show doesn't gain anything cinematic, so big screen, eh!"

    You knew it was in there and just didn't look...

  21. with an all star cast on Simpsons on the Silver Screen · · Score: 1

    I heard it was Don Knotts as Granpa, Gallagher as Homer, Julia Roberts as Marge, that Culkin brat as Bart, Lucy from 7th Heaven as Lisa , and the CGI animated baby as Maggie. Oh, and the Olson Twins as the twins.

    No wait, I like Don Knotts. I meant Strom Thurmond.

  22. Re:You are the stupidest person I've ever met on 22lb Ice Blocks From the Sky · · Score: 1

    I am rather dumb, ain't I? Sorry, I haven't been too funny after the stroke.

    I mispelled her name, and I knew she was Brazilian (hey, aren't we all), but try naming a Spanish pop star who anyone outside of the Iberian Peninsula knows about.

  23. sorry, that fell from my giant scotch glass on 22lb Ice Blocks From the Sky · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah, that was the first place I looked, but it's no good. Even doing a search on all the cached stuff google has on Armadillo, they don't have the page that talks about the flight.

    At least none that I could find.

    Help me Obi Wan, you're my only hope...
