  1. Re:He's off the mark. on Dvorak Trashes Modern Gaming Industry · · Score: 1

    I think you are a little off the mark with this statement:
    the new fangled 21st century media, the video game

    It is not new or even of the 21st century and there is no proof that it will be the media of the century. Something is very likely to replace it; after all, we have another 95 years.

  2. Re:This is waaaaay overblown... on Wal-Mart Parody Site Censored by DMCA · · Score: 1

    They grey area is who gets to judge if it is parody, criticism, and/or commentary? I could rip someone's site off to sell my product and cry "parody" when they come knocking.

    If the student had at least made some sort of disclaimer effort, the line would be much sharper in this case.

  3. Re:When will India/China/Brazil/Russia enter the r on Airbus A380 Completes Maiden Test Flight · · Score: 1

    Before my father retired, he worked with the FAA. After examining multiple Russian (Soviet-era) built commercial aircraft, he came to the conclusion that he would never ride in one. They were using vacuum tubes and some of the superstructures contained wood framing. I don't know if this is still the case.

  4. Re:Wow on Dell to Get Into Cell Phones in 2006 · · Score: 1

    The markets may be somewhat saturated, but for Dell to keep the Axim competitive, they have to move it into the mobile market as handheld gadgets converge. The only other choice would be drop the product.

  5. Mirror Anyone? on SCO Missing 16,209 Files? · · Score: 1

    One helpful Groklaw reader went so far as to put up this analysis of the complaint on his Web site and quickly had his server turned into a smoldering pile of ashes after the link was posted on Slashdot.

    Is there a mirror anywhere?

  6. Re:640 MB/sec on First 500 Terabytes Transmitted via LHCGlobal Grid · · Score: 1

    Just think, in a few years your wrist watch will be able to handle this data flow.

  7. What happens on China Announces Unix-compatible Server OS · · Score: 2, Funny

    FTA: "Few human interfere during the installation process is required."

    What happens to you if you do interfere?

  8. Beowolf = My Dad??? on Opera CEO Prepares to Swim across the Atlantic · · Score: 1

    ...uphill both ways, in 6th of snow, and with shoes made out of gophers.

  9. Re:Well... on Canadian ISP to Name Music Swappers · · Score: 1

    I'd be interested to hear how many Slashdotters can claim to have Celine Dion in their music collections.

  10. Re:No on Moore's Law Original Issue Found · · Score: 1

    I wish my wife was one of those who wanted a minmal wedding.

  11. No on Moore's Law Original Issue Found · · Score: 1

    "...the real expense is the bride..."

    No, the real expense is what the bride wants to spend. I don't know many women who are going to settle for the *minimal* when it comes to their wedding.

  12. Well... on Canadian ISP to Name Music Swappers · · Score: 3, Funny

    Better delete all my illegal Anne Murray and Paul Anka MP3s.

  13. Re:Squeeze in the code releases before the launch on NASA Postpones Shuttle Launch · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Users always make the best testers... although, the stakes here are a little higher than a wrong account ballance or missing ATM transaction.

  14. Good Idea on Apollo 13 Engineers to be Honored · · Score: 4, Funny

    Congratulations to the Apollo 13 engineers.

    They should do something like this every year. They have the Grammies, Emmys, etc., why not the Nerdies? They could use Slashdot sections as the categories.

  15. Search History (Beta) for [my account]@gmail.com on Google Adds Search History Feature · · Score: 1

    Welcome to My Search History!?????

    I, for one, welcome our new Internet overlords.

  16. Not Ameritrade's Fault? on Ameritrade Customer Data Lost · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Further blaming the shipping company, she explained that "this was not an Ameritrade Systems issue or a compromise of our technology. This was related to a third party vendor."

    No, it's an Ameritrade-picking-a-bad-vendor issue. It is still ultimately Ameritrade's fault.

  17. Google Beta = "The Internet" on Google's Impact on the Internet · · Score: 5, Funny

    Google IS the internet

    To my 9 yo son, the name of the company is "Google Beta".

  18. Re:If I paid fees to attend the lecture... on iPods Valuable in the College Classroom? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Replace "lecture" with "movie" and see if your theory still applies.

    A movie, book, song, etc., is a creative work of value to be sold. Lectures are public domain just like free and open speech in a public arena. BTW - This comment is Copyright (c) 2005 lbm.

  19. Re:Browser Comparison on Opera 8 Released · · Score: 1

    A good user community that doesn't exist solely to bash other browsers

    Apparently you are not part of that community?

  20. And... on We're Open enough, Says Microsoft · · Score: 1

    ...my wife is sort of pregnant.

  21. Great on U.S. Military's Hackers · · Score: 4, Funny

    Geeks in uniforms. Isn't best Buy already trying this?

  22. pr0n Heaven on Google Readies Platform for Video Distribution · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Wonder if there is any EULA that covers what can be uploaded.

  23. Linux Doesn't Kill Windows on Linux Can't Kill Windows · · Score: 0

    Linux doesn't kill Windows,
    Windows kills Windows.

  24. Al Gore's Paper on Randomly Generated Paper Accepted to Conference · · Score: 1

    Gore can claim he invented E-Voting. After all, his paper was published by MIT.

  25. I have a way... on How to Prevent IP Theft by Your Own Employees? · · Score: 1

    ... but my employer has patented it.
