  1. Huh? on Baseball Fans Must Pay To Listen Online · · Score: 1

    You mean people CARE about this sport?

  2. *snicker* on Suing Over... Fans? · · Score: 2

    Are you kidding? To lawyers and corporations, lawsuits like this are a breeze. As long as they get paid, they'll be "fans" of this.

    Group B sues A. Wants A to give up rights to name. Worried about confusion.

    Isn't this what happened last time?
    About all they did was switch names on the original lawsuit and sides in the court room.

  4. Actually... on 100 Years of Radio · · Score: 2

    I've lost the link, but the USSC recognises Tesla as the inventor of Radio. There's a lot more to the mess than you'd think.

    Of course, If you have Tesla's album Great Radio Controversy, read the liner notes. :D

  5. Dual G4's look cool. on A Basket Full of Apple News · · Score: 1

    I have a acquaintance in the publishing biz who just got a dual-G4 machine. I *think* he's running OSX on it, and did load rc5 to benchmark it. something like 4mil keys/sec per processor.

    Considering my lousy machine makes maybe 400k per sec, I'm in awe.

  6. Round and Round she goes... on U.S. Supreme Court Issues Election Ruling · · Score: 1

    When we'll stop, no one knows.

    The Supreme Court merely told the Florida court they didn't have the authority to extend the counting deadline, and wanted an explainition of where they had the authority. Sounded honest to me.

  7. no 6000 at all, guys on 3DFX Not Quitting Video Card Business · · Score: 1

    Wrong, slashdot. The voodoo5 6000 will not be sold to gamers at all. Never. It's a higher end card now.

    I still say 3dfx blew it.

  8. Heinlein Sucks on Stranger In a Strange Land · · Score: 1

    The problem with Heinlen is it all starts sounding like the same plot. Super-Educated, Busty Redheaded ladies have passionate sex with moderately well educated but fierce warror male types. Any female in a Heinlein book is willing, and eager to please.

    Oh yeah, then there's the fluff about philosophy and math and religion and other stuff he pads the sex scenes out with. I've read a lot of his work, and his kids books are about all I could recommend. Job was pointless, Stranger (both versions read) nothing changed in. So everyone in Jubal's household marries each other and they have a group marrage. Yay. Time Enough for love is Heinlein's wet drea... I mean Lazarus Long's biography.

    You think this one is bad? Try reading his incestfest called Time Enough For Love.

    By the way... please name one other product Microsoft has controlled forever where their product and their primary competitive product is free and easily downloaded on the web. Windows VS Linux... Linux is good, but I don't see it taking over that fast. Or why are games Ported to linux but written for Win98?

  11. now? on TurboLinux Files for IPO · · Score: 1

    An IPO in this stage of the game? Why? From what I've seen, it just opens you up to failure that much faster. Or to put it another way, how many Linux based companies are making a profit?

  12. No Thanks, Katz on Should You Care About Politics? · · Score: 1

    Cyberpunk is fun to read. I don't want to live it.

    I think it's time we got up and started doing something about how this political mess is going. If we don't, who will?

  14. Mir = Televangelist? on Mir Lives · · Score: 1

    Why does this remind me of Oral Roberts? "Donate $4 Million or God will call me home!" is that any better than "Mir Crashes into the Pacific unless we get more money!"

    Someone gave Roberts his money, and so did Mir. Personally, it seems everyone is waiting for to see if God really will call Mir home.

    Okay. Letting corporations run things is a Bad Idea. We figured that out. How about we all get together and tell the other people? You know, those other people around you?

    So how long would it take some clever fellow to write a virus for outlook which emails copies of all the users mail to, say Iran or Russia or China, then deletes them off their computer?

    That might get their attention.

    Ever since I first read about this service,I was wondering how in the heck they'd justify the copyright violations? Radio Stations pay fees to do it.

    Right. It's a neat idea, one who's time might be coming, but they should have known that Big Media wouldn't give up their cash cow without a fight. Get your head out of the sand.

    I read the story last week, but the group which annoited Gnome the default hasn't actually done any work on it. I'd rather see what, if anything comes of that. I'm surprised to see so many Linux spokesmen jumping to conclusions. It's no where near time to start planning the wake, guys.

    Kinda funny. I tried downloading Helix gnome, and couldn' get it to install. It keeps barfing on the last step, telling me I'm outta room on my HD. Next time I reinstall, I'll probably install just KDE.
