  1. Re:Boxee on ABC/Disney Considering Hulu · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The PlayOn media server lets me stream Hulu and other content providers to my TV via upnp/DLNA. It's a $40 product (ie commercial product) and as far as I know, Hulu has not raised a stink about them.

  2. Re:Storage Envy on Internet Archive Gets 4.5PB Data Center Upgrade · · Score: 1

    Why don't you have a seat over there...

  3. Re:Easy solution on Internet-Caused Mistrials Are On the Rise · · Score: 2, Informative

    An iPod could easily have a news podcast on it.

  4. Re:Cash + assets = $6M on Sun In Talks To Be Acquired By IBM · · Score: 1

    The market valued them as a standalone entity. The 100% premium reflects IBM's assessment of what Sun is worth as a part of IBM. This is a proper use of the word "synergy."

  5. Re:Still waiting for adblock :( on 2.0 Beta Chrome On Windows, Chromium On Linux · · Score: 1

    I don't want to come off sounding like a troll, but are you that frail that the sight of an ad will bring you great mental stress?

  6. Re:BATFE is redundant on Rocket Hobbyists Prevail Over Feds In Court Case · · Score: 1

    There used to be a closed-end investment fund called Morgan Funshares that invested in alcohol, tobacco and firearms companies.

  7. Re:Where this can really bite someone on Service Via Facebook Shouldn't Always "Count" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is bigger than Facebook. I supposedly have a verizon.net email address since I signed up for FIOS. I have no clue what that email address is since I've been using Gmail and other services for years. Who knows what kinds of messages are sitting in that never-opened inbox; maybe even a subpoena, but I'd never know.

  8. Re:Who wants this? on Apple Touch-Screen Netbook? · · Score: 1

    I used a wireless notebook in college to take notes. It was dirt cheap, lasted the entire day, and this was back in 1994-1998.

  9. Re:Duh, what's new? They're Fox on What Has Fox Got Against Its Own Sci-Fi Shows? · · Score: 1

    They did the same gag again on Sunday with another batch of canceled Fox shows (all the horses in a race were named after canceled shows). Then, you hear a woman scream to Peter, "your horse killed my baby!!!" So, apparently Family Guy can now get away with killing babies because that's how bad Fox screwed up cancelling them twice before!

  10. Re:xbox live has terrible terms of service on Gamer Claims Identifying As a Lesbian Led To Xbox Live Ban · · Score: 1

    I get away just fine with Magnum Lambskin. They only look at the words and not the context it seems.

  11. Re:No hulu for boxee means... on Boxee Drops Hulu Support · · Score: 1

    Let's take this a step further...our children will only learn to watch video programming in an on-demand fashion. They will laugh at the idea of broadcast, or "push TV," as I like to call it.

  13. Re:It's already on youtube, no silverlight! on I'm a PC and I'm 4-1/2 · · Score: 1

    Oh please. Death isn't the handicap it used to be. Lots of people have died and gone on to do great things!

  14. Re:popcornhour rules on Build a BoxeeBox and Wean Yourself From Cable · · Score: 1

    Install the PlayOn media server on a Windows PC. It's a DLNA server that will stream Hulu and your Netflix queue to any DLNA client. I've used it with Boxee, Xbox 360 and Apple TV w/XBMC. It's a one-time fee of $30, but so handy for so many devices!

  15. Re:Bill Gates? on Microsoft Accused of Squandering Billions On R&D · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    hmmmm...this gives me an idea.

    IS THIS REALITY?

    (ok, you know what to do next!)

  16. 90% of the posts here... on CBS Hosts Ad-Funded TV Series, Incl. Original Star Trek · · Score: 1

    ...are going to be expressions of righteous indignation and showings-off of how their ad-blocking software and proxies prevent them from viewing the free programming that CBS provides. Time to warm up the wahhhhhmbulance.

  17. Re:Net Neutrality on ESPN's Play To Make ISPs Pay · · Score: 1

    You don't have commercials on your cable system...no commercials at all?

  18. Re:That's why Adblock plus exists ! on Why Your Pop-Up Blocker Doesn't Work Anymore · · Score: 1

    Looks perfectly acceptable to me. Technically, that's not a pop-up. I think of pop-ups as entirely separate windows...that is built into the page and is no different than someone just having really bad ideas about the layout of their content.

  19. Re:Aged badly on Red Dwarf To Return, Find Earth · · Score: 1

    The "t" is silent...

  20. The average Slashdotter... on Scientists "Teleport" Quantum Information One Meter · · Score: 1

    ...can teleport his entire genetic code several inches. Oh look, there goes an acrobat!

    A racist stereotype of...a cat? In all the years Red Dwarf has been around, I have heard *not one* complaint from the cat community, yet you claim to have some greater insight?

    I am unanimous in that!

  23. Re:In other words... on UK Government Abandons Piracy Legislation · · Score: 1

    You pay for the soap with your room fee; you can take it home with you. Now, if you take all the furniture and leave all the soap in a neat little pile on the bare floor...well, that's just hilarious.

  24. Re:Just stop watching TV on Most Hackable Coupon-Eligible DTV Converter? · · Score: 1

    Hey, I think I read about you on The Onion! I'd provide a link to the article, but the meme of providing the article link in response to posts like this got old a while ago.

    Having your beer cold is your first problem...what the hell is it hiding that requires the temperature to be turned down to numb?
