  1. Re:I don't think so on FEC Extending Election Regulation to the Internet · · Score: 1
    "If you want to influence our politics, you should at lease do so within our legal framework."

    -- Manuel Noriega, c 1989

  2. Re:Homebrew Cases on Was the Mac mini Intended to Have an iPod dock? · · Score: 1

    Reading the article, on the other hand, would have told you that there is already enough empty space inside the mini case to fit an iPod dock. Fitting a dock in there may make the case less "cool", but not any less "mini".

  3. Re:Your parents called.... on TrekUnited Reports Mission Successful at Trek Rallies · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yes. A much better use would be to design a cyborg assassin with an Austrian accent and send it back in time to kill Rick Berman before he became involved in Star Trek TNG.

  4. Re:"Imagine Google on iTunes" on University Launches Semantic Web Interface · · Score: 1

    No, that was very clearly a Google on iTunes. It's all in how you noun verbed nouns, you see.

    Imagine Google on iTunes

    Okay.

    Somehow I don't feel enlightened.

  6. Re:www.torrentspy.com on BitTorrent Community After SuprNova Shutdown · · Score: 2, Funny

    So that would be "No logins. No bs. No database server."

  7. Re:I'm willing to change on The State of Linux Gaming · · Score: 1
    "I've never been able to get Dance Dance Revolution on a PC"

    A PC version of DDR was released three years ago. It's a bit hard to find now, but I believe you can still download a demo from Konami.

  8. Uh, yeah. on Which Linux for Professional Admins? · · Score: 1

    Why don't you ask a nice, simple question like "Which is better? Star Trek, Star Wars or Battlestar Galactica?" I'm sure that a large enough group of respondants should be able to come up with a straightforward answer to that too.

  9. Re:faster?!? on Mac mini to PC Hack · · Score: 1

    Although you may be surprised to hear this on /., there are more important things in life than spanking it with your laptop.

  10. Paging Ronan Harris... Paging Ronan Harris on New Intel Trademark Filed · · Score: 1

    Or maybe what they really want to do is start a new campaign based on the slogan "Intel VNV Nation" and this is just a first step.

    It could happen.

  11. Re:A fight to the death? on A House Divided: UWB's Double Standards · · Score: 1

    Only if you played the "Fight Music" from the original Star Trek while they were having it out.

  12. Or maybe.. on Oregon's Governor Backs Open Source Development · · Score: 1

    Oregon is angling for some _really big_ discounts from Microsoft.

  13. Re:Capitalist Overtones on China Bans 50 Games · · Score: 1

    Probably to prevent half the country from playing it all day, causing productivity to drop by 30%.

  14. Re:I'm interested on MS To Limit Security Fixes to Legal Copies of Windows · · Score: 0
    "Anybody who claims they don't have an extra 30 minutes to spare in the day is either kidding themselves, or doesn't have time to use the computer in the first place."

    It takes even less time to read the articles on /. before commenting, but do you see anybody doing that?

  15. Re:This is old news ... on Through The Steve Ballmer Looking Glass · · Score: 1

    Or into a global monopoly with the trots.

    It's just about the same thing.

  16. Re:Remeber diablo 2? on No More Players for World of Warcraft - For Now · · Score: 1
    "3 months of subscription was ending up costing more than I paid for the damn game!"

    I think you just answered your own question. Selling boxes is _not_ where the big bucks in MMORPGs are made.

  17. Re:Too much Southpark? on No More Players for World of Warcraft - For Now · · Score: 1

    World of Warcraft was developed by Blizzard and published by Vivendi. What on earth does EA have to do with this?

  18. Re:Holy mother of all that is good, NO! on Are Extensible Programming Languages Coming? · · Score: 1

    No, I think the original was better. It gave a more detailed example of what the language was capable of.

  19. Re: What? on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 1
    I'm supposed to let the mouth-breathing, troglodytic masses who can't be bothered to learn what an allele is have a say in the science education in public schools?

    Why not? They already selected your government.

  20. Re:what a process! on Microsoft Releases Malicious Software Removal Tool · · Score: 1

    I think that's only if you are trying to scan a SCSI drive.

  21. Re:Releasing code? on Wish Cancelled · · Score: 4, Informative

    I don't know the inside details, but they opened up their beta test to something like 10,000 people on January 1st while promising 58,000 more that they would get in as the week progressed.

    Eight days later the project is cancelled.

    Sounds like somebody got their first bandwidth bill.

    In the gaming world today almost nobody actually owns the code they work with so pipe dreams like GPLing failed projects just won't happen. The $100,000 that you paid to license somebody else's middleware only give you the right to use it for a year, not to give away the source code for free. Ripping out all the proprietary, licensed bits means a lot of hard work for absolutely no return on the investment.

    The people who pay for this kind of development really hate footing the bill for that kind of thing.

  22. Re:I like it...! on A Scanner Darkly Sneak-Peek · · Score: 1

    Maybe youjust need more Dick

  23. Re:Thank goodness for TrackBack on LiveJournal Buyout Confirmed · · Score: 1
    Putting a giant aluminum spoiler on the back of your Honda Civic along with a set of purple lights under the body and a "Type R" sticker on the back is a damned handy modification. It's done by many of the more "professional" automotive enthusiasts and it's a great tool for making your car go faster.

    Hmm. Somehow saying that doesn't make it any more true either. Endless "trackback" listings are still the annoying Type R stickers of the Internet.

    If you would rather be an object that's fine too.

  25. Re:Unneeded comment on 2004 Indie Games of the Year · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No, it's supposed to give you something to reply to without having to go to all the bother of reading the article.

    Didn't it work?
