  1. Re:Everyman? on Does ZFS Obsolete Expensive NAS/SANs? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I ripped most of my collection back in the OS9 pre-iPod iTunes days. Now that I have a kid and a house to take care of, I don't think I'll be re-ripping unless the computer dies. No judgement, just different priorities for me now. Peace

  2. New motorcycle on iPod Casualties Offer New-In-Box Bargains · · Score: 1

    For the love of $diety, please wear a helmet and decent riding gear. Helmet wearing was the difference between my sister-in-law living and her husband dying in a motorcycle accident last August.

  3. Re:Everyman? on Does ZFS Obsolete Expensive NAS/SANs? · · Score: 1

    150 GB of MP3s? That's on the order of 3,600 albums.

  4. Postal Service video on Apple Sues Over iGasm Ads · · Score: 1

    As I recall, the same design studio made both the TPS video and the Apple ad, so blame the design firm not Apple. The design firm basically ripped off themselves.

    One thing that I noticed was when that "Scandal" broke TPS was on the front page of the iTMS for about a week.

    Name calling really won't get you anything but modded down, Apple or not.

  5. Thickness on Intel Prototypes World's Thinnest Laptop · · Score: 1

    When things get under an inch, small differences make a big difference in how it feels in you hands. Compare a 1st Gen iPod vs a current one. There's a huge difference in the feel of it.

  6. Seasonal laptops on Intel Prototypes World's Thinnest Laptop · · Score: 1

    Yeah, if it's white or black, women will need to buy two laptops, white for summer and black for fall/winter. Can't be caught using a white laptop after Labor Day, you know (US Seasons and holidays, no silly comments from the Aussies and Kiwis, OK?).

  7. Apple's move to x86 and Linux on Spyware Still Cheating Merchants · · Score: 1

    OS X is based on BSD, not Linux

  8. Re:Oh no! It's ice 9! on Strange Alien World Made of "Hot Ice" · · Score: 1

    Ever since he shaved his head, I've wondered about him.

  9. Neil Peart Drum Hero Kit on Seven Tracks for 80s Guitar Hero Announced · · Score: 1

    He's certainly worthy, but I'd hate to see he controller, It'd have to have what, 80 pads on it?

  10. Re:"A Chip on DVDs Could Prevent Theft" on A Chip on DVDs Could Prevent Theft · · Score: 1

    All of your comments are true, especially with regards to small time theft. Do you think it will actually lower prices?

    I give it a probability about the same as Bill Gates running Redhat.

  11. Re:Because he's a loose cannon. on Resolution To Impeach VP Cheney Submitted · · Score: 1

    All that you said is true, but he was correct about everything RE: Iraq, WMD, Iran.

  12. Re:A Masterpiece on Spinal Tap to Reunite for Live Earth · · Score: 1
    It's part of a trilogy, a four part trilogy really...

    The two word review ("Shit Sandwich") was for their album Shark Sandwich, not Lick My Lovepump. That was the beautiful piano ballad in D-minor (the saddest of all the keys).
  13. Re:Single parent of a 15 Year Old Daughter on Is Your Printer Ripping You Off? · · Score: 1

    Is this /. or Savage Love http://www.avclub.com/content/savagelove? === ALERT! ADULT CONTENT=== I'm confused.

  14. Re:NO NO NO NO NO on The Gigahertz Race is Back On · · Score: 1
    Isn't Bugatti a VW brand? Yes, it is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugatti_Automobiles_S AS.

    Yes, Ford engines for the most part, do suck, but at least get the fact straight.

    Yeah those Ford engines sure do suck.
  15. Re:Santa Rosa surpasses Napa? Since when? on Intel Spills Beans On Santa Rosa Notebook Platform · · Score: 1

    Gilroy - comes with free garlic scent!

  16. Re:Hrm..... on Apple Delays Leopard to October · · Score: 1

    I think they'll call iLife '07 iLife Leopard Edition to get away from the year business (it's so late ninties, isn't it?)

  17. Re:Leopard Delay - no big deal for most users on Apple Delays Leopard to October · · Score: 1

    Unless they've fixed the color depth issue with LCD back lights, you certainly won't see them on MB Pros.

  18. Re:Welcome to slashdot on Organism Survives 100 Million Years Without Sex · · Score: 1

    Redundant penis? Is that like a penis array? A Redundant Array of Inexpensive Penises? Wait... that doesn't sound right...



    I saw an anime once that had something like that.

  19. Re:Yum? on Colossal Squid Landed Intact In Antarctica · · Score: 1

    Ammonia has a boiling point of 34C or 36C doesn't it?

    Cook it enough and the ammonia should go by-by (especially if you cut it into small enough pieces)

    For a second there I thought you were talking about bras.

  20. Remastered FMJ on iTunes Sales 'Collapsing' · · Score: 1

    Shame. I'd like to see that when it gets released. I remember the first time I saw that movie. After Pvt. Pyle meets his fate, I thought "Wow, that was good", there was a whole another havf left.

  21. Re:How many times do we have to say it? on How They Make LEGO Bricks · · Score: 1

    Well, the SCRABBLE tiles are all caps, so the name should be too. (Wonders if copycat scrabble sets are lower case)

  22. Real World on No Business Case for HDTV? · · Score: 1

    Wasn't London like season 4 or 5? They're making Season 12 of the Real World. Good lord, where will it be next? Helena MT?

  23. My feeling exactly! on No Business Case for HDTV? · · Score: 1

    I can't believe that Canadians DON'T want the Stanley Cup or the Grey cup in HD. Then again, most of the NHL teams ae in the USA, so maybe they don't care.

  24. Re:To clarify... on Are More Choices Really Better? · · Score: 1

    At first, I liked the MS bashing in the TFA, especially when Mac OS X does it with much more style. The more I thought about it the 15 choices he thinks up, the more it fell apart.

    15 choices: Not everyone has a laptop keyboard so subtract 4 choices
    11 choices:

    Close lid/Sleep: hardware/software to make the PC sleep
    Power Button/Shut Down: hardware/software to power PC off
    Log Off: I'm done with my PC for now, but keep it running

    Lock: I need to go do something else, keep my programs running, I'll be right back
    Switch user: same as above, but let another user log in if needed.
    These two could be combined like he says

    Lock button and power button left of the arrow: I'm guessing if he moused over the button, it would tell him what the button does.

    Hibernate/Sleep: Why there has to be a difference between these two, I don't know

    Having just read "Footfall", I for one welcome our new double-trunked pachyderm overlords.

    Didn't they just get voted out of office?
