  1. Re:Hot steam on Fighting Back Against EULAs · · Score: 1

    Sometimes you can open a glue-sealed thing by freezing it first. Often, you can even reseal it nicely later.

  2. which stupid "mars" movie on Encoding DNA as Music for Copyrighting? · · Score: 1

    did this dorky idea come from? Red Planet maybe? Can't remember...because the movie sucked and the idea does, too.

  3. What a bunch of Krunk! on Larsen Ice Shelf Collapses · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Also sad sad horrible news: the sky is falling, Pippy Longstocking's stripes are fading, Popeye's spinach is genetically altered, and computer monitors are making women grow mustaches.

    This dude wants us to believe he's an expert because he's been a Greenpeace nut for 10 years. Some people have been in asylums for 10 years, that doesn't make them experts on much more than pudding.

    Finally...who cares?! This story is such krunk. It's a prime example of the crap that makes me wonder why I bother with Slashdot. I hate browsing, so I prefer to visit a few bookmarked places...maybe time to bookmark something decent. Maybe this will be place I go. "news" for nerds??

  4. Nice picture! on A Timeline of the Future · · Score: 0

    "Reader ricst lists some of Pearson's predictions"... that may be true. But Reader ricst posted a freaky picture of himself on his site!

  5. Re:Ominous signs ? on Buy John Romero's Ferrari On EBay · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Check out this other fancy car
    Not my taste, but the guy is well-meaning (we work at the same place) and I hope he succeeds.

  6. Re:What about the Digital Camera port of DOOM? on The History of Doom On All Systems · · Score: 1

    Doesn't seem like Digita has picked up any camera manufacturer support in a long time. Too bad, it was looking like a cool platform. http://digita.mame.net/

  7. Other OS ideas that have flopped... on "Lindows" Coming Soon? · · Score: 1

    Various failed OS marketing ideas. Most failed for obvious reasons:

    RancherOS - one for the Classic Ford lover

    HohOS - an OS for the snack lover

    JimbOS - included free with any entree on the children's menu

    JojOS - $2.99 per CD at 7/11 (AOL 7.0 included free!)

    HohOS 2.0 - after 1st failure, repacked for the modern hooker

    Sodo MojOS - this OS giveaway not as popular as Ichiro bobblehead dolls

    CherriOS - a good way to boot the day

    YugOS - from the shores of the Adriatic Sea, the life of this jem was cut short by the war in Bosnia

    EgOS - bundled with apps which flatter the narcissistic user

    EscargOS - appealed to a few French Canadians

    JellOS - for the geek who already has many OS's...there's always room for this one

    MangOS - this flamboyantly gay OS didn't even make a decent SNL skit

    BingOS - also, a version for traveling businessmen called HighwayBingOS

    RambOS - don't mess with this OS!

    LarryCurlyMOS - the components fought amongst eachother (usually bringing down your wallboard)

    CheetOS - somehow your fingertips turn orange when using this one

    DingOS - very popular...until babies started disappearing from homes all across the Australian outback

    BozOS - a commercial flop, yet still a successful seller amongst Democrat Congressmen

    TicTacTOS - companies running this OS will never go out of business...but neither will they make a profit

    OreOS - had only one excellent feature sandwhiched between 2 boring ones

    MentOS - an excellent OS, but killed by a ridiculous marketing campaign

    LegOS - too pricey for the intended market (boys 5-15), but sold fairly well to the 25-35 geek male crowd

    ZorrOS - a lousy OS, but came bundled with Catherine Zeta Jones desktop wallpaper

    WeirdOS - later remarketed as Windows!!

  8. Block an ad, land in jail? on Advertisers Escalate Banner Ad War · · Score: 1

    In a sense, a web page is software that I'm downloading. So, if I alter this software for my purposes, would I be circumventing it's original intent? For example, I might block ads with some tool. But would I then be violating the DMCA?
