  1. Re:If P2P is made illegal, then.. on RIAA, MPAA Ask High Court To Review P2P Decision · · Score: 1

    Mowing dirty words into the lawns of people I don't like. Just because it's petty vandalism doens't mean it's not a crime.

  2. Re:No Remote? on Ars Reviews AirPort Express · · Score: 1

    I should've been clearer, but that's what I meant- iTunes stops playing when the user who's running it isn't the user who has the focus of fast user switching (although the rest of the apps keep running, as designed). Therefore, it can't be done, at least with OS X 10.3.4 + FUS + iTunes 4.6.

  3. Re:No Remote? on Ars Reviews AirPort Express · · Score: 1

    iTunes stops playing when it's owner isn't logged in on my PowerBook, so that won't work. Not a bad idea, though, and if it's super important to you, you could run virtual OS's on your machine, each with iTunes playing. VirtualPC + Win32 iTunes?

  4. Re:Developer, Analyst, Sysadmin...My Music on IT's Musical Habits · · Score: 1

    I guess it means that you're an individual, and thus your personal musical quirks, like most random pecadillos, don't tell random slashdotters a damn thing about anything.

    But I nailed the 80's thing, right?

  5. Re:Developer, Analyst, Sysadmin...My Music on IT's Musical Habits · · Score: 1

    That after you graduated in the 80's (but not from the 80's), you made a playlist and then your 12 year old daughter fucked it up. HTH. HAND.

  6. Re:It's economics really... on Are Mac Users Smarter than PC Users? · · Score: 1

    Actually, it took ... my um, friend... about 3 hours on bittorrent, in the meanwhile, um- he, my friend, played with GIMP and still found it to not be worth the re-learning curve. But it does work, should you want to conform to society's scruples.

  7. Re:Brightstor on Backup Tapes: Alive And Kicking · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's all warm fuzzies until you wake up terrified at night, after realizing that in the Planet of The Apes future, your data will be worshiped as the foundation of a religion and taught to little chimp children, with disasterous concequences.

  8. Re:Sterotype Battle! Objectification, I choose You on E3 'Booth Babe' Interviews Reveal Comedy, Tragedy · · Score: 2, Funny
    And why are all outfits in the future skin-tight anyway? :)

    Home liposuction kits.

  9. Re:0-day? on Corporate Servers Spreading IE Virus [Updated] · · Score: 1

    When the natives demand that the location of their island remain off the map so that the hurricanes can't find them, then it's perfectly acceptable to root for the hurricane.

  10. Re:Formatted Article Text (site getting slow) on Tanenbaum Rebuts Ken Brown · · Score: 1

    Funny you should ask... yes. Yes, you should.

  11. Re:I wonder... on RIAA Sues Nearly 500 New Swappers · · Score: 1

    Well at least the pee bucket was near their seats. I have to get up and go halfway across the building if *I* want to take a whizz. Hmmmm.... pee bucket...

  12. Re:Good... down with Real on Real Problems · · Score: 2, Informative

    Visit example.com, read the RFC referenced there, and be enlightened.

  13. Re:Enshrined protection of whatever on Hacker Indicted In France For Publishing Exploits · · Score: 1

    Well, I'd hire OJ for my "Stabbing White Girls" side business, but he's on the other side of the country, in Florida. If I ever expand into a SWG chain though, FL will be my first stop, to capitalize on the obvious talents of Mr. Simpson.

  14. Re:Linux security on Gnome.org Compromised? · · Score: 1
    You said yourself, every security flaw at Microsoft is treated by Slashdot as if....

    I don't think you realize just how little weight the constant whinging of thousands of nerdlingers carries in the mainstream citizenry.

    If Microsoft picked on FOSS, they'd look like bullies- nobody would even think to say, "but look, slashdot was mean to them!" Except, apparently, you.

  15. Re:I call on Recovering Secret HD Space · · Score: 1
  16. Hours of my life wasted. on Protecting Our Parents' PCs? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I spend hours locking down the box, turning off their permissions, setting up virus and spyware scanners with automatic updates and run-times and admonished them to run Firefox. Took a long time.

    They still got infected. I still got calls. LOTS of calls. "Slow!" "Hijacked homepage!" "radioactive monkeys!" etc.

    Then I got them a used G4. Works a charm. They're happy, I'm happy, the web is safer for them and from them.

  17. Re:Frivilous lawsuits are a problem on SCO - EV1, Licensees, Groklaw, Armed Guards · · Score: 1

    We did have a blood bath long ago. It was called the Revolutionary War. I hear those guys were good shots, too. Even wrote some funky rules to make sure that it could happen again if needed.

    Wise guys, those wacko gun nuts.

  18. Re:SCOpe unknown. on SCO - EV1, Licensees, Groklaw, Armed Guards · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually, the best way to spot idiots on slashdot is to scroll down. Now if you offered a way to identify the comments worth reading, now that'd be something, but spotting idiots on slashdot is trivial.

  19. Re:MOD PARENT DOWN on SCO - EV1, Licensees, Groklaw, Armed Guards · · Score: 5, Funny

    Or at the very least, change the text into the "Symbol" font.

  20. Re:The Wizard of SCOz on Leaked Memo Says Microsoft Raised $86 million for SCO · · Score: 1

    I think it's pretty clear that Linus is Dorothy. I'm sure he can sing, and some people might find him pretty in an ugly sort of way. He's the next gay icon!

  21. Re:right on!!! on Video Games Make People Fat and Mean · · Score: 5, Funny
    I don't think masturbation is a way to vent anger, frustration, and the desire to set things on fire.

    I don't think you're getting enough friction. Use a bit less lotion and the fire will start.

  22. Re:and in other news on Microsoft Plans WinXP "Reloaded" · · Score: 5, Funny

    Am I the only one who read that as "eXPenSE"?

  23. What's so intriguing? on Space Station Managing, Post Mortem · · Score: 1

    I played a game pretty much like this (with less stellar graphics, of course) on my C=64. I think it was one of EA's "Blank Construction Set" titles.

  24. Re:There are more pressing needs first on DARPA Offers No Food for Thought · · Score: 1

    Speaking as an American, that's a very valid point. American soldiers are taught how to kill lots and lots of people while keeping themselves and their squadmates in more or less one piece. That's it. "Peacekeeping" missions run counter to what these men and women are trained to do. I would suggest that instead of asking the military to perform a job that they're sigularly unsuited for, to instead set up a seperate branch for those sorts of missions.

    I want to strangle the idiots here in California who think the military should help out with border patrol- another mission that the military simply isn't equiped or trained to handle. Unless you want to destroy relations with Mexico after a few soldiers got zealous with their M-16.

  25. Shock! Horror! Gasp! on Game Content Ratings Not Always To Be Trusted? · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's almost as if the game rating system, and even the people that label games aren't perfect! What next? We'll have to raise our own children? We'll have to actually spend time with them? We'll have to play the game before them, or along with them, explaining anything that might damage their fragile little minds (like, say, ANYTHING that plays on the 6 o'clock news)?

    This travesty of justice should not be allowed to perpetuate. I paid good money for my one eyed babysitter, damn it!
