  1. It's because Canadian networks like Bell, Shaw, etc purchase the rights to broadcast those shows here, whether it's over cable or their own shitty services like Shomi, or Crave.

  2. vertical video on Strange Video of Dancing Cloud Explained By Electric Discharge · · Score: 1

    Why the fuck do people record video on their phone in the vertical position? There are so many cases of this.. morons.

  3. Re:Bitcoin... on Mint It Yourself With a Browser-Based Bitcoin Miner · · Score: 1

    I'd mod you up if I had points.

  4. Re:Religion on Gadgets For the Ghosthunter · · Score: 1

    This is the best explanation I've ever heard regarding reincarnation.

  5. Re:Why? on First Ten Programs on New Install? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, exactly. Why are you such an idiot?

    And as for my contribution:
    all the service packs/bugfixes

  6. Re:The best way to combat piracy on Console Game Prices Going Up? · · Score: 1

    Sure it would help, I would rather buy a game for $30 (Canadian, where games are usually between $70-90 here) than waste a day or two trying to download the iso. As it stands now, I don't do either.

  7. The best way to combat piracy on Console Game Prices Going Up? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    would be to LOWER the price of the games.

  8. Cut scenes on SquareEnix Confirm Final Fantasy XII, Sales Figures · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Lets hope FFXII gets away from the whole play for 2 minutes, watch a 15 minute cut scene, play for 2 more minutes.. etc.

  9. Re:"normal" call ? on Canadian Telco Telus Moves All Call Traffic to the Net · · Score: 1

    They should drop calls and overcharge customers too to complete the picture.

    A bit offtopic, but when I signed up for Telus's ADSL service I could have sworn the woman told me 6 months free service then, $39/Month. 2 days ago I got a call saying they noticed I havent been billed for internet service for 6 months and now they are going to back bill me (Only for 3 months though, such nice folks).

  10. Re:um... on Prince of Pop-ups · · Score: 1

    mozilla lets you just turn them off.

    Although, how come I don't see it in the preferences anymore? I know you can still edit prefs.js though.

  11. TV and Movies on Why Does a Screen Re-Draw Make Noises? · · Score: 1

    Just be thankful its not as loud as on TV or in movies. The screen beeps or makes some kind of noise for everything.

  12. Re:The end of GNOME. on KDE 3.1 Released · · Score: 1

    Maybe they should just rename Gnome 2.2 to Gnome 7 or something and all the problems will go away.

  13. Re:I think the next wave of viruses... on Top 10 Vulnerabilities in Web Applications · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Of course as soon as a virus comes out of these filetypes, people will stop opening them up pretty quickly.

    Yeah, I'm sure.. Just like people stopped opening unknown executable attachments in their email.

  14. Re:Good idea, but... on Floor Vacuum Robot for $200 · · Score: 3, Funny

    So you only get the floor mostly clean. Seems like it could use some more work...

    Well, to me, mostly clean is much better than the horrible mess I have now.
    You can eat off my floors, but not because they are that sanitary, but because they have all that food on them.

  15. Re:Who's got the bombs on Hearing on Hollywood Hacking Bill · · Score: 1

    That would just be for kicks, I mean, we're talking about elite soldiers vs. gorillas here. Well, you'd have to be not morally opposed to shooting a gorilla down with some kind of automatic weapon.

  16. Re:Who's got the bombs on Hearing on Hollywood Hacking Bill · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's the case of the an army of the elite Vs the large army of gorillas. The elite may have a lot of neat tricks, but it will probably really hurt if the gorillas manage to close enough to make a few punches.

    I don't know.. gorillas, while they may be stronger, are still pretty stupid. I mean, throw some bananas their way and that will keep them occupied. Guerillas on the other hand...

  17. Old news on Stealware: Kazaa et al Stealing Link Commissions · · Score: 1

    This was already known about Morpheus in March. See This old story

  18. Re:As long as they are not X.10... on LAN Camera Review · · Score: 1

    This is Slashdot, nobody really boycotts anything around here. Its more of a symbolic thing. Or a metaphor.

  19. Re:mmm... coffee on Gaming Fuel: 4-way Shootout · · Score: 1

    Also for the benefits of Canadians, I think that Mt. Dew is caffeine-free in Canada. Any non-dark pop has to be (I think). Anyway, I think coffee is yummy.

    Yes, you're right, although the new blue pepsi does have caffeine. Maybe it is dark enough.

  20. Re:How to BSOD Windows.. on Pet Bugs? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Also, In Windows 2000, go to the command prompt, and cd to a directory with lots of files. Do a dir, and while its scrolling past, press F7,Enter,F7,Enter.. over and over.. It crashes every damn time.

  21. Re:UK vs US? on UK Parliament to ban DoS Attacks · · Score: 2, Funny

    So when the RIAA kills a file-sharing server in Scotland because US law specifically permits it, and when they are indicted because UK law specifically outlaws it, whose national sovereignty will be degraded?

    Thats a stupid question. US law prevails over all others.

  22. Re:Backup Procedures.... on Making Users Back Up Important Data? · · Score: 1

    Hmm, you make very good points. I guess thats why I'm paid so poorly. hehe.

  23. Re:Backup Procedures.... on Making Users Back Up Important Data? · · Score: 1

    Instead of telling the users to put their files on W:, you could also map each users My Documents folder to a directory on the server.

  24. Re:Not as much as I'd hoped.. on E3: SimCity 4 Preview Goodness · · Score: 1

    Drive-Thrus - It's hard to really get a good feel for your town. Imagine being able to have a car simulator where you get to experience what traveling is like in the city first-hand.

    I saw a 3pack boxed set the other day, and one of the games was Streets of Simcity. It looked as if you could load up one of your cities and drive around.

  25. Re:One Percent on Lunar Power · · Score: 1

    You are wrong. A lot of people believe that one side of the moon is permanently dark. Its just not true. Check out www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/dark_side.html
