  1. Re:Steve Jobs Gets It. on Steve Jobs and the State of Legal Music Downloads · · Score: 1

    Correction:
    Isn't this the same guy that almost ran Apple and Kodak out of business?
    Should read:
    Isn't this the same guy that almost ran Apple and NextStep out of business?

  2. Re:Steve Jobs Gets It. on Steve Jobs and the State of Legal Music Downloads · · Score: 1

    I hope this is sarcasm. Isn't this the same guy that almost ran Apple and Kodak out of business? "...And it's only gonna cost you a dollar a song, " for what a lower quality, non-portable format? I'll stick with the real CDs. There are a lot of good options out there now, like www.cdgoround.com. Where you can be completely legal and trade real CDs with other ppl with the same ambition.

  3. eBay pulled it on Testing The Right To Resell Downloaded Music · · Score: 1

    As of 1:10pm MST, the item was pulled by eBay.

  4. Works both ways on Movie Industry Blames Texting for Bad Box Office · · Score: 1

    So I'm guessing this means they don't want us messaging anyone to say a movie was good too?

  5. Re:Canada's How Far? on Linking Dangerously · · Score: 1

    BitHerder,

    It doesn't trouble you one bit that Mr. Austin is being jailed for running just a simple website that has never served up anything more dangerous than ideas. I can't think of a single, better way to "peaceable assemble," which is another Constitutionally guaranteed freedom.

    It is our Constitution which makes the United States of America the greatest country, I don't understand why you would want to make fun of an American, who is for some reason, not protected by our fundamental American freedoms.

    For anyone who cares, CNet has a follow-up and interview here:

    A Webmaster's 25th hour

  6. Canada's How Far? on Linking Dangerously · · Score: 1

    I hope all of us can show support for Mr. Austin, as this direct affront on the U.S. Constitution transpires. It is wrong to jail anyone for being a revolutionary (didn't Stalin and Hitler do this?). Sherman, I'll play some Atari Teenage Riot loud and hard. Throw your fist up!

  7. AppleScript?!?! on Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Reference (2nd Ed.) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    AppleScript... now there's a highly deployable skill.

  8. No Programers in the study on Computers and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Studied · · Score: 1

    There must have been no programers in the study, as the burning in my wrist tells me otherwise...

  9. Typo on AOL will launch TiVo-like Mystro service · · Score: 1

    I guess Hemos didn't catch this typo, "...AOL is launching its on version of a PVR..." should read, "...AOL is launching its own version of a PVR..." And since there is no way of contacting Hemos, so it will live as a thread.

  10. Astronomers and VW Bugs on Meteor Over Midwest · · Score: 1

    "So why do astronomers always compare the size of meteors to Volkswagen bugs?" Because after grad school and student loans, that is all they can afford to drive.

  11. CNet is reporting that Amazon will not honor price on Amazon Sells IPAQs for $10 · · Score: 1

    No big surprise, CNet is reporting that Amazon will not honor price: http://news.com.com/2100-1019-993246.html

  12. They call autosize a feature!? on Mozilla.org Launches Mozilla 1.3 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Do you have any idea how much porn I didn't keep because autosize made it too small??? Not Mozilla too, geez...

  13. Have Slashdot Editors Lost Their Collective Minds? on Helms Deep Battle Recreated In Doom · · Score: 1

    The Slashdot Editors will post this, but they won't post the article about the Patron Saint of the Internet... what's the deal?

  14. Why just the Internet? on Pennsylvania Court Forces ISPs to Block Porn Sites · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If PA is so intent on blocking child porn, why don't they fine the USPS for delivering porn?

  15. Re:He was Nerfed on Suing Sony for Everquest Related Suicide? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And his mother wants to enter EQ world for revenge... Braveheart style. It doesn't matter... it's a virtual world that ends when your session ends. She is pointing fingers when the problem is he was a very disturbed individual.

  16. A Big Caveat on To HDTV or Not to HDTV? · · Score: 1

    Congress only stated that the broadcasters must broadcast a digital signal, not a high definition signal. Likely, the rest of the bandwidth will be sold off, while the consumer enjoys EDTV (Enhanced Definition Television, a by-product of digital signals).

    Similarly to how TV is not broadcasted with a full strength of red (that's why your picture is never truly black).

    Don't buy into something that will never be fully realised.!
