  1. Re:Again, An Iffy Article.... on How Sony's Development of the Cell Processor Benefited Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Regarding the Wii...it really is just a beefed up version of the Gamecube with a wacky controller tacked on. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii#Technical_specifications

  2. Re:Draconian EULA on World of Warcraft's Brand New Rootkit · · Score: 1

    Which no one knew about before hand - not the case with warden.

  3. Re:Integrated Web Browser = Opera on 27 Playable Wii Games At E3 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Built in half gig flash storage. Expandable with SD cards.

  4. Re:So... on Interview With Leader of Sweden's Pirate Party · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Yarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, bork bork bork!

  5. The list is a Hoax! on Wikipedia Covers April Fool's Hoaxes · · Score: 1

    Do not follow the links! It's a Hoax and my anti-virus went crazy when I clicked the links!

  6. The Internets Are A Great Resource for Pirates on The Trouble With Software Upgrades · · Score: 2, Insightful

    OMG, the internets are a great resource for bomb-making, and finding whores, and pirating software and music and movies.

    Whats your point? Oldversion.com is a tool with a very legitimate use. Just like anything else, it has the potential to be used in nefarious ways.

    BTW, Congratulations on no longer being a criminal.

  7. Re:Windows 2000 on Linux On Older Hardware · · Score: 1

    It is my experience that XP boots quicker and (with candy theme turned off) is more responsive then win2k.

  8. Re:Hand them your ACLU Card on Policing Porn Isn't Part of The Job · · Score: 1

    How the fuck did this get modded up?

  9. Another Beatles Beatles on Cross Site Scripting Discovered in Google · · Score: 4, Informative

    Someone is trying to get their Pagerank up by submitting the story with a name of "Security Test" and linking to their shoddy website. The site has only a few links, no content, and it says the page is for sale. Will slashdot ever get their shit together and stop posting submissions with blatent pagerank-whoring links like this?

  10. Re:Piece of cake ... on Paramount Sues Ohio Man For $100,000 · · Score: 1

    Normally, I am a supporter of not butchering the english language. However, the word 'probably' has always bugged me. Where does it get off using as many of the letter 'b' as it does?

    Languages evolve over time. It just happens. Personally, I support the evolution of 'probably' into 'prolly'. 'Prolly' at least looks like it could be an actual word. 'Ur' and 'ppl', on the other hand, disgust me and should be reviled.

  11. Is the torrent legal? on Star Wreck Released as Download · · Score: 0, Troll

    Or is slashdot promoting piracy? It would be nice to see some info in the summary.

  12. Re:That may be true on Novell Expects Vista to Spur Linux Adoption · · Score: 1

    There is a beta groupwise 6.5 linux client out that I have installed and tested. It's pretty damn decent imo. There is also a groupwise 7 client for linux that I have not tried.

    Groupwise 7 client for Linux

  13. Read the opinion please. on Refilling Ink Cartridges Now a Crime? · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's not as cut and dry as the story title and summary implies.

    Lexmark discounts certain cartridges with the understanding that the user will return the spent cartridges to Lexmark. Lexmark recycles the cartridges and sells them again. Lexmark got their panties in a bunch because another company was taking their prebated cartridges and recycling them, causing Lexmark to lose money. Lexmark isn't being quite as evil as they are made out to be, in this case.

    That being said, Lexmark makes my pants sad.

  14. Re:Interweb? on Tracking Down a Cell Phone Thief · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yeah seriously. Everyone knows it's 'intarweb'.

  15. Re:PentiumM in desktop vs Mobile Barton in desktop on Socket Adapter Brings Pentium M to Desktop · · Score: 1

    Clock for clock (not price/performance mind you) all of the benchmarks I've seen have the newer Pentium Ms beating the ever-loving-crap out of P4 EEs AND Athlon 64s. I'm too lazy to look up any supporting links.

  16. Re:Edgware Road on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they were trying to teach the Traitorous dogs a lesson for colaborating with the infidels?

  17. Re:Wow on 13.1 Surround Sound Coming to a Home near you? · · Score: 4, Insightful
    "I guess if you spend money to buy all those speakers, it BETTER sound better, or at least you've going to tell yourself it does."
    "with 25 foot length Monster Cables."
    Right. Buying cables from the same company that sells a 50$ phone cord.
  18. Re:These people are missing the main market. on Vacuum-Controlled Elevator Developed · · Score: 1

    You know, there are people who have knee and joint issues that this thing would be an absolute boon too. Stairs can also be killer on many people with back problems.

  19. Re:Graphics and sound on Review: Jade Empire · · Score: 1

    And yet people turn around and bitch when movies are remade...curious, isn't it?

  20. Wow! on Lucas Confirms Star Wars spin-off TV series · · Score: -1, Troll

    And me without my hot grits!

    But seriously, how is this a good thing?

  21. Re:DLink on Router Built for Gamers · · Score: 1

    What a nice anecdote.

    All of my d-link products - 2 AP/bridges, 1 AP, 1 AP/Router/Printserver, and 4 wireless network cards - have worked from day 1 without a hitch.

    Consider your anecdote negated.

  22. Re:Yea definitly spyware.... on iDownload Tries to Silence Spyware Critics · · Score: 5, Informative

    They also clam that their antivirus software (part of their suite) is ICSA certified. Funny, I don't see their product on ICSA's certification list

  23. This story is a dupe on Intel Announces Laser Breakthrough · · Score: 0

    CowbyNeal posted it Jan 7th here.

  24. I'm not sure on Judge in SCO Case Notes Lack of Evidence · · Score: -1, Redundant

    but I think this might be a dupe of this.
