  1. Seriously, the guy's name is Ballmer on How Cheap Can A PC Be? · · Score: 1

    How can you take somebody who's obviously got such glaring masculinity issues seriously? I can't even think about his name without thinking about his boy parts.

  2. Definitely a saturated market on Sharp Plans To Pull Zaurus From U.S. Market · · Score: 4, Insightful

    To date, I only have known two people who own PDAs - my boss and one of my friends. I don't even see many people at my unversity who own them - but I know a bundle who are married to their laptops. If they can't sell a gadget to college students, good luck selling it to anyone at all. My money is on pda/cellphone combos and blackberries.

  3. Come on, guys, they ain't so bad on SCO To Counter Groklaw With 'Fair' Coverage · · Score: 5, Funny

    SCO is a company with good intentions. Remember, fellas: they developed the original Unix from scratch with punch cards and tweezers and jumpers and things.

    Now they're being picked on by all these dangerous firms on the edge of legality like "International Business Machines" (clearly a front for the communist and/or nazi party) and an irregular army of anarchist hacker geniuses.

    I mean, seriously, if SCO doesn't turn this thing around, what WILL happen to Unix?

  4. Maybe I'm a little late, but TC won't work on IBM Shipping More PCs with Trust Chips · · Score: 1

    Software complexity increases exponentially versus time. Sure, "Trusted Computing" may be attractive to some companies, but so is "Reliable Computing" It only takes some Mark Twain style arithmetic to see that in a hundred years, every man, woman and child on the face of the earth will need to be working for M$ in order to keep Microsoft's rediculous excuse for an OS lineup bug-free . . . whereas the Open Source community is already pretty much a small nation.

    And to those of you who are screaming about not being able to run linux on your computer, come on. That's vendor lock-in. Microsoft has already been buttraped enough times in Antitrust law suits.

    Listening to the FUD on slashdot makes me think that the guys who wrote the Deus Ex script are regular users:)

  5. Re:Insult + Injury - And their website sucks on Report Claims SCO Intends to Charge IBM with Fraud · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I'd only call their website a counter to Groklaw if they allowed comments, and they don't.

    And I think I speak for all slashdot users when I say that when I heard about this supposed counter-site, the first thing I felt was a deep urge somethin' powerful to go over there, troll and /. their website into oblivion. That's a nice illustration of their ideal business model: SCO pontificates to the community, and the community can't respond. Captive audience, or vendor lock-in, whatever.

  6. Re:Just another reason on Winamp Skin Exploit in the Wild · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Damn dude, I was going to step up and prosleritize 'NIX/XMMS, but you beat me to it:) By the same token you could support good ol' Winamp 2, which is basically the same thing. Ooo, winamp 5; look at all the useless, animated, colorful features!
