  1. Look harder on Napster Sells 5 Million Songs · · Score: 1

    If you're looking for punk or something, hit a punk-oriented record shop. Independent shops will often specialize in a specific genre, so you may be looking in the wrong place. Don't go to the local Megalo-Mart expecting to find anything obscure.

  2. grab our wallets for what? on Xbox 2 - The Price of Compatibility? · · Score: 1

    How is this going to cost you more money? You can still play your old games on your Xbox 1.

  3. man on Tivo Tracks Superbowl Viewing Habits · · Score: 2, Funny

    What if we just rebroadcast it with implied oral consent?

  4. Re:Why only that combination? on Ctrl-Alt-Del Inventor To Retire From IBM · · Score: 3, Informative

    For one thing, it's damned near impossible to hit those three keys simultaneously on accident. Other than that, there's nothing special about the combination.

    On the Mac, the sequence is Command-Option-Escape.

  5. Re:Globalization at its finest on DNS Root Servers Outside US Surpass Those Inside · · Score: 1

    It's all part of the plan...

  6. actually on Linus Speaks Out, Calls SCO 'Cornered Rat' · · Score: 1

    Lots and lots of people said that about the Muslim community.

  7. wild on Bill Gates Forecasts Victory Over Spam · · Score: 1

    So in a couple of years I'll get to spend half my day solving puzzles?

    Doesn't sound so bad.

  8. bitch bitch bitch on The Tyranny of Copyright? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Slashdot needs to stop linking to the NYT if only because half the comments in the thread will be from some idiot whining about registration.

    If you're so opposed to registering at websites, why the fuck do you have a slashdot account?

  9. which half was that? on Spirit Rover Communications Error · · Score: 1

    The half where they fling a pile of space trash into a planet?

    Smashing success!

  10. You're wrong on Real Announces Helix Grant Winners · · Score: 1

    Free.

    I'm sure there's a windows counterpart.

  11. what? on Real Announces Helix Grant Winners · · Score: 0, Redundant

    That's what we have with RealOne player.

    It sucks, remember?

    Simple good.

  12. Re:Here is why... on GTA - San Andreas Looks to be Next · · Score: 1

    Las Vegas is traditionally referred to as "Sin City," and GTA in Vegas would be awesome.

  13. non-powered transportation on GTA - San Andreas Looks to be Next · · Score: 1

    I think it would be great if you could steal a kid's bike or skateboard to get away from the cops.

    Police motorcycles would be nifty, too.

  14. amazing on HP Licenses Apple's iPod & iTMS · · Score: 0

    You seem to have deftly avoided every single fact in the article.

  15. Re:Dear Apple: why? on HP Licenses Apple's iPod & iTMS · · Score: 1

    I can forsee the HP version of the iPod sucking.

    It's the same hardware in "HP blue."

  16. because it's the right thing to do on Tech Firms Defend Moving Jobs Overseas · · Score: 1

    They have profited greatly from the American people, it's their responsibility to support them with jobs.

    Simple as that.

  17. Ah, Dusty on A Look Inside Virginia Tech's New Super Computer · · Score: 1

    Infamous is when you're more than famous! This super computer is not just famous, it's IN-famous!

  18. Re:How dumb do you have to be? on Microsoft Word Forms Passwords Hacked · · Score: 1

    The kind that doesn't understand what a digital signature or hostile software is. That would be around 95-99% of all users.

    Not everyone who uses a computer is a geek, you know.

  19. some more words on An Answer To "What is Mac OS X?" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    An attractive, usable, and stable GUI counts for something. FreeBSD (which I run and love) can't provide that.

    Also, the iLife suite is fuckin awesome. Nothing on windows or *nix comes even close to it as far as quality and integration are concerned.

  20. uh on An Answer To "What is Mac OS X?" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How much "hacking the code" have you done on Linux? Be honest. Have you ever needed to significantly modify your operating system's source code? Do you even know how?

    Are you just bitching because it isn't Free for the sake of bitching?

  21. uhm on Windows XP SP2 Beta Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Ok, I don't have a very current nightly build, but since when does Mozilla magically know which popups you want and which you don't?

  22. Re:Well... on Windows 98 Phased Out · · Score: 2, Funny

    They used MovieOS, of course.

  23. your sig is teh fuckin rox on State Of Open Source In 2003 Reviewed · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Dennis Hopper was fucking great in that movie.

    Cheers!

  24. here's a screenshot of emacs on UserLinux May Go Without KDE · · Score: 4, Funny
  25. ah, the Luftwaffe on TV For Nerds: Cable Science Network? · · Score: 2, Funny

    the Washington Generals of the History Channel.
