  1. I agree on iTunes Disables MusicMatch · · Score: 1

    It's much too difficult to change the default browser.

    Launching applications? Setting preferences? What do they think we are, rocket scientists?

  2. that's an akamai server, bub on Alien vs. Predator Movie Trailer Available · · Score: 2, Funny

    Slashdot doesn't stand a chance.

  3. Re:Fads are strange on Hercules USB DJ Console Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Firstly, it sounds like you were pretty much a wuss in 7th grade.

    Secondly, hip-hop is much more than a fad. You wouldn't call rock and roll or jazz a fad, would you?

    Thirdly, Elvis imitated no man.

  4. Sure thing on Debian Can Now Amend Social Contract, DFSG · · Score: -1, Troll

    I think it means that you are not too smart.

  5. thank you, oh wise one on Should Hackers Get Their Own Logo? · · Score: 1

    "Wannabes and their imprecise language..."

    Elitists and their insistence on pointing out how wrong everyone else is...

    Why don't you take it up with the W3C, who used the word valid repeatedly on their html validator?

  6. no, he didn't on Should Hackers Get Their Own Logo? · · Score: 1

    But it doesn't validate as XHTML transitional, either.

    It doesn't validate as any sort of XHTML I'm aware of.

  7. hackers, indeed on Should Hackers Get Their Own Logo? · · Score: 5, Funny

    From the page: "Here is a snippet of XHTML you can paste into a page.

    <a href='http://www.catb.org/hacker-emblem/'>
    <img src='http://www.catb.org/hacker-emblem/glider.png' ></a>"

    Note that this isn't valid XHTML.

  8. Outlook isn't an embedded program on Microsoft Officially Shows Longhorn, WinFX · · Score: 1

    I'm sure you already knew this.

  9. The Danish come from Danland on Danish Study Recommends Open Standards for EU · · Score: 1

    A small island situated somewhere around Europe or somewhere like that.

    See the CIA World Factbook Entry for more info.

  10. BitTorrent on the Mac on ISWC'03 Gadget Show Videos · · Score: 1

    Official client (Doesn't work on Panther!)

    A decent Mac-only client

    Azureus, a Java client.

    You can also grab the standard distribution and run btdownloadheadless.py in Terminal.

  11. grrr! on Windows iTunes Sells A Million Songs In 3.5 Days · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They don't support my extremely obscure operating system!

    Yes, folks, Linux on the desktop is obscure.

  12. ah, yes on Choosing Microsoft Products May Cost 10-40% More · · Score: 1

    Just go down to the Free Admin Depot and pick up some guys to run it all?

  13. off? on RIAA Threatens More Music-Lovers · · Score: 1

    Valenti?

    Wrong *AA, I guess.

  14. uh, no on Text Mining the Multiverse · · Score: 1

    Slashdot is a business. If they started using Google's partner link, the NYT would hand their asses to them in court.

    Perhaps Slashdot should get in touch with the NYT and see if they can get a partnership set up, but stealing someone else's wouldn't be such a hot idea.

  15. perhaps more importantly on Text Mining the Multiverse · · Score: 1

    Why does every story linking to a New York Times article have people such as yourself complaining about it? Your comment lends nothing to the discussion and identical sentiments have been expressed countless times. Write a journal entry if you want mindless discourse regarding the New York Times registration requirement. Complain to the Times and tell them what horrible, horrible people they are for making you take ten seconds of your time to provide them with false information.

    The fact is that the New York Times often has excellent content and they do not syndicate. This article isn't available elsewhere, but it's worthy of discussion, so either register and read it or do not participate in the discussuion.

    I find it hard to believe that you're too lazy to fill out their registration form but somehow found the energy to come here and complain.

  16. and eventually on Tall People Earn More · · Score: 1

    We're left with a race of people who are thirteen feet tall and stunningly beautiful.

    Creepy.

  17. What is $0, Alex? on SCO gets $50 Million Investment · · Score: 1

    No, wait, this must be a Microsoft conspiracy!

  18. Re:Can PC users tets it and report? on Apple Releases iTunes for Windows · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Steve Jobs referred to it as the greatest Windows app ever. This is somewhat of an overstatement..."

    HOLY SHIT! Steve Jobs made an overstatement?!?!

  19. yes on First Napster 2.0 Review · · Score: 1

    A BMW is more or less just tires and metal.

  20. the sandbox on Mono-culture And The .NETwork Effect · · Score: 1

    and I would go
    and I would go everyday almost to the sandbox
    and 'cause I loved the sandbox so much
    and 'cause I had my pail and shovel
    and shovel

    and I would play in the sandbox
    and it would be so much fun
    and I would make mountains in the sand
    and I would have so much fun

    and and but one day I went to the sandbox
    and it was so sad
    and I cried and I cried because
    someone took a doody in my sandbox
    someone took a doody in my sandbox

    and that was so bad
    and that was so disgusting
    and how could they do that?
    and and that was so bad

    and and and I didn't see it
    and and I sat right down in it
    and it felt squishy and I got up
    and I cried and I cried and I cried

    and why didn't they clean up after themselves?
    and why didn't they clean up the mess?

    and now my pants are dirty
    and I'm crying and I'm crying and I'm crying
    and I'm never going back to the sandbox again!
    and I hate everybody!

  21. yes, you are required to update on Longhorn in 2006 · · Score: 1

    It's a sure shot that apps will require 10.3 just as they required 10.2. OS X upgrades are non-optional if you want to keep your applications up to date.

  22. no, they're not on Apple to Launch iTunes for Windows · · Score: 1

    Apple says

    AAC compressed audio at 128 kbps (stereo) has been judged by expert listeners to be "indistinguishable" from the original uncompressed audio source.

    Which is total bullshit. I'd say they sound about as good as a 192 kbps mp3 file, much better than the 128 kbps mp3 files littering Kazaa.

  23. why I tolerate it on Apple to Launch iTunes for Windows · · Score: 1

    Because Apple got it right. I'm free to transfer my files to as many CDs or iPods as I like. I can play them on three machines. I can quasi-legally sell them if I want.

    Yes, there are restrictions, but they're loose enough that I haven't bumped into them. I'm not against DRM the same way I'm not against laws: they're fine by me as long as they're not too restrictive.

  24. Re:This article also on on Apple to Launch iTunes for Windows · · Score: 1

    This article is lots of places.

    Way to use google news, karma whore.

  25. That term is sexist, too on Man Vs Machine In Chess - Who Is Winning? · · Score: 1

    Humanity? I don't think so, sister!

    It should be personkind, or personity.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I have to write a very long letter to the people who make Manwich.
