  1. Re:Badly Written on P2P Users More Likely to Cheat, Shoplift · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't know about that.. it's legal to download music in Canada. Maybe they mean that the music is illegal and therefore we should not be downloading it?

  2. Re:Better than post-it notes on Too Many Passwords · · Score: 3, Funny

    I do something similar, but I use a simpler matrix:

    a - a b - b c - c
    d - d e - e f - f
    g - g h - h i - i
    j - j k - k l - l
    m - m n - n o - o
    p - p q - q r - r
    s - s t - t u - u
    v - v w - w x - x
    y - y z - z

    So my bank password would map to "bank" and my slashdot password would map to "slashdot".

    And... no, wait.. I guess that's everything.

    I think they did read the entire comment.

    I somehow just read that as "The Sky is burning the end user is near". I'm going to bed.

  6. Re:MS Trolls/Fanbois/Employees on KOffice Developers Reply to Yates · · Score: 1

    Microsoft itself will be forced to submit documents to the EU in ISO-approved OpenDocument. Hilariously, Microsoft will have to use OpenOffice.org to do so.

    Or they can use another product with a similar codebase, such as KOffice :).

    And no, I didn't read the article.

  7. Re:Naming conventions on Martian Naming Madness · · Score: 1

    Trouble is no scientist or NASA spokesperson wants to tell the public about his exciting discovery on rock NW2345, when it could be called Van Halen or some other name that would capture public imagination.

    Why not name it after something is discovered on it? You might even be able to give it a more meaningful name this way.

    Well, duh.. stop reading digg.

  9. Re: What's buried in your back yard? on Google Earth Used to Find Ancient Roman Villa · · Score: 4, Funny

    You have to check "Post Anonymously" before you press submit.

  10. Civilization on How About a Nice Game of Global Thermonuclear War? · · Score: 1

    Look on the bright side. This should make Civilization a lot more fun. No more worries about Congress stopping my nukes when I have a democratic government.

  12. Re:How tough is it? on Prototype Rollable Paper-like Display Ready Early · · Score: 1, Funny

    I'm wondering how durable the 'film screen' is. Can I accidentally rip it, pulling it out of a pocket?

    You could always laminate it. This would keep it safe from pesky coffee stains, too.

  13. Re:but but on IBM Reports Indicate Linux TCO Is Lower · · Score: 1

    Funny, but I think you meant Sergeant Schultz--er, Ballmer--instead of Major [Hochstetter].

    You, sir, are wrong.

  15. Re:Improved ratings on Locked-Out Journalists Turn To Podcasting · · Score: 1

    That's because we don't have to listen to Chris Walby anymore.

  16. Re:Contingency For Ethernet on Uneducated IT Managers, and How to Deal? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Are you really telling me that you'd rather see some girls take off their bathing suits instead of setting a up a massively parallel RAID-5 array of 300G SATA-150 disks!?

    Indeed! Just imagine all the pr0n you would be able to store on that machine!

  17. Re:My Prediction on Sony and Toshiba Give Up On Unified DVD Format · · Score: 1

    If necessary, the players could have two different lasers. Sure, this isn't the ideal solution, but if the demand is there, it might just happen.

    We'll just have to wait to see if the demand is actually there for more than one format.

    A media-independent content structure would be great, but I have a feeling that it wouldn't be quite as simple as it sounds. Of course, that really isn't my area of expertise.

  18. Re:My Prediction on Sony and Toshiba Give Up On Unified DVD Format · · Score: 1

    I'm sure it will be possible. You could even have two lasers, if necessary. I guess it will pan out to whether or not it's worth it. If Blu-ray just slaughters HD-DVD, then manufacturers won't bother supporting HD-DVD. On the other hand, what are the odds that one will slaughter the other? Blu-ray is going to be in PS3 and HD-DVD is apparently in Xbox 360. I wonder if it will get to the point that publishers have to sell both Bluray and HD-DVD version of movies because both formats are so popular.

    Like you said, it will be interesting to see how it plays out. I think there's a good possiblity of having a duality, like DVD +/-.

  19. Re:My Prediction on Sony and Toshiba Give Up On Unified DVD Format · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Exactly my point. What's to stop manufacturers from including support for both standards?

    I think I'm going to vote for a third party!

    Yeah.. and DVD-Rs and DVD+Rs and DVD-RWs and DVD+RWs.

    You're right.. two competing formats out there at the same time will never work.
