  1. Re:Thus say... on Hardly Anyone Cares About Computer Voting Problems · · Score: 1

    Yes and I'm sure you have information regarding this correlation...

  2. Re:More than just a bump in the cobblestone road.. on MIT, Boston College Refuse DMCA Subpoenas · · Score: 0, Troll

    What is this fight you speak off??

    Seriously, people take this too far... (against the RIAA, I'm NOT refering to the DMCA... that's another story) Sure, I download music but I at least recognize that it's stealing

    There is no cause, there is only free music.

    *obligitory "don't mod this as a troll" comment so people mod it up instead*

  3. Re:Never understood this about Intellivision on Celebrating Bad Game Packaging Art · · Score: 1

    >Macs are supier in just about every way

    That may be true now, but that definitely was not true before OS X...

  4. Re:Good idea, bad content on Freenet 0.5.2 Released · · Score: 1

    Some of us hope we're not the ones with the blank =D

  5. whew on Marriage May Tame Genius · · Score: 1

    And my friends and I were thinking of chiping in and ordering Linus a russian bride...

    Good thing we found this out before we acted!

  6. l33t names on Naming Your Character In RPGs? · · Score: 1

    Newbifier
    Stafoo (pronounced version of 'stfu')

    It's fun PKing people while on a character with a retarded name... It seems to piss people off 10x as much.

  7. Am I the only one... on Random Humor · · Score: 1

    who started singing that in my head??

    It had a nice beat.

  8. I hate to say itt, but... on Which Organizations Have Standardized on Mozilla? · · Score: 1

    I like IE.

    IE 6.0 combined with the beta google toolbar makes for the perfect browsing experience.

    IE loads faster(okay, okay it's because it's already loaded... mozilla can do this) but it also renders HTML faster.

    IE is more of a standard than any standard. People design websites for IE, they don't always look right in mozilla.

    And while I hate to admit it, IE is more stable than mozilla. I browse OFTEN, and IE maybe crashes once a week, if that. Also rarely does it bring down the whole system... For desktop usage, stability is not an acceptable anti-M$ arguement.

    Oh yeah, Konquerer is my next favorite browser... But it doesn't always display stuff properly, and isn't quite as fast as IE.

  9. Re:Double-edged Sword? on OWASP's VulnXML Database · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You'd rather have security through obscurity??

  10. hmm.. on Anti-Patriot Act Movement Expands · · Score: 1

    Wasn't this one of the causes of the civil war??

  11. bad idea... on Speakeasy Introduces Broadband WiFi Sharing Plan · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I can just imagine that I'm playing an 'important' CS match, and my neigbor starts up kazaa... Then some idiot starts DLing porn and britany spears mp3s from him, consequently my ping skyrockets to 400ms.

  12. so on eBay Provides No Privacy For Sellers · · Score: 1

    Is it really that bad?? I've heard of plenty of people getting ripped off on ebay(including somethign posted on slashdot aa long time ago about some guys tiBook, and he fought back) It's nice to know that if you get scammed you can fax eBay and show up at the guys house the next day.

    Oh, and if you don't like it, don't use ebay. It's that fucking simple =/

  13. Microsoft's WMD on Bill Gates On Linux · · Score: 4, Funny

    Microsoft's secret weapon of mass destruction: http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3

  14. Re:20 years of windows on Windows Tech Writer Looks at Linux · · Score: 1

    Well, Windows is pretty Orwellian nowadays...

  15. Re:I wonder... on Fan-Made Space Quest Prequel Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    Sierra doesn't even own the rights to the name Space Quest... Space Quest is a registered trademark of Children's Museum of Indianapolis.

  16. *doesn't click link* on P4 3.2GHz Reviews · · Score: 5, Funny

    Let me guess... It's a few percent faster than the 3.0ghz, and costs more.

    Do I win a prize??

  17. Warning: on Building A Homemade Chess Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    Secondly, you shouldn't attempt to build you own computer unless you are confident of your ability to do so. Obviously, if you do it, then it is entirely at your own risk.

    Valuable advice to /.ers...

  18. Re:Managing bandwidth on Managing Bandwidth and Bandwidth Costs? · · Score: 1

    Use the experimental BitTorrent client.

    You can set it to just under your max upload... There's stll enough bandwidth for your ACKs, and then you can DL as fast as other people upload to you(which can be a problem due to these other clients...)

  19. stfu on 12/7 and Overtime on a Salary? · · Score: 1, Troll

    If you don't like it then quit your job.

    Nobody is forcing you to work there. Employees should have no rights that are not explicitly stated in their contract =/

  20. Yeah, well... on Roswell Declassified · · Score: 1

    Why should anyone believe reports that the government declassifies?? If there really were an alien spacecraft there, what's stoping them from "declassifying" forged documents??

    Disclaimer: I'm not saying I believe anything...

  21. Great Source for free online computer books on Websites of Knowledge? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Here are many free books related to math and computer science.

  22. Re:That's fast but, on 150 Mbit/s DSL. · · Score: 1

    I think you mean 16KByte up... That woul be 128kbps which is what many DSL users get. 16kbit would mean less than 2KByte/sec...

  23. Linus on The Little Coder's Predicament · · Score: 2, Funny

    I remember reading that Linus used to program games in machine code when he was a kid(can't remember what system that was...)

    I'd pay to see a kid(or anyone) do that today.

  24. Lawyers on Hints for Planning a Network Gaming Marathon? · · Score: 1
