  1. What's Next? on Anti-P2P Law Looms over the Horizon · · Score: 4, Funny

    Further along the horizon is legislation that will require all citizens to actually buy the products that the see advertised. Being exposed to an advertisement and not purchasing it is a breach of contract, punishable by large fines or death.

  2. Um.. on MPAA Sues Movie-Swappers · · Score: 1

    So does this program only delete files that ARE copyright violations, or does it delete anything that contains the string "Terminator", or "Xmen" or perhaps "Matrix"?

  3. Stolen Vehicle on Largest Digital Photograph in the World · · Score: 1

    They didn't even blur out the licence plates on the Cars in the Lot. I mean isn't that common curtosy? Where is the first place YOU zoomed in on?

  4. Bored? on Classic Toys For Christmas? · · Score: 1

    Board games will always be popular. They're also good for bringing a family together in something you can all enjoy.
    Make some popcorn, break out Monopoly/Life/Candy land on a Tuesday night and see how hard it is to pry the Kids away from the Television. Normally the smell alone will do it.
    Got older kids? Play Risk. Everyone loves a 9 hour game of Risk.

  5. But...? on Is Microsoft Crawling Google? · · Score: 1

    Isn't Google a webpage? Is MSN doing anything wrong by indexing a webpage and it's subpages?
    Look at it this way. If Google were to complain about someone searching their page/databases, they would be the largest hypocrites in the history of history.

  6. title on Interview with MPAA Chief Dan Glickman · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Profits are up as a result of raising movie ticket prices to make up for losses due to piracy...
    So stopping piracy will bring movie prices below $12/show right? Riiiiiiiight???
    When it costs as much to see the movie in the theater as you can OWN the DVD for later on, it's a wonder they still make money at all.

  7. Oh... on The Universal Off Button · · Score: 1

    And here I was thinking that someone had developed a device which would turn off all my devices when I left the room. Too often I have to pick up mulitple remotes, or spend all afternoon programming them when the batteries fall out. If someone just made one button which would simotaneously turn ON all my devices (TV, Receiver, Digital Receiver, etc...) and then could turn them all off again... bonus!

  8. Slashdot Strategy on Could IM Be The Next Step For Google? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Between software, browsers, and now IM clients, sometimes I wonder if the Slashdot editors actually believe that Google will make these peices of software, or if they're just trying to bait Google into registering a bunch of un-needed domains.

  9. Ground control.... on 19th Century Airship Technology for Port Security · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    So, are they going to divert air traffic OVER the blimps? Or will the planes simply crash through the cables holding them in place?

  10. PLUG! on Keeping Microsoft Happy · · Score: 2, Funny

    1. Write inflamitory story
    2. Put picture of Gates in gorilla suit
    3. Advertise to flamers on slashdot
    4. Profit!

  11. My Beloved Wife on Not Life After Death -- Email After Death · · Score: 1
    This remind me of a great joke/urban legend.

    It sure is hot down here

  14. Re:how's it ? on Ghost In The Shell 2: Innocence in Theaters · · Score: 1

    How is it?

    Welcome to Slashdot, you might as well ask "How does it end?"

  15. Uh... BS. on Gmail Cracks Down on Third-Party Notifiers · · Score: 1

    First, Gmail's notifier DOES popup to notify you. It even gives you a synopsis of the email, in the popup. Awesome.
    Second, submitter would likley be among the fist to complain to Gmail, if his account was duped by a 3rd party notifier.
    Third, Gmail's notifier does not require a browser window to be open.
    Finially, your comment that they may restrict which browsers can access Gmail is simply flame bait. I can't believe this was put on the front page.
    Go Gmail.

  16. Re:Steam.... on Half-Life 2 Preloading from Steam · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Steam doesn't charge a monthly fee.
    Yet.

  17. Wait a minute.. what? on Star Wars on DVD · · Score: 2

    Isn't this like REALLY old news? What's new about this? It's not like they have anything we didn't already know! This was announced AGES ago.

  18. New Idea on Passwords - 64 Characters, Changed Daily? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Instead of forcing employees to change their passwords all the time, companies instead should implement procedures to only allow 2-3 attempts at your password before requiring the account to be unlocked by an administrator.
    Stop brute forcing at the source.

  19. Re:Long way. on Human Powered Helicopter · · Score: 1

    3 Meters/10 Feet is the top of a 1 storey house. Lets put you in a chair and drop you straight down, see how well you fare.
    If you read about the design, you'd know that the gear and rotor mechanism is DIRECTLY above the pilot, and in the event of a fall from 3 meters, would land directly upon him.

  20. Long way. on Human Powered Helicopter · · Score: 5, Interesting

    3 Meters is a pretty high distance to fall from, even without being surrounded by fast moving metal, cogs, and chains. Considering that they'll want to optimize the weight of the machine, there will almost certainly be no safety cage or equipment.
    I sure as hell wouldn't want to pilot it.

  21. Ha! on How To Lose An Election · · Score: 3, Funny

    Raise your hand if you're surprised to see 'Computer Crash' and the Surname 'McBride' in the same headline.

  22. Monkey Fodder on Macaque Monkey Goes Totally Bipedal · · Score: 1
    "this could be a fascinating study of the macaque's altered brain functions."

    I'm all for Science, but this mentality gives Scientists a bad name.

    Look! That Monkey is doing something differnet! Lets cut it open and find out why!

  23. Obligatory Ghostbusters Quote: on What Magazines Do You Read? · · Score: 1

    Print is Dead.

  24. Kids these days. on Supreme Court Rules Against Anti-Porn Law · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I remember back in the day when I had to pay my older cousins to go get me a dirty magazine, or steal it from my parents closet. Then the hard part was keeping it where it wouldn't be found.
    Boys WILL get their hands on porn. It's GOING to happen. Make the kid paranoid that he's going to be walked in on every few minutes, and it will opening that site the same as trying to sneak a dirty magazine in the house.
    Porn in moderation isn't bad. It's immersion that is going to cause children problems.

  25. Re:Privacy? on RFID License Plates in the UK · · Score: 2, Informative
    My plate number may not be private, but where I park, how fast I travel, the frequency in which I use certain roads, and so on, is.

    Easy way to solve this problem, cover the back of your licence plate in refridgerator magnets. That'll throw off the scanners in a big way, and be completely impossible to notice with the naked eye.

    Wear your tinfoil hat while driving as well, just to be sure.
