    ...fraudulent Auto Dialers, how long til we can sue the fraudulent Car Dealers as well?

  3. Re:I don't agree with all points on The Player's Bill of Rights · · Score: 1

    I remember first playing Zelda 1, walking straight to the first level right away. Maybe I was just lucky, or maybe the map design was so clever that it tilted me in that direction.

    No, it was because the came with a map leading to the first level printed on a piece of paper.

  4. Could it be... on Old Grandma Hardcore · · Score: 1

    that the Grandma is on Parkinson medication, which leads to computer game addiction?

  5. Re:IANAL on Longhorn's Copy Protection Standard · · Score: 1

    Quid Pro Quo means "An equal exchange or substitution."
    I believe the more modern translation which even preserves the poetical quality of the original is "tit for tat".

  7. Have you seen... on More Responses to de Tocqueville Hatchet Job · · Score: 1

    about two fish.

  9. Re:I don't on Linus Speaks Out, Calls SCO 'Cornered Rat' · · Score: 1

    'Even if x were true, it'd still be false.'

    This is true for very true values of false.

  10. Re:Just wait till some developers get pissed... on KDE 3.2-beta2 - Towards a Better KDE? · · Score: 1

    > The only thing worse than an overused prefix is two overused prefixes.

    You sure? How about

    OpenKonqueror.mono
    FreeKontact.gnu
    etc.

  11. Re:who cares? on Saddam Hussein Arrested · · Score: 1

    >>The international press (for example the press in my country, Austria)
    >Before I go any further, I just want to compliment you on your country's Glock pistols...great stuff! :-)

    Yeah, well we make other great stuff too.

    The cannon in the former link was point of great controversy here in the early 90s because Austrians sold those to Iraq AND Iran during the First Gulf (Iran-Iraq) War. You know, because we are a Neutral country.
    Trust an Austrian when he calls something hypocrisy. We know that in and out.

    >(Just out of curiousity, are you allowed to own >them?)
    It's the standard sidearm for our police.

    It is rather hard to get a weapon license (which allows you to OWN a firearm, and transport it to the gun range or hunting grounds), and almost impossible to get a "weapon carrying permission" which allows you to carry it on your body.

    If you have one of those permissions, it's no problem to have a Glock though.

  16. Re:What about.... on LG CD-ROMs Destroyed by Mandrake 9.2 · · Score: 1

    I haven't a clue if this is right; it could be a start, but probably isn't.
    True, true, and true.

  17. Re:Obligatory analysis on LOTR:Return Of The King Trailer · · Score: 1

    Prediction:
    Under the premise that "Scouring" scenes have been shot at all, some "Extended DVD Collection" will contain the "bonus" ending scenes.

    Short cuts fasing in and out with some slow happy music playing, and at the end a four-line dialogue when Frodo joins the elves and Gandalf leaving Middle Earth.

  18. Re:A theory.. on The Matrix: Revolutions Theatrical Trailer · · Score: 1

    Agent Smith is the only "human" in this world. He's the one spreading
    himself like a virus replicating himself over and over until the Matrix
    will finally get overloaded and fail.


    Why should it? Smith simply hijacks existing programs/matrix_personae, he is not a forkbomb.

  19. Re:P2P on Slashback: Blaster, Sabers, Canada · · Score: 4, Interesting

    How about protocols like BitTorrent?
    Although I might "share" a file, I never give away the whole thing. I only offer very tiny bits of a file to anyone who asks.

    AFAIK, copyright law permits giving away small"excerpts" of copyrighted materials.

    So provided I never permit upload of the whole file to a single downloader, would I be in the clear?

  20. Re:Micropayments are doomed on Fame, Fortune and Micropayments · · Score: 1

    So are centipayments - a micropayment is not 5 cents , 10 cents (decicent) , but fractions of 1 cent, milli for 100ths micro for 1000th.

    Except if we're talking U.S. Dollars' cents they sould prolly be called something like furcents or sixthcents.

  21. Re:newsdry? on Memory Activity LEDs · · Score: 1

    Cynism.
    It is full of Cynism. Sarcasm is what sometimes makes it beareable.

  22. Aha! on Beer-Coated CDs are Optical Biocomputers · · Score: 1

    FTA:

    Yeeah. Right.

    I'm merely observing.

  24. how come... on WebSense Patents Censorware System · · Score: 1

    ... and I'm serious, how come for the last 15 or so slashdot story headers (and the text below too) I felt like going "fuck you, that dosn't concern me at all".

    There is no way to save this post to go be mod'd into "-1 Flamebait" oblivion anyway, so I'll just post my theory: I don't live in the land of the alleged Land Of The Free.

    BTW, if you're offended by this, don't bother to reply.
    Please.

  25. When will the DVD be out? on Ask the 'Geek Candidate' for California Governor · · Score: 2, Funny

    Can I get the whole "California Elections" comedy series on DVD?

    Will there be a computer game?

    Will I be able to buy candidates' portrait cups at Mc Donald's?

    Know any good erotic fan-fiction sites?
