  1. Obligatory on The Future of Windows Graphic Technology · · Score: 2, Funny

    So when I update my display drivers for Duke Nukem Forever, I won't have to restart!

  2. If they were to bring in Terry Gilliam as director on Hitchhikers Guide Movie Might Become a Trilogy · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I would stop panicing.

  3. Re:Finally! on What The Dormouse Said · · Score: 1

    And CowboyNeil helped create slashdot...
    where did it all go wrong???!?

  4. Re:Marketingspeak... on What The Dormouse Said · · Score: 1

    Market apeal, of course.

  5. example? on What The Dormouse Said · · Score: 1

    I am not disagreeing with you. However, it would be nice to see an example.

  6. Not quite... on A Look at Silicon Valley Cafeterias · · Score: 1

    ...but I would be happy to make her do the registration for me.

  7. Re:As a Canadian... on U.S. Rejects Canadian Rejection of DMCA · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I say tell them to do something that actually matters, eg, ratify Kyoto. Then, maybe I would talk about DMCA.

  8. Rather than registration... on A Look at Silicon Valley Cafeterias · · Score: 3, Informative

    I know there are ways to bypass registration, or one could just register, but that is a lot more painful than this post. Grandparent deserves the karma.

  9. Re:One problem... on Celera Opens Up DNA Database · · Score: 1

    I don't know... but I do know the fellow who has the patent on viewing said data by means of a graphical or textual representation through a network consisting of interconnecting computational devices...

  10. Be afraid... on Celera Opens Up DNA Database · · Score: 1

    No more security through obscurity... and if they do have security patches forme, I would rather not have to recompile.

  11. I will call you a nut on Longhorn Beta is Disappointing · · Score: 1

    If you want sleek, mechanical, and sexy, get yourself a bash prompt.

    On a more serious note, I like a gui that takes up little space, does everything needed, and is not distracting. Win 95 through 2000 seemed pretty good at that... but winamp is the best imho. This new thing has winxp sized bars and 1/2 95 buttons. Oh well... I will be running linux 3.2.48 on my 10 Ghz box by the time longhorn comes out.

  12. On the contrary... on DVD Truce Between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD? · · Score: 0

    ...the fighting between the HD-ray and the Blue-DVD camps will be more fierece than ever.

  13. I am tempted to mod that troll... on Linux Cookbook · · Score: 1

    ...because you called RMS "smelly."

  14. Then... on Texas Bill to Filter Highway Rest Stop Internet · · Score: 1

    perhaps they should also make all open WiFi routers illegal. Data will always find some way to get through, and the best thing to do is find those who abuse children, rather than sweeping them under the proverbial rug. Of course, then people get angry.

  15. Speak with your votes? on Texas Bill to Filter Highway Rest Stop Internet · · Score: 1

    Voting is now a branch of game theory, where one must attempt to find the best possible outcome, rather than a method of expressing opinion. Complaints like this are what is needed to make a difference. I doubt that an issue like this would make an issue to the majority at a vote, but to those who care about freedom on the internet (or porn) it is important. Also, a precedent set in Texas could affect other areas. Speaking with votes won't make a difference, but communication like this will.

  16. Well, if you buy a three year waranty... on Obtaining Used LCD Parts? · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...The device will last for three years, you can be sure of that.

  17. In terms of cost... on Water Spectacular in Episode III? · · Score: 1

    ...Computer special effects are not used to add detail, but to reduce price, afaik. This way, a few modelers and skinners can put together a large amount of the cast, and significantly reduce the crew. Cheap motion capture, out of work animators... you got yourself a cheap movie.

  18. Someone who has mod points... on Crack Found in Shuttle Tank · · Score: -1, Redundant

    MOD REDUNDANT EVERYTHING ABOUT COCAINE! Oh, except for the first post about it, that was relevant and important.

  19. ok, here we go.... on Build Your Own Bluetooth Sniper Rifle · · Score: 1

    1: In Soviet Russia, the Bluetooth enabled beowulf cluster imagines YOU!, Oh, and collects Paris Hilton's phone numbers. 2: ?? 3: Profit!

  20. They seem to be ripping off Open Source naming. on WinFS to be available in WinXP · · Score: 1

    hmm, WinFS Is Not a FileSystem? Mod me redundant, I care not.

  21. Stating the obvious... on Wireless Shopping Carts Run Windows CE · · Score: 1

    Imagine a Beowulf cluster of those!

  22. Not offtopic, it was a reply to a troll on Electrolytic Etching, For What A Dremel Can't Do · · Score: 1

    and is hence out of context

  23. Only as exact as one's materials on Electrolytic Etching, For What A Dremel Can't Do · · Score: 1

    Theory and practice are two seperate entities. How pure is the water? How high is the voltage? What is the metal's composition? How accuratly has everything been measured to?

    In other words, "Science is accurate, the world is frequently innacurate."

  24. Agreed... on RMS Blasts Sun's Open Source Patent Licensing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    lots of idiots on this board simply saying "RMS is teh l4m3 lololol." Most people seem not to have read the article. Sun is just doing what Apple did with Darwin, and "giving" the right to use Solaris code for Sun's (and Solaris users, yes) benifit, while preventing the code from being used elsewhere, and sailing under the open source flag. If they want to do that, fine, but I am glad to see RMS complain.

  25. Ignorant fool on Steam Users Steamed · · Score: 1

    I want to test my new graphics card!
