  1. Re:Sco wants to be bought out. on SCO Threatens Red Hat and SuSE · · Score: 1

    Torches on the right.
    Pitchforks on the left.

  2. Re:At least this won't stifle innovation. on "Super-DMCA" Bills In Tennessee and Arkansas · · Score: 1

    None at all. I live in Memphis, and the only tech jobs we have are support and management. And even then, it's mostly limited to companies that have their HQ's here (Autozone, FedEx).

  3. about TLDs on Interesting and Educational Web Pages for Children? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Teach them about Top Level Domains(TLD's) - lets they start typing stuff like this.

  4. Re:Not general population's fault on Congress to Make PATRIOT Act Permanent · · Score: 1

    When you take into account that both the Democratic and Republican parties take huge sums of "soft money" from groups as varying as AARP and Jack Valenti's MPAA, there is very little difference - the politicos do what they get bribed to do, whether it's the passing of the DMCA or propping up Social Security.

  5. Re:And in other news... on Newly Discovered Fault Under L.A. · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you're mistaken for Herr Ashcroft? Donald Rumsfeld seems to uppity to not like dancing.

  6. So on Newly Discovered Fault Under L.A. · · Score: 1

    who wants to start a fundraiser for Hillary Rosen and Jack Valenti to move to houses that reside on this fault line? After all, it's their fault.

  7. Re:Wow... on RIAA Seeks Estimated $97.8 Billion From MTU Student · · Score: 1

    Along with a heaping mound of nuclear reactors to power all them boxen. :/

    Or even worse, they could buy many blimps and bombard 3rd world countries with Britney Spears and N'Sync CD's.

  9. Or... on SCO Group Lawsuit Q&A · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Microsoft could just buy SCO, and thus ... oh wait, Microsoft would never do that....

  10. you mean like, on Contractor Proposes Laser Rifles for US Military · · Score: 2, Funny

    This Laser Rifle? I got one of these stored away with my Power Armor Mk II.

  11. As on Michigan First With A Law That Could Outlaw VPNs · · Score: 1

    As my NWN Dwarf says, "To your weapons!" ...Not that a wireless keyboard for a shield and a stun-enabled screwdriver (w/ all the capaciters on my TigerMP board) is really going to hold them off, though.

  12. Re:hey batter! on EDS Silent On New CEO's IT Consulting Past · · Score: 1

    Well, at least he's not referred to as $last name, $first name

  13. Re:Root? on Review of the Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 · · Score: 1

    The SL-5500 runs as root, but the newer SL-5600 runs as a normal user.

  14. Re:Hmmm.. on Broad Bills to Protect 'Communications Services' · · Score: 1

    Memphis TN here. We have Ma Bellsouth for DSL, RR, and a couple local ISP's that are barely alive that do xDSL. I think XO also does xDSL here.

  15. Re:It's great..... on Games on Demand · · Score: 1

    ISP's Capping games they have on demand is crooked. The games are hosted at the ISP, and thus don't consume any of the ISP's Internet bandwidth (unless you play multiplayer, but even then I seriously doubt it would reach 5gb in a month).

  17. Re:M$ says on Microsoft Refuses To Fix NT 4.0 Exploit · · Score: 1

    I read the parent post, and for a moment I thought the MS exec was saying, "Fisting is too hard for us. Let's just stop reporting it"

  18. easy way to get rid of the DMCA: on TEACH vs. DMCA Showdown Looming · · Score: 1

    have every Slashdotter buy a can of Spam, take it to MPAA headquarters, and put it in their sewer system. Thus, the MPAA would be forced to wade in their own feces (instead of mailing them to Capital Hill in the form of legal letters). Anyways, just keep their sewer drain jammed until they agree to lobby for the repeal of the DMCA :P

  19. Re:Office Depot XP on Office Depot: Windows XP Apps Must Be Microsoft-Approved · · Score: 1

    What about Star Trek: Elite Force II? This article puts me in the mood to frag some Borg.

  20. Re:Dreamcatcher & the new Animatrix short on New Animatrix Trailer Available · · Score: 1

    As I recall, Switch was the buzz-cut Blonde in both the Matrix and in real life. I think you were confusing Switch with Epoch (or Apoch, I dunno).

  21. Re:CPU is discontinued? on Zaurus SL-5600/SL-5500 Comparison Whitepaper · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it says:
    Intel is going to stop producing the PXA250 soon, if it hasn't already. Handheld makers must switch to the new chips by March 28. The new chips will cost the same as the current ones.

    Which means Sharp won't be making handhelds with the PXA250 pretty soon.

  22. Re:The C700 is much nicer on Zaurus SL-5600/SL-5500 Comparison Whitepaper · · Score: 1

    You might find it a good thing to contact some of the developers at the OpenZaurus project - they have experience compiling custom Kernels for the Z, which involves setting it for the 32mb SL-5000D and 64mb SL-5500.

  24. what a crock on LCD Overtaking CRT · · Score: 1

    The only market not susceptible to the shift will be gaming and graphics-intensive applications, where the refresh rates of LCDs are not satisfactory yet."

    LCD's aren't satisfactory my ass. My Samsung 152T works better in at Tribes 2 and Q3A:Urban Terror better than my Viewsonic PS790 by a longshot. And no, it doesn't ghost. Perhaps because it's one of the pricy ~$400 models.

  25. Re:Zaurus on Handheld Programming? · · Score: 1

    I agree, though since the SL-C700 has the same amount of onboard RAM and Flash ROM, I'm tempted to sway toward's the IBM PPC-based handheld if it gets produced.
