  1. nothing new on Web Profits in the Gutter · · Score: 1

    Porn has been the instigation for nearly every modern communication medium. If it wasn't for porn we probably wouldn't be using: VCRs, DVDs, Pay-per-View TV, cable TV and the internet. We have porn to thank for all of these.

  2. Local experts on Modern Day Search Engine Manipulations · · Score: 2

    You guys must have allready read that 'still happen?' article.

    I have certainly seen some people taking the articles advice here on slashdot: "* Give yourself some freebies by using the signature line or link to address on discussion boards to point to your own site. Throw your opinion into every discussion regardless of your experience or lack thereof."

  3. Re:Bout fricken time! on IMAX Develops Movie Transfer Technology · · Score: 1

    Or the new Indiana Jones movie when it comes out.

  4. A bird? A plane? on A Contrarian View of Open Source · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    What is a Contrarian?

  5. Arrrr, matie on Computers That Thrive in Salty, Humid Environments? · · Score: 2

    Are there other issues to worry about aside from the salt and the humidity?

    You should be concerned about pirates!

  6. Re:Let's follow the logic, shall we? on Malaysia Says Piracy (Might Be) OK for Learning · · Score: 2

    I think the free version also watermarks.

  7. Re:depressing on Chip a Playstation, Go to Jail · · Score: 2

    Hobbiest development is probably OK. Selling your developments is what will get you in trouble.

  8. Re:Additional Security on Additional Security in the Linux Kernel? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Remove the boot floppy from the disk drive.

  9. Re:point? on One Terabyte On a 12-inch^H^H^H^Hcm Disk · · Score: 2

    Can you say V C D? A movie is ~1.3 GB. If I wanted a decent collection I would need a lot of storage space.

  10. Alternative News & MP3s on Can Newspapers Save Local Music? · · Score: 2

    Here is a good example: The Synthesis

  11. pr0n spam on Firm Pays 6.5 Million for Fax Spamming · · Score: 1

    If CmdrTaco would stop signing up at all those pr0n sites he wouldn't get so much spam!

  12. Re:the other direction? on A Linux User Goes Back · · Score: 1

    I said why does *nix have to be a pain in the ass. Not the community

  13. the other direction? on A Linux User Goes Back · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If this guy switched from Linux to Windows XP what hope is there for me switching from XP to Red Hat like I have been trying to do? So far I have had problems with getting sound and printing to work on Linux and I havent' even tried to get my scanner or CDRW drive to work. The Linux communities' intentions are certainly in the right place but why does *nix have to be such a pain in the ass for workstation use.

  14. Re:I love sealand on HavenCo Doing Well · · Score: 1

    Can I get a visa? I would like to visit.

  15. What is this sticky stuff? on Nintendo Hires Walking Gamers · · Score: 1

    Beware the sticky joystick in the middle...

  16. Re:Piers Anthony Fanfiction on Talk To Xanth Creator Piers Anthony · · Score: 2

    I purchased nearly all of the Piers Anthony books I own (Xanth, Incarnations, Space Tyrant, Adept, etc) from the local used bookstore. What do you think about that Piers?

  17. Re:Juvenile vs Adult fiction on Talk To Xanth Creator Piers Anthony · · Score: 5, Interesting

    You should check out the first Bio of a Space Tyrant book. It is targeted at a more mature audience and one of the best books I have read.

    I would like to know what motivated Mr. Anthony to write books that are so different from each other, ie I enjoyed the Xanth series when I was about 11 or 12, but wouldn't read it now but the Bio of a Space Tyrant is still good today at the ripe old age of 22.

  18. Quake for the Stupid on Quake For the Blind · · Score: 2

    Now if someone will just make Quke for the stupid I will be set!

  19. Re:PBS will air these new episodes too on BBC To Revive Doctor Who Next Year · · Score: 2

    I was just about to complain about this being "too UK-centric" but PBS saves the day. I know nothing about Dr. Who but I will be sure to check it out when it shows up on PBS.

  20. Re:2 words on Options for Adults with Renewed Interest in Math? · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, I had to buy a $90 TI-83 also. It was good for all 4 classes though.

  21. Re:2 words on Options for Adults with Renewed Interest in Math? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I agree. I took 4 math classes at my local community college and enjoyed them all. The professors were better than some of the ones at the University I attend now. It was very affordable, about $13 per unit plus a few fees and a book.

  22. Gs on Ask 'Rocket Guy' Brian Walker · · Score: 1

    What effect do high g-forces have on your sex drive?

  23. Gandalph on LotR Two Towers Trailer Online · · Score: 2, Funny

    Holy shit, Gandalph is alive?

  24. rubbish on One Billion Computers Sold Worldwide · · Score: 4, Interesting

    How many of those billion are sitting in land fills?

  25. Re:No commercials! on World Cup Final · · Score: 1

    I think the rest of the world may be on to something. Maybe soccer is better than American football...
