  1. Its come full circle.. on Protecting Our Parents' PCs? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Before they were controlling what I should and I shouldn't watch, now I'm controlling what they should and shouldn't download and install.

    Ahh, the life cycle.

  2. Re:Moderation is sometimes necessary on Viacom and DishNetwork Battle On Air Over Contract · · Score: 1

    Congratulations, you know how to use google. This information was readily available to anyone who wanted to find it anyways. It is me, not that you're bothering me any.

  3. Re:Moderation is sometimes necessary on Viacom and DishNetwork Battle On Air Over Contract · · Score: 1

    Neither are a crime, so nope, I don't see a reason to have that post deleted. (No offense to the poor schmuck.)

  4. Re:FSF Members only? on RMS & FSF Directors To Meet With FSF Members · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Haha, mod parent up! ;)

  5. FSF Members only? on RMS & FSF Directors To Meet With FSF Members · · Score: 4, Funny

    FSF members will have ample opportunity to ... eat.

    Free food? Shit, where do I sign up?

  6. Re:Censorship? on Viacom and DishNetwork Battle On Air Over Contract · · Score: 1

    I know, my deal is, I'm just against censorship, in any form. It may not be illegal, or unethical (depending on who you ask,) but it still bothers me.

    I totally agree though.

  7. Re:Censorship? on Viacom and DishNetwork Battle On Air Over Contract · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No, it's not censorship... jesus christ.

    Censorship is still censorship. I don't support the KKK, but I respect their right to say what they want openly without being told what they can and cannot say.

  8. Censorship? on Viacom and DishNetwork Battle On Air Over Contract · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't have really had an opinion - if they hadn't tried to hide the messages being sent on those channels. Now I'm going to have to side with Viacom (not that I am a supporter of Viacom in any way shape or form.)

  9. Perfect... on Gates on Spam · · Score: 1

    If this were the case, I would have little to no incentive to send e-mails at that point. I don't use my cell phone's text messages for the same reason. Who wants to pay for a service that is already free? Besides, I still get junk mail, and that costs postage too, but it doesn't stop the companies from sending it to me.

  10. Re:This just in... on HardOCP Sues Infinium Over Legal Threats · · Score: 1

    im going to kill the next person who uses this tired ass joke. got anything clever to say regarding our phantom overlords or perhaps soviet russia? for shame, "moderators"!

    All I've got to say is Mod Parent up! (Oh, and PS, please don't hurt me, I once made a reference to Infinium Labs and DNF.)

  11. Score one for the good guys? on HardOCP Sues Infinium Over Legal Threats · · Score: 1

    After reading about SCO in the last news post, I can't help but be glad to see the idiot get the working end of the legal stick for a change.

  12. Re:Neither here nor there on Judge Orders SCO, IBM To Produce Disputed Code · · Score: 4, Interesting

    A fair ruling IMHO.

    A fair ruling is bad as far as SCO is concerned. All their stalling clearly shows their lack of real evidence and therefore this is going to be end of this BS. (I should hope.)

  13. Re:And what happens? on Judge Orders SCO, IBM To Produce Disputed Code · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm not doubting what you said - but you have to look at the logic of such an argument.

    "Uh, they're using our code. We want licensing fees. Oh, but we can't tell you what code that is.. we'd be revealing a secret.."

  14. Re:Lucas must be focusing elsewhere... on Sam & Max Sequel Canceled · · Score: 1

    Whoops, wrong URL.

    Lol, well, there goes that effect.

    Here's the real wine.

  15. Lucas must be focusing elsewhere... on Sam & Max Sequel Canceled · · Score: 1

    Perhaps on his new wine?

  16. Re:FOR GAMING? on Gyroscopic Wireless Mouse · · Score: 5, Funny

    seriously, if it moves based on tilting, that would suck for games.

    Unless you attached it to your head and used mouse-look in a first-person shooter.

  17. Order now.. on Gyroscopic Wireless Mouse · · Score: -1, Troll

    Before all the other idiots who barely need a $120 mouse rush out and get them.

  18. Re:Wow... on Meet the Nasalnaut · · Score: 1

    I've been modded up +5 informative? lol..

    Either the mod's sense of humor is as twisted as mine, or they are turning into robots.

  19. Wow... on Meet the Nasalnaut · · Score: 3, Informative

    I think I speak for us all when I say, these are some of the worst puns I've ever heard.

    God bless you, Nasalnauts. *tear*

  20. Hrmm.. on DRM Technology To Be Added To MP3 Format · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Just one more reason I love ogg.

    Besides, someone will just find a way around this, there always is, nothing ever works long against these ingenius pirates.

  21. Re:When, on iPod Mini Autopsy · · Score: 5, Funny

    will they put out the f*cking $100 one? The one we were all hoping for? Right after Duke Nukem Forever comes out, right?

    Of course they will. Right before Infinium Labs releases the Phantom.

  22. Re:"this technology is scary" on Germany Begins Iris Scans at Frankfurt Airport · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think that has probably been said by someone about pretty much every technology we use today. It isn't the technology that's scary, it's what people might do with it. Almost every new technology has the potential for good, as well as evil.

    I completely agree. But with a congress passing legislation like the Patriot Act, I believe the potential for evil is reasonably feared.

  23. Minority Report on Germany Begins Iris Scans at Frankfurt Airport · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I fear a bleak future run along the lines of Minority Report's eye scanning. Honestly, this technology is scary.

  24. Re:Why bother? on Hamster-controlled MIDI · · Score: 1

    Now the server is actually on fire somewhere and only about ten Slashdotters got to hear the hamsters play.

    To quote Kent Brockman:
    Oh the humanity...




    Anyways..

  25. Hamsters... WHY HAMSTERS!? on Hamster-controlled MIDI · · Score: 1, Funny

    HAMSTERS!? AHHHH!!!

    If I see one more hamster themed product, I'm going to kill someone.

    Seriously, that fuzzy little rodent species is getting way too much attention. The website and dancing musical hamsters are quite possibly the most obnoxious thing ever invented.
