  1. Re:Wow, this story is confusing. on U.S. Sides with Record Labels Over DMCA Subpoena Powers · · Score: 1

    Ashcroft is very dangerous to the health of the American public. The guy seriously scares the shit out of me. Same goes for Rumsfeld. They both have that look that says "You're a fuck up and we'll straighten your ass out." They are two bad mada...*shut your mouth*

  2. Re:Throwing money at this will not solve the probl on Patent Office Shows Record Backlog · · Score: 1

    They aren't as bad as the INS that's for sure. The backlog for a green card at the Nebraska office is 4 years and 3 months. Hell, if you lose a document and want to replace you can expect to wait at lease a year. Talk about a whole system needing an overhaul.

  3. Re:I don't know what to say... on DARPA Grant Cancelled for OpenBSD and U-Penn? · · Score: 1

    Think it is time for Theo and company to get acquainted with the American system and sue. This is America and you can't simply cancel a grant based on a pereson's view on war. Time to take the DoD to court and if that doesn't fly the individuals responsible.

  4. Re:I agree with you on Could Doom 3 be a Xbox Exclusive? · · Score: 1

    By the way, you still owe me $20.

    I do? Since when?

  5. They can afford to burn money. on Microsoft Also Wants Universal Music? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Smart money shouldn't be going after dying music companies.

  6. Re:I agree with you on Could Doom 3 be a Xbox Exclusive? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If Microsoft splashes enough money id would bite. Like everyone id has it's price. When money comes into play everyone is a whore.

  7. Throughput is depended on many things on 802.11n: High Throughput, Not Just Fast Wireless · · Score: 1

    Too many workstations on the network and you got a recipe for collision. There are just too many factors to dramatically increase throughput.

  8. Re:In other news... on Ellison: Linux Will Soon Decimate MS Windows · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I wonder what Ellison has to say about the future Postgres and MySQL. Will they ever become viable competitor and "slaughtered, wiped out, taken from market dominance to irrelevance" Oracle?

  9. Re:Getting rid of fossil fuels? on From Turkey Guts to Fuel Oil · · Score: 0

    If it were true one would see Exxonmobil, BP, and company would be scrambling for dear life right about now. This story is obviously hogwash.

  10. Re: Zenith ownership on LCD Price Fixing? · · Score: 0

    Give that they are owned by a Korean company and the fact that they do most of their production is done in south east Asia i don't consider them to be an American company. Hell, the likes of Motorola are bitching about Korean conglomerates being subsided by the Korean government and that includes Zenith's parent company.

  11. Re:Naturally it IS price fixing on LCD Price Fixing? · · Score: 0

    I don't want to be a ball-buster here but Zenith is a South Korean company.

  12. Custom Weapon of Mass Destruction on Life Made to Order · · Score: 0

    If you have watched 12 Monkeys then you know the world will be destroyed by scientist. In conclusion, scientists are evil, engineers are good.

  13. Sun takes the cake. on Sun Drops Linux Distro · · Score: 0

    My company was in the market to buy Sun Hardware and they wanted to charge us 240K per-server and that was with a 40% discount! We got the same hardware from a Sun Authorized dealer for 90K. You're companies management team must one of the most incompetent. They don't seem to have any plans and always seem to be rethinking it.

    Their actions can't be good for employee moral either.

  14. Do you agree question. on Ask Nicholas Petreley About Linux Usage Statistics · · Score: 0

    Without substantial amount of support from game developers Linux will never become competitive in the consumer desktop market. Do you agree with this statement? If no, why?

  15. As Francisco d'Anconia would say on Linux Xbox Project Seeks Microsoft Signature · · Score: 0

    What for?

  16. Here is where artist can make money. on Instant Concert CDs? · · Score: 0

    Since it cost way over 50 dollars to go to a concert now days and since it isn't costing the studios any money to make and package the CD I see no reason why Clear Channel (evil) can't do it. As far as the quality, the Dave Matthews Band's live CDs aren't too bad.

  17. Dumbass Slashdot Admins on Why VHS Was Better Than Betamax · · Score: -1, Troll

    You idiots aren't doing your job. You should be fired and someone from Indian should be brought over to run this show.

  18. Wait a minute.... on Christmas in 2050 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I was promised a flying car 50 years ago...Where is my flying car? I want my flying car!!!

  19. Re:Thanks! on Open Source, Real Media Mega-player? · · Score: 1

    AOL killed Netscape. Netscape really lacked the man-power necessary to continue development after AOL purchased it.

    It's a mute point now seeing how AOL itself is in deep doo doo.

  20. Good news on Scientists Grow Human Thymus From Stem Cells · · Score: 1

    It's about time men grew organs for themselves. It is just then next logical step.

  21. 802.11 was here first!!!! on WiFi, Light Bulbs, And The FCC · · Score: 1

    I got Phillips light bulbs all over my house already so it's wireless LAN for me.

  22. Question on Will Cable Unplug the File Swappers? · · Score: 1

    Would it be fair to say that cable companies getting together and agreeing to fix prices is a serious valuations of the law? What constitutes a cartel?

  23. Re:-1 TROLL on Linux at Industrial Light and Magic · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    If you say so...At lease I'm not an Anonymous Coward. Dull Troll!

  24. Re:Great News on Linux at Industrial Light and Magic · · Score: 1

    Here is what I'm thinking.

    1. Sony Releases its PlayStation Development Kit to the public (with some restrictions of course...don't want MS getting its hands on it).
    2. Sony starts shipping PCs that have Linux pre-installed.
    3. Sony encourages game developers to develop games for both Linux and PC at the same time with little to no extra development time (ala Windows and XBox style).
    4. Sony encourages other hardware manufactures with incentives to ship Linux drivers and desktop systems.
    5. Sony makes money as a publisher.

    Can this be done and besides money what are the obstacles to this idea?

  25. Re:mod parent as offtopic! on Linux at Industrial Light and Magic · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Zero...i just felt like asking this question! Is that OK with you Sir?
