  1. Re:But seriously folks... on RoadRunner Blocking Use of Kazaa · · Score: 1
    How many people use Kazaa for stuff that's legal that couldn't be obtained through other avenues? I've yet to find even one.

    How many people use ftp for something other then mp3 trading and warez? As for the other stuff, I'm sure it could be obtained through other avenues (i.e. http)

  2. Re:A large misconception on Linux Games WIth Guns · · Score: 1
    Who knows what type of hidden messages they're putting on the TV? Or on the radio? Or in the clouds? (they have complete control over the weather, you know.)

    There's no solid evidence of any effective hidden messages. If you can survive the propoganda of school and TV and movies and radio and billboards, I'm sure you can survive the propaganda of America's Army.

    Ok, someone had to say it: "It is a three-pronged attack: subliminal, liminal, and superliminal."

    "Superliminal?""

    "HEY YOU, JOIN THE NAVY!"

  3. Re:User friendlyness isn't always good. on Is There Such a Thing as "Too User Friendly"? · · Score: 1
    "User Friendly" does not mean "The user has no control." It means "The user doesn't have to wrestle with the computer," either through obscure commands that you need a manual to know, or options that you can't touch even with the manual.

    Which is worse, the user having to wrestle to get the computer to do what they tell it, or having to find out what exactly they want to tell it.

  4. Re:B O Y C O T T on RIAA to Sue You Now · · Score: 1
    They claimed their service was not about stealing music, yet their logo was a cat with earphones!

    Uh, dude, what's wrong with earphones? I don't think they ever claimed their service wasn't about MUSIC. Unless cats are the official copy-right infringement animal and no one bothered to tell me.

  5. Re:Spoiler if you haven't read the novel... on LotR Two Towers Trailer Online · · Score: 1

    Oh my god! The Lone-gunmen^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Gandalf are^H^H^Hisn't dead!

  6. Re:The real reason on Moby Says Techie Fans = Fewer Sales · · Score: 1

    Tell ya what, when you make an album and release it free on the internet, then you get to bitch about moby. And yeah, damn him for, uh, making money for working.

  7. Re:/. effect - on Friday night?!?! on Got Evil? Buy it Here! · · Score: 1

    I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my lifestyle. (You heard me!)

  8. Re:Love/Hate the idea on DOJ Wants ISPs to Log User Traffic UPDATED · · Score: 1

    Heh, you wanna maybe check if your .sig agrees with your post?

  9. Re:Copy protection doesn't work. on Mysteries Of The CDRW and Backups Revealed · · Score: 1
    I read an article on 'Spyro the Dragon' in Game Developer Magazine. The company that made that game had an amusing protection scheme: They performed several checks in the game for copy protection code. If one of them changed, then one of the 'keys' that the main character (in the game...) had to find would disappear, preventing the player from progressing to the next level.

    It's online here (free reg. required though)

  10. Re:Ahhh, "Nerdiosity" at it's best! on Physics in the Movies · · Score: 1
  11. Re:Could be a sign of desperation... on Record Industry Wants Royalties for Used CD Sales · · Score: 1

    Sure there is. (Ok, I have may weird tastes in music)

  12. Re:This reminds me of a really stupid movie on Record Industry Wants Royalties for Used CD Sales · · Score: 1
    There was some stupid movie I saw on HBO once called kidco, kidcon.

    You mean this one?

  13. Re:Get With the Program! on McAfee Manufactures Virus Threat · · Score: 1

    Uh, there's one in particular.

  14. Re:Other Distributed Computing Projects on Distributed Chess Computing Project · · Score: 1

    Yeah, damn whores posting relevant and interesting information just to get moded up.

  15. Re:Tao Te Cheating Llama on Game Developers Cracking Down on Cheating · · Score: 1
    Of course.. the difference between Man and Beast, when you get down to it, is being able to think about things frm someone else's point of view...

    Even a Chimp can think about something from someone else's perspective

    "Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel"

  16. Re:Well, it'll either go that way.. on The Music Biz Is the New Book Industry · · Score: 1
    Do you know any radio stations where I can hear *that* 24/7? I didn't think so.

    http://www.netoldies.com/

  17. Re:Television! on The Music Biz Is the New Book Industry · · Score: 1

    What is com-pute-ors? Fools, posting to slashdot via whistling like a 20 baud modem is the way to go.

  18. Re:This is great! on Security Through Obsolescence · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah, but have you ever tried to get a permit for a dragon? It's hell.

  19. That's right Einstein on Einstein's Theory To Go Beta Testing · · Score: 1

    Kevin: So, you're doing a little painting.

    Dave: That's right Einstein. How'd ya guess? I mean, I was trying so hard to hide it. Huh Einstein?

    Kevin: Listen, not everything that comes out of my mouth is the theory of relativity. So can the sarcasm.

    Dave: Sorry, did I hurt your genius feelings?

    Kevin: Walk away, walk away... you're the genius, he's a painter... you're clearly the winner here. You figure things out, he paints things up.
