  1. Just re-open Rolphton NPD. on CDN Forces Reactor Online Against Safety Regulations · · Score: 1

    I'm sure with a little duct tape and elbow grease that plant can opened once again.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Power_Demonstration
    Yes I used to live in Deep River, and my father used to work in Rolphton. It's not the middle of nowhere contrary to popular belief.

  2. Re:20 and counting..... on Leopard Upgraders Getting "Blue Screen of Death" · · Score: 1

    I guess expecting what should be "the norm" as susccess means you actually expect to be dissapointed every time?

  3. Bad pun... on Porn Spammers Get Five Years Each · · Score: 1

    I guess they got what was coming for them.

  4. Essential reading... on Pentagon Urges Space-Based Solar Power · · Score: 1

    I hear Ben Bova has this solar-power-from-orbit thing all figured out!

  5. How much are these "levies" anyways... on Canada's Copyright Cops Give Go-Ahead For iPod Tax · · Score: 1

    I buy 100 spindles of blank DVD's for 29.99$ + Harper Tax, on a regular basis. That's 435GB (or so) of space that "can" be used to store "downloaded music". As long as the levies are of a sized-based nature and not based on the MSRP of a product I see no issues with this kind of system. As long as the money goes to the people it should go to, I'd rather have that AND my arse covered in case the RIAA people find a way to invade Canada.

    For every single post that cries about "I never break the law" there are hundreds (thousands?) more who don't have a voice on this site and download songs off the intarwebs like it's going out of style. Try to have some perspective people.

  6. Either way... on Astronomers Again Baffled by Solar Observations · · Score: 1

    If it was true or not, I would still be equally baffled. (which may be the purpose of the article)

  7. Better title: on Can Technology Fix the Health Care System? · · Score: 1

    Can technology fix the technology that broke the healthcare system that was never correct in the first place?

  8. Visa... on 2012 Olympics Security to be Chosen by Sponsorship · · Score: 1

    It's everywhere your security wants to be.

  9. I'd rather get XP on it! on Mandriva Linux pre-installed on Intel's Classmate · · Score: 1

    One of the screenies has it. Doubles the price though, I suppose.

  10. DRM free... on Steve Jobs Announces (some) DRM-free iTunes · · Score: -1, Troll

    I'll just stick to my plain-old "free" music thankyouverymuch!

  11. If you want... on Is Flixster Using Deceptive Viral Practices? · · Score: 1

    You can just put your /. username and password as a reply to this reply and I'll be sure to send all your friends invites to Slashdot (as if we didn't have enough hosers already)...

  12. I for one... on Single Gene Gives Mice Three-Color Vision · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Welcome our new 100-million color-seeing overlordesses.

  13. Budget on CBC Recommends Linux To Average User · · Score: 5, Funny

    Since CBC has a budget the same as most of it's viewership yearly income (yea rly), no wonder it reccomends Linux as a viable alternative to Window$.

  14. In other news... on US Group Wants Canada Blacklisted Over Piracy · · Score: 2, Funny

    15 million Canadians still agree that "Starbucks" should be blacklisted.

  15. Hacking Democracy anyone? on U.S. Bars Lab From Testing E-Voting Machines · · Score: 3, Funny

    Never in a million years did I expect this to happen.

  16. I think Ben is going bonkers... on Firefly Marathon on SciFi, September 18th · · Score: 1

    And likewise all the actors from Farscape and Star Trek they seem to like keep hiring and firing them.

  17. Tomshardware on A 4.1 GHz Dual Core at $130? · · Score: 1

    Is a junk site. Stay away if you value you er, values. YES! another pen is contest!

  18. Re:You're Competing with Piracy! on Warner Bros. to Sell Movies Over BitTorrent · · Score: 1
    Offer downloads so cheap that you run the pirates out of business but leave quality lacking so true fans will always buy the DVDs.


    So basically the movie will have the title credits and the end credits. Small files though.
  19. El Reg.... on Digital Music Downloads Too Expensive? · · Score: 1

    Why is nothing there only considered news here when some fancy schmany outfit says the same thing many months later?

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/11/16/parallel_i mports_australia/

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/08/09/oz_legit_d ownloads_fail_two/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/08/08/oz_legit_d ownloads_fail/

    El Reg users have known it sucks to be an Aussie if you want online tunes for a long damn time.

  20. Ohh... on Robotic Legs Instead of Wheelchairs · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure they got everything under control down there.

  21. Because... on AMD Bumps Up Socket AM2 Launch Date · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Nobody ever reads El Reg or Inq. Not news, I read it last week.

  22. Just get... on Asus PW191 LCD Review · · Score: 1

    The gateway 21" Widescreen. Sure it's more but it's the best monitor out there today in that price range and size. PiP is so slick.

  23. Re:The defense moves on New Internet Regulation Proposed · · Score: 1

    People still go to museums?

  24. That explains why... on AT&T Forwarding All Internet Traffic to NSA? · · Score: 1

    ,since AT&T is Blizzard's ISP of choice, all us WoW user's connections have gone to hell in a handbasket.

  25. Email is not the top-level. on Why Email Is Still The Most Adopted Collaboration Tool · · Score: 1

    "Why do users revert back to email as soon as they hit a snag in the system?"

    The better question is: Why do users revert back to sticky notes and phone-tag as soon as they hit a snag on the Exchange servers?

    Or...Why do commuters revert back to driving cars to work as soon as they hit a snag in the public tansit system?

    People, in general, are lazy and will do things that they have been doing for a long time. Path of least resistance FTW.
