  1. Re:DOS days on Open Watcom 1.0 Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    No it doesn't. Your favorite distro might, but last I checked the Linux kernel does not come with a compiler, maybe you're talking about Emacs?

  2. Re:17 of 20 gigs useable? on Sony Combines Pocket Drive with 802.11 · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Yea, this IS Sony, the same that are protecting you (Ok, maybe their good name, but you still get the benefits) from crippled CDs.

  3. Re:Protection?? Nah... on Listen To Your Game Boy Advance · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Um, the GBA has a 3.5 mm headphone jack right? 20 seconds.

  4. Re:Jet fighters and Missle Defense on Where Should Space Exploration Go From Here? · · Score: 1

    It's much easier to "pushing the limits in a bunch of different technologies" when you have literally over 10 times the ammount of funding.

  5. The obvious answer on Where Should Space Exploration Go From Here? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, space.

    "Does the Slashdot community have any more insight into this situation?"

    Do you really have to ask for the *BSD is dying trolls?

  9. Easy on Quickly Filling Up 150GB of Legal Media Files? · · Score: 1

    Mirror all Emacs versions, binary and source. Not only will you have a few TB, but hard drive makers will be throwing bids at you

    Geee... uuuu... aaiiee? Oooh, those old thigngs. You pick and skin them yourself, doogan.

  11. Re:28 Years on Copyright Rumblings · · Score: 1

    Riiiiight, lets go ask Sammy or Data East to release their works. What, they don't exist anymore? Damn... Lets get Joe Strummer on the phone and see if he's game. What? He's dead?! See my point?

  12. Re:just a note on Steam Powered Underwater Jet Engine · · Score: 4, Funny

    The water-jet engine was invented by a New Zealander some years ago. The difference with this thing is it uses compressed steam rather than the usual propellar



    I'll let you figure this one out yourself....

  13. HEAD radio... on Sen. Feingold Reintroduces Radio Competition Bill · · Score: 4, Funny

    Making sure every station, every where, sounds exactly the same!

  14. Re:This isn't Parsec on Parsec To Be Released As Open Source · · Score: 1

    I've played a 3 year old in Quakeworld Matador, and he OWNED me. I suppose it's becuase his dad is like a Quake god, but that's not the point ( ;

    I thought the same =/

  16. Re:Where are the IN SOVIET RUSSIA posts? on Tetris AI System · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I'm sure there was entertainment in coding this, though.

    Niether is that of filetrading networks. Care to think before you open your mouth?

  19. Re:Out of genuine curiosity... on Shutting down Kazaa · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's called protest by lawlessness. The best example I've heard is the speed limit, if they changed the speed limit on highways to 20 MPH, and no one followed it and kept doing 60, they CANNOT fine everyone, and therefor the law would be changed eventually.

  20. Will render? on Tom's Hardware Reviews First Player for DivX Video · · Score: 1

    "Very cool, although it will render my stacks of VCDs obsolete."

    Um, haven't those been obsolete for a few years now? /me sees his 3DO and PSX add-ons to play them

    Nevermind...

  21. Re:Violence in video games on America's Army on Linux · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Oh it's like the last few generations comic books, cowboys and indians, etc. There's NOTHING different except for the medium.

  22. Re:Aren't movie theaters currently fined on PC Baangs In America · · Score: 1

    There is no law saying minors may not watch R rated movies, so no, they're not fined.

  23. Re:Dropping CRTs may make sense (kinda) on Sony to Stop Producing Smaller CRTs · · Score: 1

    Wow, for oil tycoons they're flirking stupid then. I have a 35 foot 'monitor' and it only cost me a few hundred bucks, much less than several LCDs. Projectors and sheets = god

  24. Adults Only on Congress To Consider Age Limits On Violent Games · · Score: 1

    A rating that allows only adults to buy a video game is already in place, and there's only a little under 20 titles in the category. If 'experts' thought a video game wasn't meant to be viewed by minors I'm sure they'd pop it in there. But then again, I don't think any game makes Joe and Jane Doe violent. I go to at least 1 lan party every month, and after 10-12 hours of shooting, stabing, and blowing each other up in Global Ops the 15-25 of us could hardly be considered violent. A little wacky at times, but not violent.

  25. Re:Remember on Has the RIAA Wormed 95% of P2P Networks? · · Score: 2

    We're speaking of the RIAA. The last letter of that accronym, in case you didn't know, means America. It's quite fair to assume that's what we're talking about.
