  1. Of course they're not on RIAA: We Won't Pursue Mandated DRM Technologies · · Score: 2

    Now that the big processor producers already have announced plans to add in DRM, they don't NEED to push it as mandatory. It'll fill in all by itself.

  2. Don't we already have something like this? on Judge Rules that Kazaa can be Sued · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's this little thing called Gnutella, works like a charm

  3. Jesus! on Star Wars Action Figures · · Score: 2

    That guys AIM is on there, poor dude...

  4. Re:In other news... on Using Bacterial DNA For Data Storage · · Score: 2

    That's a little harsh, we may be rare in the real world but we do exist.

  5. Different noises on Video Storage And Hard Drive Manufacturers · · Score: 2

    Hard drive noise is a quiet hum while most VCRs sound like rampant screeching, hard to compare them.

  6. In other news on Windows Security Holes Go Mostly Unexploited · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Thousands of people are in dark alleys every day and rarely are any shot, raped, mugged or sodomized.

  7. Root of all evil? on The Joystick Is The Root of All Evil · · Score: 2

    Bah humbug, the only thing having one causes is blindness and hairy palms... Oh wait..

  8. Re:Not surprised on U.S. Pushing Conservative Science · · Score: 2

    Then you have lazy, ignorant, and just plain stupid people voting just becuase they have to and circling a random name on the ballot.

  9. Year of Linux? on 2003: Year of Linux in Asia? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I feel so sorry for the newborns this year...
    "I'm was born in the year of the dragon!"
    "I was born in the year of the bull!"
    "... Iwas born during the year of the geeks..."

  10. Re:The Army on The Pentagon, MMORPGs, and Catching Osama · · Score: 1

    "America's Army" makes for a good recruiting tool,

    Look up Propaganda, I never said it was supposed to be a sim.

  11. The Army on The Pentagon, MMORPGs, and Catching Osama · · Score: 1

    Could make a MMPORPG about catching Osama, they've already got a propaganda FPS game...

  12. Ah linux betas... on New Red Hat Beta · · Score: 5, Funny

    The most unstable of the most stable of the stable desktop OSes... Wait I think I messed that up

  13. Wow on Freshmeat Launches Mac OS X Section · · Score: 1

    That took a while, I don't use OS X but I figured it would have been included on most major software sites by now.

  14. Re:the flamed.. on Dvorak: Linux too much like Windows · · Score: 1

    I've got 6 distros on disk right in front of me. 4 of them are one 1 disk each, the others are on 2 and 3. None of them install anything without YOU selecting it first. What were you saying?

  15. False advertising? on OptimumOnline Bans uploads to P2P networks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It sounds like they're blocking the ports these programs use for upstream...

    "We want you to stay online and stay protected while enjoying the best performance of Optimum Online high-speed Internet access"

    Now correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't "Internet access" pertain to full use of all ports? Wouldn't they have to be selling "Web, e-mail, and IRC" access or something to block ports?

  16. Re:Or I could try to find a job on Build Your Own Crusoe-Powered Computer · · Score: 1

    You seem to be addressing Transmeta with that last sentance... Remember, they're not the one that asked.

  17. typo on Company Christmas Gifts / Bonuses? · · Score: 1

    I should be happy just to have a job.

    Ooooh, that's just too easy...

  20. So... on Broadband's Unintended Consequences · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maybe they forgot to plug the modem in... My mom did when she first got broadband and said it was ungodly slow...

  21. Re:Ants and electronics on Ants Invade iBook · · Score: 2, Funny

    They are pretty precise.

    Precise? You know, when ants wedge themselves between active leds they tend to DIE, precision now scares me...

  22. RIAA leaked it? on Peercast Source Available · · Score: 5, Funny

    Phase 1: Get source.
    Phase 2: GPL it and have the servers Slashdotted.
    Phase 3: ?????
    Phase 4: Profit!

    Yea yea, this is COMEDY people. I'm not quite that paranoid... .>

    Unix was, Linux wasn't. There's a huge difference.
