  1. Re:Where's the "corruption" tag? on AT&T: Meet the New US GSM Monopoly · · Score: 3, Funny

    let's just throw the bill gates/borg icon on it too.

  2. hrmmph.. on Yet Another "People Plug In Strange USB Sticks" Story · · Score: 2

    >> The problem isn't that people are idiots... The problem is that the OS trusts random USB sticks." Couldn't it still be a little of both?

  3. Eureka! on Does Syfy Really Love Sci-Fi? · · Score: 1

    While i'm probably not qualified to comment as I don't have cable... I discovered Eureka on Netflix and must say it's a fun show. Kind of like Star Trek meets CSI if you will. It's definitely not hardcore science fiction, but it's a start.

  4. wait wait wait... on News Corp's The Daily Is Doomed · · Score: 1

    wait, you mean a limited digital magazine can't compete with the entire internet? This is the kind of news I come to slashdot for.

  5. FTA on The iPad Will Get Playboy In March · · Score: 1

    looks like it's time to buy an ipad... for the articles...

  6. this has been done, but freer. on Apple In Talks To Bring $0.99 TV Rentals To iTunes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm sure i'm the 100th person to say this, but with services like Hulu (for new episodes) and Netflix Streaming (for back seasons) this seems silly. I cut my cable off 2 years ago and still manage to watch any tv program I want. If it's streaming next day, I watch it there, the commercials don't bug me. If the network is too stubborn to stream it with commercials and risk a little revenue loss, I pirate it. It's all about ease for me. The networks need to wise up quick. I'd gladly pay discovery channel direct for on demand streaming access to there most recent shows, but I don't want to buy it as part of a package full of 100 channels i'm not interested in, and I don't want to have to bend my schedule around when they think the programs should air, and I know i'm not alone on this.

  7. sid meyer should get sued first on NCsoft Sued For Making Lineage II 'Too Addictive' · · Score: 1

    The settlement should involve setting up programs like this. http://ve3d.ign.com/videos/70914/PC/Sid-Meiers-Civilization-V/Trailer/Civ-Anonymous-Trailer One more round...

  8. Re:Honestly... on Major Flaws Found In Recent BitTorrent Study · · Score: 1

    Just a few of the private big trackers account for hundreds of times more data transfer than your hippy rock fest recordings.

  9. Re:Missed Opportunity? on NASA's Plutonium Supply Dwindling; ESA To Help · · Score: 2, Interesting

    All that could be true enough, I'm no expert. However, looking at it from outside I see that there is a demand for the product. Until we find another viable method of powering these missions there will be a continuing demand. Wouldn't it make sense to produce it in country under our regulations rather than importing it? Would importing it be any cheaper/safer?

  10. Missed Opportunity? on NASA's Plutonium Supply Dwindling; ESA To Help · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Seems like the US is passing on, or simply overlooking an opportunity to create a new small industry, making what is sure to be a product with increasing demand.

  11. Re:silly on Gamers Pay To Play With Girls · · Score: 1

    What a dumb question. Read my post again, throw away your keyboard (to prevent this from happening again), and go play Plants vs Zombies (no need for a keyboard!)

  12. Alternate uses for the disk on Can Ubuntu Save Online Banking? · · Score: 1

    Wait til it's figured out by the masses that you can use these disks to view porn with out the wife being able to spot it in the history. Banking has never been so exciting!

  13. silly on Gamers Pay To Play With Girls · · Score: 1

    This is silly, all girls will game if given the proper introduction. Find yourself a girl irl and find a game you can play together, work up to the games you want to play, though there is no promise she'll like it I suppose. I'm currently trying to see if I can get my girlfriend hooked on RTS games in-time for Starcraft II, she's hooked on Plants vs. Zombies, now I just need to find a good game to transition with.

  14. Re:ASCII? on Russian ASCII Art Animated Cat From 1968 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Is that what lil' john is singing about?

  15. It's not what mine is named... on Auto-Scanning the Names People Choose For Their Wireless APs · · Score: 1

    I enjoy changing my neighbors unsecured default passworded ap's ssid to something sure to catch their attention, and encourage them to secure their wireless.

  16. Interesting on In Israel, Potential Organ Donors Could Jump the Queue · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It's always a tough call when you're talking about life and death and major elective surgeries. But I find myself thinking this is a good thing, that makes sense?

  17. Re:Hardly a Significant Test on 6 Smartphone Keyboards Compared · · Score: 1

    I can't believe the author didn't feel the need to disclose his day to day phone. As a long time Blackberry owner I'm sure my results would be just as skewed towards the Bold 9700. However, I've seen an iPhone user on a Blackberry and can't say they quite got it first try.

  18. Re:Anybody here? on Insomniacs, the Phantoms of the Internet · · Score: 5, Funny

    I find it funny this story popped up around 2am est as well. Now back to facebook...

  19. Re:Why? on Correcting Poor Typing Technique? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They also don't mention whether or not they have to look down to find keys? 90-110 using only a few fingers sounds fast. At least to me, as a touch typer who hovers around 85wmp.

  20. Re:The Age of Independant on The Future of Student Films · · Score: 1

    Dont forget the most important part. A Gullible nation.

  21. Whats more amazing? on SCO.com Defaced · · Score: 1, Funny

    Whats more amazing? The fact that it is still defaced, or the fact that we have not successfully /.ed the webpage yet?

  22. Re:Rewrites necessary on What Differentiates Linux from Windows? · · Score: 1

    Very Little of The windows 3.1 Kernel is found in 2003 at all. The differences between 3.1/95/98/me and nt/2000/xp/2003 are massive under the hood.

  23. Re:Why Pay? on Opera Browser Creators Planning IPO · · Score: 1

    I'm sure you didnt put the latest version of all your software on that 133. Why then should you expect to be able to put the latest version of mozilla? Sure the latest version of opera may work fine but none the less if you tried to put on a new version of mozilla whos to blame?

  24. Re:because Mozilla 1.6 is bloated on Opera Browser Creators Planning IPO · · Score: 1

    With the specs of your computer I dont think mozilla is really to blame. They produce a powerful package that needs more then you have to offer.

  25. Re:Why Pay? on Opera Browser Creators Planning IPO · · Score: 1

    True, But im am happy to live with a program that might not be up to par with a pay program just so I dont have to support the company that makes it. Its not about the money its about principles.
