  2. Re:Obligatory SNL Quote on They Killed Ken! · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Alex: "this is the sound a dog makes..."
    Sean: "moo"
    Alex: "no"
    Sean: "well, that's the sound your mother made last night!"

  3. Re:colors on Slashdot Goes Political: Announcing politics.slashdot.org · · Score: 1

    Well, I must agree, that would be quite fitting for the topic.

  4. Re:World + dog on Ask RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser · · Score: 1

    It makes you sad? How do you think the dog feels? I mean, he's just "+ dog" ... I'd be pretty pissed.

  5. Apple Support on Ask RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Since RealNetworks is all for "compatibility" and getting their stuff to play on the iPod, when do they plan to offer support for Macintosh users in the Rhapsody music store?

  6. Re:Flag... on Slashdot Goes Political: Announcing politics.slashdot.org · · Score: 1

    What about them...? ;)

    Not sure though. My guess be that this may be some sort of "temporary" category before the US elections... not sure though.

  7. Re:colors on Slashdot Goes Political: Announcing politics.slashdot.org · · Score: 1

    Well the actual color of the games section is ok by me, it's just a little dark (especially the logo). The IT section, however, makes my eyes want to bleed.

  8. colors on Slashdot Goes Political: Announcing politics.slashdot.org · · Score: 4, Insightful

    At least they did a better job with the colors/logo than the nasty IT section... ;)

  9. Re:timing? on Microsoft to Launch Online Music Store · · Score: 1

    They can can sell at a huge loss

    You mean like the XBox?

  10. new icon! on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 5, Funny

    So how long until we get a new slashdot icon that looks like this model?

  11. Re:very likely that it's likely? on Apple iPod with Video and WiFi Capabilities? · · Score: 4, Funny

    And I think it's very likely that anyone what reads your post will be MORE confused... :p

  12. salary? on Apple iPod with Video and WiFi Capabilities? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Lifetime supply of iPods!

  13. What the fuck is the Internet? on The Internet At 35 · · Score: -1, Redundant

    "The internet is a communications tool used the world over where people can come together to bitch about movies and share pornography with one another."

    Thank you, I'll be here all week.

  14. editors? on The Internet At 35 · · Score: 5, Funny

    So which is it? 25? or 35? Come on... :p

  15. Re:Gmail Notifier is NOT complete on Gmail Cracks Down on Third-Party Notifiers · · Score: 1

    I know I can do that. But I choose not to. I'm not complaining, I still actually use the notifier on two computers. But the ability to alert of new mail in labels is just something I'd like to see.

  16. Re:Gmail Notifier is NOT complete on Gmail Cracks Down on Third-Party Notifiers · · Score: 3, Informative

    I'm sure he meant labels, but he's right. It doesn't tell when there's new mail in the labels, just the inbox. I submitted feedback about that to them. I suggest others do the same thing if it's something you'd like to see.

  17. Re:here is the BT file on Halo 2 Direct-feed Multiplayer Video Released · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Cruising at 350+kb/s now. Uploading at about 10kb/s I think. Cable modem upload sucks of course, but I'll leave it on for a while.

  18. Re:A chilling effect on sales? on RIAA Sues More Music Lovers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'd love to be in the room when the "brains" behind the RIAA finally say "screw it - we lost."

    Somehow, I don't think that will be any time soon...

  19. what is the RIAA again? on RIAA Sues More Music Lovers · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    The RIAA, a trade group representing the U.S. music industry
    I know they're a US organization and all, and slashdot is obviously global, but really, are there THAT many people who don't know who/what the RIAA is?
  20. Who else? on In-Game Advertising Breaks Out · · Score: 5, Funny
    I can see it now:
    • Healthpacks - sponsored by Johnson & Johnson
    • Ammo Reloads - sponsored by Remmington
    • etc
  21. Re:Conversion on Tempratech Self-Cooling Can · · Score: 1

    I don't know. For beverages, I think in units of 12 oz cans (and even some 8 oz cans now), 16 oz bottles, 20 oz bottles, 24 oz bottles... and then it moves into 1 liter, 2 liter, 3 liter, etc.

    For all other similar measurements, I may think in quarts, gallons, etc. But for most beverages/soft drinks (exceptions of milk/oj/etc) I think in ounces.

  22. Re:Conversion on Tempratech Self-Cooling Can · · Score: 1

    Touché, salesman...

  23. Conversion on Tempratech Self-Cooling Can · · Score: 5, Informative

    For those of us in the US:

    Google has the conversion.

    500 ml = 16.9070113 US fluid ounces

  24. Re:Let me guess on Composite Of Earth At Night · · Score: 1

    Ya, god (or whoever) forbid that I make a wallpaper out of the part of the world that I live in.

    I will have my revenge in meta-moderating!

  25. Re:again? on Composite Of Earth At Night · · Score: 1

    Because I wanted to trim it to my destkop resolution at full quality and NA was all that would fit... and well, I live there... is that ok?
