  1. How-To needed on How to Get Music Off Your iPod · · Score: 5, Funny

    What we really need is a how-to instructing geek nation how to get their iPod back after some scumbag stole it!

  2. For the lay person: on X-Box Private Key Challenge Ended · · Score: 1, Funny

    Microsoft, again, crushes anything it wants.

  3. I've got the right to cry if I want to! on Copyright and Copy Rights · · Score: 1

    You would cry too if it happened to you!! *dah dah dah dah*

    Seems like everyone's got something copyrighted, it's their "right", as the article so eloquently points out. It's almost as if you don't have something copyrighted you aren't in. I wonder if that's copyrighted ... hmmm....

  4. Who's to say what's crap and what's not? on Interview with Brewster Kahle · · Score: 1

    Something you may think is crap may not be crap to someone else... I'm sure someone out there is interested in the millions of Britney Spears or *NStank picture galleries.

  5. He hopes his patent will help him ... on Searching for Life's Blueprints · · Score: 2, Funny

    He hopes his patent will help him launch his company and make it a key player in this field. ... and take over the world!

    Sounds pretty interesting, I just hope there isn't something deeper seeded in this guy, like wanting to take over the world... *plays pinky and the brain music*

  6. Can they really put that much porn onto one DVD? on Backup Your Life on a DVD · · Score: 1

    Well, can they?

  7. Multi-platform support is indeed cool on gridMathematica Announced · · Score: 1

    Now I can get my SGI, Sun, and other UNIX boxes in my house to do top secret nuclear computations!!

    Seriously though, alone those machines can only do so much ...

  8. Since when did creating life become so simple? on Scientists Attempting to Create Simple Life Form · · Score: 1

    Really, creating life can't be *that* simple.

    It will be interesting to see what sort of things religious enthusiasts will say about this. I mean, this would go against the idea of life created by "god", "allah", "buddah", etc., wouldn't it?! It may even disprove ... well, I'll stop there.

  9. Upstream latency on Another Stab At Internet Access By Satellite · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I work with a guy that has satellite 'net access and the only issue he's had with it is the upstream latency, which is why they do not suggest it for real-time gaming. Other than that he's pleased with it, but I've never actually sat in front of his machine.

    As for my own personal satellite experience, I worked with a business that used satellite internet access and it was horribly slow. The only thing I could figure out was that the provider sucked and it's not a usual satellite internet issue seeing as how my friend and others are happy with it.

  10. As cool as this sounds... on Sun To Sell Linux PCs · · Score: 1

    Look at what has happened to SGI since it began selling machines branded with Linux. Can you say "I want my stock to be worth $1?" SGI's current stock price

    I hope Sun doesn't treat Linux as a buzzword; if they do they very well may end up like SGI.

  11. USB sync causes problems on Zaurus Sync Software (Finally) Available for Linux · · Score: 1, Informative

    If you're going to sync with Linux I'd suggest doing it via wireless. I've used every possible USB kernel setup suggested and my Z still won't sync via USB. I can ping, ftp to transfer files, etc. via USB but the syncing software makes my Z hang. I'd go wireless if USB gives your Z issues.

  12. What about the speed of light slowing down... on Your Skin Is Your Password · · Score: 0

    I hope they have taken into account the fact that the speed of light is slowing down. Maybe if you fly through space you can't be identified anymore!!

  13. How will they know who is watching? on Nielsen to measure TiVo usage · · Score: 1

    I don't have a TiVo but how would Nielson know that my grandmother is watching versus me?

  14. I once wanted to challenge the DMCA... on Interview with DMCA-challenger · · Score: -1, Troll

    I decided that I'd rather spend my time at home watching Star Trek re-runs than spend my time in a cold lonely jail cell.

  15. ALL HAIL THE FELLOW /.'ER on Digital SFX Wizard Answers Slashdot Questions · · Score: -1, Troll

    PAY HOMAGE!

  16. When you'll be able to play this on the 'net? on Virtual Sword Fighting · · Score: 1

    Just imagine everyone having one of these bad boys at home! :-D Then they'd profit when users had to buy new swords.

  17. Does this mean I"ll be able to d/l hi-res pr0n.. on DoD Dreams of Efficient Spectrum Usage · · Score: 0, Troll

    Does this mean I'll be able to d/l hi-res pr0n onto my cellphone-pda-in-one device? Mmm, I can almost see it now. What about live sex-streams? That'd make cellphone companies big $$!

  18. Time for someone to cash in... on U.S. Developing 100-Kilowatt Laser for Strike Fighters · · Score: 1

    ... may be powerful enough to blind people on the ground, even if they are relatively far from the target.

    I can see the late night infomercials now: Don't get blinded by those laser weapons! For only five easy payments of a low $19.95 you too can watch these laser weapons without going blind!

  19. Re:Why should it matter? on Australian Federal Court Finds Mod Chips Not Illegal · · Score: 1

    Sony doesn't like the idea of people not paying for the stuff they actually make money off of: the games. Everyone knows that's where the money is in console gaming systems.

    What if someone installed the mod-chip so that they can play games released in other countries? Is bypassing regional encoding illegal? That's basically what everyone *snicker* uses their mod-chip for.

  20. I've got to get my 600 GB RAID up and running... on Western Digital Announces 200 Gig Drives · · Score: 1

    Now I can decompress all of that pr0n I have. WOO, fast access to pr0n.

  21. Now to find an easy way to implement a 'PIN' on Princeton Hacks Yale, Harvard Not Surprised · · Score: 1

    They are considering adding a PIN in the future.

    It's obvious that they should, but the question is now 'How?' I wonder how they can do this while, at the same time, keep load down at the school. Just imagine the number of people that apply to Yale. You'd have to hire someone full-time just to give out PIN numbers to people (considering you wanted to give out PINs at someone's request.) However, Yale could mail the applicant a PIN when their application is received. Maybe Yale could add another small fee to the cost of applying to outweigh such cost?

    Anyone else thought of any ideas that may work?

  22. What if NT7 hits another planet before 2019? on A Rock Moves In Space · · Score: 1

    Has anyone done calculations to see wether or not NT7 will be gone before 2019, e.g. it hits another planet? It comes very close to Venus sometime next year (or so shows the Java applet). Just a thought. It is possible it could hit another planet before 2019.

  23. I've seen this one before... on A Rock Moves In Space · · Score: 1

    Armageddon. The U.S. govt will hire a bunch of hicks to drill a hole into the asteroid, place a nuclear bomb, and leave one guy behind to detonate it! The rock will barely miss the Earth and we will all continue living our lives. I wish they'd come up with something new already.

  24. Re:Can't be true on WebTV/MSNTV Virus Dials 911 · · Score: 2, Funny

    You must be confused. Palladium is going to fix this. They've only focused long enough to figure that out.

  25. As free as the nVidia graphics card Linux modules? on NVIDIA Cg Compiler Technology to be Open Source · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Will only a 'portion' of this compiler be free? Some of you may or may not know that their Linux modules require a proprietary 'binary stub'. Thus the difficulty in porting any of their stuff to other UNIXs such as FreeBSD.

    Hopefully that won't be the case with this.
