  1. Oblig. on Toshiba Boosts Hard Drive Density By 50% · · Score: 1

    Sure, you could say that now. But just remember, one Bluray disc will be able to hold that amount of data in a few years. Personally, I think it would be sweet to be able to have all three extended editions of Lord of the Rings in HD and 7.1 audio tracks on one device.

  2. Re:Big deal! on Spider-Like Catamaran Travels 5,000 Miles On One Tank · · Score: 1

    Actually, I think that the tank of diesel would make your boat less energy efficient.... Maybe we should try to focus on energy efficiency, rather than just fuel efficiency. Granted, if we can get both, that would be maahvelous

  3. echo on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    at a morbidly obese 15288 bytes, what more could anyone need?

  4. Oh Really? on AMD To Open ATI Specs · · Score: 2, Funny

    To release documentation that anyone can use to build and support drivers for their chips.

    Hacking the Radeon driver: So easy, even a Caveman can do it!

  5. Re:What GNU/Linux gaming area? on AMD To Open ATI Specs · · Score: 1

    Why the hell would you want to reboot your computer just to play a game? That means your torrents go down, your network shares go down, you can't multitask email/irc with gaming, all the terminals you had open get closed and you lose your place.

    So how [Cancel or Allow] is this diffe[Cancel or Allow]rent from Vista?

  6. Immediately after Bush was informed... on Air Force Mistakenly Transports Live Nukes Across America · · Score: 1, Funny

    ...he continued to read a story to a classroom of young children.

  7. What's the big deal? on Chinese Military Hacked Into Pentagon · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How many Americans are in prison for cracking in to the pentagon? The only difference here is that rather than a group of crackers with no political affiliation, this group of crackers is part of a foreign military. Who honestly believes that the US (ala CIA and NSA) isn't doing the same to some other country (e.g. Russia, North Korea, China) right now?

  8. Re: User Base on Hewlett-Packard Brings Linux To Select Desktops · · Score: 1

    Sure, many Linux users are power users, but you've got to start somewhere. And the money isn't with the power users, as that pool is too small. It seems to me that starting with the low-end is a good idea. More people go from low-end systems to high-end than starting with high-end and then moving to low-end systems.

  9. Re:Who cares? on A Preview of Opera 9.5 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How are they greedy if they don't charge for their desktop browser, especially if that's the only browser of theirs that you use? If somebody is trying to integrate their program in with their system and make a profit off of it (e.g. Wii), then it makes sense to me that Opera should get a small profit. They don't have to, but I seriously question how doing so is Evil(TM)

  10. Misread on New Google Apps For Linux Coming · · Score: 1
    Damn, the mis-read was soo much better:

    Will it be PORN powered?
  11. How much money did this program save? on Microsoft Forces Shutdown of Autopatcher · · Score: 1

    I mean, neither Microsoft nor any large companies have "unlimited" internet usage. Once you scale your infrastructure up large enough, you have to pay for all of the data transferred in and out. So how much money could this program save not only Microsoft (which has enough money as it is), but all of the companies that used this? Or are there "official" ways of storing updates on your own computers to distribute amongst others on your network?

  12. Doom 3, anyone? on Videogames Make Better Horror Than Movies? · · Score: 1

    Even with my crapp-assed Radeon X300SE, as long as the lights were off and the speakers cranked, that game nearly scared the shit out of me at times.

  13. What was one of Apple's old ad campaigns? on Can Apple + AT&T Shut Down iPhone Unlockers? · · Score: 1

    "Think Different," wasn't it?

  14. Re:The TMNT game for NES on Game Essentials - 20 Difficult Games · · Score: 1

    There was a trick to solving TMNT. First off, you can swap turtles anytime. If your turtle is hurt, swap him. Also, health pizza powerups near the entrances of buildings and sewers respawn as soon as you enter the room. Go in and out of the door and that one piece of pizza can heal all your turtles to full health.

    No shit, how do you think he got as far as he did?

  15. Ask him what "Fair Use" means to him... on How To Address A Visit from MPAA Senior VP Rich Taylor? · · Score: 1

    And do it in a non-obvious way. Like complaining about how the auto industry is deliberately designing vehicles so they can't be serviced on your own any more.

  16. Oh my god, it's the Red Scare! on Lenovo Looking to Buy Seagate, May Raise Political Concerns · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Quick! Where's McCarthy when we need him?

    Honestly, they're raising the same fuss as when IBM sold off their PC and laptop divisions to Lenovo. There's no reason why we should be paranoid about stuff this. It's business.

  17. He wasn't placed! on U.S. Attorney General Resigns · · Score: 1

    He had the option to not accept the job. You always do.

  18. Re:Now will the opposing party actually push back? on U.S. Attorney General Resigns · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What Republicans aren't in favor of is a purely political witch hunt.

    Bull-fucking-shit. Care to try to explain the Clinton impeachment process then?

  19. Did anyone else read... on Legal Music Streaming Site Launches In France · · Score: 1

    ESCAM instead of SACEM?

  20. Re:Youtube is definately the best medium.... on Content-Aware Image Resizing · · Score: 1

    *whoosh*

  21. Solution? Simple! on New York Taxi Drivers To Strike Over GPS · · Score: 1

    Have the GPS on when the meter is on, and turn off GPS tracking when the meter is off! How hard can this possibly be? All it needs is to kill the power to the GPS unit when the meter is off and then they are free to do what they want where they want. On a side-note: Why do any /. users care? Have they come out of the basement yet?

  22. Youtube is definately the best medium.... on Content-Aware Image Resizing · · Score: 1

    because Youtube has outstanding video quality. I mean, Youtube does to video what the Playstation does to audio.

  23. Re:And next week... on Sony to Add TV Tuner, DVR to PS3 · · Score: 1

    I thought the first wave of 360's already did this?

  24. Re:Warranty? on Seagate to Offer Solid State Drives in 2008 · · Score: 1

    Couldn't this be worked around by using RAM instead of the hard drive? I mean, if manufacturers are practically being required to have 2GB of memory installed, I don't see too much need for frequent re-writes....

  25. Re:Open source cablecard device? on New HD TiVo and Cable Incompatibilities · · Score: 1

    If you can't watch DVD's in the US while running Linux because of the DMCA, there's not a chance in hell that this would fly.
