  1. Three songs or only two? on Music Industry Set To Introduce the "Ringle" · · Score: 1

    Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. ...

  2. Re:Not all parlimentary systems are like that... on Swedish Filesharers Start 'The Piracy Party' · · Score: 1

    In Finland they let the wannabes drink a pint of Vodka and throw them in the sauna and keeps heating it up until only one man or woman is left concious. He gets to pick his mates for goverment. Finnish leaders need 'sisu' and this is how they weed out those who lack it.

  3. Re:Oh, the irony... on King Kong Lived? · · Score: 1
    Research into Gigantopithecus blackii began in 1935, when the Dutch paleontologist G.H. von Koenigswald discovered a yellowish molar among the "dragon bones" for sale in a Hong Kong pharmacy.

    w00t!!shift+1!
  4. Re:Maybe it used to be that way... on IRC as a World-Changing Medium · · Score: 1
    go to #perl and you overhear people speaking of their cute little cat

    No, no, you misunderstood. I wanted to run perl stuff on my CueCat, woot.
  5. Re:A more wretched hive of geeks and horde not fou on Blizzcon Writeup · · Score: 1
    (after all what other company does hybrid disks for both Macs and PCs, I ask you, now if only they supported Linux)


    SI Games put their Football Manager games on PC/Mac discs, *woohoo*
  6. Re:Buy the Game and Pay Again to Play It - NOT!!!! on Blizzcon Writeup · · Score: 1

    You get a month free with the game though, so you could say the game is only $35.
    Well, only or "only" depending on yer point if view I suppose.

  7. Re:Looks like some great ads on Sun's Bold New Ad Campaign · · Score: 1

    Indeed. I know I for one would go with the option that bitches 100% less rather than the one that bitches 100% more every time.

  8. Re:Flexibility? on Microsoft Lashes out at Massachusetts IT Decision · · Score: 1
    Now if only the Corrs could figure this out and start using their Web site more effectively...
    Translation: Now if only they'd fill their website with nude pictures of the lead singer
  9. That Google Suggest link on DHTML Utopia · · Score: 1

    If '404 not found' is graceful degradation I don't want to see ungraceful degradation.

  10. Re:Garbage on Windows Software Ugly, Boring & Uninspired · · Score: 1

    Sir,

    I too am in love with my Apple computer and would have its babies if only I were female.

    However, the Finder still makes me point and laugh or cry depending on whether I'm just watching someone else or if I'm the poor sod using it. It would not come anywhere near any list of plus points I or any of my kin would produce.

    That's not to say the Windows explorer is great. It sucks too. Oh for a Free (and even half as good) Total Commander clone for Linux and Mac OS X.

  11. Re:yeah on 7-Year Old Prequel Fan On ANH · · Score: 1

    I too thought it meant there might be lots of them, but instead of never more than two together at once, I took it to mean that if you find one there's always at least one other around. As in, they'd found and defeated one but they can't relax because at the very least his master or apprentice is still around somewhere near.

  12. Re:They can't go on like this, can they? on Mac OS X Tiger Goes Gold · · Score: 3, Funny

    When they release OS X Catbert you know it's time to start looking somewhere else.

  13. Re:Neither Napster nor iPod - just FREE GOOD MUSIC on Business Models: Napster to Go vs. iPod · · Score: 1

    It doesn't make him a musician but it is music.

  14. Re:Neither Napster nor iPod - just FREE GOOD MUSIC on Business Models: Napster to Go vs. iPod · · Score: 1

    Music is what comes out of the speakers, not what's done to produce what comes out of the speakers. I agree djing isn't the same thing as playing an instrument but saying it's not music seems silly.

  15. Re:Wow on Companies Claim iTMS, iPod Patent Infringement · · Score: 1
    Its not a good time to be an iPod owner.
    iPod owner does not equal iTunes customer.
  16. Re:The ringtone craze on Short History of Cellphone Ringtones · · Score: 1

    I observed a similar phenomenon when I put Suck And Fuck And Cook And Clean by the Mentors into my significant others phone instead of the song she asked for. Women, who understands them?

  17. Re:What I'm not surprised about on Is Your OS Tough Enough? · · Score: 2, Informative
    No propagating virus etc has been written for *nix. Yet.
    Then what is this about?

    The Morris Worm
  18. Re:I'm not sure if I agree... on Ready or Not, Here comes Windows XP SP2 · · Score: 1

    I have the same problem on my laptop (HP Omnibook). 8-9 times a day, seemingly random bluescreens. It was unsusable and I ended up rolling back as well. No problems before or after, I guess I'll soon be an unsupported user! Oh well, it has SuSE on it as well.

  19. Re:How'd he do it? on Grand Theft Auto Led Teen to Kill · · Score: 1

    If he'd really been trained by GTA, he would have gotten the police uniform while he was at the station and gotten away. He didn't, so he wasn't. Case closed, ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury.

  20. Re:The IDE Issue... on Java Application Development on Linux · · Score: 1

    I run 3.1 on my 1.4ghz (XP) laptop with 512mb ram and as long as there's not too many other resource hogs running the performance is perfectly fine.

  21. Re:The IDE Issue... on Java Application Development on Linux · · Score: 1
    Honestly, I tried eclipse. But not for anything too serious because it wanted to move all of my source files to make a project... That's irritating, to say the least.
    It is irritating, so it's good that you don't have to let it move anything and can set up your projects however you like.

    I've never even seen it suggest that it should or would move any files when making a new project so I don't know how you accomplished that to be honest.
  22. Re:My thoughts by John Madden. on ESPN And Electronic Arts Sign 15-Year Deal · · Score: 1

    Julian Dicks never played in the olympics. The quote is real but it wasn't said in that context, someone made that list up methinks.

  23. Re:This could be good news for hockey! on EA Obtains Exclusive NFL Licensing Rights · · Score: 1

    It would be better than now. NHL 2005 is going to rock, spend the whole season in the boardroom trying to negotiate a deal with the player association. EA are going to have to come up with a new game engine this year, methinks.

  24. Re:Too slow. on Failed Win XP Upgrade Wipes Out UK Government Agency · · Score: 1
    Now imagine that had been, say, a Linux deployment... Who could EDS have called then?
    They could have called Slashdot and gotten help from a thousand people for the low low price of getting ridiculed by geeks with superiority complex for the duration of the project. *yes*
  25. Re:How come.. on Music Downloading not Entirely to Blame · · Score: 1

    While I agree with your point that quantity does not equal quality, I think there are far more people who know the words to 90% of The Beatles' songs than who know 90% of Our Lady Peaces songs ;9
