  1. If this was a football game... on Electronic Arts Facing Possible Class Action Lawsuit · · Score: 5, Funny

    John Madden says, "You just hate to see that!"

  2. Bad luck. on Apple Confirms G5 Based iMac to Ship in September · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No matter what they do Apple can't seem to get a supplier who meets their needs. This Reminds me of the G4 roll out. They had hoped for so much but had to back-pedal due to motorola.

  3. Corporate only? on AOL To Charge for AIM Videoconferences · · Score: 1

    From reading the article it doesn't seem to mention anything about charging consumers for this service. Unless I am missing something obly corporate customers who want to pay for a special web based meeting room will pay for the service per minute. Please correct me if I'm wrong...after reading TFA.

  4. Re:So which is it. on Pizza From the Command Line · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yea, I'm pretty sure it actually orders pizza ..yaknow, without the "i"

  5. Re:What's UT Watch? on FBI Investigates Open Records Request · · Score: 1

    Actually, from the context of the article it sounds like a UT activist group. Probably a very liberal group that is outspoken about government corruption or some such thing.

  6. got me outside on Task Force Finds Blackout Was Preventable · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The blackout was one of the best excuses to get away from my computer for a few days. A bunch of us gathered outdoors, barbequed, and played beerpong by car light. Sometimes I think this is exactly what we need to get us back into the "real world".

  7. introducing the new.... on Intel Plans CPU Naming Change · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wicked Fast 7 million chip!

  8. Re:Seen this on AT&T Wireless Phone "Upgrades" Aren't · · Score: 4, Insightful
    and I can surf the web with my laptop while I'm driving

    So you're the guy who almost hit me today!

  9. 1 in 20?? on Spyware on One in Twenty Computers? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    At my schools help desk we always run adaware on finished machines. I have yet to see one without spyware. Our office record was just bumped up to 8084 pieces of spyware. 1 in 20 does not do justice to the growing problem of this malicious software.

  10. Re:oblig. on Professor iPod Discusses Device's Social Impact · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    er, make that soviet russia

  11. oblig. on Professor iPod Discusses Device's Social Impact · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    In communist Russia the iPod doctors you.

  12. sure. on No Harm, No Foul in Heavy Net Use · · Score: 5, Funny

    tell that to my girlfriend!

  13. Re:Clever, but...did you RTFA? on Ultimate Automotive Computer Installation · · Score: 1

    He specifically mentions instances where he changed his plans to make paying attention to the road easier. One part in particular stood out... he used the griffin powermate instead of touch recognition because he doesn't think it was safe to take his eyes off the road.

  14. Edit on main page on SCO Group Web Site Attacked Again · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Can we get an edit for the groklaw link on the mainpage? Anyone who just skims the headlines is going to get a very skewed impression of todays events.

  15. cookies... on Human Pac Man · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Will these cookies have information on previously attended mental clinics and other such human video games? Should I clear my cache first?

  16. illogical on Could Google Be SCO's Next Big Target? · · Score: 1

    How can they sue for something that isn't even known to be illegal yet? Why would google pay a fee when a court hasn't even decided whether there is infringemnt or not?

  17. Re:I've think... on Philip K. Dick's Hollywood Afterlife · · Score: 1, Informative

    I'm pretty sure that is what Blade runner was based on.

  18. Re:Unworthy of Slashdot on iTunes for Windows Breaking Older iPods · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up....Some things should stick to www.macnn.com. The poster would receive less flaming and more help there anyway.

  19. Re:DRM on Microsoft Office Faces British Invasion · · Score: 1
    Uh ? I'm confused .. so DRM would allow Microsoft to restrict the document types that go with their tools ? Like there would be a restriction on the brand of fuel you can put into a car ? Actually I would expect that a DRM scheme allows me, as a user, to control who is doing what to my documents.
    Right, but then you throw the dmca into the mix which makes it illegal to circumvent the drm in a .doc file and where does that leave openoffice etc?
  20. DRM on Microsoft Office Faces British Invasion · · Score: 2, Insightful

    A new alternative would be great, but what is going to happen when MS office starts including buit in DRM on its .doc files? Hopefully some of this new software will start to bring people away from proprietary systems like this.

  21. Re:trailer analisis... SPOILERS... on The Matrix: Revolutions Theatrical Trailer · · Score: 1
    4 - Neo is able to tune it's powers in both worlds , but for that it needs to cover up it's eyes to concentrate (i know that this might sound a little stupid, but it's just a movie .. and makes neo more grandious). It's know confirmed that it can really destroy sentinels with it's own thought.
    Why are his eyes bleeding though? I'm sure that all the scenes in the trailer are out of order from the real movie. I have a strange feeling Neo is blinded, or atleast badly hurt and needs to wear the blinfold. But just a thought.
  22. Re:Ummm...? on New Anti-Swap CDs Hit Shelves · · Score: 1

    But the point is that this will stop the "average" user from ripping tracks. No protection scheme is uncrackable, but now there is an extra hurdle.

  23. yea! on Is Your Boss An Idiot? · · Score: -1, Troll

    stupid Bill Gates....I mean... er...Gill Bates

  24. Re:But... on New G5 Power Macs "Fastest Desktop In The World" · · Score: 1

    Very true, I was just trying to point out that you COULD run alternative operating systems. Plus OpenBSD is just fun.

  25. Re:But... on New G5 Power Macs "Fastest Desktop In The World" · · Score: 1

    sure does... http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/ not to mention openbsd. :-D
