  1. Re:no surprise... on Morse Coders Beat SMSers · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that the Morse coders were professionals and the SMSers were teens.

  2. Re:For St Peter's sake on U.S. Rejects Canadian Rejection of DMCA · · Score: 1

    Canadian Firm != Canada

    One Canadian Firm != Canadians

    As a side note, I'd like to point out that the first link from the search page you linked to is about a Richmond, VA company suing the Canadian Government over a fuel additive that was banned.

  3. Re:Law Enforcement Ahoy.... on Best Buy Has Man Arrested for Using $2 Bills · · Score: 1

    Coins, however, also last much longer than a bill and are harder to counterfit.

  4. Re:Legal vs. moral on Anti-DMCA Petition in Canadian Parliament · · Score: 1

    They changed the levy charges, mainly on hard drive players, which is why the Ipod lowered in price. The levy on CDs has not changed, however.

  5. Re:Hey! Me too! on Audio Compression Primer · · Score: 1

    The one advantage to having them on your computer already in lossless format is that you can encode multiple CDs faster than you would be able to sitting there and putting each CD in one after another.

  6. Re:Navigate with keyboard? on More Microsoft Patents · · Score: 1

    I was kind of surprised myself.

  7. Re:Navigate with keyboard? on More Microsoft Patents · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The general order of operations:

    1) voice opinion
    2) read article (optional)

  8. Offtopic, I know on Logitech Gives A Mouse A Laser · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Anyone want this? Gmail invite

  9. Re:this is awesome on Google Releases Gmail Notifier · · Score: 1

    Did you get an email invite from him? If not, I have one too that I've been trying to get rid of.

  10. Re:Anything left to kick around? on SCO's Motion to dismiss Red Hat's Complaint Denied · · Score: 2, Funny

    Ever tried kicking a bowlingball?

  11. Re:1/2 post, less than 1% quality on Nearly Half of U.S. 'Net Users Post Content · · Score: 1

    I have an LJ account, and I actually really don't mind being on it. Most of the content there is still dribble though.

  12. Re:1/2 post, less than 1% quality on Nearly Half of U.S. 'Net Users Post Content · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Try taking Livejournal as the cross section though. That's when the useful content plummets to almost nil.

  13. World's first? on Yamaha Releases Singing Synthesis Software · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Shpongle (trance group) used Vocal Writer in their CD that was released in 1998.

  14. Re:So? on Microsoft Retires Windows 98 · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I got Win2k to run for months, and no, it wasn't just idling.

    Win98, on the other hand, I've never had success in keeping relatively stable.

  15. Reminds me... on Synthesized Singers · · Score: 1

    ...of that anime I saw a long time ago. Macross Plus, I think. The universe's greatest singer was a computer, and people came from far and wide to attend these huge concerts to see it sing. It also produced a hologram of some made-up woman to go along with it.

  16. Doomsday book? on 600 New Species of Fish Discovered · · Score: 1
    I'm not sure, but don't they mean the Domesday Book? The book of the record of English settlements?

    The book linked to in the article is some novel about a guy travelling back through time. I fail to see what this has to do with fish.

  17. Well, it's not ALL bad on Vancouver Bars Network Together to Track Patrons · · Score: 1
    The whole reasoning behind doing this is quite understandable. There has been several fatal gang shootings in bars in Vancouver recently. This is one way to keep them from killing innocent bystanders.

    Besides, if you don't like it, you could always just go next door to Burnaby or something. It's not like they're far apart.

  18. Hmm... on Group Asks Gov't to Crack Down on Product Placement · · Score: 1

    Josie and the Pussycats (the movie) comes to mind.

  19. Of worldwide P2P users? on Few Takers For RIAA's "Clean Slate" · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Why the hell would anyone outside of the US even consider giving themselves in to the RIAA?

    Anyone who did do that would be pretty stupid and should probably deserve to be charged.

  20. Re:Their Network on Yahoo Messenger Blocks Outside IM Clients · · Score: 1
    People will come, but only the usual open source Slashdot lurkers. Most people use the other networks because those companies have the money to spend to spend on advertising.

    Then again, it wouldn't be ALL bad. No more AOLers anyways.

  21. A Summary? on IBM Adds SCO Counterclaim Charging Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know of a timeline summary of all the lawsuits going on regarding SCO? There's so many lawsuits that I'm getting confused, and I don't really want to search through thousands of archived Slashdot stories.

  22. Re:It's not entirely population density on Worldwide State of Broadband - S Korea, Japan Lead · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Not to mention that even remote towns of under 10,000 people in northern BC have broadband access.

  23. Re:Heavy Handed? on Australia To Fast-Track Anti-Spam Bill · · Score: 4, Insightful
    What else, apart from sending spam or selling the list to someone else who'll send spam, would such a list be used for?

    Funny how slashdotters then go to say that P2P software shouldn't be banned because it has legitimate uses, when we all know that almost everyone uses it to pirate music.

    Not flamebaiting, just being cynical.

  24. Re:Don't be afraid on How Much Does A Cloud Weigh? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    No THAT's funny. :P

  25. Re:Good - another reason for people to dump MS on Symantec Adds Product Activation · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Um... this article is about Symantec, not Microsoft. Not to mention the only people who will be affected by a rise in the cost base are the people who relied on a pirated version of it.
