  1. Re:Funny, but badly researched... on A Brief History of the Internet · · Score: 1
    Show me one person who has a usefull use for spreadsheets ...

    Obviously you've never done accounting.

  2. Re:Homestar Runner on A Brief History of the Internet · · Score: 0
    Troll? Offtopic, sure, but troll?

    I can see someone here really doesn't like Homestar Runner.

  3. I can't wait.... on 'Pacemaker'-like GPS Device for Humans · · Score: 1

    ...until they start injecting this into people to "reduce terrorism".

  4. Re:Jon Carmack: dooming society? on Doom III Trailer Debuts At E3 · · Score: 1

    Same time that Microsoft made OpenGL.

  5. Not the RIAA, but similar situation on RIAA Apologizes for Incorrect Infringement Notice · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Kind of reminds me when I was in high school. I had an mp3 of "Hack the Planet" (from H2K) on my network drive, and the school deleted it, locked my network drive, and called me to the office for having "illegal mp3's". I never got an apology though...

  6. Re:Lowest REAL SAT score? on Lowest Raw Score Ever on the SAT · · Score: 1

    Haven't read the parent post, have you?

  7. Re:Lowest REAL SAT score? on Lowest Raw Score Ever on the SAT · · Score: 1

    I guess if the person can't speak English, then s/he would be hooped.

  8. Re:Canada's significantly less spread out on America's Broadband Dream Is Alive-- In Korea · · Score: 1

    In British Columbia, DSL service is available in almost ever city with more than a couple thousand people, including places like Quesnel, which is more or less in the middle of nowhere.

  9. Re:Much Easier in Korea on America's Broadband Dream Is Alive-- In Korea · · Score: 5, Interesting

    But look at Canada. Canada is even more spread out that the US and it has far better broadband access (than the US, not Korea).

  10. Correct me if I'm wrong, on Search for the Missing Universe · · Score: 1

    but couldn't black holes, neutron stars, and whatnot account for some of this missing matter?

  11. Re:So thats where my dryer sends my clothes on Search for the Missing Universe · · Score: 1

    I thought the dryer went to Narnia.

    8 times 6 is 48

  13. First to land outside the US? on ISS Crew Returns in Soyuz Capsule · · Score: 4, Informative
    From the article:

    The astronauts were not the first Americans to land on foreign soil after a trip in space because U.S. tycoon Dennis Tito beat them to that distinction.

  14. Re:Laws are a disease on The MPAA's Lobbying-Fu is Stronger Than Yours · · Score: 2, Informative
    Just like European steel is subsidized?

    (If you don't know the background story, the US put tariffs on European steel, saying that it's subsidized and whatnot. The WTO found that it wasn't, the US was wrong, and European countries are now allowed to sue the US for billions. One story is here.)

    The idea of the forestry being subsidized is just the US government's excuse.

  15. Re:Laws are a disease on The MPAA's Lobbying-Fu is Stronger Than Yours · · Score: 1
    those sanctions would be in violation of NAFTA and the US would have to repeal them shortly

    Just like the softwood lumber tariff?

  16. Jurisdiction? on RIAA Plans Cyberwar Effort · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What I'd like to know is if the RIAA plans on attacking Americans only. I have a funny feeling the answer is "no"...

  17. Re:Microsoft...bleh. on HTML Rendering Crashes IE · · Score: 2, Informative

    The "crash" part is just for looks. It would still crash with

    Man, that's the funniest thing I've read on Slashdot in a while. Thank you. (now watch me get modded down with you)

  19. Good idea! on Intel combines Robots, WLANs, and Linux · · Score: 2, Funny
    Now we can provide Internet access to nuclear fallout regions.

    Ok, ok, I'm sure there are plenty of good reasons for this, but I still like my idea more. I want to play my UT2003 after a nuke attack dammit!

  20. Re:Released or reimplemented? on IBM Denies Charges of Unix Theft · · Score: 1

    *pats you on the head and gives you a cookie*

  21. Re:wow, they must be running out of ideas on Unreal II Demo Released · · Score: 1
    The real problem with FPS game sequels (especially those who are mostly single player) is that no matter how hard the authors try, its never going to be as good as the first

    Ever played System Shock 2?

  22. Re:maybe? on Unreal II Demo Released · · Score: 1

    Spiders aren't until the fifth level or so.

  23. Why all the hybrids? on Sony Vaio GT3/K: You Spilled Your Laptop on my Camcorder · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I've never understood the fascination of combining digital products together. Cell phones with the Internet, laptops with cameras, etc. The way I see it, if you want a laptop, buy a laptop. If you want a camera, buy a camera. If you want both, buy both. Not only do you get a better selection by doing it that way, but you'll probably end up with 2 good products as opposed to 1 mediocre hybrid. Just my $0.02 anyways.

  24. There already is a global patent office on Creating A Global Patent System · · Score: 2, Interesting
    It's called the USPTO.

    At least, that's what it seems like with all the cross-border lawsuits.

  25. Re:OT Re:This is getting crazy.. on Open Source Enables Terrorist States · · Score: 1

    My point is that the US government is part of "everyone", is it not?
