  1. I'll wait until the PSP itself is cheaper. on Sony Connect To Hook Up With PlayStation Portable? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "In related news, our source also revealed that Sony is currently leaning towards a price point of $249-299 in the US..."

    If Nintendo can beat this price, I don't think Sony has a chance at getting the handheld market. I personally wouldn't want to pay that much for just a handheld.

  2. Re:This doesn't help any.... on Internet2 Plus P2P Equals... · · Score: 1

    And then all my traffic goes through our campus ISP's packet filter, reducing the speed at which I upload or download to about 1k/sec.

  3. This doesn't help any.... on Internet2 Plus P2P Equals... · · Score: 1

    My campus still blocks any incoming connections to my computer, so sharing to other colleges is a moot point.

  4. Or for those of you on a Linux box on After DeCSS, DVD Jon Releases DeDRMS · · Score: 5, Informative

    1. Get and compile Mono (emerge mono for those of you with Gentoo). 2. In the command line, type: mcs DeDRMS.cs 3. Then type: mono DeDRMS.exe There ya go!

  5. What do you mean? on Asteroid Impact Simulator Available · · Score: 4, Funny

    But could this simulation be used to calculate the airspeed velocity of a laden swallow?

    African or European?

  6. Average Slashdot user on Ethanol to Hydrogen Reactor Developed · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The Minnesota researchers envision people buying ethanol to power the small fuel cell in their basements. The cell could produce 1 kilowatt of power, nearly enough for an average home.

    But not anywhere close enough for your average Slashdot user.

  7. The face of our attacker? on New Worm Spreads Via MSN Messenger · · Score: 4, Funny

    http://www.home.no/jberg/

    Seems to be a webcam up on the same site that hosts the worm. What worm maker would link to a site that hosts their webcam as well? I guess it shows that some people are really that stupid.

  8. Re:Too....many......music download services on Wal-Mart to Launch Online Music Store · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but their Pod' will probably only play censored music. :P

  9. Too....many......music download services on Wal-Mart to Launch Online Music Store · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why Wal-Mart, why? Isn't the industry flooded enough as is? Although Wal-Mart does make enough to offset the losses it will incur with the music service (as all music services do), its just another iTMS wannabe.

  10. Re:It's cold in here... on Microsoft's Next Virtual PC Will Run Linux · · Score: 1

    No, now its raining.

  11. Bush/A$$croft taking our rights away on Microsoft's Take on iTunes for Windows · · Score: 1

    At least Clinton wasn't gun-ho about taking our rights away.

  12. Perfect irony on Microsoft's Take on iTunes for Windows · · Score: 1

    Let me get this straight....they were sued for having a monopoly, yet now are accusing Apple, with a market share from 4% to 5% of being a monopoly in the music service?

    Mr.Gates, the people have spoken, with 1 million songs downloaded from iTMS in 3.5 days, and they don't want your crap for "standards".

  13. Dialects? on Romancing The Rosetta Stone · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How can this system compensate for the different dialects of all of the different languages?

  14. And yet on UK Government Advised to Promote and Adopt DRM · · Score: 1

    even if DRM was implemented, many broadband users would probably cancel their service. In the end, the broadband companies would just blame it on piracy, taking us back to the original problem.

    You can't have your cake and eat it too.

  15. The RV may float on Amphibious RVing for the Masses · · Score: 1

    but its site can't. Its starting to take on a slashdotting.

  16. Why RM or WMA? on Disney to Make Movies Available Online · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If this is going to be targeting the broadband users, then why don't they use a better codec? I know I'm burning karma here, but I'd rather see the movies in mpeg4 or divx form.

  17. Woah... on RIAA Now Targets Pirates' Parents · · Score: 1

    getting desperate there RIAA?

    Oh well...sue away...eventually you won't have enough money to continue this insane amount of suing you seem to be so intent on doing.

  18. Re:Who's to blame? on Meet the DoJ's 'Anti-Piracy' Lawyers · · Score: 1

    The RIAA appealed that decision. Expect it to be reversed soon.

  19. Who's to blame? on Meet the DoJ's 'Anti-Piracy' Lawyers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    When talking about a P2P application, who is the one to blame for the piracy? The programmers of the P2P app, or the people who use the application for piracy?

  20. Definition of "Fair Use"? on Meet the DoJ's 'Anti-Piracy' Lawyers · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What is your definition of the term "Fair Use" in regard to any software or music we buy?

  21. The answer is money on Trustworthy Software For The NSA? · · Score: 1

    If I wanted to increase my profit margins, what is a better way than to reduce my cost. Remove the high-paying jobs here in the good ol' US of A, and put minimum wage overseas workers in their place. BOOM! More profit!

    If you want a simpler answer: Greed.

  22. Abominable? on Star Wars Galaxies Reviewed · · Score: 4, Funny

    Want to build a giant white Wookie, and name him Abominable? Knock yourself out.

    Are we trying to compensate for something here?

  23. A fitting quote on Anti-Patriot Act Movement Expands · · Score: 4, Insightful

    When the government fears the people, its democracy.
    When the people fear the government, its tyrrany.

  24. So what happens... on Dear Sir: Your Credit Card Number Has Been Owned · · Score: 4, Insightful

    When the hacker breaks into the notification server?

    Even if they didn't steal any information (other than some emails on the server) they could scare the living crap out of alot of people....like a BIG practical joke.

    Then the company would have to send out another email via the notification system to their customers....this ought to be interesting...why trust the company that claimed it was hacked yet it wasn't?

  25. Does this mean.... on The Return Of Shareware Games · · Score: 2, Funny

    We'll get to play great games like Commander Keen once again?
