  1. Re:iPod mini Price Worries Me on Rumors of iPod mini, 100 Million Songs, Xserve G5 All True · · Score: 1

    Well, yes exactly. If you were going to buy those accessories anyway, you'd save $17 and get 5 more gigs with the 20 gig iPod.

  2. Agh on Woman Ticketed For Nude Pics On Internet · · Score: 3, Funny
    The article does not link to Harrington's website.

    The one article people would actually read, and you have to go and ruin it!

  3. Re:Japander.com on 10 Ads The US Won't See · · Score: 1

    I can see you've played knifey/spoony before. (Someone had to say it)

  4. Re:Memory erasure? No, but... on Paycheck-Style Memory Erasure: How Close Are We? · · Score: 1

    Ok, we all know that the movie Memento also deals with this memory condition. To be somewhat more helpful, here is the short story it was inspired by.

  5. Re:Where does your money go? on Apple Announces 25 Million Song Downloads · · Score: 1
    So, 15 songs on ITunes total $9.99? Construct your argument right before slapping someone someone in the face on slashdot. Bitch.

    Probably a troll but... Yes, 15 tracks as in an album, most of which sell for $9.99 on iTMS. Oh and; Bitch.

  6. Re:I can see where he's comming from.. on Hong Kong Politician Bejeweled, Unrepentant · · Score: 2, Funny

    Dude, I think your .sig just insulted your wife.

  7. Re:Open Source is bad for the economy on How to Misunderstand Open Source · · Score: 1
    Furthermore, it is completely impossible to blend open/proprietary software schemes in a business model. Can't be done. Give it up.

    Somebody better tell Apple. 'Cause they, uh... do.

  8. Re:I remember on Swedish Student Partly Solves 16th Hilbert Problem · · Score: 1
  9. Re:Its all gone!!! on Japanese Mars Probe Failing · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and I though it was Europa we weren't supposed to land on. Lousy greedy monolith.

  10. Re:Riding a bike != Russian Roulette. on Bicycle Tech Drivetrain Advances Showcased · · Score: 1

    A-ha! I knew it! America's obesity problem is a result of bike-helmet laws. But I gotta ask, do you think the all-powerful helmet manufacturers lobby is being controlled by the Illuminati or the Freemasons?

  11. Re:I want purdi pictures on The Visual Display of Quantitative Information · · Score: 1
    All those words. Man, I can't wait until Slashdot provides IMG support. :P

    ...but please lord, not in the comments.

  12. Re:Problems with iTunes for Windows on iTunes for Windows Reviews · · Score: 1
    It doesn't do what he described in the mac version. I just tested it out to make sure, and iTunes does continue to play through no matter where you are in the interface.

    One annoying thing is that to pause/continue playing you have to be looking at the playlist you're playing. Otherwise the pause button changes to stop, which loses your place. But that's no where as bad as what he's talking about and I suppose understandable from a UI perspective.

  13. Re:This looks great and all... on 2.6 Ton Pinball Machine · · Score: 3, Funny

    Or... have as much... as when... damnit all the good ones are taken.

  14. Re:MPlayer on New Anti-Swap CDs Hit Shelves · · Score: 1
    I remember I was pissed when my record player wouldn't play CDs.

    Ah, yes, record-shaped CDs sold in record packaging. I remember those.

  15. Re:Internet Is A Nice Network, But The Content Suc on Now We Have the Internet, But Why Do We Need It? · · Score: 1
    But, content created by "new" born-after-the-Net media is largely useless, consisting of silly and hopeless attempts to mimic other media and with polished spins on old-fashioned bulletin boards.

    He says on slashdot.

  16. Well then on Response to Spider Robinson on the State of Sci-Fi · · Score: 1

    Well, you heard it folks. This 'future' thing we've been striving for is here. Now there, you naughty scientists, pack all that up. You don't need to think about theses things anymore; If people really wanted to live on moon colonies, don't you think they would be by now? I'm sorry, but if you really wanted flying cars you should have spoken up before. We've achieved the future. It's too late to go changing things now.

  17. Re:Okay, okay... on Wind River To Stop Selling BSD/OS · · Score: 3, Funny
    It is now official - Netcraft has confirmed: "*BSD is dying" is dying

    Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered "*BSD is dying" community when the latest Netcraft survey plainly stated that *BSD accounts for nearly 2 million active sites, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. The "*BSD is dying" trolls are collapsing in complete disarray.

    Fact: "*BSD is dying" is dead

  18. Re:Less excited here... on Berkeley Breathed Back in the Funnies · · Score: 1
  19. Re:Harry Knowles commenting... on Berkeley Breathed Back in the Funnies · · Score: 1

    I'd like to remind them that as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in his internet rumor mills.

  20. Re:There's a huge difference on RIAA Parses 'P2P' As 'Peer 2 Porn' · · Score: 1
    It'd be rediculously trivial to have a .zaa file format that uses a form of compression along with a header with a checksum, description, etc to ensure that the file it claims it has, really is that file.

    If you want to share a file, you pack in into a .zaa file and submit it for community approval before it's checksum is added to a global database as "trusted."

    And lose %90 of the files on the network as it would be a big hassle to pack and submit for approval every damn file.

    I'm not sure what you mean be community approval exactly, but it seems the minimum would be to make sure the file is what it says. Which requires an army of people checking them, with the kind of traffic kazza does.

  21. Re:Myst With Action on Games and the 'Geek Stereotype' · · Score: 2, Informative
    Just gimme a game with the backstory of Myst and the graphics and interactivity of Quake/Doom/Unreal. I want to explore, not pile up bodies.

    Give Real Myst a look (ok, that site kinda sucks). It's the original Myst redone in an actual 3D engine. Sound just like what you're talking about.

  22. Re:Science fiction? on 2003 Hugo Award Winners Announced · · Score: 1

    I've read Hominids, and I remember liking it. Why is it that you dislike it so much, exactly?

  24. Re:Oh boo-f**king-hoo, cry me a river! on Movie Industry Blames Texting for Bad Box Office · · Score: 1
    Not to mention, I can't stand the slimy themes anyway. All smut. I caught part of "Enemy at the Gates" while my son was watching it. The sex scene (woman sticking hand down man's pants) ruined the whole movie. Why do they think that every movie has to have a sex scene in it too??

    When you have little kids you can't even let them watch TV or a movie because of all the smut

    Jeez, nowadays you can't even let your kid watch a nice wholesome movie about people shooting each-other in the head without it being ruined by filthy sex!

    copyleft = freedom
    bsdtype license = free to steal

    copyleft = freedom for code
    bsdtype license = freedom for coders

    Which is more free is a matter of opinion.
