  1. Art? on The Art of Cable Folding · · Score: 1

    Since when was bending wires in your PC an Art? It's more of a skill- one that even monkeys could be trained to do.

  2. Beta? on Classic Gaming with Zelda Homebrew · · Score: 1

    Anyone have a link for the OS X download? I can't find it anywhere...

  3. Re:iPod Killer? on Holiday Competition For iPod Dollars · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yes the Ogg music store seems to be outpacing the iTunes Music store by a factor of....
    Oh wait a second what Ogg music store...?

  4. Re:Piracy = Theft (again) on Bungie Speaks On Halo 2 Leak · · Score: 1

    Right- if the guy gives you the bike and you use it- you are not the one that is going to be charged with theft. So you may have bad karma... I am not saying you should steal from people-- but because you use a stolen bike that does not make you a thief.

  5. Re:Piracy = Theft (again) on Bungie Speaks On Halo 2 Leak · · Score: 1

    I can't believe people modded this as flamebate.

    People are pretty ignorant when it comes to piracy and theft... if you find a copy of Halo 2 on the street and start making copies and selling them... that is piracy. If you work in Burger King and take a pickle and eat it from their tray- that is theft.

    If you find leaked beta software on the net that is neither piracy nor is it theft- it is sloppy security within the company making it.

  6. I hate to admit this.. on If Windows Came to PPC, Would You Switch? · · Score: 1

    ...I am a mac enthusiast, but if I could run both Operating Systems I would.

  7. Safari startpage URL for non Safari users on Netscape Turns 10 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    http://apple.netscape.com/apple.adp
    Apparently Apple will be switching to this page:
    http://www.apple.com/startpage/

  8. Okay... on Brain Controlled Computing a Reality · · Score: 1

    Just let me know when they can do this without cracking my head open.

  9. Re:nasa.ebay.com on Space Station Turning Into a Trash Heap · · Score: 2, Funny

    I bet they could make a lot of cash on soiled astronaut panties...

  10. consult the American Way(tm)... on Space Station Turning Into a Trash Heap · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Just use explosives dammit!
    Blow that trash to smithereens!!

  11. hilarious... on Blizzard Stomps Bnetd in DMCA Case · · Score: 1

    do you think this is 1980 or something?...
    Backups are illegal!!
    You keep up this behavior and I guarantee a squad of psychiatrists will lobotomize you for your anti-social behavior.

  12. Re:Helping people emigrate from MSIE etc. on Firefox 0.10.1 Released, Fixes Security Hole · · Score: 1

    I think one thing I would also do is turn off all the menu's in IE... so that when this user starts using IE it just basically becomes a button-less, address-bar-less windows update terminal.

  13. As for me... on Keeping Microsoft Happy · · Score: 1

    I usually just sacrifice a medium sized animal during the feast of luprecal.... so far it seems to be working.

  14. Re:Just to compare on U.S. Offers $50 Download · · Score: 1

    they aren't exactly new, but in the race to make the worlds ugliest currency- I think Australia is winning by far

  15. Re:Sounds like a Challenge to me on U.S. Offers $50 Download · · Score: 1

    The reason why that can't happen is that Black market, grey market and other illegal activities are a large chunk of the economy that making digitally-traceable money would end up hurting the US... Especially when it comes to the US dollar being used as an international trade currency.

  16. Re:Obligatory on U.S. Offers $50 Download · · Score: 1

    Isn't Kerry already on the $20?

  17. Just to compare on U.S. Offers $50 Download · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here are the new Canadian 20$ bills.
    the site has some info on the new security features on this bill- there are also new 100$ bills, the only thing missing is new $50 bills.

  18. Confidential: on FBI Ordered to Turn Over Lennon Files · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yoko Ono is really an alien... do not look her directly in the eyes.

  19. Re:*Sigh* on 100 GB Email Account · · Score: 1

    what the hell is a penis contest??

  20. renewal on .Mac Storage Now 250MB · · Score: 1

    I am a little unsure if I want to re-subscribe to .mac...
    I do have a gmail account, but It doesn't offer IMAP or POP3 support. I really don't know of any free web-storage companies but it does seem that spymac does offers a better online web-hosting package... Also the .mac only software is one incentive to stick with .mac (you never know what they may release in the future).
    I guess like most people I will end up re-subscribing to .mac just so I don't have to go through the trauma of changing habits (or e-mail addresses).

  21. Cache solution on Dear Microsoft Windows ... · · Score: 1

    I agree, slashdot's usefulness is limited by the slashdot effect.
    They could cache the page and leave the banner ads html in place- then send a notice to the site informing them they are in Slashdot's cache and if you wish to update your article at all here is a user ID and password to alter your cache- this admin account could also feature viewing statistics so that the website author could incorporate into his or her own and not have to worry about losing revenue.
    In reality, chances are Slashdot neither has the resources or the money to create this cache or hire people to maintain it.

  22. Abridged for the Slashdeft impaired on GDI Vulnerabilities: An Open Letter to Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Open Letter to Micr0$haft, I had a basement which smelt, and my brother would lock me in and yell at me saying: "It's cooooooooming..... It's cooooooooming to get you.......". And there I stood: alone in the dark, unknown terrors approaching, armed only with a bucket of water. This is exactly like Windows. I can't read your code because it is spaghetti code. Your "GDI Scanning Tool" is worse than useless. stop treating your customers like idiots. Windows sucks, I hate you x 10, -TL

  23. Introducing... on Tim Berners-Lee and the Semantic Web · · Score: 1

    ...The Semantic Web, where everyone speaks esperanto and the Java is free!

  24. Re:What does the "G" stand for? on Adobe Releasing New Photo Format · · Score: 1

    My Guess is Graphic ala PNG

  25. Bah on Build Your Own Solar-Powered Scooter · · Score: 5, Funny
