  1. Wrong business plan on X10 Pays $4.3 million In Damages For Pop-Unders · · Score: 0

    All X10.com had to do was say is once their camera software was installed it would stop X10 pop-unders!

  2. I'm ready! on Next Major War in Space? · · Score: 0
    • Hundreds of hours of flight time in multiple cockpit simulations and thousands of simulated kills against all kinds of weird races and a variety of un-American ideologies.
    • Capable of winning against 10:1 odds with completely incompetant wingmen and no shields.
    • Can take down cruisers and battleships with ease.
    • Experienced in salvage and escort operations.
    Please don't let all this valuable experience go to waste!
  3. Re:Please, shut up on Half-Life 2 Delayed Following Code Leak · · Score: 0

    If the people coding the game are now devoting their efforts to finding network vulnerabilities, they're screwed anyway. They didn't have reasonable protection before (Outlook? AYFKM?) and diverting people who's job ISN'T to secure the network to secure the network is a very weak and temporary patch. On a lighter note, the soap opera may be better than the game.

  4. Re:Proof that Linux is becoming The One OS on Turn Your New Opteron Into A One-Game Console · · Score: 0

    Your "future" implies slow, very limited storage space. Ugh. 10k rpm hard drives aren't even fast enough, and you want to drop down to CDs and USB? Step away from the bong.

  5. Re:Information systems jobs (MOSs) in the Army on IT Training in the Military? · · Score: 0

    And you still have time to read /.!

  6. Re:It's also a matter of computer EDUCATION... on RIAA Sues 12-Year Old Girl · · Score: 0

    Sadly enough, this is supposed to be an 'honors' student. At least when I was making copies of stuff back in middle school, I knew it was wrong. (I guess temptation can be pretty tempting sometimes.)

  7. Re:Telling Quote - Public Perception on RIAA Sues 12-Year Old Girl · · Score: 0

    I suppose the cops are going to quit giving out speeding tickets too. Most people obviously feel it's okay to speed.

  8. Re:What If I Just Don't Pay? on RIAA Prepares Legal Blitz Against Filesharers · · Score: 0

    They could petition the court to garnish your wages or put a lein against any property you hold the title to. If you don't mind being jobless and homeless, or perhaps emigrating then you're good to go. Unfortunately, the law is probably on the RIAA's side on this one. And not for any nefarious evil-megacorp-controlling-the-gov't reasons, but rather that filesharing really is frequently a violation of copyright law. Remember, the RIAA is not suing individuals to make money. It's to put a stranglehold on filesharing. Their lawyers are likely costing them more than they would ever collect.

  9. Re:I for one... on Roomba Robot Vacuum Gets Siblings · · Score: 0

    Clean up humans? Talk about a killer app! Though if it was programmable...

  10. Re:Corporate Feces on Introducing Probability into Chip Design · · Score: 4, Funny

    At least it didn't say Pentium(R) 4(R). Not for lack of trying, I'm sure.

  11. The more things change on Introducing Probability into Chip Design · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hey, this is nothing new as anyone who owned an original Pentium can tell you. It probably gave you the right answer, except for the occassional FDIV.

  12. Re:Not surprising on Tampa Police Give Up On Face Recognition Cameras · · Score: 1

    Holographically? How many holes did you have to drill to get the coherent light to your brain to reconstruct the image?

  13. Open Source? on RedHat Starts "Open Source Now" Fund · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Shouldn't it be Open Wallet?

  14. Re:solar and wind power is viable right now on (Solar) Power to the Masses · · Score: 1

    Easy and hard have nothing to do with it. All they want is a way to charge you for it. Monthly. There's no real benefit to an existing power company in selling you solar or wind tech. Sell a man a fish and he'll be back tomorrow. Teach a man to fish and you'll be pawning your boat title. Or something like that. Only...better.

  15. What can I sell you today? on Microsoft's Forgotten Mistakes · · Score: 1

    So you'd pay $400 for Office X+1 "just bug fixes and a speed increase"? You're the person that keeps telemarketers in business, aren't you? Me, I expect a couple of new features at least.

  16. Real Ultimate Value on Decipher · · Score: 1

    Reviews like this are very valuable. It tells us never to trust any evaluation from this guy ever again.

  17. Fap Factor Five on Ostrich Lessons In Oregon? · · Score: 1

    The entire article has precisely zero examples of Linux being used as a desktop solution. File servers, web servers, thin terminals, blah blah blah. And then the hack busts out with a claim that MS would be fighting for 5% of the desktop market if only this great secret was let out. Mind your step. It's another Linux circle jerk.

  18. Re:There is a country where people work for free on Offshore Outsourcing Threatens Offshore Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    No need to go that far. Just find the closest linux supporter.
