  1. Re:what's the difference? on It's Official -- Star Wars on DVD · · Score: 1

    This is great. I was always upset at buying the original VHS tapes and then seeing the special edition come out later, but now I feel vindicated. But I just can't bring myself to watch VHS anymore time to Rip. Mix. Burn.

  2. Re:SCO probably wrote it on MyDoom Windows Worm DDoSing SCO · · Score: 1

    but there's no way to stop them make that no quick and easy way to stop them. The court system and the marketplace will take care of them over time, but it requires you to take a deep breath and put SCO on ignore for a little while.

  3. Re:In other news... on Electronic Burglary in the Senate · · Score: 1

    The mental picture of Nixon in a brown robe with glow around him is disturbing to say the least...

  4. Re:In other news... on Electronic Burglary in the Senate · · Score: 1

    Except that he is dead and he got us out of Vietnam and into China so let him rest in peace ok?

  5. Pure Politics on Electronic Burglary in the Senate · · Score: 1

    Is this salon.com now? Give me a break this is a stupid story, guess all you hackers and crackers should support the Republicans now, and there should be plenty of cries of how stupid the Dems are for not securing their own files and using Windoz etc.

  6. Re:expected, but disappointed nevertheless on Pop-Up Ads Lead to Consumer Revolt, Ad-Blocking · · Score: 1

    That is why I get my Technology news from somewhere else like Google.

  7. Re:Computers will be everywhere on The Uncertain Promise of Utility Computing · · Score: 1

    I agree with you. I was talking about the companies view of each other. First and best to market is a better place to be than just first.

  8. Computers will be everywhere on The Uncertain Promise of Utility Computing · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Computers will be everywhere and the will all talk to each other all of the time. That is all they are talking about, however what makes them nervous is whoever makes this work seemlessly first will be a huge winner.

  9. Re:Good idea... on Senator Plans P2P Summit · · Score: 1

    Well one thing you have is a Senator saying no more laws for you. Which is a positive, time to come to the table and work out the issues instead of threats... It is a positive and it reflects real world...

  10. No on Embedded Linux Tools Market a Myth? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Embedded Linux Tools Market a Myth? No. When I read that Wind Rivers was looking into Linux you knew which way things were going.

  11. Re:I'm so TORN on CES 2004 Coverage · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You are wrong Ninja Gaiden is coming out for the X-Box in the this month or next...

  12. Re:Dear Apple: why? on HP Licenses Apple's iPod & iTMS · · Score: 1

    But with DRM MSFT will be protecting other people intellectual property as well so...

  13. Re:I'm just shocked... on Microsoft Rolls Out New Anti-Linux Ad Campaign · · Score: 1

    Just shows how supportive of other companies they are.
    Your sig is wrong it is your right to swing your fist ends at my nose. If somebody punches you in the nose you don't get to saw off their hand. Still the point is very good one that many many people don't understand at all.

  14. Re:Swinging back to a balance on Bangalore Beats Silicon Valley · · Score: 3, Informative

    You also have to hire some armed guards, at least that is what I saw in a show about the people making money in the Indian film industry.

  15. Re:Just a joke. on Caffeine vs Type II Diabetes · · Score: 1

    I did not know that there were second hand coffee issues, also most people find the smell of coffee pleasant and the small of cigarettes crappy. Caffine is addicitive but it does not annoy others, smoking does.

  16. Re:Burst... on Off-The-Shelf Online Music Stores · · Score: 1

    This is a great idea. It would be like an eBay for music, why stop there why not include other digital goods, such as software, audio books, independant film, etc.

  17. Re:Now for the next step - MOD UP on Apple Announces 25 Million Song Downloads · · Score: 1

    I agree, I had know idea how much I liked electronic / techno music until mp3.com launched. I also found this band Paris by Air that has a great 80's sound. It would be great to see somebody launch an all indie iTunes software.

  18. EULA, UN, Blog maddness on E-Voting: a Flawed Solution in Search of a Problem · · Score: 1

    We do why always have to here about the lawyer, political, EULA, UN, Patent, Copyright side of the issues and not the technology? Enough already the found a new Marsupial and the poles may flip. Google Tech for me when I want news for nerds I guess, but I miss the smart comments from many of /.

  19. Re:LOTR is only nerdy if... on We Are All Nerds Now · · Score: 1

    LOL (almost). That always worked to get by me, but I usually only held the line with Frodo and Gandalf.

  20. LOTR is only nerdy if... on We Are All Nerds Now · · Score: 2, Funny

    you name one of your D&D characters after a character in the movie, or as a Dungeon Master you make a rule that nobody can name their characters after a LOTR character.

  21. Re:Lava bath: known long ago, or not? on The Definitive Episode 3 Spoiler Synopsis · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think the Volcano comes from his original script ideas that included a much longer movie than what we saw in Star Wars, which is why Star Wars become episode 4.

  22. Re:Upgrade on Microsoft Retires Windows 98 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I would take that a step further and say what about a useful modification that one of these 0.0001% make that everybody else starts using. Only a few people starting making the MOD to Half-Life called Counter Strike yet it is more popular than the original.

  23. Re:Bummer - MOD Down Parent on Black Isle Studios Shuts Down Development · · Score: 1

    Dude Bioware created Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 and Neverwinter Nights. This is not insightful at all it is wrong, sorry, your heart is in the right place but your facts are wrong. The Big Corporation didn't win over the Creative Artist, the creative artist just broke off from the Big Corporation to find another publisher to work with. Bioware has gone on to make two Neverwinter Nights expansions and Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic.

  24. Re:Nasty on Black Isle Studios Shuts Down Development · · Score: 1

    Bioware, Id, Epic are still arround to name a few, also Bioware and developers from I think Troika games all worked with Interplay to make the Baldur's Gate and Fallout games, it was not a Black Isle only effort. Still the content for the IceWind Dale games using the Bioware created Baldur's Gate engine were excellent games with great graphics and voice acting. It is a shame that Fallout 3 will not see the light of day from in a Black Isle way. The quote that it is a console world is inaccurate, Bioware is doing great with NeverWinter Nights and I think Doom III will sell well on the PC.

  25. Re:An excellent point from Ray Kurweil on SETI Project Scientist Discusses Prospects · · Score: 1

    Well we are on our way with Nanotechnology, and the vehicle we sent to Mars was a small robotic rover and not a flying saucer with people inside. I would think as soon as we have very small mobile sensor or even motes we would use them in device we deploy for exploration purposes.
