  1. MPAA != RIAA on MPAA School Propaganda Program Examined · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Common misconception.

  2. Re:Shocked! Just shocked! on X10 Files For Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection · · Score: 1

    The reason why they were sued was because they weren't paying their advertising bill. Slashdot has been spreading this crap since yesterday.

  3. Re:Stop the knee-jerking towards..... on X10 Pays $4.3 million In Damages For Pop-Unders · · Score: 1

    daddypants@slashdot just didn't want to know. I pointed it out as soon as the article went pink.

  4. Re:MSN Messenger Starts Internet Explorer Too on Microsoft Antitrust Compliance Questioned · · Score: 2, Informative

    You can disable that in Tools > Options > General > [ ] Show msn today

  5. and it would be more... on Windows iTunes Sells A Million Songs In 3.5 Days · · Score: 1, Insightful

    If it wasn't for their fucking US-only licencing with the companies. Almost everyone I regularly talk to would make use of an international service.

  6. DON'T DO IT on FCC Commercializes More Bandwidth for 3G services · · Score: 1

    Mobile operators were doing, on the whole, well in the uk until they paid over the odds for the 3G licences and have landed themselves in huge amounts of debt.

  7. A vote for 1984 is a vote for paranoia! on Watching You · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Vote for it in the BBC's Big Read final.

  8. Re:Enforcement authority? on France: No Google Text Ads For Trademarked Words · · Score: 1
    Are the Google French servers even located in France? If so, perhaps they should be moved out of the country and the French told to kiss Google's derriere.
    Nope. They are all in the same location somewhere (I think) in the NW of the USA. None of it should fall under french law.
  9. Parent makes good point. on Magneto-Optical Drives Reviewed · · Score: 1

    We've had some really dumb mods browsing at +1 recently, rather than -1, and as such the bullshit gets false credited. Mods, please read the FAQ.

  10. CHECK GRANDPARENT NOT A TROLL on Linux Kernel 2.6.0-test8 Released · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    we got an AC here that needs to grow up.

  11. Re:Hmm on Taipei 101 Now World's Tallest Building · · Score: 1
    It was actually taller than the petronas towers before the spire was added.
    Taipei 101 exceeded the structural height of Petronas Tower 1 in late August of 2003... The final section of the spire was put in place October 9, 2003, thus giving Taipei 101 the official world's tallest building title.
    It was a very misleading submission.
  12. Re:Netscape on AOL to Launch Discount "Netscape" Internet Service · · Score: 1

    AOL paid MS them millions then dumped the Mozilla project. I bet it will be one of them IE skins that nobody knows to uninstall. My isp installs one onto IE if you use their (unnecessary) software.

  13. Re:A new email address might be more useful... on 'Winston Smith' Speaks Out On MS Reader Convertor · · Score: 1

    Trust me, in a couple of weeks, it will.

  15. reminder about shares on SGI Compares Linux & System V Source Code · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Keep a watch on those stock prices and insider trades. Its not like they are even trying to hide it any more.

  17. huh? on VeriSign Shutting Down Site Finder · · Score: 1

    Weren't they just "suspending" it? I anticipate a quiet revival sometime in the future.

    Microsoft? Screw over it's customers? Nah.

  19. Jump ship? on Windows 2003 takes 5% away from Linux · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Jump ship? Why jump ship? Because others have done so? If I decide to jump off a cliff and fall to my microsoft death will you follow just because you can? Jeez, whats up with people these days.

  20. Peh? Nothing new on Source Code to Homeworld Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    any sort of property aside from the source such as graphics or codecs have been stripped

    Also released in 1999 was Unreal Tournament, which shipped with it's game engine avaliable to modders out of the box. Its done them no harm at all, they created the levels for the game within the sandbox they created for modders and used the same tools as they shipped modders and more developers should do the same.

  21. Re:Simple on Now We Have the Internet, But Why Do We Need It? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Until mummy and daddy catch you.

  22. Re:Right, then! on ICANN, IAB Ask VeriSign to Suspend SiteFinder · · Score: 1

    If I plastered my ads on your website without your permission you wouldn't like it, would you? They are placing adverts on 'websites' they don't own. It has lasted so long because nobody owns them.
