  1. FP on Is the Dean Campaign Spamming? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Mod me down. I got Karma to burn

  2. Who here misses... on One Last New Episode of Futurama · · Score: 2, Funny

    ..the Tracy Morgan show. Even at the age of, I'm guessing 8, he has been providing entertainment with his comedy show. Good for you, Tracy Morgan, good for you!!

  3. But first... on Disclosure of Major Software Exploits by Students? · · Score: 1

    ...change your grade to give yourself an "A" in gym

  4. Re:I gotta stop going out nights... on XForms Becomes Proposed Recommendation · · Score: 1

    Both.

  5. I gotta stop going out nights... on XForms Becomes Proposed Recommendation · · Score: 1

    ...that "summary" made my head hurt.
    That's a whole lotta crap jammed in a very small space.

  6. Let me get this straght... on Cringely Proposes a Music Sharing Alternative · · Score: 1

    If I own stock in a company that owns the rights to, or I don't know, KFC's chicken, I have the right to that recipe? If they want to give that info out?

  7. Re:ACMD eht setaloiv egassem siht gcidoceD on Open Source Law · · Score: 1

    This might be more effective if you spelt gnidoceD correctly. I will now wait by the door for the DMCA police.

  8. Still don't get it. on Website Posts Partial SSNs of Politicians in Protest · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The thing that astounds me is that the people who voted no STILL don't get it.
    The tactics do not show how out of control lobbying is a bad thing (even if it is), they show that those in dissent don't have a clue about what information they are allowing to be broadcast.

    I just finished my dinner, so this must be "just desserts!"

  9. Re:Reinventing the wheel on Implementing WiFi in the Real World · · Score: 4, Funny

    Plus with the Pringles, you get a snack,
    plus the joy of taking two pringles, turning one upside down, sticking them part way into your mouth, and imitating Donald Duck.

  10. nTh Post!!! on Apple to Announce the Power Mac G5 at WWDC? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Anyway, what I found most interesting about the rumor/article was the inclusion of USB2.

    They have long championed Firewire as superior (which it is, and is still included) but it is nice to see that they are willing to adapt and a more common USB2.
    This acceptance of USB2 shows a willingness to accept standards, no matter how wrong they are.

  11. I'm too stupid... on SCO Shows 80 Lines of Evidence? · · Score: 1

    to figure this all out.
    How long is an average line of code? And can't it be assumed that two people came up with the same solution?

    And to the comments, how specific are they? I know you don't know, but they don't know that you don't know, and you don't know that they don't know that you don't know.
    Anyway, if the comment is "This sends command to the kernal" that seems pretty obvious, but if it is "I, the SCO master demand that you all bow down before me while this sends commands to the kernal" it might pose a problem.
    Which leads us all back to one thing, if you have evidence SHOW IT!!!

  12. Re:Lifestyle is where it is... on Ballmer Sends Wakeup Call to Staff · · Score: 1

    I think you are right on this. I believe MS may be trying to get there with their Home Media Thingee, but I don't know if that is a solution either.

    The problem sometimes with technology companies is that they like to provide solutions for questions/problems that don't exist. Just because they can.

    I do believe that Apple is getting it: Use technology to help consumers, not create technology and then try to find a place for it.

  13. Re:Three million sold? on Apple Wooing Smaller Labels · · Score: 4, Funny

    It was over 1 mil in the first week.
    They reached 2 mil in 16 days.
    They reached 3 mil in 4 weeks.
    At this rate they will be selling only 1 song a week by the end of the year. And this means...

    (everybody say it with me)
    Beleagured Apple is going out of business!!!

  14. Re:Registration Fee: $995 per person on The 3rd Annual Nigerian EMail Conference · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does that mean you can get only ONE breast enlarged?
    Do you get to choose which one?

  15. Life on Mars... on Might Mars Contain Life? · · Score: 2, Funny

    maybe not, but I know there is life on Myanus. Oh wait... Shoot, I can never tell a joke right.

  16. Re:i.Link/Firewire on Sony Announces a Super Playstation 2, the "PSX" · · Score: 1

    Not only do I need to brush up on my Japanese, it seems I should read Slashdot more often too.
    Even though they did remove it, I would think that with a large HD and DVD-R capabilites that it (i.Link) would be ideal for home video editing/transfer.

  17. i.Link/Firewire on Sony Announces a Super Playstation 2, the "PSX" · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I couldn't find anywhere that it included i.Link?Firewire. I find it hard to believe that Sony would make a multimedia product that didn't have a port or two
    Maybe I just need to brush up on my Japanese.

  18. When in doubt... on DVD Recording - Is There a Winner Yet? · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...record in BetaMax!

  19. BitTorrent is being used for piracy? on BitTorrent Blamed for Matrix2 Downloads · · Score: 5, Funny

    I guess next you will tell me that people use Kazaa for porn.

  20. Quartz Extreme for other purposes on Future of 3d Graphics · · Score: 1

    I freely admit that I am not as knowledgeable about computer "stuff" as most of you, but what is stopping people from doing a similar thing like Quartz Extreme to some of the computer processes? If the graphics card in a Win/Apple/Linux computer can handle some other processes, why not let it? Just wondering.

  21. Drag and drop, shmrag and pop. on 60G Nomad Zen vs. The iPod · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Drag and drop? I've gotten spoiled by just plugging my iPod in, waiting 30 seconds while it automatically updates everything, and then unplugging
    For data files, yeah, I guess I have to do the drag and drop. But for music, I'll stick to "plug and un-plug"

    While I prefer the iPod, I enjoy the competition because it only make both products better in the long run. And that benefits me, and isn't that what it is all about?

  22. Austrailian Paliamentary Process... on Australian Considers Outlawing Spam · · Score: 4, Funny

    Bruno: [looking at spam] Ooh! Ah, that's it. I'm going to report this to me member of parliament.
    [yells out window] Hey, Gus! I got something to report to you. [Gus tends his swine]

    Gus: That's a bloody outrage, it is! I want to take this all the way to the Prime Minister.
    [they go down to a lake] Hey! Mr. Prime Minister! Andy!

    Andy: [floating naked on an inner tube with a beer] Eh, mates! What's the good word?

  23. What are Mac useers supposed to do? on How to Make a Starship Enterprise out of a 3.5" Floppy · · Score: 5, Funny

    For the first ever, I am mad that my Macs don't have floppy drives. Now how am I supposed to waste five minutes of my day?
    Oh, right. I forgot.
    Masturbate!

  24. 5 to 15 years?!?! on Trustworthy Computing At One Year · · Score: 3, Funny

    I was always told:
    Measure Twice...Cut Once

    That's some free advice from me to MS

    1) Mullets are NOT cool.
    2) Do not, I repeat, do NOT eat massive amounts of poutine
    3) Apple does not go out of business
    4) And Canadian bacon is NOT real bacon
