  1. all your info are belong to us on Interesting Privacy Decision in New Hampshire · · Score: 2, Informative

    often, similar information can be pulled just as easily off of popular search engines, if the person is active online. are their search and archiving techniques the next to be contested?

  2. Re: Baaaaad news on Goodbye, Dolly · · Score: 1

    oh that's fine. i like my lamb a bit on the seared side, anyways.

  3. Re: weird on Power Laws, Weblogs, and Your Given Name · · Score: 1

    There was a time when people took pride in their last names.

    there was a time when most people died at the venerable age of 24, too. we've moved to discover great new things, such as electricity, and moving pornography. hell, our clickies even have sound.

    If you hate who you are enough to change your name, how can you expect other people to like you?

    i couldn't disagree more. it's entirely possible that a person's parents just had terrible taste in names. i know that i would have swapped handles long ago, had i been named something like 'moonbeam' or 'wheatfield' or some other hippy crap.

    simply put: a putz is a putz, no matter what your ancestors were, or what they did.

    sincere apologies go out to all of you putzes out there who might be offended by this statement.

  4. if this goes through on Demand More From Your Copper · · Score: 3, Funny

    then finally, everyone - plebs and lusers alike - will understand what the internet is all about.

    fast, streaming porn, on a 24/7 connection. yee-haw.

  5. i would suggest on Bush Orders Guidelines for Cyber-Warfare · · Score: 1

    storming into iraqi offices and installing windows xp as a form of attack, but that might just violate of couple of laws set down by the geneva convention.

  6. Re:One question: on Bush Orders Guidelines for Cyber-Warfare · · Score: 1

    Will the script kiddies rain on Iraq?

    does this mean that we've finally found a valid use for them?

    "r4d!"

  7. well, let's see here on Why Does Manga Succeed Where American Comics Fail? · · Score: 1

    heavy metal, heavy metal fakk 2, and spawn are the only american comics / cartoons / animated movies i've seen that have any chance of surviving a comparision to japanese anime / manga. maybe there's more, but i haven't run across them.

    it's pretty sad, too, because the reason they are comparable, is that they don't assume the viewer has an IQ of 80, and are so impressionable that a bit of violence (within an intricate storyline) will twist their fragile little minds.

    i mean, come on! our typical "american comic heros", spider-man, superman, batman, et al. have an amazing tendency to punch and kick their arch-nemesis for a good 20 minutes, and not once do you see a drop of blood spilled. (graphic novels notwithstanding)

    if the american entertainment industry would take off the blindfold, and see that a good number of their audience can really digest media for what it is, they'd probably hide in shame.

  8. isn't this just peachy on Nokia's Cellular GBA - The N-Gage · · Score: 0, Redundant

    yet another gadget for some git to forget to turn off in the movie theater. ):

  9. there you go, getting my hopes up on Blacker Than Black · · Score: 1

    when i saw the title of this article, some small part of me had hoped they'd finally gotten around to inventing a darker beer.

    drat!

  10. Re:Browser Experience on Kevin Mitnick Answers · · Score: 1

    not different?!

    what about fu-fme? (:

  11. Re:Why is this guy a celebrity? on Kevin Mitnick Answers · · Score: 1

    probably because despite that what he did was wrong (and it was):

    a) the courts had to prosecute him in a time when "computer law" (i.e., "horse law") was pretty much nonexistent.

    b) the courts also pretty much screwed his case - and sentencing - up.

    sadly, i've heard of other notables getting in the deep for less than he did, because of similar technological ignorance within the legal system.

  12. it sounds like a good idea on Linux Based IP Videophone · · Score: 1

    to begin with, but do you honestly want to know what the woman you're paying $3.95/minute to talk to really looks like?

  13. Re:Who in their mind... on Opera 7.0 Security Holes ... Fixed · · Score: 1

    i have used it, and - being the control freak that i am - i just couldn't get past the banner ad. it is a really nice piece of work, and it does have a lot of intuitive features... but i can still easily "settle" for mozilla.

  14. five years of promotion on 5th Anniversary of Open Source · · Score: 1

    yeah, i kind of think that while OSS has only been actively promoted for five years, the concept has been put to use for far longer. (:

  15. looks like you can patent anything these days on Online Testing Patented · · Score: 3, Funny

    *runs and patents slashdot trolling before it's too late*
