  1. meh on BitTorrent Inherently Illegal? · · Score: 1

    They are just trying to be on the safe side, legally. They aren't really implying that BT is illegal, but it is not allowed for the time being. They even stated that they would reconsider the decision when "the courts decide" whether it is legal or not.

  2. I dont trust VIA... on Via Now Shipping Dual-Processor Mini-ITX Board · · Score: 1

    had numerous problems with my asus amd mobo with via chipset, and nothing from all the similar ones i own with nvidia chipsets

  3. Windows, unfortunately on In Which OS Do You Feel More Productive? · · Score: 1

    I never get anything done in linux because I am constantly finding things to fiddle with, tweak, set up, improve and generally make better. I spend all my time doing things designed to improve my productivity at some later date that I seem to think I will actually be working at.

  4. I haven't seen one on The Return Of The Pop-Up Ad · · Score: 1

    I'm using Firefox 1.0 and haven't seen a popup in months. What kinds of sites have you been visiting?

  5. Re:my system on How Do You Make International Calls? · · Score: 1

    Binary smoke signals work well too

  6. Re:Windows 2000 port? on Paint.NET: The Anti-GIMP? · · Score: 1

    Photoshop elements is infuriating to use when you are used to the real deal. It is missing key features, such as more than 1 level of undo history, channels, and most of the keyboard shortcuts you are used to.

  7. CLR? on A .Net CPU · · Score: 1

    a subset of CLR? Does that mean it clears part of the screen?

  8. Re:Why is it a bad idea if they turn off their pho on Using GPS to Track Teens · · Score: 1

    Thats why we need this in the first place...because its so easy to put your fut down

  9. Re:How about a Google TV Guide? on Coming soon: Google TV? · · Score: 1

    eg "BBC1 24/12/04 22:00". Now that would be really useful:)
    dont you have anything better to do than watch mr bean while waiting for santa claus?

  10. Damn Spimmers on AOL Files First Spim Lawsuit · · Score: -1, Redundant

    This should teach a lesson to all those damn spimmers...

  11. (Another) Obligatory Simpsons Quote on Hypo-Allergenic Cats Now Available for Pre-Order · · Score: 1

    Marge: "I just realized we never had a wedding for the cat and dog! They've been living in sin!"

  12. Re:Reaching out to Rockstar on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Launch · · Score: 1

    I had lots of fun on that rescue mission.
    I escaped from the junkyard with lance and got all the way to the hospital with him.
    I parked in the pink marker but didnt quite hit the right spot, so I figured you need to walk into it so i got out of the car, and lance did likewise, at which point the cars that i had escaped caught up with us, pulled alongside me and ran over lance.

  13. Grammar Police on Interview with a Spampire · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    shouldn't that be 'Spamperor' seeing as the emperor controls the empire, not the other way round

  14. torrent link anyone? on NASA Releases World Viewer · · Score: 1

    i dont have the resources to put up a bittorrent tracker but this is a great opportunity to showcase the power of bittorrent

  15. Say what? on Windows Upgrade, FAA Error Cause LAX Shutdown · · Score: 1

    This happened after an upgrade from Unix to Windows.
    what's your definition of an upgrade?

  16. Re:Unlikely on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 1

    "...it was still dwalfed by the over-all marketshare..."
    you'd think that by your age one would know the difference between L and R

    sorry couldn't resist

  17. Re:And now for something completely different... on Life After Doom · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If you had a slumber party full of cheerleaders, I'd hope that they would be the ones doing the blowing. Unless of course they were demon-cheerleaders I'm sorry.

  18. Re:Wow. Wow. Just wow. on Turn Real Life Into A Cartoon · · Score: 1

    Since when is predicting the future 'Informative'?

  19. Re:No on Is Typing a Necessary Skill? · · Score: 1

    Just have to point out that Ctrl + L does the same as Alt + D and (for me) is easier to hit.

  20. Re:Experiences thus far: on Doom 3 Gets Reviews, Piracy Questions, Exultation · · Score: 1

    The FX5200 is barely a directx 9 card. It has the capabilities to do dx9 features, but lacks the horsepower required to actually render them at playable speeds. When I had one, I could barely run the last test in 3dmark01, which was based on doom3 and has similar graphics. I think it managed 3fps, at most.

  21. When I realized I was a nerd on Reading Slashdot From Strange Locations · · Score: 1

    I was compiling something on my linux router/firewall box and opned up a seperate terminal at 3 AM to check slashdot through lynx was the instant I realized: I'm such a geek

  22. Re:Built one of these, have you? on 4 New "Extremely Critical" IE Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    they should be able to pull it off correctly
    yes they should

  23. Re:Do I smell a 'Homeland Security' scam here? on Next Generation Stun Guns? · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I'm wrong but 10-15% of 100k is between $10,000 and $15,000 I think you may be overpaying a tad for your website

  24. expensive pens on 'Cut and Paste' Is Out, 'Pick and Drop' Is In · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I wonder how this works, and how the PDA would differentiate between more than one stylus. The only solution I can think of is there would need to be some sort of data storage capacity in the pen. They already charge you $10-$40 for a piece of plastic shaped like a pen, who knows how much it will cost when it has a miniature hard drive and wifi connectivity in it.

  25. Canadian English on Ontario Schools License StarOffice · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just because I'm bored I'll post some canadian-american english translations
    American - Canadian
    Soda - Pop
    11th Grade- Grade 11
    well thats all i can think of, that sure killed 2 minutes
