  1. Re:Hard To Tell Difference on AAC vs. OGG vs. MP3 · · Score: 1

    For cheap headphones, Grados Sr-80 are awesome. Paid them 140$cdn and I prefer them to any other kind of headphones under 300$cdn. Except Grados sr-125...hmm..

  2. Re:I18n on Unemployed? How Long Until You Find That Next Job · · Score: 1

    Ontario, Saskatchewan, Great Britain...Canadian provinces of course. I don't know if it was an attempt at sarcasm, but if it was, 2 countries does not really make something "international" even though it is.

  3. Damn... on Star Wars Asciimation Revisited · · Score: 5, Funny

    Let's hope that the trolls won't find a way to combine the BLINK tags and ascii art to make an animated goatse guy !

    Insightful ? Someone had a big gnumber of beers before modding !

  5. Re:It's good to see... on LGP Announces Majesty is Complete · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I'm so sick of people posting exactly what they think mods want to see just to get a few Karma points. In EVERY DAMN STORY about either office software or games, we get the

    "Yeah that's good now if Openoffice gets better than MS OFFICE and if Everquest and (insert games here) I really think Linux could supplant microsoft, it will be really interesting to see what the future holds"

  6. Re:Compliance on Hard Drives Instead of Tapes? · · Score: 1

    I work in a data center for a bank that I cannot name, and I can tell you that there is a LOT of compliance worries. Many backups are made non stop, mainframes are mirrored to backup systems, and the robot arm switches tapes almost all day long.

    Ah HAH! Your computer broadcasted your IP, attackers are now ready to compromise your system ! Click here to install Bonzi buddy firewall!

  8. What about intimidation ? on Could E-Voting Cure Voter Apathy? · · Score: 1

    What proves there is nobody with a gun behind you and your computer ? I mean, I could hire people to threaten you so you mod me up... I guess

  9. Re:Screw it on Matrix Reloaded Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    Yeah, And I get 460 . And someone else probably does more, so now everyone stop bragging about bandwidth.

    There sure is at least as much cheating!

  12. It's... on Former Intel Employee 'Disappeared' by U.S. · · Score: 1

    a trap :( I hope this will stop in a few years, when paranoia goes away a bit..

  14. Re:damn! on Portable Pioneer Adam Osborne dead at 64 · · Score: 1

    Definitely, especially since it wasn't even voluntary to get two of them in a row :(

  15. Tell me it's not possible... on Portable Pioneer Adam Osborne dead at 64 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I hate to waste my karma like that, as everyone knows it'll soon be worth more than US$, but damn, first again?

  16. I saw them first on Watching Kids Via Mobile Phone · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Or did I?

  17. I got the following spam today... on Red Hat 9 To Be Released March 31 · · Score: 1

    That pretended to be a Redhat message, but came and tried to send me to a URL to confirm my address that was on another domain. Here's the link to it (the email message, not the link that will confirm mine 2000 as slashdotters click it).

  18. But does it play short games... on Gameboy Advance SP Released Today in North America · · Score: 1

    Like that 20 second-wait before you click game?

  19. Re:The Spam Fanclub is the orignin on CDT Releases New Report on Origins of Spam · · Score: 1

    It was just a shameless attempt at karma whoring. Can't always work. But seriously though, scammers, spammers, all of these scumbags rely on human stupidity. The only solution I see, is forcing people to pass an exam and get a license before they get an IP address.

    All these damn spam fanboys are ruining the net!

    Ahh there you go ! It was a big tux... Good to see that I am not dreaming, however, I haven't tested it and I can't tell if it's true or not!

  22. Re:Mac OS X does not have vector icons on The Definite Desktop Environment Comparison · · Score: 1

    Are you damn sure about that? Or maybe I dreamt about a beta 0.50 version with SVG support... Doesn't seem to be on their website, maybe I've seen that in their IRC channel or something... I remember seeing a screenshot with a very huge mozilla SVG icon and a tagline along the lines of "What could be better than a huge lizard on your desktop?"

  23. Re:Mac OS X does not have vector icons on The Definite Desktop Environment Comparison · · Score: 1

    iDesk has it, at least in the CVS version...I think. But I don't like icons, so I wouldn't know.

  24. Re:I dont get it on Sharp Ships Zaurus SL-5600; 5500 Available Cheap · · Score: 1

    Well, 5$ more of hardware means they will sell it for 200$ more... which is ridiculous, but that's the business. The new E750 by toshiba has 96megs though... Not much more, but getting better!

  25. How many employees... on Legal Issues Don't Bother American Downloaders · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Does the RIAA + MPAA have? 27 000 000 or what?
