  1. Re:Who cares? on New Star Trek MMOG Announced · · Score: 1

    These are Star Trek games we're talking about. In comparison to most of the others, they're pure latinum.

  2. Re:Scotty would be pleased. on Transparent Aluminum Is Here · · Score: 1

    They can figure out transparent aluminum, I forget to preview.

  3. Re:Scotty would be pleased. on Transparent Aluminum Is Here · · Score: 5, Funny

    Of course he did. It just took 28 years for them to figure out the formula.

  4. Re:As ObiWan said... on Star Wars on DVD · · Score: 1

    Go ahead and use the force. I just looked on Slashdot and got the same result.

  5. 1984 on Star Wars on DVD · · Score: 2, Funny
    Everybody knows that the versions coming out on DVD are the originals.

    Big Lucas takes care of us.

  6. Difficulty on Word Up · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wouldn't a computerized Scrabble player have the potential to become unbeatable pretty easily?

    Should we welcome our new, dictionary-using Unix overlords?

  7. Re:I'd be happy... on Longhorn's Windows Graphics Foundation Examined · · Score: 1

    I've been using my girlfriend's computer for a few weeks now; it has 256mg/memory and with all the heavy stuff I'm doing (network transfers, p2p, web surfing, email, compression), it's just as bad as any "lesser" Windows. Hell, with a slow system I've seen it in Linux and OS X.

  8. Re:Obligatory joke on Sony's $700 Linux-based Remote Control · · Score: -1, Troll

    Nope. It runs Linux.

  9. Re:Is this costly ?? on How Does Gmail Stack Up In The Webmail World? · · Score: 1

    Google does use IDE drives. It's one of their big famed techniques. They just raid the hell out of them. So we're talking a few bucks a gig, still.

    But people won't use the full space anyway. Most people will probably use less than 10% of that, which is very doable for almost any company.

  10. Re:Great! on Doom 3 Reaches Gold Master, Due August 5th · · Score: 1

    ... in 1995. Now you'll have to get creative.

  11. Re:Wind Shear on SpaceshipOne's Control Problem Fixed · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When you're designing a space ship thats primary goal is to get it only to the edges of space, wind shear is one of your top priorities.

  12. Re:its true on Remote Controls On The March · · Score: 1

    You *do* know you can buy another remote?

  13. Re:Great gamer machine. No latency! on FourHead: One PC, Four Users · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Also known as a console.

  14. Yelling on Is Caps Lock Dead? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    If the caps lock dies, HOW CAN I YELL?

  15. Re:Still waiting for the nano-itx.. on Sneak Preview of VIA's next-gen mini-ITX mobo · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Imagine a beowulf cluster of these things! Get together fifty or sixty and you might have close to a real computer!

  16. 1.3ghz on Sneak Preview of VIA's next-gen mini-ITX mobo · · Score: 2, Funny

    1.3ghz should be enough for anybody.

  17. Re:why not... on Fermilab Builds 500-Megapixel Camera · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but imagine the phone bills...

  18. Re:Not likely to fly... on Safe and Insecure? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Wrong. It'd be like if a gun owner signed a contract with the gun company saying that anything that happened with said guns is their fault and then left them on the front lawn for all to enjoy.

  19. Re:obligatory.... on XVID 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    No, but any blanket statements such as "Ripping isn't illegal" should take into account where most people will read them, in this case, the US and other less-enlightened countries.

  20. Re:MPAA NOTIFIED; SWAT TEAM ON THE WAY on XVID 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Or the DMCA, whichever.

  21. Re:MPAA NOTIFIED; SWAT TEAM ON THE WAY on XVID 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Yes it is. Read the DCMA.

  22. Re:See the Other Submissions on OO.org Selects Its Own Sea Bird · · Score: 0

    Photoshop LE isn't free. You're forced to pay for it alone with the cost of the tablet, camera, scanner.

  23. Won't help me on VIA Announces Lead-Free Motherboard · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I plan on using it forever!!! No dumpster for me!

  24. Re:Okay, but how does it get to the computer? on New Internet Speed Record · · Score: 1

    10 Gigabit ethernet would do it. And some fibre.

  25. MP3/FM Support? on N-Gage QD - Nokia's Answer To The Critics? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So they take out two of the few things that made it worth buying. Wouldn't it just be a matter of some easily-coded software to give it mp3 support? The proc is certainly fast enough to run it software.
