  1. direct attack on RIAA: Ripping CDs to iPod not 'Fair Use' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    direct attack on its ability to enjoy its copyrights

    And I am experiencing a direct attack on my ability to enjoy my music. This is the exact reason I have stopped buying music in the first place.

  2. Animal Crossing is great for non gamers on Review: Animal Crossing and Electroplankton · · Score: 2, Insightful

    My wife is about as non-gamer as you can get. Well, I bought Animal Crossing for the Gamecube a few years back. She played it for months, eventually losing interest of course, but still for someone that did not usually play games this was quite a feat. I would highly recommend Animal Crossing or Animal Crossing Wild World for anyone that is not traditionally into games. As for Nintendo, I applaud them for this and other attempts at pushing the envelope and can only hope this goes on into the future. There should be more games like this. Not everyone wants the next GTA or Halo.

  3. glquake on Games That Push System Limits · · Score: 1

    When the beta of glQuake came out, I had to buy a 3dfx voodoo. It was worth it.

  4. Suggestion on UK Government Wants a Backdoor Into Windows · · Score: 3, Funny

    They do a google search for "backdoor" and "windows", then just take their pick. Microsoft if nothing else, offers a variety of backdoors for your every need.

  5. Money on Google And Open Source · · Score: 4, Funny

    I don't want just... money. Money's not enough.


    He can PayPal me any of it he does not want. I could sure as hell use it.

  6. Did the source go with him? on Gentoo Founder Quits Microsoft · · Score: 5, Funny

    Tomorrow on slashdot: "Wintoo Announced" "Win32 installation that compiles itself to the specific needs of the hardware upon installation. Developers for Wintoo are remaining anonymous for the time being."

  7. What is the definition of "forced"? on 360 Bundles Lead To Best Buy Housecleaning · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Cause I dont remember being "forced" to buy anything by Best Buy. I do vaguely recall being "forced" to buy something for my wife, but not an xbox 2600 or even an okama gamesphere.

  8. Re:This sounds oddly familiar on Team Confirms UCLA Tabletop Fusion · · Score: 1

    According to this official account Cold Fusion was accidentally invented and perfected by Elizabeth Shue. She gave it to the Russians to solve their problems during a cold winter. It was (Cold Fusion) was originally going to be stolen by Val Kilmer, but he was a bad boy with a good heart who decided to do the right thing and help the Russian scientists create it.

  9. Viiv = modded xbox + XBMC on Intel Looks Beyond the Microchip · · Score: 1

    The way Viiv is described in the summary sounds like a modded xbox running XBMC. Go figure.

  10. Load "$" ,8,1 on What Was Your First Computer? · · Score: 1

  11. The answer is simple on The Secret Cause of Flame Wars · · Score: 1

    To quote the band "System of a Down" from their song "Cigaro":

    My cock is much bigger than yours, my cock can walk right through the door, with a feeling so pure, it's got you screaming for more!

  12. Re:Nintendo is in trouble with the Revolution on Nintendo's New Look · · Score: 1

    I saw this same FUD before the DS came out. How the unstoppable Sony machine was going to eliminate the DS, and that Nintendo, in a year no doubt, would be out of the market. Fast forward over a year later and while Nintendo is busy trying to keep the DS in stock, Sony is busy trying to convince people that the PSP was designed to watch the movie "Hitch". End game, match Nintendo.

  13. I am a time traveler and have a warning on No Time Travel, Sorry · · Score: 2, Funny

    Slashdot, I have traveled back in time seven days to warn you that you will be duping this post. Please make sure this does not happen. Oh, and the post after the dupe is a counter post, which says time travel is possible, and will be used to let you know of your dupe. Take care.

  14. This will happen.. on Apple to Buy out Palm? · · Score: 2, Funny

    After Cisco is done buying out Nintendo AND TiVo. The only problem we will have after this is those pesky flying pigs, and getting the heat turned back on in hell.

  15. Re:The Big Bang on NASA Public-Affairs Appointee Resigns in Disgrace · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Unfortunately on slashdot if you insult and belittle someone's beliefs you get modded up as funny or interesting or even insightful. However, do the same for any kind of science theory or point out that maybe insulting others beliefs is not funny in your opinion, and you will get quickly modded down as a troll or flamebait, much as this post will.

  16. Great idea for a movie on Shark 6th Sense Related to Human Evolution? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Mix The Sixth Sense with Jaws... "I see dead sharks"

  17. In other news.. on Sun Urged to Give Up OpenOffice Control · · Score: 1

    Moon urged to give up tidal control. Moon will not be available to fully comment until FEB. 13 at 4:44.

  18. My advice to paypal on PayPal vs Google(Buy) · · Score: 1

    To quote a collective of bright minds of our era:

    Never trust a big butt and a smile, that girl(Google) is poison -Bel Biv Devoe

  19. Older tech on NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GS For AGP Launched · · Score: 1

    Try thinking outside the box a little. Instead of complaining that "I need to buy a new machine just to use this even faster video card", think like me in the fact that with new tech, price drops occur on the older but still great video cards. I think this is a great thing.

  20. Great seller! on WMF Exploit Sold Underground for $4,000 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Exploit works as advertised!!! Speedy email!! Would Buy From AGAIN!! A+++++++++++! :)

  21. Wow on IE7 Bug Reports Flooding In · · Score: 4, Funny

    A beta of a Microsoft product has bugs? Color me surprised!

  22. Important IE7 "gotcha" on IE 7.0 Beta 2 Available to the Public · · Score: 1

    In order to remove it under Add/Remove programs you have to check off the box "Show Updates". If you are like me and have a lot of ActiveX functions that need to be run, then you will find this piece of advice most helpful since it pretty much breaks everything.

  23. Buyout rumors are fun! on Cisco Eyeing Tivo/Nintendo for Buyout? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Disney/Pixar to buy out Nintendo so Apple can aquire a games console platform to move into the living room. Taco Bell to buy out Depends diapers for adults because the two seem to go hand in hand after a stuffed burrito. See, I can do it too, it's a lot of fun.

  24. Re:Article is wrong on Evolution of Video Game Controllers · · Score: 1

    I do remember that the TurboGrafx-16/PC-Engine had turbo controllers out of the box. They were very similiar in layout to the NES controllers, but slightly better sized for larger hands. They had three different turbo settings (which came in really handy in any Bonk game). I loved that controller.

  25. Translation... on Mother 3 Finished After 11 Years · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If not officially translated, it has a large enough fanbase to where an unoffical translation may take place. Much like the 1997 fanmade translation of Final Fantasy 5 for the Super Famicom. I for one seriously hope it does get an official translation.
