  1. Re:Priorities! on FBI Arrests Eight On Copyright Charges · · Score: 5, Insightful

    But they protected the most important thing of all, the profits of media conglomerates.

  2. Consumer on FBI Arrests Eight On Copyright Charges · · Score: 4, Funny

    Glad to see our government is looking out for the consumer.

    Arresting teens for committing the hideous crime of downloading music and stopping monopolies right in their tracks.

    Ok, maybe not the second part, but 1/2 isn't that bad.

  3. Beta on Windows Vista & IE7 Beta 1 Released · · Score: -1, Troll

    Yay, a beta version of XP.

    Super.

  4. Re:Very cool on Fiber Optics Bring the Sun Indoors · · Score: 2, Informative

    As seen with the need for repeaters fiber does not transmit light even close to far enough to make that practical.

  5. Yay! on FreeBSD Ported to XBox · · Score: -1, Redundant

    What exactly is this good for if you don't have a network connection?

    I mean, yay, we did it, super, but....what now?

  6. But does on FreeBSD Ported to XBox · · Score: 5, Funny

    But does FreeBSD on Xbox run Linux? Yeah.

  7. Re:I wonder ... on Google Offers Hybrid Satellite and Map View · · Score: 1

    Well for one thing it totally doesn't zoom in as far.

  8. Re:I wonder ... on Google Offers Hybrid Satellite and Map View · · Score: 1

    How well the streets and satellite line up are amazing.

  9. Re:Coming to America on Riot Control Ray-Gun for Use in Iraq · · Score: 1

    They can be hidden in tractor trailers with sides that do no impede radio waves.

  10. Re:No more freon in cars on Utah Teens Invent Better Air Conditioner · · Score: 2, Informative

    They did a special episode behind the scenes that shows they really DO do experiments over and over again. Lots of times. It would just be boring to put that in the episode.

  11. Re:My Mom on Women Control the DVR · · Score: 1

    Men are probably smart enough to say they don't know everything about a DVR.

    Try and ask a women how to extract the video data off of the hard drive.

  12. Re:IP Laws will keep the idea from gaining tractio on China Planning For Sustainable Cities · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Survival drives nothing currently.

    People are too apathetic and see our extinction as too far off to warrant changing their lives.

  13. Living on China Planning For Sustainable Cities · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If this were anywhere but China I doubt this would do anything but fail. Once people have tasted a style of living they do no want to go back down. As evidenced by bank robbers you need to keep on robbing because they are burning tens of thosands of dollars a week on drugs.

  14. Re: More Evidence for Tabletop Fusion on More Evidence for Tabletop Fusion · · Score: 2, Funny

    I expect to to be 2050 when we get fusion.

    Well...at least that's when Sim City let me build one...

  15. Fusion on More Evidence for Tabletop Fusion · · Score: 4, Funny

    Will we get it before or after Duke Nukem Forever?

  16. Re:Help...(useful) ideas needed. on Fujitsu Debuts Bendable Electronic Paper · · Score: 1

    The problem with making these a poster would be the fact that someone slashes part of it, and depending on how well they designed it, a large section needs to the replaced.

  17. Re:Yes on Conquering the LaGrange Points? · · Score: 1

    Project Meteor here we come! *stupid Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz reference*

  18. Windows on Falling Window Cover Damages Discovery · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Damn, I thought the shuttle was running Windows for a few seconds there.

  19. Re:Format war on Toshiba HD-DVD Player Planned to Enforce HDMI · · Score: 1

    Of course consumers will allow themselves to be fucked over hog tied.

  20. Re:That's it on Wired Strongarms Subscribers? · · Score: 0

    In Soviet Russia Wired subscibes you!.....to debt collection agencies.

  21. Re:It is theft on Man Arrested for Using Open Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    Not smart enough to enable encryption? How hard is it to read the fucking manual?

  22. Re:question... on Man Arrested for Using Open Wireless Network · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That is completely flawed. This would be like someone drinking from the neighbors sprinklers shooting over the fence.

  23. ads on Eastern Ink Painting on a Computer · · Score: 0

    Slashdot: Check out this awesome site! (link) Rolland: Hmmm, where did that 500 dollars in my Googl account come from? ;) Actually it is really a good article.

  24. Photo on Eastern Ink Painting on a Computer · · Score: 1, Funny

    What the hell? I can paint just fine with photoshop, thank you.

  25. Re:Problems with iConnectHere on VOIP, The Traditional Telephony Killer? · · Score: 1

    Too bad all the phones in an organization can be taken down with a small time smurf attack against the internet connection they use VOIP on.

    Even a little latency increase would be detramental.
