  1. Re:Not as bad as it sounds... on Supreme Court Rules Private Property Can be Seized · · Score: 1

    Walmart won't be the one taking your house away, the government will. Find the bastard who thought that there was a better use of your property and make a good example with a stylish punishment.

  2. Re:Slashvertisment? on Linux HiFi: The Sonos Digital Music System · · Score: 1

    By that I wanted to say that there isn't a real-life photo in the review, which is kind of strange, and not that this product is vaporware.

  3. Slashvertisment? on Linux HiFi: The Sonos Digital Music System · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "[if (blahblah) and if (blahblah2)...] then the Sonos Digital Music System is for you. It's the current state of the art for wirelessly controlling music in a large home or business where you need just the right music in the right room at the right time.

    Analog loophole, analog loophole... a whole page raving about that and the fact that you can rip CDs to MP3s on your computer and play them on this thing! And there isn't even a single real-life photo, only those found on the official site. Nobody seems to be complaining about the slashvertisment now, eh?

  4. Re:I'm tired of this crap on Microsoft Cuts Anti-Virus Support For Unix / Linux · · Score: 1

    >Truly, if this stuff was allowed to go on in other industries we would barely be out of the stone chisel stage.

    What "this"? Discontinuing useless producs nobody was buying anyway?

  5. Re:Who cares about the technical details? on Opera: Firefox User Figures 'Inflated' · · Score: 1

    > the Opera execs should realize already that they can't sell their browser when their customers can download a perfectly good one for free.

    They seem to be doing that right now, which is what keeps the company (and the CEO, hehe) afloat.

  6. Re:I didn't think you could on EFF: 48 Hours to Stop the Broadcast Flag · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah right, and presidential executive orders are about ordering more bottled water for the office.

  7. Re:Korea on All Your Base Are Turned Five · · Score: 1

    No, it's funny again... in Japan!

  8. Re:What people want... on Most Americans Want Gov't To Make Internet Safer · · Score: 1

    Nobody who voted for either of the two main jackasses cares about the Constitution. What remains is the tiny % of people who voted for some of the third parties (mainly liberterian, the greens IIRC wanted to take away the guns and the constitutional party wanted to create a christian nation, doesn't seem too constitutional) and an unknown amout of those who didn't vote.

  9. Re:Slashdot on Simpsons Film in Preproduction · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Slashdot jumped the shark when people started bitching about dupes, editors, and the buyout.

    Also, the expression "jump the shark" jumped the shark when it was mentioned in over six posts in a single thread.

  10. Re:Well Time to add it to the Boycott List on Interview with Alexander Noe, PxScan Developer · · Score: 0, Offtopic
  11. Re:I just have to ask... on NPR Talks Skyhooks · · Score: 1

    >The longest song in my MP3 collection is 22:43

    Bah, that's pretty weak. Manowar's Achilles, Agony and Ecstasy is 28:38, and there are two 19 and one 15 minute songs on Deep Purple's Concerto for Group And Orchestra. Put a bunch of songs like these on a playlist and you've got enough music for the ride.

  12. Frist psot! on Mars Rover Breaks Free · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This would have been a first post, but my packets got stuck in the router dunes and only now managed to free themselves!

  13. Re:This is great on Settlement Proposed in iPod Class Action Suit · · Score: 1

    Well and WTF do you expect to get for a faulty battery? $5000? I don't know how much the lawyer would get in this case, but if it weren't for him, thousands of suckers like you wouldn't get a cent from apple.

  14. Re:Free market burden on disposal on Whose Burden is it to Recycle Computers? · · Score: 1

    And in order for your free market solution to work, you suggest that the manufacturers should be forced to recycle/dispose themselves? Califohnia's approach seems more free-market than that, after all, consumers would also like to pay as little as possible.

  15. Re:YES! on Steering Wheel Checks Alcohol Consumption · · Score: 1

    I have a right to drive in whatever condition I want. On my property. Of course this wouldn't be a violation of my rights anyway, since nobody (so far) is forcing me to use this steering wheel.

  16. Re:Patents as Weapons on Stallman Unimpressed by Nokia Patent Pledge · · Score: 1

    Patents don't kill innovation, I kill innovation!

  17. Re:No fair!! on Citywide Fiber Project Challenges and Goals · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No, they'll complain that it's against competition to have unnecessary services provided with the money everyone, including them, contributes.

  18. Re:Logitech Mice on Logitech Cordless Desktop LX500 and LX700 Showdown · · Score: 1

    Well the recent Microsoft Wireless Optical Mice (not IntelliMouse Explorer) seem to be symmetrical, and should be on the level of those of Logitech. Not to mention the Razer Diamondback, which is a top quality (wired) mouse.

  19. Re:modern desks on Logitech Cordless Desktop LX500 and LX700 Showdown · · Score: 1

    I don't think they meant all electronic devices, just anything capable of interfering with the setup, such as monitors and cases full of RF emitting stuff.

  20. Re:Way to suck... on New Pentium Chipsets Launched · · Score: 1

    Why is Intel consistently a prime waste of power?

    Because up to the introduction of P4, and especially Prescott, AMD's processors were the prime waste of power?

  21. Re:LOL on Electricity Outage Puts Routing to a Tough Test · · Score: 1

    Heavy metal, or no metal at all!!

  22. Re:Wireless mouse/keyboard issues with games on Top Mice Compared · · Score: 1

    I have an older Logitech MouseMan optical, and although it's not very precise (or comfortable), I can say that there's no noticeable lag. It's perfectly possible to play fast FPS games, so RPG should be just fine.

  23. Re:Wow... on Write Down Your Passwords · · Score: 1

    Hah, that's my dog's name...this week!

    (I'm also sorry, I remember reading something like this in one of the previous password-related threads)

  24. Re:What'll the neighbors think? on Tinfoil Hat House · · Score: 1

    > You can't say that piling sheet metal randomly against the fence and your roof is the same at all.

    You don't have to say this at all. It might look like shit and provide no functionality, but it doesn't matter. They don't need to have a reason to do anything to their property.

  25. Re:Tariffs are an answer. on The Problem with DHS's Plan to 'Buy American' · · Score: 1

    but shouldn't you conserve at least 10% of your industry like you conserve an endangered species?

    No, let them die out. I mean both the industries and the species. By now thousands, if not millions, of species died out, and nothing really happened. If they can't show any competitive advantage, fuck 'em.
