  1. Good Thing, But... on Appeals Court Rules Against RIAA in DMCA Subpoena Case · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...the real problem is Congress. I think the RIAA will just go back to their Congressional, Sonny Bono-style minions on Capitol Hill to get this "fixed", and we will have another silly DMCA II law that covers this situation.

  2. Re:If I were Zeus on Company Claims Patent on CD Writing · · Score: 0
    I would have run out of lightning bolts to throw by now...

    Actually, as Zeus you would have stopped throwing them because of a cease-and-desist order from another deity's lightning bolt patent.

  3. Re:Techniques used by spammers? on Spidering Hacks · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Other than using google, why would anyone use these techniques other than to harvest email like a spammer?

    There's a lot more information on the Web than just e-mail addresses. Besides, why be reliant on search engines when you can do it yourself?

  4. Re:This protects the court on SCO Code to be Protected in Closed Court · · Score: 0
    This protects the court, because if the code itself became part of the court records, SCO would have to sue the court itself for violation of SCO intellectual property.

    This is why we need Judge Judy on the bench in this case.

  5. The Public Can't See? on SCO Code to be Protected in Closed Court · · Score: 0
    "...No one in the public will get to see this code," said Stowell.

    And yet the public is subject to lawsuits over this fictitious code? What sense does that make? I can't see what I can, in theory, be sued over?

  6. Slashdot on Winamp 2 + Winamp 3 = Winamp 5! · · Score: 0
    Moments after this story was posted, the download links were unavailable.

    Slashdot is the world's most destructive Internet worm!

  7. Why...I Worked For One, Of Course! on SCO UnixWare 7.1.3 Review · · Score: 1
    Does anyone know of any organizations that actually use SCO Unix?

    I used to work for a credit union a couple of years ago that used SCO as a workstation to access removable optical disks used to archive data.

    That system was very clunky, and it wasn't just the specialized application that was to blame; SCO was just very hard to work with in regards to drivers, system configuration files, new hardware, etc. Linux/FreeBSD would have been far superior in that situation.

  8. My Ideal Present As A Nerd on Christmas Gifts for Geeks · · Score: 0
    What cool items are on your list this year...?

    1. A girlfriend
    2. More sunlight
    3. A new pocket calculator

  9. Re:Something to look forward to! on Spider-Man 2 Preview Online · · Score: 0
    I figured after Return of the King, that was it for my life, and I was ready to commit suicide.

    Yeah, like you would risk missing out on STAR WARS III - RETURN OF JAR-JAR BINKS!

  10. Freud Would Be Proud on Small Form Factor Comparison Matrix · · Score: 1, Funny
    Bringing a full size ATX tower to a LAN party just ins't that hard.

    Is it just me, or does anyone else see this big/small debate in terms of perceived penis size?

  11. Re:And then what? on In Search of the Digital Uberdevice · · Score: 0
    So they make a digital uberdevice that does everything. Then what do they sell next xmas?

    The new-and-improved uberdevice, of course!

  12. Re:Not so big on Archos Recorder + Rockbox Plays Video · · Score: 0
    Lots of things are used for purposes other than its original. DUCK TAPE ANYONE!

    Q-Tips (cotton swabs) is another one. Fun to 'root' around in your ear for ear wax, but not officially recommended.

  13. DUCK Tape on Archos Recorder + Rockbox Plays Video · · Score: 0

    No need to search and replace, because I think DUCK is a brand name for duct tape.

  14. Proposed New Theorem on Radio Credit Cards Move Closer · · Score: -1
    The efficiency of any payment process increases at the same rate as the efficiency of the criminal exploitation of the payment process.

    Also, the efficiency of any automated voting process increases at the same rate as the efficiency of the criminal exploitation of the automated voting process.

  15. Re:hmmm on San Francisco's Got Free Wi-Fi · · Score: 1, Funny
    Free as in WIFI?

    Free as in MP3.

  16. Re:Excluded? on GNOME Foundation Board Election Results · · Score: 3, Funny
    Just makes the Gnome Foundation seem like a joke if they leave the founding member out.

    Considering the high mortality rate associated with being part of GNOME, it's probably a good thing.

  17. Canadian Giggles on E-Voting: a Flawed Solution in Search of a Problem · · Score: 1
    The Canadians are watching our election problems and laughing their butts off.

    Of course they are, they're all high now!

  18. Re:Who? on For Us, The Living, by Robert A. Heinlein · · Score: 5, Funny
    Would somebody care to explain who Henlein is...

    1. Heinlein invented a maneuver that can save a person from choking.

    ...and why his book is on the front-page of slashdot.org?

    2. There is no new SCO news today.

  19. Ho-hum... on We Are All Nerds Now · · Score: 5, Funny
    We Are All Nerds Now

    Great...now no one will get laid.

  20. Spam on Virginia Arrests Man For Spamming · · Score: 2, Funny
    Virginia Attorney General Jerry Kilgore said Jeremy Jaynes had been arrested earlier Thursday in Raleigh, N.C., on four counts of using fraudulent means to transmit spam

    Kilgore was later heard to say, "I love the smell of spam in the morning!".

    Go away you fucking loser.

    Hey, cut the young ensign some slack...he had his fifteen minutes of fame, and that's more than you and I have had.

  22. Re:I want a microsoft voting machine on Electronic Voting in the News · · Score: 1
    "The candidate you are about to choose is not supported by us and may cause instablity in your state: Are you sure you want to continue?"

    How about "General Politician Fault"?

  23. In Other News... on Qwest Launches VoIP Trial · · Score: 2, Interesting
    "The future of voice communications will be based on the Internet, and Qwest is excited to lead the way for customers," said Richard Notebaert, Qwest's chairman and chief executive.

    In possibly related news, the Internet domain name "stopvoicespam.com" was registered today.

    This is a rerun. I saw this on Fox a couple of weeks ago.

  25. Re:Intelligent File on CRF Reveals Draft of New DRM Technology · · Score: 3, Funny
    Anyone else get the impression that "intelligent file" is newspeak for "dangerously executable"?

    I, for one, welcome our unbelievably large Internet worm overlords.
