  1. Re:Wow on The Scoop on the Xbox 360's Embedded OS? · · Score: 4, Funny

    According to the article, the XBox OS was Windows 2000 with 95% of it removed

    Where can I get a trial copy this Windows "lite" edition?

  2. my favourite mouse on Top Mice Compared · · Score: 1
  3. As a former Canadian freelancer on eBay sellers Told to Include GST · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I used to have to charge GST, but if I remember correctly, you only have to do that if your sales of goods or services exceed a certain amount per fiscal year...

    So unless you operate a so-called eBay store in Canada that sells goods to other Canadians, I don't think it would generally affect most people.

  4. Here here on Publishers Protest Google Library Project · · Score: 1

    I'm playing a public domain tune on the world's smallest violin...

  5. Re:Talk about doing it the hard way! on Home Made Star Wars Movie Injury · · Score: 2, Funny

    I cant wait to read the news about how Star Wars fanboys killed themselves with a Tesla Coil, trying to re-enact Palpatine's lightning bolts shooting from his hands.

  6. Re:I'm more concerned about censorship on Classic Cartoons Marred by Digital Restoration · · Score: 3, Funny

    I agree.

    On a related note, we should start a petition to keep the topless woman frame in The Rescuers.

  7. Next time on Virus Hold Computer Files 'Hostage' for $200 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Next time the police captures a virus writer, they should put him in a cell and tell him, we'll leave you here unless another virus writer pays us 200$.

  8. muahahah on Wormholes Unstable (BBC) · · Score: 1
  9. IIWAP on Physicists Uncover TV Show Biases · · Score: 3, Interesting

    (If I Was A Physicist)...

    I would find a more scientific subject to study, you know, that is actually related to physics.

  10. Re:Obligatory... on Star Wars Premier: The Line People · · Score: 2

    I had my own 15 minutes of fame here in Wichita, KS because of Star Wars and my Jedi costume:

    Me in the Newspaper

    It was fun being on every newscast. People I've never met before recognize me.


    yes, but did it score you a girlfriend?

  11. I, for one on Review: Star Wars Episode III · · Score: 4, Insightful

    didn't like it.

    I knew before going in, from what other people told me and from what I read online, that the acting was very bad, to the point of laughing during drama scenes, but I went to see it anyway just for the effects and the lightsaber battles.

    Generally speaking I found the lightsaber duels too cluttered, without much definition in each move sequence.

    A Darth Maul vs Qui-Gon Jinn style of fight choreography should have been used... IMO it's the best lightsaber duel of them all.

  12. Re:BitTorrent's fault? on MPAA Blames BitTorrent for Star Wars Distribution · · Score: 4, Interesting

    well, no sith sherlock! from the screencaps i've seen, the timecode was still in there.

  13. What's next... on Just a Phone? · · Score: 2, Funny

    A cellular morse communicator?

  14. Re:In other news... on Phantom Console May Never Materialize · · Score: 1

    Mathmeticians around the world discover that 2+2 is, in fact, 4

    Someone better hurry up and tell the Slashdot Art Department

  15. meanwhile back on EArth on Mars Orbiter Photographs another Mars Orbiter · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Google Map shows a snapshoot of... swamp gas? Weather balloon? UFO?

  16. Re:Wal-mart censorship on Wal-Mart Turns Over DVD Rentals to Netflix · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's not just WalMart that does this.

    Whenever I visit such a store, I always stop by the DVD movie department and ask "can you help me find the pr0n section?"

    And then I roll my eyes and look all frustrated when they tell me they don't sell anything in that category.

  17. I bought a product on Consumers Union Wants You to Share Your Story · · Score: 1

    with a suspicious movie endorsement

    Oh well, at least my lawn didn't turn into lava.

  18. What should be used to threaten Cdn spammers... on Canada Task Force Calls For Anti-Spam Law · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Taxes.

    Amend the Income Tax Act to tax revenues from spam in the insane range.

    Canada has incredible legislative talent at finding new taxes to impose on people, and it's about time they start using this power for the Forces of Good.

    Now if that happens and some spammer evades his taxes, it's off to a Federal PMITA prison.

    And no conjugal visits.

  19. Re:Grammar on CA's $1mn Open-Source Bounty Results · · Score: 1

    maybe Indian is a friend of Cuban?

  20. I am not a on Ebert Gives 'Sith' Positive Review · · Score: 1

    Heh. I actually wish I had gotten more time to play with it

    what games did it come with, though?

  23. Let the system break down on Selling Your Attention to Spammers · · Score: 1

    1) Once the system is broken, open the mass media valves and let it be known that it's the spammer's fault.

    2) Angry lynch mobs wielding torches and pitchforks will take care of the rest.

    3) Rebuild a spam-proof email infrastructure.

  24. Re:Upload, not download on Cuban Says RIAA Damages Should be $5 Per Month · · Score: 2, Interesting

    yea, you can play the CD on your boom-box in a public square, and hundreds of people can listen too it legally

    Not true.

    Just read the copyright notice inside any music CD, the part about "public performance".

  25. Look on the bright side on ISS Oxygen Generator Fails for Good · · Score: 0

    They'll never run out of slashdot comments about them
