  1. adblock whitelist that doesn't display ads on AdTrap Aims To Block All Internet Advertising In Hardware · · Score: 2

    It would be grand if there was an adblocker where you could whitelist sites _AND_ it still doesn't display the ads. I am fine with a select few sites seeing that I received their ads but they don't have to know that my browser isn't displaying them. The ads can go straight to /dev/null

  2. Re:Movie annoying on Hitchhikers Guide Movie Might Become a Trilogy · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure I'd entirely blame the actors. Why did someone who has done nothing but a 12 minute Documentary/Short: R.E.M.: Imitation of Life and the Blur video Coffee and TV direct this film? Could they not find someone more qualified/competent?

  3. bulls#it on Grand Theft Auto Led Teen to Kill · · Score: 1

    While being booked at the station, he allegedly grabbed a police officer's pistol and then shot its owner and two other officers in the head; all three died.

    Remember Police Quest 1? Somebody wasn't following procedeure and THAT'S who is to blame in this tragedy.

  4. Re:neat but.... on Escape from the Universe · · Score: 1

    Fry: So, there's an infinite number of parallel universes?
    Professor: No, just the two.
    Fry: Oh, well, I'm sure that's enough.

  5. great on 'Bourne' Director to take on Watchmen · · Score: 1

    The Bourne Identity was flawlessly directed as opposed to Supremacy which had far too many unsteady handheld shots replete with shambolic editing. This occurs so frequently that it quickly becomes the focus of the film. This is a shame because it could easily have been as good as the first film.

  6. War of the Coprohaghes on Robots to Rid Us of Cockroaches? · · Score: 1

    In this episode Mulder catches a cockroach only to discover it has a metal body. He has the cockroach examined by one Dr. Ivanov at the Massachusetts Institute of Robotics. Dr. Ivanov is truly amazed at the complexity of the robot and speculates that it could be a probe sent by aliens to explore the far reaches of space. They would be perfect, self-sufficient, powered by methane gas.

  7. Re:What is being alleged, here, exactly? on 2004 Election Weirdness Continues · · Score: 1

    You don't need Diebold or any other vendor to rig the election. Just close the Diebold tallying program, edit the database manually, restart the tally program and the results are different.

    This could be done directly at the machine--or even remotely with nobody the wiser.

  8. WinNT on PPC on If Windows Came to PPC, Would You Switch? · · Score: 1

    Ummmm, didn't that happen already? I could have sworn I had a PPC that came with Windows NT on it. It had those nifty dual 604e processors. Apparently, there wasn't enough interest the first time around...

  9. Re:Look, it's simple... on RIAA, MPAA Ask High Court To Review P2P Decision · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's the point. We don't want them to produce anything.

    I'm out of a high paying cush-y tech job and I want everybody to feel my pain. Muhahahaha! What? Some record exec can't feed his family? Guess what! Neither can I! See you at the food bank.

  10. Re:Rubbish on Instant Messaging Goes Graphical · · Score: 1

    If IM were voice chat, that would be worse than watching an Altman film.

  11. Re:And they wonder why on Stress Costs U.S. $300 Billion a Year · · Score: 1

    Inignot: On the moon, the weekend has advanced beyond your wildest dreams. Weekends now take up the entire week, and jobs have been phased out accordingly.

    Err: We get checks from the government. And we use them to buy beer!

  12. Firefox rock your mad world on Mozilla Usage Doubles in 9 Months · · Score: 1

    The non-tech-y website I work for has gotten 23.5% Firefox users so far this month and Safari is at 6.7%. I'd give you a link so you could judge for yourself but I don't want to be responsible for a slashdotting.

  13. Re:But is it split-speed? on Broadband Envy: Fixing American Broadband · · Score: 1

    I don't care how fast or slow down is but up is important to me.

  15. Re:Stuck at 30kb/s up on Hurricane Threatens Shuttle Program · · Score: 1

    Haha, this is what happens when you have 30 tabs open and haven't had any coffee yet. Yeah, too bad I can't delete this :/ Yeah. Way off topic.

    So, I guess we're talking about Hurricanes.

    The only thing I can think of is this:

    Ignignot: Just say here, and by here we mean "Here I am, rock you like a hurricane."

    Err: You do as the Scorpions have before you!

    Anyway, sorry folks.

  16. Re:But is it split-speed? on Broadband Envy: Fixing American Broadband · · Score: 1

    Really, because I only get 30kb/s up from Comcrap. Are you talking about more than their basic (dis)service or something?

  17. Stuck at 30kb/s up on Hurricane Threatens Shuttle Program · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Meatwad: Hey, you guys, did you say that it would be easy to get whatever I want, like faster upload speed, because that's what I really want.

    Inignot: Getting it is easy. Filling it with illegal substances and sending it across the border is not.

    Err: Yeah, see, those dogs, they can smell anything. So you gotta kick 'em in the throat.

    Meatwad: Well hey now, guys, look. I do not want to do anything illegal here... but I would kill somebody... in front of their own mama to get even 128kb/s upstream. And if anybody testifies against me, I'll gouge their eyes out.

  19. Re:Oh, come on! on Kevin Smith set for Clerks sequel · · Score: 1

    I know. They wanted Alan Rickman to basically play the same character as Die Hard. He said no and Smith went with Alec Baldwin.

  20. Re:mirror of binary on Does Shareware X-Chat for Windows Violate the GPL? · · Score: 1

    that's version 2.0.10c which is not the current version. check for http://www.silverex.org/

  21. Re:Oh, come on! on Kevin Smith set for Clerks sequel · · Score: 1

    Well, I remember before or about the time Mewes went into rehab Smith was concerned. He said at that time that he'd be willing to do another movie with the characters Jay and Silent Bob if that would help give Mewes some incentive.

    So, I don't think he's pulling a Lucas and doing it strictly for the money. Although it is nice to be paid.

    What would be better is this: Adult Swim should pick up the Clerks cartoon because that was one of the best things ever (even if they couldn't convince Alan Rickman to be the voice of Leonardo Leonardo) and make new episodes.

  25. Re:*raises hand* on The Linux Incompatibility List · · Score: 1

    I'd rather see hardware supported by closed source drivers than getting stuck with a $200 paperweight because I bought a camera, and THEN switched to linux.

    SFW? I've seen plenty of people that had to ditch all sorts of hardware; from fancy high-end audio cards to scanners just to upgrade to Windows XP.
