  1. MOD UP! Everyone should see this video (2nd link) on President Bush Flip-flopping on Gay Rights Issue? · · Score: 1

    n/t

  2. "come Scandinavian countries"? on President Bush Flip-flopping on Gay Rights Issue? · · Score: 1

    Fraudulent slip?

  3. What about adopted children? on President Bush Flip-flopping on Gay Rights Issue? · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't the same type of provisions be pertinent?

  4. From the MySQL site... on MySQL AB Calls v4.1.7 Production Ready · · Score: 1

    The official way to pronounce ``MySQL'' is ``My Ess Que Ell'' (not ``my sequel''), but we don't mind if you pronounce it as ``my sequel'' or in some other localized way.

  5. Re:From the terms of service on Verizon Taking FTTP Installation Orders · · Score: 1

    It does say, "From the terms of service" in the subject.

  6. I mesread that on Macs Do Star Wars Dirty Work · · Score: 1

    Nevermind.

  7. Everyone knows Geico sells auto insurance... on G4 Tech TV Reviews Three New HDTV DVRs · · Score: 1

    that's not their only goal. They want you to hear about it over, and over, and over again, until you associate the type of product with their company alone.

  8. Light sabers were a trivial distraction from on Macs Do Star Wars Dirty Work · · Score: 1

    the true nature of this love story, as evidenced by later incarnations.

  9. Astronaut Ramen! on Green Plants for Mars Mission · · Score: 1

    Just like regular Ramen, but it costs 10x as much.

  10. If Macs worked so well at the time... on Macs Do Star Wars Dirty Work · · Score: 0

    they wouldn't have needed to switch to SGI at all, would they? So saying, "they tried to use Macs, but they weren't up to the task" wouldn't be that great of an endorsement anyway, would it?

  11. I'm sure they left the film lying in the gutter. on Macs Do Star Wars Dirty Work · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm sure they had to handle the originals for duplication and remastering along the way, I'm pretty sure they would have thought to take precautions handling the film. They're not stupid.

  12. That would make more sense... on Firefox Seeks Full Page Ad in New York Times · · Score: 1

    Although I'm used to seing that as OSS or F/OSS instead of OS.

  13. Re:you know what... on Firefox Seeks Full Page Ad in New York Times · · Score: 1
    and all this ego shit doesn't do ANY good for the OS community

    Yeah, because Firefox is such a lousy OS. What the hell are you talking about again?
  14. If that's true. on Toshiba To Offer Laptops With HD-DVD in 2005 · · Score: 1

    I don't think we have any evidence that any of the conditions the parent listed were true, as the poster said "I don't know which of these apply".

  15. That's funny, I don't see BSD mentioned anywhere.. on The State of the Demon Address · · Score: 2, Informative

    http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph/?host=www.osvi ews.com Apple's modified version is not the responsibility of the original BSD developers.

  16. How else can you play poker online on A Dual Monitor Experiment · · Score: 1

    while watching the World Series of Poker on my other monitor? What do you mean, not productive?

  17. Effective CO2 converters on Unexplained Leap In CO2 Levels · · Score: 1

    Has any research been done regarding which plants are the best CO2 converters, and would increasing their numbers help at all?

  18. Re:Great, cater to the lowest common denominator.. on A Wi-Fi/VoIP Phone Booth In the Burning Man Desert · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I might have overreacted. I read that as, "there's picturs of naked people, that ought to test my server", it sounded like they were just trying to get more hits on their site. Unfortunately the link wasn't working when I checked it.

    With the seeming increase of jerks at the event lately, I guess I got a little knee-jerk.

  19. Great, cater to the lowest common denominator... on A Wi-Fi/VoIP Phone Booth In the Burning Man Desert · · Score: 0, Troll

    Ooh, NAKED PEOPLE! Oh my god, it's so unusual, and taboo, and stuff. Let's all put our pants around our ankles and start drooling like idiots. Thanks for reinforcing the antithesis of Burning Man's ideals of freedom, and making it look like some kind of a live porn show. People like you are why idiots show up, inappropriately photograph, grope, and rape innocent ladies at the event. Someone's nudity does not automatically indicate any sexual context, contrary to what the small head in your pants might tell simpletons like yourself.

    Couldn't you showcase the technology, and then shut your fucking hole?

    Dick.

  20. Wow, you're so smart on Aural Heaven -- iPod And Analog · · Score: 1

    I guess the hundreds of new releases each week available ONLY on vinyl are just a figment of my imagination. Have you ever heard of electronic music? You know, House, Techno, Drum 'n Bass, Hardcore, Downtempo, Hardstyle, Speed Garage, etc? There's a reason it's only available on vinyl... for one thing there is no way to manipulate, mix, and perform various turntablism techniques with CDs (the new Technics CD decks come close, but...). Second, CDs just don't sound as good over a 50,000 watt sound system. The inadequacies of CDs are amplified, especially with genres of music where the lead instrument or synth is often in the bass range, or can transition all the way through the audible spectrum. And don't give me that, "records sound all scratchy and poppy", because that's bull. I have records that I've owned for 6 years, that I've played hundreds of times, and even played them in the middle of the desert. A very modest investment in effort to keep your records clean pays off well. You never even need to wash them if you make sure to always put them back in their sleeves and store them properly.

  21. Vinyl sounds noticeably better than CDs, and on Aural Heaven -- iPod And Analog · · Score: 3, Interesting

    ESPECIALLY better than any compressed audio format. Just because you listen to everything through a crappy system instead of good studio monitors doesn't mean there isn't a difference.

  22. It's a step, and it had to happen on Samsung Introduces Phone With Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    I'm holding out on buying a portable hard drive MP3 player or a PDA until they're all combined together with a phone and a camera, and include a good sized hard drive. This is the next logical step, and more affordable and practical units are now closer than ever.

  23. That's ridiculous. on Insurance Companies Try Out Auto Black Boxes · · Score: 1

    Not everyone can afford two cars, or even have a place to store them. Racing your street car on a racetrack is a completely legal hobby. The last thing we need is a more elitist world, where our policies dictate that only the most wealthy can participate in an activity that would otherwise be accessible to a wider crossection of the population.

  24. "DIE SLASHDOTTERS" just came across SearchSpy on The Search Engine Belt Buckle · · Score: 1

    comedy!
