    Yet another verbing of an innocent noun.

  4. Needs to examine himself on Ted Turner's Beef With Big Media · · Score: 1

    Apparently Ted Turner has failed to realize that he is Big Media. AOL Time Warner is the biggest conglomerate of them all.

  5. Security?? on Casio's Credit Card Watch · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Are the watches protected from simply scanning everyones as they walk past and collecting thousands of credit card numbers? Or someone could set up a series of stations throughout a mall that charge small innocuous looking charges to cars from "shell" corporations and do like they did in Office Space.

  6. Re:So who will be the first? on Microsoft's Magical 'Myth-Busting' Tour · · Score: 2, Interesting

    And what would you do if Microsoft set up a booth outside a Linux conference?

  7. Re:I live without Windows on What Keeps You Off of Windows? · · Score: 1

    Ah, you see illegal trade practices as moral. Now I get it. Or he could not agree that their trade practices were illegal. OJ was innocent even though 70-some percent of the country thinks he's guilty.

  8. Re:Ads on Slashdot -- they do cront the ads on Linux Today Founder Calls for Boycott of Linux Today · · Score: 1

    It would appear that the person on the most recent cover has a flashlight shining out the top of his pants.

  9. This is news? on Japanese Digital TV Viewers Complain About DRM Restrictions · · Score: 1, Insightful

    People were suprised that they complained? Did anyone expect them not to?

  10. Re:Does it really have a chance? on Boucher's DMCRA To Get A Hearing On May 12 · · Score: 5, Informative

    The full text says that people now could break DRM for non-infringment uses.

  11. Does it really have a chance? on Boucher's DMCRA To Get A Hearing On May 12 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I personally think that the Congressmen would not wish to consider themselves so wrong on this; however, if the DMCA has an expiration date on it (like some legislation), there might be a chance of letting it lapse. Also, I think it far more likely that things such as signal flags and other copy protection devices have more support on the Hill.

  12. Why not go all out? on iPod Mini Custom Installation In A Ford Explorer · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you're going to do something this fancy, why hamstring yourself with the 4GB mini?

  13. Re:oh good f'ing god. on Gates Comdex Keynote Shows Plans, Matrix Spoof · · Score: 1

    it was only a series of small sometimes blurry pictures, no video so you didnt miss much

  14. this is getting old on Microsoft Defies EU Commission · · Score: 1

    companies realizing they are doing poorly and blaming microsoft is really tiresome, sun does it with java, netscape does it with browsers, just make a better product and people will change. what alternative do you suggest to windows media player? real player is absolutely awful. and i dislike quick time's lack of features.

  15. Closed Source? on E-Voting Glitch: 19,000 Voters, 144,000 Votes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'd trust closed-source voting before I'd trust open-source where a potential exploiter can easliy scan the code finding and exploiting bugs. Though I don't see how it can be so hard to design a secure voting system. You wouldn't want it to run on anything more than the most basic kernel though, so the best idea is probably to use a simple proprietary OS. And you could architect the thing so that it only runs some sort of registered instructions. Also, the whole thing would have to be closed-circuit obviously.

  16. So that's why... on MSN Planning to Take on Google? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I was wondering why the survey i took on microsoft.com the other day (because i approve of them for the most part unlike most of you) kept asking questions like, "How often do you use Google to search microsoft.com" and "Which Search Engines do you use most often." I would have to say though that microsoft acquiring google could probably not improve google any I appologize if this has already been said, i was not willing to read 500 posts to check.
