  1. oh man.. on Digital TV Transmitter Using a VGA card · · Score: 2, Funny

    The slashdot effect + a nudie photo. Say goodbye to that server.

  2. price on 1.4mm Thick Gigabit Ethernet Cable · · Score: 1

    Their site lists the cable shown in the window picture at 2,520 yen, or $24 USD. That's a bit much for such a short piece of cable. Maybe the price will go down in the future, or maybe they are the Japanese version of Monster Cable (a huge rip-off)

  3. Re:Just hardware, no apple OS. on Torvalds Switches to a Mac · · Score: 1

    The only thing keeping a large number of us from running linux full time is the lack of a real alternative to Adobe software. Sure you can mess around with WINE or Crossover Office until you get Photoshop to run semi-okay, but why put up with that when we can dual boot?

  4. Hmm... on Richard Clarke on Microsoft security · · Score: 4, Funny

    Gates might have a little trouble calling this guy a communist.

  5. Re:Eat Or Be Eaten on EA in Takeover Talks with Ubisoft · · Score: 1

    Even if your theory is true, forming your own monopoly is still not a respectable way to combat other monopolies.

  6. imo: absolutely not on Are nVidia's SLI Cards Worth the Investment? · · Score: 2, Informative

    just a few better things you could do with all that money:

    -make a donation to a worthy charity/non-profit
    -save/invest if for the future
    -treat your s.o. to something nice
    -go on a trip
    -put it in your kid's college fund
    -build a robot

  7. Re:Biodiversity on Open-Source Technique for GM Crops · · Score: 1

    Your arguement doesnt work. Treating yourself with medicine affects you and only you. You are not genetically engineering your children to be immune to disease, or injecting the entire population in your area with the medicine you think they need. There is the difference.

  8. Biodiversity on Open-Source Technique for GM Crops · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Does biodiversity mean a thing to any of you? Having one strain of GM corn dominate all of an an area's crops might be awesome when it comes to raising productivity levels and immunity to pesticides, but when an unforseen disease starts to affect the plants (which can happen a lot) they would be completely wiped out, because they are all the same. Nature does it better, lets not fuck around with it.

    Introducing GM plants to an area can be compared to introducing alien species to a place where they do not belong. There is no possible way to forsee all the negative impacts that could arise. Check out all the problems Australia has with feral animals, for instance. here

  9. Re:What about.... on Where Have All The Cycles Gone? · · Score: 1

    your main arguement was correct, but Halo PC was HORRIBLY optimized. It ran like shit on many very powerful systems.

  10. sounds dangerous on Making a Color LCD Dashboard Replacement? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I suggest getting a Toyota Prius if you want to drive a space ship. Check this picture out.

  11. Its not free on Amazon Offers 2-Day Shipping For $79/Year · · Score: 0

    you are paying $79 to join...

  12. Mirrors on 3D Sphere Interface for XP · · Score: 0, Redundant

    This is getting rediculous. Posters should now be required to setup a mirror before they link to these small websites. At least use coral or mirrordot or something, thats what they are there for.

  13. Re:No more than five minutes? on Why Apple Makes a One-Button Mouse · · Score: 1

    Your mousing hand has 5 fingers on it, unless you have some sort of disability. So why should software/hardware have to be designed for those of us with stumps instead of hands, when it can easily, (and with less menus) utilize the rest of a user's fingers? The "cant tell the difference between the buttons" arguement carries no weight. These are the people who mistake their accelerator for the brake when driving. I would really love to see one of them attempt to use an elevator.

  14. Re:MPEG4 with AAC audio on Video Formats for non-Windows Users? · · Score: 1

    wedding videos eh? link plz ^_^

  15. Who cares? on Cleansing Hardware Of Dead Pig Odors? · · Score: 1

    Okay, so you murder hundreds of animals a day and now youre sad because you cant get the stench of death off your PC? Go fuck yourself.

  16. Re:This has been done a long time ago... on FourHead: One PC, Four Users · · Score: 1

    which would take care of everyone in a 50 mile radius who knows what XGGI is.

  17. not again on Does A Pentium 4 Need A Weapons License? · · Score: 1

    ugh. so they are jingoists, and ignorant/retarded. the sad part is that this is not news. Im just suprised they can keep coming up with so many new, insanely stupid ideas.
