  1. Re:How many of these games run on Linux ? on 2005 Independent Game of the Year Awards · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    As soon as linux becomes a user friendly OS and normal people can actually use it

  2. Rogers let the meter run... on Cell Phone CEOs Marked For Phone Cloning · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In all honesty...How the hell could Rogers miss out on $12,000 worth of phone calls. I'm fairly certain that in their entire customer database only a few customers could actually produce this kind of traffic. If Rogers thinks a judge will let them bilk one woman for making $12,000 worth of phone calls I think common sense will kick in.

  3. Re:50,000 years?? on Send your name to Pluto · · Score: 1

    No, I was commenting on the list of names...Its like writing your name on the side of a bomb...useless.

  4. Re:50,000 years?? on Send your name to Pluto · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The data that will be retrieved from the probe will more then likely be useless. If they are planning on this thing communicating back to NASA on regular intervals, then that is a different story. But for them to beleive that anyone on earth in 50,000 years will know how to get the data off is pretty naive. Its been less then 40 years and already 5" 1/4 discs are useless and hard to come by.

  5. Re:Still $300 on Xbox 360 for $300 · · Score: 1

    Its a big deal because 6 bucks (can) a month is ludicris.

  6. Re:In other news... on PC Keyboard Connected to PSP · · Score: 1

    Your a goddamn retard...and so are the people who modded it.

  7. Re:Pretty, but... why? on Homebuilt 19" Mini-ITX Server Rack · · Score: 1

    What kind of person has the resources to get a real server for home use? Why would he spend thousands of dollars on SCSI or fibre channel.

    A "real" server with 4tb is going to cost quite a bit.

    This is obviously just a hobby for him, and the server is problably not nasa quality mission critical. Why spend more money then you have to?

    You must work for a government agency to justify this kind of spending.

  8. Re:I like my WRAP on IPv6 for the Linksys WRT54G · · Score: 1

    Actually you can have two serial ports on the wrt54g, and an SD card slot if you want.

  9. wtf on Feds Shut Down Elite Torrents · · Score: 1

    Its a good thing they are using MS Word to edit the webpage, that makes it look real professional.

  10. Re:Consider immigration to the north... on Canadian Music Swappers Win Court Battle · · Score: 1
  11. Re:Consider immigration to the north... on Canadian Music Swappers Win Court Battle · · Score: 1

    Actually there are states in the US that already have it "decriminalized". And Canada is a long way from having it decriminalized.

  12. Re:Legally sound ruling on Judge: Schools Don't Have to Help Music Industry · · Score: 1

    They coulda fooled me....

  13. Re:Schoolboys? on Web Site Attacks Are On The Rise · · Score: 1

    Guess i should have used preview...political*

  14. Schoolboys? on Web Site Attacks Are On The Rise · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I think that comment is a little misleading...How many 15-16yr olds do you know with a policatal opinion like being called schoolboys?

  15. Re:Uploading is still Illegal.... on Canadian ISP to Name Music Swappers · · Score: 1

    I am under the impression uploading is illegal and sharing is not, until a final ruling is made, i'm actually not sure what to beleive.

    An open wifi point is your own responsibility, take due diligence to secure it.

    Off Topic - Since it is your car, you will be a prime suspect, police may get a warrant based on this evidence, and thus your house will be searched. So that isn't a very good example.

  16. Uploading is still Illegal.... on Canadian ISP to Name Music Swappers · · Score: 1

    Videotron is releasing the names of major uploaders...as uploading is still illegal. If they were releasing the names of downloaders it would be a different story, as downloading is "legal" in Canada because of the levy.

  17. Re:Chaos Theory not for the unfamiliar on Review: Splinter Cell - Chaos Theory · · Score: 0

    I thought the controls were fairly easy after glancing at the control screen. The only good way of learning a games controls is by trial and error anyways.
    X - Pull out the gun
    Y - Jump or Special action
    A - Interact (Open doors, Turn off lights, Grab a guard)
    B - Crouch/Uncrouch
    White - Switch Gun , Black - Whistle
    Triggers - Either Stun or Kill Guard without gun drawn, or Shoot and use secondary.

  18. Re:Why is everyone so impressed with Google Maps? on Satellite Easter Eggs · · Score: 1

    In case you didnt know... there are other countries on earth, and not everyone likes the USA enough to live there.

  19. Yes they have... on Google Search By Number · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Well, Google has done it again"

    Yes, they managed to get on slashdot for something really, really old.

  20. Re:Well on MP3 Market Approaching Critical Mass · · Score: 1

    Perhaps they don't want to compete with the accessories on the market. An FM transmitter from apple would problably cost over $50. Why by the apple name branded one, when you can get a belkin one for $30...and its white too..

  21. three words... on Aggressive Network Self-Defense · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Wax on.....Wax Off

  22. Pfft on Optical Computer Made From Frozen Light · · Score: 1

    Pffft....Just use a flux capacitor.

  23. Re:It's Alacritech, isn't it? on Start-up Granted Injunction Against Microsoft · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Or pepto bismol

  24. Re:What I'd like to know is... on RIAA Cracks Down on Internet2 File Sharing · · Score: 1

    Well they have their fingers in everyones business, so i doubt it was very hard for them. A quick phone call to a university president is all it takes.

  25. umm.. on New York Computerizes its Subway System · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure you have a better chance getting your ass kicked on the subway, then a cracker hacking the system and the train crashing...
