  1. How long... on Sun Opens OpenSolaris.Org · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ...until SCO sues Sun?

  2. One in Four?? No way on Napster to Offer Movie Downloads · · Score: 1

    - one in four people online have now downloaded a film, the MPAA says The MPAA lies so bad. There is no way that one in every four people online have downloaded a film. One in four is an insane amount of people. One in four slashdotters, sure, one in four of everyone...no way.

  3. What does this really mean? on In Depth Reactions to EA / ESPN Deal · · Score: 1

    I don't really play sports games but I'm wondering what this really means for EA? Does this mean only they can put ESPN logos in their games? What benefit does that give the gamer? I don't really get it. This doesn't mean only they can use NFL player names and stats so why would someone really care?

  4. Felony copyright infringement? on P2P Operators Plead Guilty · · Score: 1

    I though copyright infringement was a civil offense?...or is there such thing as a felony civil offense?

  5. No wonder on No More Players for World of Warcraft - For Now · · Score: 1

    I've been looking at local Best Buys here in San Diego for the last couple of weeks and none of them have had it. I haven't searched other stores though because I felt it was good not to be spending the money at the moment =)

  6. Re:Slashdot Writers' Learn Punctuation on Spammers' Upend DNS · · Score: 1

    It appears that your punctuation also has room for improvement as the apostrophe in "Slashdot Writers' Learn Punctuation" does not make sense.

  7. hmm on Getting Broadband To The Bayou · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Since when do corporations have any say what a city can do with its land?

  8. Re:huh on TiVo Moves to Bypass Cable · · Score: 1

    My parents just got a new Sony tv that accepts a CableCard directly into it so you don't need a separate box. I called their cable provider (Comcast) and asked if they offered them. They said yes but currently there is a shortage at the moment so they put us on the waiting list. So as far as I know, they are currently offered but they just don't have enough at the moment to give out.

  9. Site is dead on Gingerbread Computers! · · Score: 1

    Looks like someone already ate it!

  10. Internet access. on Boeing Eyes In-Flight Live TV on Your Laptop · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'd much rather have internet access on my laptop while I fly instead of 4 crappy tv channels.

  11. Re:Is $US52 per square metre about right? on Pliable Solar Cells on a Roll · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think you 1.33 US dollars to 1 euro.

  12. Re:Too rare to care about? on More Exploding Cellphones In The News · · Score: 1

    My ex-girlfriend had two Firestone Wilderness AT tires blow out on her on 2 separate occasions. That happened way more than it was reported. The media only talked about the times when people died. In warm climate areas like Florida, those tires were popping like crazy.

  13. If anyone was wondering... on Amazon Japan Offers Barcode Purchases via Camera Phone · · Score: 1

    This is the company that has been developing this: Neomedia

  14. Re:CNN changes exit polls numbers after the fact!! on Schneier On Electronic Voting · · Score: 0

    I don't really understand how polling several thousand people after they vote can really be a good prediction of how the rest of the 120 million people are going to vote. No one polled me after I voted and I live in Florida so this whole exit poll thing seemed like a joke to me.

  15. penguins...? on Build Your Own Solar-Powered Scooter · · Score: 4, Funny

    why are there linux penguins on an msn page?

  16. LOSE NOT LOOSE!!!!! on MPAA Sues DVD Chip Manufacturers · · Score: 1

    The suits are the latest legal action by the Motion Picture Association of America, which claims its members loose billions of dollars annually to copyright piracy. How does one who can't even spell write for Yahoo!?

  17. ugliness on Get Rid of Internet Explorer - Browse Happy! · · Score: 1

    Apparently you have to be ugly to stop using IE. I guess I'm ugly :(

  18. less people = higher pay? on InfoWorld 2004 Salary Survey Results · · Score: 1

    I suspect that since a lot of companies had either layoffs or less hirings, there are less people for them to pay. Therefore, those who they kept can get a little extra money cause there is less waste on the less talented group of people.

  19. Re:Nothing left for Modders on New PowerMac G5s: Up to 2.5Ghz, Liquid Cooled · · Score: 1

    Have you ever seen those see thru dishwashers in Best Buy or Sears that are used for demos? i always wanted one of those...maybe doing the dishes could actually be fun.

  20. Re:I really wish they did. on Recording Industry Hopes To Hinder CD Burning · · Score: 1

    that's probably why DEC is currently a dinosaur...

  21. Re:Sub-$10 range on Recording Industry Hopes To Hinder CD Burning · · Score: 1

    Those prices do seem out of whack but you have to understand that when a movie goes to DVD, it is most likely already in the profit range. Movies are paid for at the box office. This is why DVDs can be the same price or even less than their soundtracks.

  22. So what on ClearChannel Complains About XM, Sirius Radio · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Radio sucks and always will.

  23. HP keyboards on Insider's Look at High-Tech High-Speed Navy Vessel · · Score: 1

    and UNIX-ish desktops are visible, those look like HP keyboards to me.

  24. Re:Is it really legal? on RIAA Threatens 15-Year-Old · · Score: 1

    What if she had no parents?

  25. Defense on Traveling Jobs in IT? · · Score: 1

    Try applying to defense contractors. I graduated a year ago and have been working for one since. I've been to Europe twice already and may have the chance to go to some other places too...I think hawaii may be on the list...since you will have a customer that is based all over the world, you'll most likely be involved in a project that requires on-site support...but like some of the other people have said, living out of a hotel room for weeks at a time is not exactly the best life.

    A lot of companies like to send the young guys cause they have no "baggage" back at home (i.e. kids or wife).
