  1. Re:and everyone is still using floppies : ) on Blu-Ray DVDs Hit 100 GB · · Score: 1

    Why not use Ultrium 3? 400/800G isn't too shabby, and it's available now.

  2. The only real innovation to come from this on Bill Gates: Cellphone will Beat iPod · · Score: 1

    is bitchin' hold music.

  3. Insight limited to the 2' radius around your chair on New IE7 Information Announced · · Score: 1
    as it is obvious that you don't do much website work. Believe me, for those of us who do, it will save a lot of redundant toil.

    And isn't this the point of competition anyways? Kudos to Firefox, and kudos to MS.

  4. Re:Sega and Wonderboy on For Love of The Game · · Score: 1
    Oh man, that sucks. Trust me, I can totally relate.

    I remember making a small box out of paper to cover that damned reset button. That way, I'd at least have some kind of visual cue to remind me to reach for the correct button.

  5. Why didn't you link to the actual article? on Game Informer Magazine's Massive Reader Base · · Score: 4, Informative

    Seems that it would make more sense to link directly here instead.

  6. Bah! on Government Finishes Internet Study -- 7 years late · · Score: 1

    I was hoping for George, and all I got was freakin' John.

  7. Re:My DirecTv TiVO has done this for years on TiVo Starts Testing "Pop-up" Ads · · Score: 1

    I know what you're talking about, and those are not the issue at hand. These are new ads that appear during fast-forwarding.

  8. I dunno. But I have another question. on Something to Sidetalk About · · Score: 1
    Why is "nigelthezebra" talking about himself in the third person in his own article submission?

    Some people are just desperate for pageviews, apparently.

  9. That's what CSS does. on CSS Support Could Be IE7's Weakest Link · · Score: 1

    It separates the content from the formatting. View source on a few pages, some formatted with tables and some with CSS, and see for yourself. (Hint: The website you're reading right now is a table formatted nightmare.)

  10. Yeah... on Old Film to DVD Transfers Examined · · Score: 1

    but at least it cost a lot of money.

  11. Tell me about it! on Dvorak on How Microsoft Can Kill Linux · · Score: 1

    I too work for a huge fruit, and we need to get away from Windows as well! I'm not sure what a Windows database is, but if we had one, we'd surely wanna convert that too!

  12. How does it feel on New Round of Lawsuits in Preparation for Oscars · · Score: 1

    to live your entire life so completely off-topic all of the time? I'd consider it a remarkable feat if it weren't so damned sad.

  13. Re:STOP WATCHING TV!! on Preparing for the Broadcast Flag? · · Score: 1
    That's pretty funny coming from someone who's been on /. as long as your ID would indicate.

    God forbid this place ever brainwashed anyone.

  14. Well... on Can TiVo be Saved? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    A good number of TiVo subscribers subscribe through DirecTV and their DirecTiVo feature. Cheaper monthy rate, dual tuners, etc. I know, because I am one of them.

    So, when DirecTV releases information like this about them releasing their own DVR later this year, TiVo proper stands to lose a lot of its market share. There was also the issue between TiVo and Comcast where TiVo pulled itself from a deal with the cable company. Lots of folks believe this was a bad move as well.

    The only good news on the DirecTV side is that DTV is currently rolling out a new software update for those who own the present DirecTiVo machines. What impact they feel this will have on the forthcoming DirecTV branded machines is uncertain. (i.e. Is this the first of a string of new updates to DirecTiVo... or is this the final nod to the collaboration?)

  15. Don't be so negative. on Has TiVo's Fate Been Sealed? · · Score: 1

    Instead, read the press release.

  16. If someone tries to take violence from *my* TV... on FCC Looks Into Regulating Violence on TV · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'll fuckin' cut 'em.

  17. All those space pics are doctored. on Colorization of Mars Images? · · Score: 1

    Like the Hubble pics that all the geeks love. They're gone over by artists before you ever see them.

    Why? The shots are too friggin' boring to stand by themselves. That, and Ted Turner runs NASA

  18. Adapt or Die is righthanded. on Left-Buttoned Arcade Joystick for PS2? · · Score: 1

    And does not play golf.

  19. I don't have any of those problems on A Look at the Upcoming GNOME 2.4 · · Score: 1

    Nautilus crashes way before it has a chance to annoy me in the ways you listed. Shame too, as I prefer Gnome to KDE.

    Looks like I'm stuck with Windowmaker until they get their shit together. I have my fingers crossed, but am not expecting miracles.

  20. That's why Dean on The "Techie" Vote? · · Score: 1

    is topping my list at the moment.

    He scares Lieberman. I like that.

    Can't say I'm much for 3rd parties this election. Dems normally win my state (MA) anyways, but this time I'm more worried about Bush holding office to vote 3rd party.

  21. Unfortunately... on The "Techie" Vote? · · Score: 1

    It's a lot easier to be reactive than proactive. The upside is, right now is a great time to start paying attention and seeing what ideas are coming out.

    In 2004, we all know we're going to have Bush and the incumbent Republicans vs. the Democratic candidate, but today there's still seven options for who that's going to be. Those who haven't been interested in politics are given a great opportunity to get in "on the ground floor" here.

  22. A good start... on The "Techie" Vote? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    But more importantly, techies need to be more aware of politics than they are as well. Politics are about more than just the RIAA.

    US slashdotters: Show of hands for everyone who saw the Democratic debate last night. Watch the upcoming forums, and be sure you register to vote.

  23. Wow on Ask the 'Geek Candidate' for California Governor · · Score: 0, Troll

    Even for a /. geek, you're an idiot.
