  1. Re:RPM? on Seagate Releases 3TB External Drive for $250 · · Score: 1

    I thought LP was only 33.3 RPM?

  2. Re:Bigger isn't better. on Seagate Releases 3TB External Drive for $250 · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I'm sorry that you have a slow internet connection, but for the rest of us it's pretty easy to fill up three terabytes with photos, music and movies.

  3. NTFS? on Seagate Releases 3TB External Drive for $250 · · Score: 2, Funny

    Each drive includes an NTFS driver for Mac.

    We use HFS Plus, you insensitive clods!

  4. Re:FB == 40 minutes/day, Slashdot == ??? on Facebook Usage Hits 16 Billion Minutes a Day · · Score: 1

    Over 9000 minutes.

  5. Re:it swings both ways on Sen. Bond Disses Internet 'Kill Switch' Bill · · Score: 1

    Bill Gates: He said they go both ways.
    Ted Turner: Like a bisexual!
    Michael Eisner: Thank you, Ted, that was the joke.

  6. Weird title on Sen. Bond Disses Internet 'Kill Switch' Bill · · Score: 1, Funny

    Anyone else read that as "Sen. Bond Disses Internet 'Kill Bill' Switch"?

  7. Re:What is the point? on ICANN Approves .xxx Suffix For Porn Websites · · Score: 4, Funny

    So what you're saying is that getting screwed on the price is normal?

  8. Re:Not Running on Bionic Cat Gets World's First Implant Paws · · Score: 1

    He's a bionic cat. He's running extremely fast but they show us the video in slow-motion otherwise all we'd see is a black blur.

  9. Re:Not Bionic on Bionic Cat Gets World's First Implant Paws · · Score: 1

    There's none.

    This is a Biotape cat. Biological + duct tape.

  10. Re:I need saturday mail pickup on Amazon Opposes Plan To End Saturday Mail Delivery · · Score: 1

    Won't somebody think of the Newman!

  11. Microsoft supports H.264 on IE9 Preview Touts Cross Browser Compatibility · · Score: 1

    And that's a good thing. I'd rather see them support H.264 than WMV.

  12. Re:It's a phone on iPad Left Vulnerable After Record iPhone Patch Job · · Score: 1

    As long as there's only one, we'll manage.

  13. FIX SLASHDOT on Google Voice Opens To All · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Can the people in charge of Slashdot please fix the moderation system? It's been broken since yesterday. I have no idea how people are able to moderate.

    I also don't get any confirmation page when posting.

    It seems the Slashdot staff believes in this quote: "If it ain't broke, you're not trying." - Red Green

  14. Re:Better than the real thing on For-Profit, Illegal Movie Download Sites Threaten MPAA · · Score: 1

    If I pay 99 cents for a song:
    - It's legal
    - Profits go to the authors (not my fault if the labels are taking their profits away, they're the ones who signed the insane contracts)
    - I get the song in 256kbps in AAC (not the nearly two-decades-old MP3 format that 95% of people seem to keep on using or the WMA format that 3% of idiots insist on using)
    - I don't have to download the same song twenty times, hoping that one of them won't be crap (line-in recording, equalized, normalized, bad encoding, etc)

  15. Re:Would you guys stop messing with the godamn cod on 1000 Genomes Project Releases Pilot Genome Data · · Score: 1

    It seems to be broken for everyone with mod points: there's already 15+ comments and nothing has been modded yet.

  16. Re:Would you guys stop messing with the godamn cod on 1000 Genomes Project Releases Pilot Genome Data · · Score: 4, Informative

    I tried to mod you "funny", but the moderation system is indeed non-working. Also, after hitting "reply" I was sent to a new page with a messed-up "Reply to this" button, instead of simply having a comment textarea below your post on the same page.

    Someone's messing around with the live website.

  17. Re:PC market in the 70s was like that on Why Mobile Innovation Outpaces PC Innovation · · Score: 1

    There's only one way to reduce drag, that's to be aerodynamically efficient.

    You forgot the most obvious way: remove the air around the car.

  18. Re:Chip juggling on Why Mobile Innovation Outpaces PC Innovation · · Score: 1

    In a few years Apple won't be using the A4 anymore. I just wonder if it's going to be called Letter or Legal.

  19. Re:Unfortunately on iOS 4 Releases Today · · Score: 1

    I do understand that the new hardware has more RAM and a faster CPU and GPU, however some of the things that Apple and I could both really benefit from is for example the iBooks application. It would allow me to use my iPod touch as a portable PDF reader (great for datasheets) and it would allow publishers and writers to have a larger userbase of potential buyers.

    It's not like my iPod touch can't read PDFs because it works just fine either when clicking on a PDF in a website or as an email file attachment. Does the iBooks application really require 256 MiB of RAM?

  20. Re:YEAH! on Carbon Nanotube Batteries Pack More Punch · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How about potatoes?

  21. Re:Can't wait to see on iOS 4 Releases Today · · Score: 1

    Our last real freedom is Linux.

    Really? Because according to AHuxley, "Sony took the Linux away".

    We have nothing left.

  22. Re:Unfortunately on iOS 4 Releases Today · · Score: 1

    Business users are more likely to have an iPhone than an iPod touch, so your sales figures might not reflect the percentage of devices used by non-business users.

  23. Being wrong makes humans smart? on Why Being Wrong Makes Humans So Smart · · Score: 1

    My neighbour must be a fucking genius.

  24. Re:Puff piece on Potato-Powered Batteries Debut · · Score: 1

    But.... electrolytes are what plants crave!

  25. Re:Where is the DVD? on Made-For-Torrents Sci-Fi Drama "Pioneer One" Debuts · · Score: 1

    They want to geek out with .MKV files, fine.

    But as you said, also offer NTSC and PAL DVD versions as ISO files.
    And offering iPhone/iPod touch/iPad/iTunes compatible .M4V files wouldn't hurt either.
