  2. Re:They should do away with 24-hour clock on One Step Away from Changing Daylight Savings Time · · Score: 1

    I'm assuming he meant 9 - 17.

    Heck, should we get rid of AM and PM while we are at it? That seems to just cause confusion as well.

  3. Re:Please note on Fold 'n' Drop Window Interaction · · Score: 1

    Wo what does each do? I took a few guesses. 1) Smoke & Joke - Overclocks CPU and brags about speeds automatically on message boards 2) Crumple & Toss - Zips a file and moves it to a random location on your hard drive. 3) Bind & Dump - Saves all things on screen and dumps them into an offline folder 4) Pinch & Splash - :O 5) Wipe & Flush - Quickly exits porn. 6) Twist & Shout - Chops and screws an MP3 at maximum volume. 7) Spin & Puke - Spins up CD Drive right before disc is ejected. The disc is still spinning while ejected. 8) Slap & Tickle - End User error usually resulting in "Wipe in Fulsh"

    Haha. I forgot about that techno song.

  6. Slow Speeds on Apple Easter Egg · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is it really right to submit a story to slashdot, just because you are getting slow speeds on a download?

  7. Gloud on Dark Matter Discovered · · Score: 3, Funny

    Google wants to know if you mean "gas cloud".

  8. Re:Which religion? on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    But not all Christians! Catholicism appears to be somewhat open, mainly saying that evolution was very possible and doesnt necessarilly conflict with Christianity. While looking for a website to back this up, I found this quote: "We now have proof that Roman Catholicism teaches Evolution rather than Biblical Creationism. When you add to this shocking teaching Rome's disrespect for the Bible, you understand that Roman Catholicism cannot be Christian as she claims". Sorry, I read this and it made me mad. If a Christian doesn't take everything in the Bible literally, that person is less Christian?

    Amen to that!

    Can we get another "Amen"? Anyone?

  14. Re:Language lengths on First Java AP Computer Science Exam Complete · · Score: 0

    I do not think the original poster was stating the number of years the C++ test was administered.

    Instead, he was referring to the veracity of the number of years.

  15. Re:home taping on Shifting From P2P To Stream Ripping · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Couldn't that same argument hold up today? Its all a matter of the ear. Afterall, internet radio stations don't broadcast(stream) at cd quality. Some people can easily tell the difference between lossy and uncompressed audio.

    Who is the person that will make the judgement on how lossy the recording has to be in order to be considered legal?

  17. Where else? on Better Business Bureau Targets Apple's G5 Ads · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hmmm... In the UK, TV regulators banned the ad. In the US, the Better Business Bureau could ban the ad. Apple should take their business to Russia. In Soviet Russia, the ad bans you.

  18. Re:make us pay for relgious value! thanks! on WTO Wants USA to Gamble Online · · Score: 1

    Appeal to Emotion. Fallacy. You lose the argument after one sentence.

    Although you are using simple debate tactics to discredit your opponent, that still doesnt mean it isn't bad. Who cares if its "state-sponsored murder" or "state-sponsored killing". The fact the original poster was trying to make is that it is still killing. Whether you think so or not is up to you. I can understand why people are pro-abortion but i just dont think I ever could be. Whether you believe it is life or not, I don't want to take the chacne that it is. No, I am not trying to push my religion on you. You could easilly debate whether abortion is killing or not without ever even bringing up religion.

    Less expensive? After I bought an older version of Photoshop, it eventaully paid for itself. Now, with this copy protection, I wont get my money back.

    Hmmm, 2004/01/04 seems to make the most sense to me. That way, all dates would be in a nice alphabetized format.

  23. Re:Better than the US on China Releases Cyber Dissident · · Score: 1

    I know. We have so many people in prison because they spoke against democracy. The reason we had to start using the death penalty is because all the prisons were full with these people.

    About time. Maybe Im just too used to freedom of speech, but it makes me mad when other countries but people in prison for saying anything even remotely against the government.
