  2. The irony on Yankee Group Survey Says Windows, Linux TCO Equal · · Score: 0

    Did anyone else find it wierd to see Microsost referred to as a "private, unselfish company"?

  4. Re:Ocean? on Hubble Verdict: De-Orbit · · Score: 0

    With such an expensive peice of equipment... It'd be worth it to see outcome if we shot the hubble to orbit around planets deeper in our solar system, so we can get closer planetary views of planets like neptune and pluto..

  5. Re:Zeta OS on BeOS Ready for a Comeback as Zeta OS · · Score: 0

    What does Novices have to do with whether it's name Be or Zeta?

  6. My opinion on Online Business Model for a Band? · · Score: -1

    Let me apologise ahead of time if I don't make sense, I'm bad at comments, but I have a beleif on this subject. I personally have no problem with the sharing of online music.. In my opinion, I would offer the technically oriented a torrent of the album.. Because if people want music that bad, it's very hard to stop them from getting it. I think a good business plan for a band making money would be something like a club, or other kind of subscription service (a la Linkin Park Underground. A club could offer merchandise for fans, and a preview of music to come, along with special songs which may not be released on normal albums. My idea: If your music is so damn good, why not let people download all your songs to hear, full and complete, and if it's that good, and they love you, they can go off and buy the album, t-shirts, and other goodies...

  7. Hardware on Nintendo's Lawsuits Aided by Fans · · Score: -1, Troll

    How is this not surprising? The flaw of console systems -- You not being able to modifiy them to suit your needs?

    As for pirating software -- I guess it's Nintendo's first time to take a crack at something like that -- but for what, nintendo's grip on the game market isn't as strong as it was 10 years ago anyway -- They should pay more attention to there next console and how it compares to the upcoming system (ps3) as opposed to people pirating games/hardware.

  8. Sounds familiar on Hip-e All-In-One PC · · Score: 0

    It was only a few weeks ago I saw a poster of this system in my school lunch room.. First thing I saw was just a ploy -- And it was only confirmed by - The design (it makes it look almost like a toy) - Marketing (highschools) - Marketing II (trying to get kids to beg there parents for this computer for "educational" purposes, they even have a list that kids can give to there mommy's and why they should get it. http://hip-e.com/jsp/hip-e_website_parentpage.pdf People make me sick to my stomach -- If anyone has ever read anything on the psychology behind marketing .. Actually, Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser would be a pretty cool read on marketing particular. All in all for the computer's components, I'de see the mark up higher than apple would put it... Apple brings up (mostly) there own stuff, this is just a different enclosure with a price tag.

  9. VoIP telemarketers on VoIP Price War Declared · · Score: 0

    *beep beep* Telemarketer: Hello I am a representative from Voxilla, and this is? John: Who the... Telemarketer: We can offer you extreme savings from your current VoIP service! John: How'd you get my... Telemarketer: IP's are just numbers, I had no information what so ever that your service providor is Vonage. John: How the hell did you find that out -- Connection Drops --

  10. Expansion set on Red vs Blue Meets The Sims · · Score: 0

    And don't forget to by The Sims 2: TV Families, including the characters and apartment layouts from your favorite sitcoms such as: - The Simpsons - Family Guy - Frasier - That 70's show - Law and Order - Law and Order SVU and my favorite - Law and Order: Criminal Intent

  11. For the current shell users on Mozilla/Firefox Bug Allows Arbitrary Program Execution · · Score: 0

    What happens to the people who use the shell: feature? shell.com?

  12. Yep on Atlantis: Discovered at Last? · · Score: 0

    Another month, another theory of the supposable location of atlantis, if there ever was. Well, I have a question, if we discovered atlantis, could the people of slashdot move into it as a geek kingdom :D That'd be so awesome.

  13. The real question. on Is Caps Lock Dead? · · Score: 0

    Well, does it's purpose suit it's position next to the biggies, such as the "a" key, tab, and shift? I think not. Perhaps we can actually remove caps, move tab down, and move esc next to 1. There, case closed.

  14. I think it's logical on 60GB iPod Coming? · · Score: 0

    That at least a few are made although it may not be the most successful release of the ipod. Many people download mp3's on an album basis, and this can take allllot of space. But a decent collection of MP3's in my mind can exceed far over 50 gigabytes... But then, that's just the way I'm going.

  15. Ahh yes. on Military Develops Liquid Body Armor · · Score: 0

    Heh, well just incase you were wondering what new additions were coming in unreal 2005 ;D

    So tux racer will have more of a highway-feeling to it? :O If not, how does this affect me?

  17. Re:Damn you!!! on Linux Based HD DDR used on Starship Troopers 2 · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    I really don't see anything good about starship troopers. I don't see the purpose of this movie, nor the fact that you posted stuff that will give a worse(r) reputation for our beloved Linux Operating System.

    Notice the spectrum life:

    ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
    Linux---Caffeiene---------------Starship troopers


    Notice how starship troopers doesn't seem to be actually in the spectrum. Coincidence? I think not.
