  1. Re:Slashdot DDOS on Surround Sound Quickies · · Score: 2

    Read the Slashdot FAQ
    They address your concerns there.

  2. Hemos on the brain and in the booth on Hemos The Iron Chef · · Score: 2

    It's good to seem Hemos back but:

    Am I the only one who went voting this year just couldn't help but instinctively look for "Hemos" as the last candidate? and am I the only one somewhat disturbed by that?

    Makes you wonder if the accusations that GIS is just another step in fostering a personality cult aren't somewhat true . . .

  3. Name change on Firewall On A PCI card · · Score: 2

    Companies do change their name sometimes.

  4. That's no mirror! on The Star Wars Trilogy Storyline -- In Legos · · Score: 5

    It's a space station!

  5. Re:I'm beta-testing it... on MS 'Whistler' Looks Solid To ZDNET · · Score: 2

    "I don't mean to sound like an ass, but that kinda is the point of a beta."

    Don't worry, sometimes when pointing out the obvious you just can't avoid it.

  6. At last, the unified news item... (#2) on Demos, Screenshots Of Cyan's Next Projects · · Score: 2

    No longer content to post the same story two times in a day, the editors decided this time to just post the duplicates together in one news item!

    Everyone is, of course, required to submit comments subtly different in appearance yet identical in content.

  7. Re:Myst Creators in Twin Cities on Demos, Screenshots Of Cyan's Next Projects · · Score: 2

    Sweet, thanks for the info.
    Living in the Twin Cities and not somewhere like SF I often just assume that cool technical events just do not occur here, apparently I'm wrong.

  8. Re:Funniest quote... on Reports Of Google's Demise Exaggerated · · Score: 2

    They really don't need to take the time to research it themselves.
    I could offer the results of years personal research I just happen to have been doing on the exact same subject in my spare time.

  9. This is not acceptable! on Reports Of Google's Demise Exaggerated · · Score: 4

    I think this needs to be checked into further. I would personally like to offer my services to Google to verify the accuracy of all possible searches regarding popular actresses, the word "nude", or related terms.

    Google if your listening, feel free to contact me, I can send a resume and get to work immediately. I can also send your a detailed report regarding several popular actresses and some research I've already began working on in my spare time.

  10. Re:love that illustration on Intel Employees Speak Out On Rambus Debacle · · Score: 2

    Brevity is indeed the soul of wit.

    I actually missed that graphic the first time I read that article, I think I was in banner ignore mode.

  11. Re:Some humor... on Politics With A Slice Of Lemon · · Score: 2

    It would appear to have been a hoax

  12. Re:Images of EB173: on New 'Planet' Discovered in Solar System · · Score: 2

    Thanks for the images.
    Not being much of an astronomer myself I can't help but look at them and say:
    "Oh, well there it is! How could they miss that hazy dot, surrounded by other more or less hazy dots." :-)

  13. Re:That's no moon... (Correction) on New 'Planet' Discovered in Solar System · · Score: 2

    I'm gonna be a nitpick here and note that your quote is incorect. Here's the lines from the script:

    BEN: That's no moon! It's a space station.

    HAN: It's too big to be a space station.

    LUKE: I have a very bad feeling about this.

    BEN: Yeah, I think your right. Full reverse! Chewie, lock in the auxiliary power.

    The pirateship shudders and the TIE fighter accelerates away toward the gargantuan battle station.

    LUKE: Why are we still moving towards it?

    HAN: We're caught in a tractor beam! It's pulling us in!

    LUKE: But there's gotta be something you can do!

    HAN: There's nothin' I can do about it, kid. I'm in full power. I'm going to have to shut down. But they're not going to get me without a fight!

    BEN: You can't win. But there are alternatives to fighting.

  23. 1-800-888-3999 option 7 /.ed on Broke into the old Quickies · · Score: 2

    If I recall correctly from calling a week or so ago.

    You receive a standard automated voice prompting you to chose one of 7 options. The comment for option 7 is:

    "If you would like to hear a duck quack, chose 7."

    If you chose 7 you'll hear someone play a duck call and then hang up.

    Let me just fix up your title a little here:

    RMS Challenges Us All to Think in HIS Moral Terms

    I think the reaction against him is somewhat related to his strong attitude on the issues. I don't agree with him, however I do find them interesting as well.
