  1. All this means is that...... on Microsoft Hands Over Docs To EU · · Score: 2, Insightful

    .... they have put off getting fined by the EU for a couple of months. It's a stall tactic plain and simple. Criminal defense lawyers do it all the time.

  2. Am I the only one who is impressed by..... on Wii Internet Connection Reverse Engineered · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ..... the fact that this doesn't look like some sort of custom solution that would be forever tied to the hardware. Instead it seems to be very "off the shelf" in nature from what I can see. I'm impressed that Nintendo would go that route. Many companies wouldn't.

  3. Good idea! on London Police Equipped With 360-Degree Cams · · Score: 1

    Now we can see something other than car chases on "World's Wildest Police Videos."

  4. Billy boy is either....... on Gamers Divorced From Reality? · · Score: 1

    ..... Quoting Jack Thompson or recycling the arguments that people made about D&D players. Either way, the best thing that we can do is to IGNORE HIM. Responding to it in any way shape or form (like here on /.) only gives his arguments credibility (or at least a few more minutes of airplay).

  5. Does that mean that..... on Yahoo! Goes To Print · · Score: 1

    .... Newspapers will come with a warning about peanuts?

  6. Has any thought been given to....... on Free Geek Robbed · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ..... Slashdot readers picking up the slack by donating PC's or donating money? I'm guessing that this organization could use the help.

  7. Re:Why is this controversial? on Behavior May Influence Evolution · · Score: 1

    It's controversial because someone had the audacity to says that these changes aren't due to some sort of "higher power" (God, Muhammad, whatever deity you happen to believe in). Therefore some right wing nutjob group will likely have a hissy fit over this.

  8. The RIAA..... on Does the RIAA Fear Counterclaims? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    .... Fears anything that will stop their monopolization of the music industry.

  9. When I saw the title of this memo.... on Yahoo! VP Calls For a Shakeup · · Score: 2, Funny

    ..... I thought it was another mod for Grand Theft Auto.

  10. Sadly... This article is true. on Nokia the Next Gizmondo? · · Score: 1

    Our workplace got a bunch of E62's and the users couldn't swap them for Blackberries fast enough. Nothing worked as advertised, was too complicated and slow. They're basically "bloatware" which is sad seeing that they had the lead in the phone market until recently.

  11. Extortion? You have no idea.... on Universal Music Sues MySpace · · Score: 4, Funny

    Here's how the phone call went....

    MySpace: Hello?

    Universal: MySpace? Nice website you have there. It would be a shame if anything happened to it.

    MySpace: What?

    Universal: You could make this "problem" go away if you gave us a "donation." Otherwise, something bad is going to happen. Capiche?

  12. The RIAA Has To Sue.... on RIAA Defendant Says Kazaa Settlement Bars Case · · Score: 5, Funny

    ..... Or the terrorists win.

  13. Accordign to Google..... on China Reinstates Wikipedia Ban · · Score: 4, Informative

    I don't know if I entirely believe it, but that's another story....

  14. For cellular companies..... on New Phone Uses GPS To Locate Your Contacts · · Score: 1

    .... The reason for this technology to exist comes down to three words:

    NEW REVENUE SOURCE

  15. I wonder how long it will take.... on New Phone Uses GPS To Locate Your Contacts · · Score: 1

    ..... for the first lawsuit regarding the misuse of this technology to be filed? Methinks seconds. Maybe minutes at the most.

    The upshot is that lawyers now have a new income source.

  16. Re:If Zune isn't compatible... on Zune Not Compatible With Windows Vista · · Score: 4, Informative

    From http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/winvista_beta2 _04.asp

    "Apple iTunes and QuickTime Pro 7.1
    Works: Yes (with problems)
    Notes: iTunes installs but behaves strangely. The desktop and Quick Launch toolbar icons for the application are blank and cannot be fixed. Performance is horrible, even more so that iTunes' usual problems. Both iTunes and QuickTime Pro are incompatible with the Windows Aero user interface; when they are running, Windows Vista reverts to the Windows Basic UI. (See below for more information.)"

  17. If Zune actually worked with Vista.... on Zune Not Compatible With Windows Vista · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    .... Then the terrorists will win.

  18. Microsoft has to release this info now..... on Halo 3 Multiplayer Demo Coming In Spring · · Score: 2, Funny

    .... Because if they don't, the terrorists win.

  19. If Blizzard Doen't Ban These Users.... on Linux Users Banned From World of Warcraft? · · Score: 4, Funny

    ..... Then the terrorists win.

  20. Of course he's a hero because..... on Linus Torvalds Officially a Hero · · Score: 1

    .... if he didn't give away LINUX, then the terrorists win.

  21. The server was shut down...... on U.S. Publishes Guide To Building Atom Bombs To Web · · Score: 1

    .... When the North Koreans Slashdotted it. I guess they need the help.

  22. Three words to stop stuff like this from happening on More Voting Shenanigans in Florida · · Score: 1

    .....Third Party Verification

  23. I guess it means.... on HP Acquires VoodooPC · · Score: 1

    That they are pwned.

  24. Just a thought..... on GPS Phone Tells Others Where You Are · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...... But what about the privacy issues that would surround this cell phone? Who would get access to this data? Under what circumstances? Can some law enforcement agency use the GPS data to prove that you did something illegal for example?

  25. Could it have something to do with.... on North Korea Returns To The Table · · Score: 2, Interesting

    .... The fact that they kind of need food?
