  1. Neither the EU Nor the USA control the Internet... on EU Claims Internet Could Fall Apart Next Month · · Score: 1

    .... After all, that's Elliot Spitzer role isn't it?

  2. Fox news got the story wrong? on Microsoft Spinning Against OpenDocument Via Fox News · · Score: 1

    I'm shocked! That never happens with Fox News! Absolutely Never!

  3. Who cares about realism? on The Future of Videogame Aesthetics · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    After all, most of us play games to ESCAPE REALITY. What other environment allows you to kill people, carjack, and do drive-by's with no chance of getting thrown into jail or the slammer?

    If I want realism, I'll go work for Microsoft and duck some flying chairs.

  4. Re:Mark my words` on Google Wants a Piece of AOL? · · Score: 1

    If he starts throwing chairs, we'll know that Google's in trouble.

  5. Great..... on Google Wants a Piece of AOL? · · Score: 3, Funny

    .....As if I needeed more CD's in my mailbox. At least you could reformat the floppies.

  6. I guess that I didn't get the memo.... on Yahoo Closes Chat Rooms to Anyone Under 18 · · Score: 1

    .....That Spitzer was the new Internet Overlord. I thought the US government was fighting for that role?

  7. Possible pictures of the new iPod on New iPods on the Horizon · · Score: 1

    Check at the link below (if it isn't already Slasdotted):

    http://www.macrumors.com/downloads/5G_ipod.jpg

    Note the screen size. Maybe some sort of video is possible?

  8. Re:Who are we really protecting? on ESA to Sue California Over Violent Game Law · · Score: 1

    The politicians from the people who bankroll their election runs.

  9. Considering Arnie is in charge.... on ESA to Sue California Over Violent Game Law · · Score: 3, Funny

    ..... Maybe a BFG9000 would be more effective?

  10. We say farewell to our old Internet Overlords..... on Internet Power Struggle Reaching Climax · · Score: 0, Redundant

    .... from the USA and welcome our European backed Internet Overlords!

  11. Re:waiting for aussie to go into space on Another Taikonaut Launch This Week · · Score: 1

    Actually, there WAS an Australian astronaut. Andy Thomas was on MIR in 1988 and on the "return to flight" mission of the space shuttle this past July.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Thomas

  12. This will....... on Another Taikonaut Launch This Week · · Score: 1

    ..... Likely kick start efforts to get the Space Shuttle back into the air along with accelerating efforts to get a moon shot going ASAP. Just like the old days with the USSR!

  13. Hmmm..... on China's Internet Addiction Clinic · · Score: 1

    "We also covered this story last july."

    I see dupe addiction is spreading amongst the editors with Zonk being paitent zero. When will we see a clinic for that?

  14. Re:One thing comes to mind.... on Preview of New MSN Hotmail · · Score: 1

    That still doesn't answer if these features will work with non IE browsers. The only thing it says (or implies) is that they tested the beta with older versions of IE and found that the minimum point of entry is 5.5.

  15. One thing comes to mind.... on Preview of New MSN Hotmail · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ..... How tied is this to IE, or by some miracle will it behave exactly the same under other browsers (Firefox, Opera, etc.)?

    The article doesn't seem to give any insight on this.

  16. Uh Oh.... on EC Watching Microsoft Security Moves · · Score: 4, Funny

    ....I think someone is going to be throwing some chairs shortly.

  17. Greed 2.0??? on Record Labels Unveil Greed 2.0 · · Score: 2, Funny

    With all of the stunts they've pulled lately, I thought they were up to version 8 or 9 by now?

  18. Steve Jobs should be happy.... on Mystery Australian Big Cat Shot · · Score: 1

    .... He has another big cat to name an operating system after.

  19. Another reason..... on Google Launches Google Reader at Web 2.0 · · Score: 3, Funny

    ..... For Ballmer to throw a chair across the room.

  20. So let me get this straight... on RIAA Goes After Satellite Radio · · Score: 1

    ......The RIAA Overlords don't like the recording of XM and Sirrus radio even though fair use likely allows this?

    What crack are they smoking and why aren't they sharing it with the rest of us? It's clearly some good stuff as they are totally out to lunch on this one.

  21. These RIAA lawsuits..... on RIAA Sues a Child · · Score: 1

    .....do little to stop downloading IMHO. It however does:

    - Piss people off (just look at the venom here on Slashdot).
    - Generate bad press for the RIAA (suing kids usually has that effect)
    - Basically encourage more downloading because people basically want to tell the RIAA to go FCSK themselves.

    Way to go RIAA! You've really done a great job!

    (Now if you'll excuse me I have some songs and porn to download over P2P neworks.)

  22. Those Office Nazis! on No Office For Linux, MS Patents Rejected · · Score: 1

    "No Office For You!"

  23. Re:Apple hypocrisy on Video iPod Oct 12? · · Score: 1

    I'll point out that Jobs has bashed the whole concept of flash based music players, and then came out with the Shuffle and the Nano which are flash based.

    Apple seems to want to bash things until they have something that will crush the competition, then they embrace it.

  24. The marketing slogan for the video iPod.... on Video iPod Oct 12? · · Score: 1, Redundant

    ..... "1000 Porn movies in your pocket"

  25. Re:This has to have some sort of VIDEO OUT on Video iPod Oct 12? · · Score: 2, Informative

    iPod Photo models had a video out cable. Assuming that this is true, they'd likely recycle that.
