  1. Ten years later... on British TV Station Offers Downloads · · Score: -1, Troll

    ...and still no Seinfeld.

  2. No lock-in? on Firefox and Open Standards the Way Forward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Avoiding vendor lock-in? I guess as long as nobody uses any Firefox specific hacks, then yeah. But what's the harm in vendor lock-in when it's free, I guess.

  3. Bittorrent on Footage From Star Wars: Episode III · · Score: 1, Informative

    Here's a Bittorrent: http://blat.info/torrent/

  4. Re:Slow already.. on Han Solo in Lego Carbonite · · Score: 4, Funny

    I had flashbacks of the old 60's Batman sound effects:

    Article is: here. *POW*

    Slashdottable large jpg files are: here and here. *BIFF*

  5. Small Scale Death Star II? As opposed to what? on Han Solo in Lego Carbonite · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'd like to see a large scale Death Star II.

    Anyway, I'm glad people still use the traditional Lego components for stuff like this. Don't get me wrong, Mindstorms is a great thing, and I'm glad Lego isn't totally giving up on it. But there's something about the more traditional Lego pieces.

  6. Doomed to repeat... on Macintosh 2004 Case Mod · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Why is it that Apple Computer is doomed to repeat the same actions that gets them in trouble time and time again. Sure, they can just settle out of court, but it's a drain on their corporate value.

  7. I Don't get it... on Build Your Own PVR · · Score: 1

    Uh, yeah, what a pain. While you're playing around with your hobby, I'll be enjoying today's barrage of re-runs, semi-commercial free. Just buy the damn thing.

  8. SCO on MandrakeSoft Roundup · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Don't forget to pay your (tea bag, yadda, yadda) SCO license when you help them out of bankruptcy. 260,000 what, by the way? More info.

  9. Re:Missing the point: Plagiarized review on The Golden Transcendence · · Score: 1

    This is just poetic justice, I tell you. But how do you *know* that my comment wasn't first and that someone at Slashdot lifted it and placed it in the article *after* I got +5? Hmm?

  10. Anti-spam? on The Golden Transcendence · · Score: 5, Interesting

    As an example as just one of the concepts presented, we can look at the idea of 'sensefilters.' Perception is no longer what organic senses directly tell the mind. The signals received by the body or remote bodies are processed to be acceptable to the person's particular preferences. If a person doesn't like to see advertising, their mind eliminates the advertising from their vision and fills in the scene with what would be there if the advertisement wasn't there. Consciously, the person isn't aware of this, only that they have requested not to see advertisements. Sensefiltering can be used to remove (or add) objects, people, and even ideas from an individual's perception. The plot devices are interesting stuff that Mr. Wright explores in just enough detail to keep you wanting more throughout the trilogy (see other review).

  11. IA-64 on Effect of Using 64-bit Pointers? · · Score: -1

    Including sample Itanium programs that work with HP-UX assemblers and GNU and Intel assemblers for Linux, this text describes the Itanium architecture and explores its instruction set through assembly language programming.

  12. That's nothing... on Real Announces Helix Grant Winners · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Somehow, they expect us to believe this stuff. Believe me, there's no way I'll take this lying down.

  13. Re:Exotic materials... on Mine The Moon For Helium-3 · · Score: 1

    Sorry about that. You may now mark your relationship to me.
