  1. Re:Misleading Headline on Every Vista Computer Gets Its Own Domain Name · · Score: 1

    Instead, I'll just register me another dyndns account

  2. Re:For those cheering Nintendo on Nintendo Profits Up 72%, Sony's Down 94% · · Score: 1

    As far as I can remember Sony's hardware is all about proprietary stuff. The other day a friend of mine was looking to buy a Sony mp3 player, I told her "Sony doesn't sell mp3 players." Heh.

  3. Re:Zero Wing on The 20 Worst Games Ever · · Score: 1

    Wasn't this just some ripoff of Wing Commander?

  4. I'll just have my bots read slashdot on Zombies Blend In With Regular Web Traffic · · Score: 1

    configure them to read memes - they fit right in

  5. To paraphrase an old one on What Earth Without People Would Look Like · · Score: 1

    If there were nobody left to look at the world, does it still exist?

  6. Re:Incredible Speaker on Jobs Unfazed by Zune · · Score: 1

    That's not the kind of hot wax I wanna be using though.

  7. Re:BULLSHIT on One Last Spamhaus Warning Before The End · · Score: 1

    If they now sue the lawyers for malpractice, which lawyers should they sue?

  8. Sagan not proven right yet, still no circle. on Pi Recited to 100,000 Digits · · Score: 1

    Er you're not supposed to do the counting in base 10...

  9. Re:Ironic Tones on Mars Rover Reaches Victoria Crater · · Score: 1

    So you're recommending we have exceedingly low expectations, just to pat ourselves on the back when we exceed them?

  10. Too bad there's no metric for shitty music on Does File-Sharing Really Hurt the Music Biz? · · Score: 1

    I'm sure there's data to be extracted out of that relationship

  11. Re:Next, the F-35. Maybe. on The US Navy Says Goodbye to the Tomcat · · Score: 1

    These are very different times. Surely you don't disapprove of a fighter built for a current purpose?

  12. Re:The default password is... on Googling for ATM Master Passwords · · Score: 1

    Sure you can configure a default password for machines straight out of the factory, but it wouldn't be hard to program the ATM to require that the password be changed immediately. Like, you know, user accounts....

  13. Re:This is hardly guarding on Fish Work as Anti-terror Agents · · Score: 1

    Too early for the jokes man, that was in poor taste.

  14. Re:Balrogs? on New Tolkien Story To be Published · · Score: 1

    This story is about guys, black swords and dragons w/o wings. And incest. What balrogs?

  15. Re:Not that surprising on Strangest iPod Cases Ever · · Score: 1

    You mean you don't listen to your iPod when you're out killing vampires? Damn.

  16. Re:"Rights to listen" on Answers From Lawyers Who Defend Against RIAA Suits · · Score: 1

    I also think the point made was that when you stole the CD, you have rights to THAT COPY. You did not steal rights to ANY copy. So if THAT COPY is destroyed/stolen, then you lost the rights to THAT COPY.

  17. Re:But astroturfing is what they DO on Don't Be Evil — Hire It Done · · Score: 1

    I hereby propose the idea that everyone in this thread is an astroturfer. :p

  18. Linux in Soylent Green! on Linux Desktop Ready, Says Mainstream Media · · Score: 1

    My favorite flavor.

  19. Re:I don't see how they are banned books... on Banned Books published by Google · · Score: 1

    To Kill a Mockingbird was required reading for me - I was assessed on it for my Literature class. A great work IMO, really cuts to the core on racism. Can someone tell me why it was banned?

  20. Re:Then why get them? on Microsoft Won't Assert Web Services Patents · · Score: 1

    Covering your ass is much more cheaply established (not to mention more trusted) simply by publishing your idea then citing it as prior art.

  21. Re:(sigh) on Voting Machines Wreak Havoc in Maryland Elections · · Score: 0, Troll

    "Computers have the advantage of being impartial (if that is how they're programmed) and unlikely to make mistakes"

    You'd trust the impartiality and reputation of a company over that of several volunteers?

  22. Re:The singing Tom Bombadil - for the confused on MGM to Produce "The Hobbit" · · Score: 1

    I betcha Beorn won't appear there either. And half the dwarves will be removed.

  23. Re:They patched it, but... on DRM Hole Sets Patch Speed Record For Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I wonder if this, and subsequent patches can be reverse-engineered so as to render WMDRM useless.

  24. Re:NO! on Former MS Security Strategist Joins Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Please name one thing inside SP2 that's worse than in SP1. The enhanced firewall? The security center? What on earth do you have to complain about? Sure it's not perfect, but it was clearly a step forward. And all that offered for no extra charge*!

  25. Re:Anyone else notice ... on Early Testers Say Vista RC1 Not Ready · · Score: 1

    Well it is kinda hard to find hardware that's aero glass compatible
