  1. China will ban it. on 2 Million Azeroth Citizens · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    China will probably ban it like Google.

  2. Re:Lets start counting on Cuba Switching to Linux · · Score: 1, Funny

    Cuba the country??? I thought they were talking about Cuba Gooding Jr. Damn, for a minute there, I thought we could use his celebrity power to start convincing people that Linux really is cool.

  3. Re:Screen Shots of Windows Mobile 5 on Gates Releases Details on New Mobile OS · · Score: 1

    Internet Explorer Mobile??? WTF, who wants spyware on their phone?

  4. Re:Surprising? on Newest Star Wars Reviews Suprisingly Positive · · Score: 1

    Empire will always be my fav from the original trilogy. I could do the Clerks quote, but I won't.

  5. Re:When will they learn? on More Movie Studios Consider UMD Releases · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm not buying one until there is a good pr0n market going for it. Portable Spiderman... eh? Portable DVDA, OH YEAH!!!

  6. Re:Typo ?!!? on Bandai to Ship UMD and DVD Discs Together · · Score: 1

    Is the Star Wars VHS the original un-bastardized version?

  7. Re:Why do people buy cheap ram? on Firms Get Away with Selling Untested DRAM · · Score: 1

    I don't know about your area, but there is a huge price difference between buying Crucial compared to buying say Mushkin from the internet. I've never had RAM problems at home personally, and I don't like to pay too much for parts.

  8. LexisNexis Breach Worse Than Believed on LexisNexis Breach Worse Than Believed · · Score: 3, Funny

    I can see the letter now. Dear clients, We got owned. We got owned in a big way. Your identity is probably stolen now.

  9. Ewww on BitKeeper Love Triangle: McVoy, Linus and Tridge · · Score: 5, Funny

    Wow, that is definitely one video I definitely wouldn't want to look for a torrent of.

  10. Re:1. To survive. ... ? on The Top Three Reasons for Humans in Space · · Score: 1

    I really really hope that was sarcasm. Unfortunately, this is the perception by most people. Maybe if people cared more about future generations back 30-40 years ago, vehicles that run on an alternate replenishable fuel source would be in mainstream production. I take it you don't plan on having kids or grandkids by youre statement.

  11. Re:If the shoe fits, wear it... on NYT on In-Game Advertising · · Score: 1

    Mmmm, Guinness. Yeah, I could definitely see some of the brew showing up in pubs in the game. Could definitely make it fun to be drinking the same brew in and out of game.

  12. Re:Ubuntu on Distrowatch Hit List on Hoary Hedgehog Ubuntu 5.04 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    I switched to Ubuntu from Fedora Core 3 a few weeks ago. To be honest, as a desktop, Ubuntu has Fedora beat hands down for me. It runs hella faster on newer hardware. It's setup to work with Apt/Synaptic by default. The Gnome desktop is much newer than the one they're using with Fedora Core 3. I know they have the new version of Gnome in FC4 Test 1, but it has lots of problems. Ubuntu works and works well. Oh and the apt servers are alot faster than the ones for Fedora. In general, I've had alot of good luck with this distro. As a matter of fact, I installed it on a newly aquired laptop last night. Once again, it works beautifully.

  13. Damn you! on Hoary Hedgehog Ubuntu 5.04 Released · · Score: 2

    Thanks alot whoever posted this article. Now the ubuntu website is being slashdotted. I'm now declaring you responsible for my apt-get update moving slow as molasses. Thanks alot buddy. I really appreciate it... NOT!

  14. In Soviet Russia on Feds Hack Wireless Network in 3 Minutes · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Wireless Encryption cracks you!!!

    Can't wait to have dual Soundblaster Audigys for 10.2 surround sound.

  16. Re:Chobits on Humanoid Robot KHR-1 SDK Released · · Score: 1

    So you can't use one... communications port. That doesn't mean the other ones are inaccessible.

  17. Chobits on Humanoid Robot KHR-1 SDK Released · · Score: 2, Funny

    Dammit, I got all excited for nothing. Wake me up when somebody actually starts a Chobits line of robots.

  18. Re:Mouse and keyboards on Quake IV Confirmed For QuakeCon · · Score: 1

    Ugh, that reminds me of the time I attempted to play Diablo on a Playstation. I'd beaten the game dozens of times on the PC in Hell difficulty, but when I tried to play it on the Playstation with a controller... I died on the first level. Some things are just meant to be played with a mouse and keyboard.

  19. Re:Fantasy and reality on Senator Clinton Slams GTA · · Score: 1

    Was copying from the movie Snatch. It's really funny.

  20. Re:Fantasy and reality on Senator Clinton Slams GTA · · Score: 1

  21. Re:Ubiquitous on UK Report Suggests Designer Offspring · · Score: 1

    If only it were really that easy. I'd move to Soviet Russia tomorrow.

  22. Re:What's the big deal? on UK Report Suggests Designer Offspring · · Score: 1

    Maybe if they treated men and women equally, they wouldn't have that problem. In a country where women are only given value by the husband they are married to, who the hell would want to bring a child into that kind of future?

  23. Re:Launch explosion? on Japan Considering Moon Base, Shuttle Projects · · Score: 1

    Damn, that sucks. I don't think it would really be worth it. I mean if you really make some decent money from it. You will get killed at the end of the year when you claim all that money that you didn't pay any tax on.

  24. Re:Awww.... on True.com Wants Warnings On Personal Ads · · Score: 5, Funny

    "We found that 20 percent of Internet users believe that some of the larger dating services do background checks when in fact they do not. We believe there's a false sense of security out there that needs to be corrected through disclosure." I can't believe that only 20% of people are that stupid. The number should be way higher than that.

  25. Re:Launch explosion? on Japan Considering Moon Base, Shuttle Projects · · Score: 1

    Hmm, I wonder how that works on your taxes. Do you think it would be worth the payoff? If they go under, do you still have to file?
