  1. No PowerPC Users? on Ubuntu Linux Live CD Release · · Score: 0

    I'm sitting here at my iBook, and it took me barely any time at all to get to 61.7mb, which had me hoping I could get this downloaded before I go to bed, but now, sadly enough, there are 0 peers.

    Weak.

  2. Instead of talking about the repost on World's Shortest P2P App: 15 Lines · · Score: 2, Funny

    Why don't you guys just write a 15 line program that checks the first 50 replies to stories, and filter out 49 of them that say anything about it being a repost.

  3. Re:Personally, I will keep my kids away from them on Introducing Children to Computers? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Get your kids a laptop. Then they can sit around and be lazy, but be outdoors at the same time.

  4. Re:HL2: "almost a year of reprogramming" on Inside the Shadow Internet · · Score: 1, Funny

    This too reminds me of something.

    The classic tale of the guy who downloads a song, and then the guy he downloaded it from starts downloading the same thing back from him. The first downloader messages the second one asking what he's doing and the guy replys "Stealing my song back, dumbass."

  5. This entire thing reminds me of a movie called on Inside the Shadow Internet · · Score: 0
  6. Re:What? on 2004 MN4 Asteroid Odds Inching Up Again · · Score: 0

    Actually, when Neo died, it saved everyone from Smith.

  7. Misleading Picture on Walmart Offers Sub-$500 laptop With Linspire · · Score: 0

    In this picture of the product, it appears to have a DVD drive.

  8. Re:Accalim? on Buy a Piece of Acclaim · · Score: 1

    I'm not new around here, but hey, someone's going to mention it sooner or later.

  9. Accalim? on Buy a Piece of Acclaim · · Score: 3, Funny

    I thought it was Acclaim. Someone needs to proof read a bit better.

  10. Re:How much you want to bet on Massive Multiplayer Gaming Warehouses On The Way · · Score: 0

    Actually, there is a small place near me where you can go and play on an Xbox hooked up to an 18" TV. They have about 12 of them system linked, and they hold Halo tournaments and stuff. They make kids either A) Have a parent come in and sign a waiver, B) Ask them for ID (they don't actually look at what's on the ID, just that they have one of any kind, even a highschool ID), or C) Have an older sibling claim to be a parent.

  11. Why People Don't Tell Them... on Microsoft Says Firefox Not a Threat to IE · · Score: 0

    People don't tell Microsoft what they want changed, because they find that Firefox has it. Once they start with Firefox, they have no more need for IE, so why would they try to get support for it? That's like switching to a Mac, and still telling MS why you switched, and what they need to change for you.

    The only people that actually know you could give feedback to MS are those who still actually use IE, but if they do, they take the precautions to keep it relatively safe, and don't download any toolbar or spyware they see on the web.

    Basically, MS isn't getting feedback, except the stats, which show Firefox is gaining popularity, despite the fact they claim people don't need it's features.

    Sure, IE has a huge amount of users, but then again, half of the internet users out there don't even realize there's a internet broswer other than "WINDOWS," so have no reason to switch from IE, which they probably use twice a week to check their Hotmail account and read MSN news.

  12. You know what this is? on Dell Infringes on Patent by Selling Overseas? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Fucking ridiculous, that's what.

  13. Just Saw It On TRL on Star Wars Episode III Teaser Trailer Today · · Score: 0

    Looks even better than the "leaked script" information online did.

  14. Not that much. on How has the USA PATRIOT Act Affected You? · · Score: 1, Funny

    However, it did make me think, "What if they spent as long finding ways to prevent terrorism as they did finding words to fit into the acronym "USA PATRIOT?"

  15. Re:Mirror on Working iPod Halloween Costume · · Score: 0

    And then your mirror managed to get slashdotted too.

  16. Sci Fi? on Hibernating to Mars · · Score: 2, Funny

    Haven't they been doing that in movies for years now?

  17. Salvation Army on AMD's Personal Internet Communicator · · Score: 1

    They have way better deals. 700Mhz or so with DVD drive, 128MB RAM, etc. for like $250.

  18. Re:here you go: on Centrally-Controlled Home Music System on a Budget? · · Score: 1

    Your comment should get a better score for being funny. No one in their right mind would consider that.

  19. How Hard Will This Be? on Hip-e All-In-One PC · · Score: 1

    hip-e and Musicmatch have partnered to bring you THE place to score downloads from all of your favorite artists. With over 700,000 tracks available and more added each day, you'll find all your favorites and a whole lot more!


    Wow. An iMac with iTunes, or some POS with Musicmatch?
    What a tough decision. Not.

  20. Re:They all look the same on Syllable 0.5.4 Released · · Score: 1

    Also, applications are opensource, so you can compile them for any OS. Why re-write a browser when Mozilla, Thunderbird exist?

    Last time I checked, Thunderbird was an email client.

  21. all of them? on Star Wars on DVD · · Score: 1

    I just can't wait until they come out with the box set with all six films and I can spend a day watching the entire Star Wars story. It'll get better as it goes on no doubt, as episode one was so bad, yet the originals are oh so good.

  22. It's not that bad people on D-Link's USB-Powered Access Point · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's not that bad. I'm sure this will be useful for people who don't want to carry a router with them if they have more than one laptop or something in a hotel room, or if they go somewhere without a network yet want to use more than one computer at a time. What's so bad about a new versitile product, even if it does have a brand name on it?
