  1. Re:Kind of a stretch... on Flash EULA Doesn't Fit the Times · · Score: 1

    My favorite part

    other consumer electronics devices

    That mean we aren't allowed to use it at all, right?

  2. N. America on Reintroduce Megafauna to North America? · · Score: 1

    North America already has a big cat population and several sanctuarys for African big cats that have been sold as pets.

    Wild horses would get caught and sold (again)

    Elephants. While interesting, very impractical.

  3. Re:Cern on Remembering Netscape and The Birth of the Web · · Score: 1

    "If anything, Netscape was the prototypical example of how to swipe someone elses' good ideas, rebrand them, and get rich. "

    I thought that was microsoft...

  4. Ms Shipped it. on Google Toolbar for Firefox Released · · Score: 1

    I remember word 6. I was running a computer lab at the time. When 6 came out we switched from WP to Ms Office and converted the whole lab.

    MS shipped word 6 with a macro virus. Or a least some of the copies. Imagine 100s of angry business majors who lost their work. My ears still ring.

  5. Re:The short, truthful answer? on Xbox Next to Include PC/Console Hybrid Option? · · Score: 1

    Oh common a new computer...that can do all that and play all the games(ever notice that there are no xbox only games...they all seem to be on PC or playstation sooner or later)

    and new pc that does this...400....600 gets you more bells and whistles.

    What a waste...no...still no desire to get an xbox.

  6. Re:Slashdot Uses PayPal on Paypal Deals Blow To Freenet · · Score: 1

    The advantage of paypal for sellers, is that they don't charge a monthly fee(ranging from 25-100usd depending on the other service) to accept credit cards...in fact they take nothing from the customer until the transaction is completed.

    You have to sign up for their full bank services...they don't do that automatically. I've canceled three accounts and recreated two with out any problems.

    It seems to me that people are jumping the gun here. Don't want to use them fine, but that does not make them a bad business.

    Oh and it is illegal not to provide correct info. Since they are trafficing in money they have to double check every time. And since they are a US company...if a country doesn't allow a person to give up that info, or a person won't then they can't do business with them. The patriot act requires that US businesses have this info at any time to give to the government and can face penalties if they don't...now if the PA goes away then it isn't a problem, but Bush is already suing to make it a permenant law. I guess we'll have to get used to it.

  7. Grey Matter on Bloggers Assail Movable Type's New Pricing Scheme · · Score: 1

    Greymatter all the way.

    seriously there are many free alternatives that are as good if not better. Personally I really like greymatter.

  8. Re:Question from an "outsider" on D&D Is 30 · · Score: 1

    Actually Dave Arneson is republishing Blackmoor under 3.5...which will be featured at Origins(a gaming convention for those that think adults don't play)
