  1. What Microsoft wants... on Software Piracy Due to Expensive Hardware, Says Ballmer · · Score: 1

    Is to eventually convince people that cheap hardware and expensive software is just the way it is. Oceana has always had $100 computers with $1000 operating systems.

  2. What I wonder is on CherryOS Not All It's Cracked Up To Be · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Assuming that he never actually accepts orders for CherryOS, is he still guilty of infringment?

  3. Re:At last! Intel realizes that.... on Intel Scraps Plan For 4 Ghz P4 Chip · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Processor numbers will be categorized in 3-digit numerical sequences such as 7xx, 5xx, or 3xx."

    Unfortunately the model number will be the same as the price in dollars...

  4. Sounds like a great idea on Olympus Preps MP3 Player With Cam & Color Display · · Score: 5, Funny

    1. Find hot girl

    2. Ask hot girl to listen to song

    3. Take picture of hot girl's boobies while she listens to music

    4. Profit!

  5. Re:Human cloning... on Harvard to Clone Human Embryos? · · Score: 1

    I hope you are also against experimenting on animals. I really think my dog has more self awareness than an embryo. So do chimps, lab rats, house flies...

  6. Re:another review on New Ceramic Lensed Exilim Ex-S100 · · Score: 1

    lol, somehow when I clicked on you link it took me to the front page of steve's digicams. Sorry about that, I'm not sure how it happened.

  7. Re:another review on New Ceramic Lensed Exilim Ex-S100 · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Here's the direct link for the lazy... http://www.steves-digicams.com/2004_reviews/ex-s10 0.html

  8. Re:Twice as many wheels on Centaur - a Four-wheeled Segway · · Score: 1

    I don't know about it being useless. Where I live everyone owns an ATV (even if they can't afford a decent car). And this looks like a more modernized version of an ATV. And with no emmissions or noise it could be good in parks.

  9. Where's my porn?! on New IM Worm On The Loose · · Score: 1

    It's fine when you guys slashdot all those tech sites, news sites, etc. But when you slashdotted my porn, you went TO FAR!

  10. I want other choices on Presidential Candidates Arrested at Debates · · Score: 1

    Why is it that only Republican and Democratic candidates can debate? With the shitty choices for presidential candidates we are given this year, I'd really like to here what the "other" candidates have to say. Come on, we have Bush who lied to start a war, and we have Kerry who, well... is Kerry, neither one are getting my vote. I want to hear more about my other choices.

  11. Re:Wait a minute.... on RadioShark Is Vaporware No More · · Score: 1

    Mod Parent up! I was just about to put my credit card back in my wallet until I read this. :)

  12. Re:DS? shouldnt that be GB on Nintendo DS Network · · Score: 1

    Nintedo is calling it "Nintendo DS" where DS does stand for Dual Screen.

  13. Re:One slight problem on Nintendo DS Network · · Score: 1

    Well, It does let multiple people play from a single game cartridge, so no one else would have to be playing Harvest Moon.

  14. Imagine... on Nintendo DS Network · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    a beuwolf cluster of Nintendo DS's....

    Oh wait, that is what we are doing.

  15. Sloppy code? on 'Stealth' Worm Hinders Sandbox Analysis · · Score: 5, Funny
    Atak worm cannot be analyzed or debugged by antivirus companies without quite a bit of work, due to the author being sloppy with his or her code.
    Hmmm... let me guess, the virus is written in such sloppy code that it just blends right in with the Windows code? ;^)
  16. Almost fair.... on Don't Smudge The Sensor When You Press 'Play' · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Having your music locked to you instead of your computer almost sounds fair. I did say almost...

  17. 12224 bytes? on Linux for Dummies, 5th Edition · · Score: 1

    "12224 bytes in body"? Sheesh. What, did you guys just post the whole book?

  18. Re:Rights? on Circuit Boards + Soldering Iron == Terrorist? · · Score: 1
    From what I've read, Hitler wasn't that bad of a guy, til he started his ethnic cleansing campaigns across Europe, and conquering other countries just because they were there. That became fairly well known after a while. Maybe you heard about it? World War II?

    Which is exactly why people like Saddam Hussein should not be allowed to be in power in this day and age. We don't want another Hitler (if you think George Bush is the next big genocidal maniac your crazy). I don't see how so many people can just turn their backs on whats happening in other countries just becuase they don't live there. This is the 21st century, bounderies aren't what they used to be, their problems are going to be our problems.

    Now thats not to say I think the United States should police the world to make sure they think everything is kosher. I just think that there should be some kind of system to make sure things don't get out of hand (no NATO isn't cutting it).

    Just my .02, and OffTopic at that - there goes my Karma :^)
  19. Average user? on CNN Notices that WiFi is Insecure · · Score: 1
    'Experts say that while Wi-Fi hardware makers have made initial setup easy, the enabling of security is anything but. Meanwhile, average users are no longer tech savvy.' Which is to say that they at one point were?
    Maybe they meant that the average wireless user is no longer tech savvy, which is probably true.
  20. Re:OH MY GOD! on TechTV.com RIP · · Score: 1

    I actualy didn't care too much for her. Cat from The Screen Savers on the other hand... Grrooowwwlll!!!

  21. Re:The old stuff's better than the new stuff... on TechTV.com RIP · · Score: 1

    BTW, I'm pretty much guaranteed a "redundant" modding on the above post aren't I?

  22. Re:The old stuff's better than the new stuff... on TechTV.com RIP · · Score: 1

    I second that...

  23. Re:Idea on The Urban Geek As A Mugger Magnet? · · Score: 1

    Off topic, but I think it would be funny to rig up a laptop bag with a battery inside and walk through mugger prone areas. When the mugger tries to take the bag it gives him a high voltage shock.

    Ok, maybe I have a sick sense of humor...

  24. Re:Worst reply i've GIVEN.... on Worst Explanation From Tech Support? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I worked help desk in one of my university's computer labs and had an old lady come up to the desk for help. So I go back to the computer with her and she explains what she is trying to do (access some class work online). I wasn't sure what problem she was having with this exactly until she started asking how I was moving "that thing" (curser) around on the screen to go to the different pages... That was a long day.

  25. Re:Bye Bye Mac Hardware on Successful PearPC/Mac OS X Install Documented · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I was actually refering mainly to the case of the computer, not the internal components. I don't think that there can be much defference in the quality of the internal components, at least after you reach a certain (normal) level of quality. I just can't stand the toy like look and feel of practicly all other computers. I would like to know who decided that all PCs had to be made flimsy and cheap. As to the logic board failures, I'll still take my chances with Apple. I'd rather take the (slight) chance of getting a lemon Apple than being guaranteed of getting a crappy PC.
