  1. Re:The whole thing failed for very sound reasons.. on $100 PC Pledges Fail To Meet Minimum · · Score: 1

    Which of those things can be done by computer geeks from their homes?

  2. It's a trap ? on Microsoft Partners With Zend · · Score: 2, Interesting

    One would think MS has enough languages of their own. None of which I personally like.

  3. Re:Good Joke on Microsoft's IE Team Leader Answers Slashdot Questions · · Score: 1

    And that includes "moms" and "dads" other non technical people I know.

  4. Martha Stewart | Grant Stanley on BitTorrent Site Admin Sent To Prison · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ...crimes that benifit herself and deal with actual money : 5 months

    Grant Stanley, crime characterized as sharing : 5 years of butt sex.

  5. Self Destruct on Patents on Tax Reduction Strategies a Problem · · Score: 4, Funny

    One can only hope that tax and patent lawyers turn on each other and simply self destruct. Maybe then we can make up for the past few decades of apparent non accelerating advancement.

  6. Umm on DVDs w/ Built in USB Ports for Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    Isn't the general idea of selling things to make thigns that people like? Seems like they are trying to sell people things that they themselves like, not necessarily the consumer.

  7. Re:70 miles on Britain's First "Web-Rage" Attack · · Score: 1

    Yah, the summary did seem funny to me on first read. One wonders what that conversation online was like.

  8. Re:Sanity on Britain's First "Web-Rage" Attack · · Score: 1

    I guess normal rules of reasoning to not apply, when the the average person hears the word "web" or "internet" in a situation.

  9. OT: Video? on World's Smallest Robotic Hand · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I thought GIFs were considered to be animations.

  10. Re:Of course it's going to be flimsy! on PS3 Controller Flimsy, Wii Controller Fun · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't that be easily offset by using denser (stronger ?) materials?

  11. Re:Wow, that's just sad. on Nintendo DS Sales Driving Games Industry Growth · · Score: 2, Informative

    The article was about the more general gaming market, not about the handheld gaming market. In that regard it is a fair comparison. Trying kinda hard to defend the consoles aren't you?

  12. Lazy Gamers on PS3 Controller Flimsy, Wii Controller Fun · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Of all the things to be worried about in a console, getting some physical activity in (for the average person) should be the _least_ of ones concerns, and should instead be welcomed. Most should be able to come to grips with the fact that they likely don't get enough physical exercise as it is. I'm more worried about what the multiple purchases will do to my account than my arms. In the worst case scenario, think of it as a thermostat of sorts: when you spend too much time playing, you have feedback in the form of pain so you know its time to do something else.

  13. I say let the spam come on Email Servers Will Choke, Says Spamhaus · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It would be interesting if all email server admins suddenly opened the flood gates for a day or two. Maybe then the general population will gain a better appreciate of the scale of the matter.

    I still think they 3360 guys just look and smell like spammers. That spamhaus aggrees just adds to this conclusion. Here's what seems to amount to the spam histroy of the "plantiff".

  14. Re:A few thoughts on KDE Celebrates 10 Years of Existence · · Score: 1

    Something is definitely wrong with your machine if things run faster under Windows than KDE on the same box.

  15. Re:how about something on New KDE 3.5.5 Features 1,200 Changes · · Score: 1

    Sorry you had to stop using Linux, but I think that by itself is a poor reason. Yes it is tolerable.

  16. Re:Not certain about the Wii on The State Of Wii Preorders · · Score: 1

    As someone who intends to get a Wii ASAP, I say stick with your current console until you feel comfortable with getting another. At the end of the day it's your money, and you're the one who will be playing with it.

  17. Re:how about something on New KDE 3.5.5 Features 1,200 Changes · · Score: 1

    How about 256MB? Works with that.

  18. Re:Kopete on New KDE 3.5.5 Features 1,200 Changes · · Score: 1

    No thanks. I'll stick with Kopete for instant messaging and GAIM for IRC.

  19. Re:Damage is what USA does best on One Last Spamhaus Warning Before The End · · Score: 1

    It would seem so huh. But that proves my point.

  20. Re:Wow... $1600!!! on PS3 Pre-Orders Came and Went · · Score: 1

    hhaha, talk about suckered

  21. Link to the spammers website on One Last Spamhaus Warning Before The End · · Score: 2, Informative

    The fact that they seem to be purely a marketting firm with nothing better to put on their frontpage would be enough for me to manually blacklist them. They go as far as calling Spamhaus a secret organisation: http://www.e360insight.com/

  22. Re:Damage is what USA does best on One Last Spamhaus Warning Before The End · · Score: 1

    You are very wrong.

  23. Bullshit US Judgement on One Last Spamhaus Warning Before The End · · Score: 1

    How can a judge essentailly rule that a group of people, in another country, cannot add someone's already public information to a public list?

  24. Re:New Vocabulary Word. on Microsoft Shown Involved with Baystar and SCO · · Score: 1

    I find it highly overused myself. To much political correctness.

  25. Re:Why all of the complaints? on Bug Hunting Open-Source vs. Proprietary Software · · Score: 1

    I think the complain that is it is okay to compare it. But it's not okay to give half the data and then decry OSS.
