  1. Re:Cheap vs quality, performance... on Cheap Tapeless DV Capture? · · Score: 1

    Or you could partition your laptop drive to have both 10.3 and 10.4, and only use 10.3 for the instances where you're capturing video. Seems like this would be a cheaper alternative to upgrading your camera.

  2. Re:Sex is natural on Senator Carper Calls for Tax on Online Porn · · Score: 1

    People who do this, do it because they are paid to, and in some cases, because they're desperate for some kind of approval or attention. It's not normal.

    Same could be said of actors, musicians or politicians.

  3. What Cutting Room? on How Episode IV Should Have Ended · · Score: 1

    Eps 1 - 3 were all digital. No film to cut!

  4. Re:Podcasting mainstream? on iTunes 4.9 With Podcasting Support · · Score: 1
    Hey, friend What's good for the goose...
    "There's nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up.

    "What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use. Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. Too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too."
    -- Rush Limbaugh show, Oct. 5, 1995
    So next time you smugly defend a hypocritical putz, make sure you really know about the man. Mark me flamebait if you want... I've got some karma to burn.
  5. Re:Podcasting mainstream? on iTunes 4.9 With Podcasting Support · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Especially the technological advances in the prescription painkillers industry. ;)

  6. This is not a Final Decision! on Supreme Court Rules against Grokster · · Score: 1

    From the Yahoo Article, this sends the case back to the appeals court that ruled in favor of Grokster, stating that there is enough evidence for the trial to proceed.

    The fat lady has not yet sung!

  7. Big Deal. Queen with an iPod on iPod Gets The Royal Nod · · Score: 1

    I work in the Chelsea section of Manhattan. I see queens with iPods every day!

  8. Re:Supermen? on Japan Displays Prototype Robot Suit · · Score: 1

    Dude, I can't even spell it correctly, you want me to use it correctly, too? Sheesh!

  9. Supermen? on Japan Displays Prototype Robot Suit · · Score: 5, Funny

    Humans may be able to mutate into supermen in the near future

    Ironicly, I just got Viagra Spam that used that exact same phrasing...

  10. Re:Yay! on U.S. Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Lexmark Case · · Score: 1

    Another tooth pulled from the DMCA doesn't matter. Congress (with the help of corporate bribes and payoffs) is skilled in reconstructive dentistry.

  11. Re:Many Bothans died . . . on CA Warns Of Massive Botnet Attack · · Score: 1

    Yikes... that's like saying "I've slept with hundreds of women without wearing a condom, and I've never had a disease."

  12. But if they stop making games for the PC on Will Next-Gen Consoles Kill Off PC Gaming? · · Score: 1

    But if they stop making games for the PC, then what will Windows fanatics use as an excuse to not buy a Mac? ;) (putting on my asbestos suit...)

  13. Four Apple Articles in a Row? on iTunes 4.9 To Support Podcasting · · Score: 3, Funny

    Is that some sort of record, Slashdot editors?

  14. Re:Must find on ISS Oxygen Generator Fails for Good · · Score: 1, Funny

    In Soviet Russia, Oxygen generates YOU!

  15. Re:If we were a Mac house... on Apple To Patch Dashboard Vulnerability · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you were in charge of security of a Mac house, you would know better than to install 10.n.0 of any new OS X release on any of your company's computers. I never install a new version of X until at least 10.n.3.

  16. Re:This Blows on MPAA Targets TV Download Sites · · Score: 1

    Now, as for what's going on with these lawsuits, it really strikes me as stupid. The TV networks give this stuff away over the airwaves!

    Ya know, the RIAA didn't buy that argument with music that the radio stations give away for free over the airwaves.

  17. Re:BtEFnet & ShunTV DEAD - Two Down, 4 to Go on MPAA Targets TV Download Sites · · Score: 1

    Yikes! It's Black Frickin Thursday! (or Friday... depending on your place on the globe)

  18. ShunTV DEAD - One Down, 5 to Go on MPAA Targets TV Download Sites · · Score: 1

    ShunTV has been taken down, the home page now links to a PDF from the MPAA.

    Forgive my language, but those MPAA motherfuckers!

  19. Damn Dirty Robots on Robots to Help the Blind · · Score: 1

    Anyone else think this will end up like some sort of horrific cross between "I, Robot" and "Conquest of the Planet of the Apes?" If so, then I for one welcome our (yadda yadda yadda)...

  20. Learn from Porn on New York Times Exploring how to Charge for Content · · Score: 1

    If I can find porn passwords online, I think it would be fairly easy to find some NYT passwords once they do this. Then it's just a matter of hoping they don't enlist the services of Pennywise Online.

    (Pre-verts like me will get that Pennywise reference... ;)

  21. Re:600.000 times on Opera's CEO to Swim From Norway to the USA · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Huh? I don't get it...

  22. Re:iMac + KVM ? on New Mac System Specs · · Score: 1

    No, however you can network the two computers together and use a remote desktop protocol such as VNC to control the Dell from the Mac. The Dell will simply appear as a window in OS X.

  23. Re:Hell freezing over? on Google Delivering Factual Answers · · Score: 1

    Yes, Slashdot interviewed Mr. Goatse to find out how he took that picture, he said, "First, take a long metal post, and shove it up your ass..."

  24. Re:no more TLDs, please on Government Finishes Internet Study -- 7 years late · · Score: 1

    Why can't Tuvalu use .TU? It seems to be available...

  25. Re:Interesting on New York Court Says Telecommuters Must Pay NY Tax · · Score: 1

    It's not what the decision says. It says that telecommuting = commuting, and that those who telecommute should be subject to the same taxes that people who physically travel into New York currently pay. I agree that it's rather silly, and the federal courts will be needed to sort this whole mess out.
