  1. Re:It would be a good thing... on BusinessWeek Takes On the RIAA · · Score: 3, Funny

    I like Warner, EMI, Sony, Universal.

    Otherwise known as W.E.S.U.

  2. Re:Religion vs Darwin vs Technology vs Society on Evolution and the 'Wisdom of Crowds' · · Score: 1

    Out of curiosity, which one?

  3. Holy Crap protect your brain! on Selling Homeowners a Solar Dream · · Score: 1

    Oohhhh, S-T-Yler - everybody's safe then.

  4. How did they find out? on University Professor Chastised For Using Tor · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Its possible that I'm simply missing the point, but if Tor is so effective then how exactly did a university IT guy and two campus cops find out it was in use and trace it so easily to the professor in question? Isn't anonymity the whole point?

  5. Isnt it obvious? on Why Do Gadgets Break? · · Score: 1

    more complicated = more parts = more likely to break

  6. the quote? on Microsoft's Battle For Software Mindshare · · Score: 1

    "'One of the biggest challenges... is to fight that perception that old versions of software are good enough,' said Microsoft's Chris Capossela. Change 'old' to 'new' and I'm right there with you.

  7. Security Suggestions too Windows-centric? on Safe Computing For the Elderly? · · Score: 1

    Gee do you think theres a reason for that?

  8. not so bad on 4 Seconds Loading Time Is Maximum For Websurfers · · Score: 1

    I remember taking a web design class years ago at Purdue that called for a 3 second load time as people clicked away after that. Whats funny is that modems were still in heavy use at the time so you could pretty much only load some text and a small pic and there goes your 3 seconds.

  9. No problems here on Voting Machine Glitches Already Being Reported · · Score: 1

    I just voted in Indiana and didn't run into any problems. Even the staff was helpful. One odd bit, family members that moved away years ago appeared on the same sign-in sheet that I had to sign. I wonder how often they update that crap.

  10. Since its so rare... on Microsoft Will Allow Vista Reinstalls · · Score: 1

    Since I get to say this so rarely without sarcasm... Good one Microsoft.

  11. This is on RFID To Track Play of DVDs And CDs? · · Score: 1

    stupid, stupid, stupid. I feel theres nothing else to say.

  12. Re:Haven't bought a movie in years. on George Lucas Predicts Death of Big Budget Movies · · Score: 1

    I second your opinion on The Rundown, which is something I Never expected from a movie starring 'The Rock'.

  13. IT Maintaining Software on Google Copies Corporate Data to Google's Servers? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Is it really asking too much of an Admin to maintain good software installation permissions and policies? If untrustworthy users have been given high enough authority to install their own software then Admins have no one to blame but themselves.

    Well you can probably blame management too.. thats always good.

  14. Re:Meh on Halo 2 Only on Vista · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... 2k is still chugging along fine for the rest of us.

  15. Next Question... on New WoW Map Uses Google Local API · · Score: 1

    Ok so the next question is, Who wants to do this for Guild Wars?

    ..Says the lazy guy that doesnt want to take the time

  16. Re:Not jump on the "Guild Wars is freeee" bandwago on MMOGs Branch Out · · Score: 1

    Hey I'll jump on that bandwagon. In fact, I did about 6 months ago.

  17. Another Room on A PC Case with External Power Supply? · · Score: 1

    Put it in another room and run extension cables. Seriously, nothing else will work.

  18. False on Whedon Calls Death Knell For Firefly · · Score: 5, Informative

    This little blurb seems completely contrary to

    http://whedonesque.com/comments/9027 and

    http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=22059 (look towards bottom of article).

  19. not saying much on 360 Has Best Launch Lineup Ever? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well that certainly doesnt say much for the previous consoles' release lineups.

  20. Great Quote on Australian Senator Wants to Censor the Net · · Score: 1

    "The survey found that 93 per cent of parents were in favour of filtering out pornography available on the home computer, let alone those in public buildings. The survey also drew a link between prolonged exposure to this material and tolerance of sexual aggression. Is this why some men see women as a fashion to be used one day and discarded the next?"

    Oh yeah, thats the reason. It has nothing to do with thousands and thousands of years of supressing female rights, THE INTERNET DID IT!

    Jackass writer

  21. Ask Slashdot on Is Zigbee the Next Bluetooth? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Hey Slashdot, what are tomorrow's winning lotto numbers?

  22. Last Sentence rewrite on Unreliable Linux Dumped from Crest Electronics · · Score: 1

    Perhaps that final sentence should read:

    "The total cost of ownership is actually lower in this case than with Linux because of the hidden costs of stupidity ."

  23. Sideways orientation? on Talking 'Bout A Revolution · · Score: 1

    Has anybody noticed that the thickness of the controller changes from top to bottom (when held in 'remote control' fashion)? Obviously this is for the battery compartment, but wont that make it a little strange to hold in a sideways orientation? Your left hand will grab a thin section while the right will grip a section substantially thicker and heavier. Imagine how that would have felt on the original NES controller.

  24. So am I the only one? on A Gimp In Photoshop's Clothing · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one that doesn't mind the current Gimp interface? Admittedly it was a bit strange at first but thats only because I had previously used Photoshop's interface.

  25. Re:Wow! More information on lighting! on HL2 - Lost Coast Playtest and Tech Details · · Score: 1

    Everyone but you :)
