  1. Re:Several frustrating points on What's Wrong with Unix? · · Score: 1

    No, it shouldn't.

  2. Re:Roland Piquepaille and Slashdot on DURL, a Search Tool for del.icio.us · · Score: 4, Informative

    Roland Piquepaille (780675) is a troll. rpiquepa (644694) is the real Roland Piquepaille. Just look at which one has accepted stories. Whether you like him or not, don't attribute the parent's idiocy to him.

  3. Re:More money than brains I guess on Re-Pet a Reality · · Score: 1

    Not only was that movie crappy, but it didn't actually have any cloning.

  4. Re:Britney on 2004 Year-End Google Zeitgeist · · Score: 1

    Obviously a great many people searching for Miss Spears cannot spell. Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by OMG WTF LOL!

  5. Re:Rutan is my hero. on Burt Rutan On Future Of SpaceShipOne (and Two) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Men in the future will stand on Rutan's shoulders and take his vision even further. God willing, Bush will leave a legacy which will never be overshadowed.

  6. Re:Obligatory quote on Guy Game Results in Lawsuits and Injunction · · Score: 1

    In fact Porntris was created by Image-Line, the company that now makes FL Studio (a music sequencer). Though by "company" they really just mean "two dudes in Belgium."

  7. Re:The Robot Threat on Net Worm Uses Google to Spread · · Score: 1

    Not nearly as interesting as what the government hides.

  8. Re:Wait... what? on Game Industry Not Bigger Than Hollywood · · Score: 1

    Popcorn and soft drinks are where the theaters make their money, not Hollywood. In fact theaters get a pretty small cut of the profit from ticket sales, and make most of their money off concessions.

  9. Re:Wait... what? on Game Industry Not Bigger Than Hollywood · · Score: 1
    Which sells more merchandising?

    Just like Yogurt said, it really is all about the merchandising. Some movies actually generate more profit from merchandising than from ticket sales.

  10. Re:How does he stay grounded? on Torvalds on Opening Solaris · · Score: 1

    Muhammad did a pretty good job impressing people after Jesus.

  11. Re:ha on DNA For Information Processing and Data Storage · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, but clearly your DNA is the property of SCO. You'll have to buy a license if you wish to continue protein synthesis.

  12. Re:My non-infringing use on Sought for MGM v. Grokster: Non-Infringing P2P Use · · Score: 1
  13. Re:Chess on Cognitive Enhancement Drugs · · Score: 2, Informative

    The chess professionals already have this. The president of FIDE, the world chess federation, wants chess to be an Olympic sport. It is never going to be one. But now the Grandmasters have to submit to drug tests.

  14. Re:More the point, who are you? on Knoppix To Split Into 'Light,' 'Maximum' Versions · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not really, because it uses Linux technology instead of NT technology.

  15. Re:FreeBSD has it figured out on Building Applications with the Linux Standard Base · · Score: 1

    XNU, the OS X kernel, is actually based more on Mach.

  16. Re:All sequels on Game Industry Bigger Than Hollywood · · Score: 2, Insightful

    While it's true there's too much sequelism, it's different for video games than it is for films. Doom 3, for example, isn't even a sequel--it's a remake--but even if you hate it, you can't say it's just a rehash of the original Doom in terms of gameplay. I think a lot of it is just people wanting to cash in on established names. Hell, Super Mario Bros. 2 was an existing game they rebranded.

  17. Re:BitTorrent is a pirates' delight on TorrentBits.org and SuprNova.org Go Dark · · Score: 1

    It's not rare for a story to be a dupe. But is it really necessary to post a comment that is a dupe?

  18. Re:Distributing and hiding trackers. on TorrentBits.org and SuprNova.org Go Dark · · Score: 1

    This is basically what Metanet is.

  19. Re:WTF? on Internet Access and Computer Fraud Laws · · Score: 1
    The plantiff would like to introduce Exhibit 153, an excerpt from the SCO webserver log:
    workstation.ibm.com - - "GET /downloads/sco_software.tar.gz HTTP/1.1" 200 334525
    Clearly this is an illegal hacking attempt.
  20. Re:Old News on Major Climate Change 5,200 Years Ago Could Repeat · · Score: 1

    Don't forget 0x0 and 00. Oh, and also 0.

  21. Re:Il Governor is a dweeb and Dork... on Illinois Gov. Seeks Violent Video Game Ban · · Score: 1

    Springfield is pretty boring compared to Chicago. Besides, how else is he supposed to take orders from Mayor Daley?

  22. Re:Enough about the stupid PS2 Harddrive on Gaming Gaffes of 2004 · · Score: 1
    Actually, Halo took pretty good advantage of the hard drive. Saved SP games in Halo record the entire game state. You can load a saved game in seconds (faster than you can load a new game), but each saved game takes up about a fourth of a memory card. Halo 2 is going to have downloadable maps, and already they've discreetly released a minor bugfix. Sure, that's just two games, but face it, that's all a lot of people play on Xbox. I literally bought Xbox soley for those two games.

    Mainly I think the XBox 2 won't have a hard drive so there's less incentive to mod it.

  23. Re:TFA beat me to it ! on Bad Science Awards · · Score: 1

    Yes, but in Korea, the radiation effect is only for old people.

  24. Re:America's Army on Illinois Gov. Seeks Violent Video Game Ban · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Clearly human beings weren't meant to be naked. After all, if we were, we would have been born naked.

  25. Re:Not very good on Firefox New York Times Ad Hits the Presses · · Score: 1
    The Apple ad didn't have much substance either. It almost never aired because a lot of people didn't think it really made much sense.

    But it sure sold a shitload of computers. Would that this ad did so well.
