  1. Re:adding in OGG? on Hacking the iPod Firmware · · Score: 1

    Page 5 at MacRealities says they probably won't.

  2. Re:Good God! on More PSP Impressions, Loading Times Examined · · Score: 1

    Hmmm... shutters... windows... microsoft... shutters cover windows... I'm not sure where I'm going with this.

    Wisdom, oh wise low uid. Wisdom.

    Michael Moore posts to /.?

  5. Re:Labour spin? Huh? on Beating Roulette With Computers & Lasers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    IANAGAE (I am not a gambling addiction expert) but to me, it would seem far more likely that someone could get addicted to a megacasino with it's flashing lights, sounds, atmosphere, progressive jackpots, everything. They're just much slicker than anything else that people are used to and as such, it's far easier to become addicted. So yeah, I guess that would be a safe assumption.

  6. Re:Why would I need it? on Three Books On The iPod · · Score: 1

    Possibly other formats with linux? I for one would gladly install linux to get vorbis working, but that may just be me.

  7. Re:Uhh on Associated Press Not Impressed By MyFi · · Score: 1

    Could you imagine using a 1x transfer on an iPod? I mean, I can see where you're coming from with the fun part of making a mixtape, but on the other hand, I don't want to make a custom selection of music, I want to put my whole hard drive's worth of music on my iPod within hours, so I can carry it with me wherever I go.

  8. Three words: Wow on Tankjumping in Halo 2 · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is truly groundbreaking stuff. Pixar's got their work cut out for them when they release Cars with stuff floating around like this. And these guys rendered the whole thing on a 700MHz PC!

  9. Does every country need it? on Thanksgiving Bits · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What about countries that simply can't provide food based on whatever reason? Isn't it stupid or even arrogant of people to assume that they can live everywhere, even places that food simply can't grow in sustainable amounts? To me, it seems somewhat absurd to expect people to bail you out when you can't provide the bare necessities yourself in any set of circumstances. Perhaps a move to another region would be the wiser move.

  10. Re: You're wrong. on Valve Cracks Down on 20,000 Users · · Score: 1

    Their games still work though...

  11. Re:Let me get this straight on Utah Desalinization Plant Causes Earthquake · · Score: 1

    Read the FA? Isn't that RTFA? Or maybe we should all starting saying RT fucking A.

  12. "Hacking" on Winamp Down for the Count · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be easy, given Nullsoft's history, to claim that they were hacked in order to get the source code out there? If i were in the position they're in, I'd blame it on a bug or something in AOL. 2 birds, one stone!

  13. Re:Never. on Winamp Down for the Count · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Didn't they... do that already? ie (no, not IE), Mozilla?

  14. Re:As I posted a few articles back... on A Negative Review of Halo 2 · · Score: 1

    What about google? Ha! Foiled!

  15. Re:While we're on the subject... on A Negative Review of Halo 2 · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, something awful is a credible source. Amusing, yes (I like the game btw) but not really a credible source to review anything.

  16. Re:Torrents on Firefox 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Go ahead, pound it... It's a special occassion. ;)

    Sounds like my last birthday :(

  17. Re:Had to completely uninstall the Preview Release on Firefox 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure there's an extension called grippies or something that adds that functionality.

  18. Re:Not Credible Sources on Halo 2 Reviews · · Score: 1

    Ever play a game called Goldeneye? Everyone knows you could dual wield in that game. And that was long before Halo. So shut yer pie hole. Unless you're putting pie in it.

  19. Re:No Slashdotting on PS3 and XBox 2 Processors to be Exactly the Same? · · Score: 1

    But, but, you just said it twice!

    You mean like Milton?

  22. Re:RIAA again going for the little guy on New RIAA File-swapping Suits Target Students · · Score: 1

    would you pay 30-70 cents for a manufactured and packaged blank CD?

    Yes. Yes I would.

  23. Re:Hmm... on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Launch · · Score: 1

    Why is that book, amongst all others, considered so powerful? Was I missing something when I read it or is there just no meaning?

  24. Re:Rally Driving? on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Launch · · Score: 1

    Methinks the reference is not to a rally driver, but to the short form of the name Richard. Dick Burns, get it? Haha. Ha.

  25. Re:Here we go... on EA Gives Hockey Fans a Virtual Season · · Score: 1

    Wrong. The NHL makes a larger percentage of total revenue than any other professional sport. Yes, even higher than MBL and the NFL, even the NBA. Thanks to the marvels of no salary caps, NHL players make more money than anyone else.

    "But Dizzle, percentage revenue doesn't translate into money!" Actually, yes it does. The revenue earned by a league is a direct measure of how the public feels the league is worth. NFL makes $2 Billion while NHL makes $1 Billion? That means that the NHL isn't worth as much. The public determines how much the league is worth, and the public is determining the league isn't worth what the players want to be making. Simple as that.

    I support the lockout btw, and yes, I am Canadian.
