  1. Re:Giving up your freedom is too high a price to p on Azureus Inc. Moves Toward Commercialization · · Score: 1

    For a long while, I used Azureus. Then I tried out uTorrent. I found uTorrent to be superior software by far. Guess which client I use now.

    Open source is great, but I'm not going to use inferior software so I can feel a little warm and fuzzy. I'm going to use the one that works.

  2. Would-be taxpayers? on IRS Compels PayPal to Release Info · · Score: 1

    Don't mean would-be tax evaders?

  3. Well... on Torvalds Says 'Use KDE' · · Score: 1

    Always looked like MacOS to me.

  4. Re:huh? on Manga Explains NASA Mission · · Score: 1

    I think I'll take the art in Hellboy over this.

  5. Re:Use of Hacker on Spyware Maker Indicted on Hacking Charges · · Score: 1

    Heaven forbid people wish to keep something they associate themselves with from having a bad connotation. Especially when it did not always have such a bad one.

  6. Re:Common knowledge. on Challenging Music Downloading Myths · · Score: 1

    When you can buy a CD at a record store and only pay for the songs you want from that particular album, get back to me. Alright, getting back to you. I can get a custom burned CD at a local record store. Just the songs I want.

  7. Re:Please stop with the reverse psychology crap on Lucas's New HQ · · Score: 1

    This might mean something if it wasn't posted AC...

  8. Troll? on IBM Shifts 14,000 Jobs to India · · Score: 1

    Well... Slashdot needs an extra moderation item - -1 [misinformed, misguided and never been outside South Carolina].

    Did you really need to put that troll in? Cheap shots are well and good, but I think you could've done without.

  9. Parenting? on School-Lunch Monitoring System for Parents · · Score: 1

    A parent could give a child $20 and within two days that money's gone

    Honestly, if I were to give a kid $20 for a week's worth of lunch? Well, thats all he'd get. I'd make it very clear to him that if he spent it in two days, that's his problem, not mine.

  10. Re:I don't know about their technology... on The Feasibility of Star Wars Tech · · Score: 1

    Reminds me of a short story I read once. "Simple Tricks" by Chris Cassidy and Tish Pahl.

    Apparently scamming people into think you're a Jedi is a good way to make money.

  11. Re:could be good on Chronicles of Narnia Trailer · · Score: 1

    You sir, are a whiner.

    Honestly, one minor detail might be slightly different, and you're declaring now that its going to be crap? Bravo, you must be a fanboy. One that can see the future.

  12. Simple: on Encrypted Fileserver with Bittorrent Web Interface · · Score: 1

    "I don't recall."

  13. Re:"Nationwide"? For what values of 'nation'? on Free Comic Book Day 2005 · · Score: 1

    Well if you don't live in America, then it don't apply to you. Seems simple enough.

  14. Why? on Google Web Accelerator · · Score: 1

    Is there really any demand for a web accelerator anymore? Dialup is slowly dying, and I don't really feel the need to speed up my DSL connection.

  15. Sure on Gaming Hacks · · Score: 1

    But you have to maximize your gaming time! You wouldn't want to waste time with boring websites like Slashdot.

  16. Re:Energy concerns on Room-Temperature, Small-Scale Fusion at UCLA · · Score: 1

    ...so then it could power itself. By George, I do believe you've figured out perpetual motion! Seriously, think about it. Wouldn't that make the efficiency greater than 100%?

  17. Let me get this straight... on Fat Geeks Healthier Than You Thought · · Score: 3, Funny

    They have pork rind buffets? Like... an entire buffet of pork rinds?

    Why wasn't I notified?

  18. Re:Actually, Sony is the only one who can do it ri on Sony Online To Sell Virtual Property · · Score: 2, Informative

    Quite true. Obviously, no 3rd-party seller of in-game resources can survive being undercut by the system administrators, who can accomplish the equivalent of MONTHS of gil-farming with a single command-line.

    If I understand it correctly, Sony isn't actually selling the items or gold directly. Nothing is created in the transaction. They are just giving people a way to safely do their business.

    In other words, IGE should still be able to make money from farming. Now they just have to compete with (or just use) Sony's marketplace, which may effect their profits.

  19. Honestly? on Why Aren't More Distros Becoming LSB Certified? · · Score: 1

    They can't be bothered and/or don't care. I'm willing to bet thats 9/10s of it.

  20. For some reason... on Report on Last Decade of Online Advertising · · Score: 1

    Doubleclick.com has an interesting 24 page PDF...

    That just seems unpossible. Seriously, 24 pages about banner ads and popups?

  21. Good. on Revenge of the Sith TV Spots Revealed · · Score: 0, Troll

    The herd could use a little thinning anyway.

  22. Ha! on Asteroid 2004 MN4 May Hit Earth After All · · Score: 2, Funny

    I knew my Y2K shelter would come in handy. Who has all the Spam now!?

  23. Pffft on The Early History of Nupedia and Wikipedia: A Memoir · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Sure, but what about Everything2?

    I found that long before I found Wikipedia.

  24. Re:What a joke on A 2nd Core to Keep Windows Chugging Along? · · Score: 1

    You're kidding right? I've got the same specs except for a 733 MHz proc. Runs everything but the most recent games just fine. Hell, it even ran the Tribes:Vengeance beta smoother than Tribes 2.

  25. Re:Men? Women? on Firefox Site Visits Up 237% · · Score: 2, Funny

    about:config > user.chromosome.autodetect Boolean, of course.
