  1. Re:Christians claim to be children of Abraham? on The Shallow Roots of the Human Family Tree · · Score: 1

    Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints do.

  2. Re:suggestions for a laptop on Linux 2.6.17 Released · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure if you realize that that Dell is not 64 bit. Maybe you do, but I'm not sure so I'm just letting you know. If you want to go with Dell then you should wait a few months until the Core 2 Duos come out (they are 64 bit).

  3. Re:So now it's official on Labs Compete to Build New Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 1

    Well, maybe only with a Democrat president. :)

  4. Re:Remember Iran: on Labs Compete to Build New Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 1

    The US ignored the UN because the UN wasn't enforing its resolutions. The UN has the potential for a lot of good (and it does do a lot of good) but on big matters it's pretty useless.

  5. Re:High price and delays part of strategy? on Sony Pushes Back Release For Blu-Ray Players · · Score: 1

    I know it's not a good strategy but this is Sony. They've made some very poor decisions lately about their products.

  6. High price and delays part of strategy? on Sony Pushes Back Release For Blu-Ray Players · · Score: 1

    "If they wait too long, the PS3 will begin looming on the horizon, causing even devout early adopters to question the intelligence of buying a stand-alone Blu-Ray unit."

    Couldn't that be Sony's strategy? They know all the bad press the PS3 has been getting so all they have to do is make it more attractive as a Blu-Ray player than the stand-alones. This kills 2 birds with 1 stone; it get's people buying the PS3 for games and for the Blu-ray capabilities. Either way, they win.

  7. Re:MOD PARENT DOWN on How Not to Steal a Sidekick · · Score: 3, Funny

    That just gave me a wonderful idea for my Slashdot sig. I should be accepting PayPal donations for all the lost work /. has resulted in.

  8. Re:Mobility on Notebook with Huge 20 Inch Screen Reviewed · · Score: 1

    A body bag.

  9. Mirror? on Seagate Announces First Hybrid Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Anyone happen to get a mirror of the links? They are completely dead at this moment.

  10. Re:Motion Sickness on Review of Episodic Content, Half-Life 2 Episode One · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure if it is fixed in EP1 but Both Half-Life games always give me motion sickness. COD does too, actually. I can play Wolfenstein: ET for hours without any problems but sit me in front of Half-Life or Half-Life 2 and I feel sick within minutes. I don't know what it is.

  11. Link to keyboard on Das Keyboard II: A Switch for the Better · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Link to the keyboard. http://www.daskeyboard.com/

  12. Re:Facts on SanDisk Baits Apple And Woos Rockbox · · Score: 1

    Hence the ad campaign that will result in 15 minutes of fame then life will go back to normal.

  13. Re:Who's the sheep? on SanDisk Baits Apple And Woos Rockbox · · Score: 1

    Now your post is pretty funny.

  14. Re:More Info: on SanDisk Baits Apple And Woos Rockbox · · Score: 0, Troll

    Any company that advertises its products by calling users of other products derogatory names automatically has a major hit against it in my book. Calling Ipod users "iSheep," "iChimps," "iHerd," etc. is counter productive. "Hi! We're the company that slings around insults like 6-year-olds. We can't really compete with the iPod so we'll just resort to name calling." Yep, that's an intelligent way to win fans. Just because negative campaigns *barely* work in politics doesn't make them good business practices.

    I just wanted to add that Apple does poke fun at its competitors in its ads but in a much more subtle and light-hearted way. There really is a big difference in these new anti-iPod ads and what Apple does in their ads.

  15. Re:Quick, Look the Other Way! on More Details of the NSA's Social Network Analysis · · Score: 1

    Ralph Nader had a campaign budget 4.5 times the size of Michael Badnarik's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._presidential_ele ction,_2004. Nader has also run as a candidate in the last 20 elections (okay, a little exaggeration) so he's a little more famous than Badnarik. Maybe there was a media plot too, but I doubt it. It's more about money and names.

  16. Re:That's what happens on Science Ability Down in U.S. High Schools · · Score: 1

    And an even better way to have your kid want to read is for them to see you doing it. If they never see you read, why should they read?

  17. Re:I'm scared... on Apple and Nike Team up for iPod Shoe Interface · · Score: 1

    "We are the Champions" or any of the Rocky music: "Eye of the Tiger" and those ones

  18. Re:Stop perpetuating the myth ... on Microsoft Employees May Lose Admin Rights · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I was about to post a similar thing. I've run WMP perfectly fine without admin rights; then again, it was version 8 or something like that.

  19. Re:Not if I don't want a Blu-Ray player on PS3 to Sell at Over $800 in UK · · Score: 1

    Now we know why Microsoft didn't include a HD-DVD drive in the 360. Microsoft isn't as dumb as they sometimes come across.

  20. Re:Won't Matter on Apple Sues Creative · · Score: 1

    Even if what you say is true at all, Apple would just release their own iTunes cell phone and they'd take over the market.

  21. Re:Republican == NRA on Americans Not Bothered by NSA Spying · · Score: 1

    The AARP is the most powerful lobbying group by the way, but excellent post!

    I know there are a million of these jokes but I can't help myself:

    It looks like I'll be playing my Nintendo into the Wii hours of the night.

  24. Really just a way to earn ad revenue on The NSA Knows Who You've Called · · Score: 1
    The NSA is only doing this so they can start a phone ad program. Google is raking in the money with their adsense program, why can't the government do it with a phone program.

    What, only one lawyer? You can't win with only one. If you're serious about your lawsuit you have to hire a whole gaggle of lawyers and overwhelm by numbers.
