  1. Re:Here's my 2 cents on Linux Users Banned From World of Warcraft? · · Score: 1

    [quote]
    I do not think that Blizzard has any legal basis for terminating people, and believe that it may be a breach of contract on their part.
    [/quote]

    what contract? they own the game, the servers, the data accumulated on their servers, and only ban your present account. You are completely free to make another account and start playing again.

    also, alot of people are "saying" they used linux, when they were using glider but are just piling on the wagon

    they do make a paper trail as soon as you submit your vote. it even shows you the printout

    I'd mod this hilarious if I had mod points

  4. Re:The Mac way on June Windows Update To Be Biggest in a Year · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately slashdot would lose half its customers if it didn't keep posting about M$ updates so all the zealots can get in their weekly preaching on about how grate *nix/macs are atleast once a week.

  5. Re:Woo Hoo! on TiVo Unveils Series3 HDTV DVR · · Score: 1

    I also have a Scientific American HD recorder cable box thingy. Mine can record two shows at once, have extra hard drives attached to it, can record and play back HD content, and it was FREE from Time Warner Cable... well, $10 bucks/month, but I'll call that the high definition cable fee.

  6. confidence on Another Taikonaut Launch This Week · · Score: 1, Insightful
    Analysts say the fact the authorities are being more open about this launch may indicate that they are more confident of its success.

    their confidence should come from the superior technology they are able to use in all phases of preparation, testing, creation, and launch. Imagine the balls it took to do this in the 60s with the very new rocket technology and very little computing power.

  7. umm, entirely new idea of thinking on Flock, the New Browser on the Block · · Score: 5, Funny
    Flock also keeps a history of every Web page a user visits, so they can be found easily later.

    I've seen this feature before, but I can't recall where...

    yeah but does it work on lin... nevermind

  9. 2 ball versions!! on VirtuSphere Immersive Virtual Reality · · Score: 0

    From the manufacturer's website http://www.virtusphere.net/product.htm The poor bastard in the top picture totally got jipped. Between the two versions, I would have definitely chosen the black metal alloy mesh one... and not the lame clear plastic one. Still, neither one would get you laid

    technically they screwed themselves out of 4 names, but they still have 5 left to go before they have to name it entirely something other than ipod

  12. do they plan on making money on Company to Settle and Mine Mars · · Score: 0
    because we can barely ship oil across an ocean for a decent price, somehow I don't see how flying a big ass rocket back and forth between here and Mars full of heavy rocks is going to be cheap.

    It takes us tons of fuel already to send a tiny robot to Mars. Just imagine how much fuel it would take to send a rocket there full of enough excess fuel for a return trip loaded with rocks. That's some high shipping costs!

    STOP MODDING THIS FUNNY!! It is getting way overused. This isn't funny. STOP!! The Overlords thing is getting way overused on every damn slashdot thread in not funny cases, like this one.

  17. Re:Random thoughts on Apple on Mac OS X Running on Non-Apple Hardware · · Score: 0
    despite the fact that everyone on /. is enfatuated with the idea that hating windows and loving OSX and *nix is good just so you can fit in, calling OSX and *nix vastly superior to windows is an overstatement

  18. launch Windows... on Mars Orbiter Launch Delayed · · Score: 0
    launch Windows is a condition often experienced when buying premade computers from pretty much all retail stores and turning them on.

    Then some black screen with the words Windows appears and some little bar on the bottom of the page moves to the right leading you to believe that this Windows is loading up stuff important to running your computer successfully and securely

  19. launch windows not a problem on Mars Orbiter Launch Delayed · · Score: 0
    launch the rocket as soon as it gets fixed

    just rewrite the onboard navigational software to have a multiton rocket moving in excess of earth's escape velocity do a 180 degree turn so it points in the right direction towards mars

    with today's level of understanding of OOP and the required 49 layers of abstraction it should be as easy as baking a pie... never mind the bazillions of joules of energy wasted in reversing the momentum of a rocket

  20. yeah on Terabyte Storage Solutions? · · Score: 0

    Yeah, I signed up for as many free email accounts as I could online, and would just email myself some of my documents and stored it on said email servers.

    With all the storage upgrades on free email you'd be surprised how much storage one can get with about 10 email accounts

    I dropped out of AI class after about 3 months because my teacher was a complete moron. It's too bad, I liked it but she made class and the topic about as painful and agonizing as trying to nail jello to your own ass. I didn't make it to genetic algorithms
