  1. Re:Great on ABC To Offer Full Shows Online · · Score: 1

    I killed my cable as well. I get better reception with a pair of rabbit ears than I did for local channels on Comcrust.

  2. Re:If this becomes common... on Your Digital Inheritance? · · Score: 1

    I have "heard" that you pay by the month for these types of services.
    This would only be an issue if you had a lifetime membership. At least that is what I heard.

  3. Re:Amazing on Apple Officially Releases Beta Dual Boot Loader · · Score: 1

    Think about how much better this gives Apple the opportunity to be. With increased revenue, we could get better products sooner. Or we will simply be supporting Steve's turtleneck fetish.

  4. Amazing on Apple Officially Releases Beta Dual Boot Loader · · Score: 1

    This will change the face of Apple computers. If and only if everything works properly. I think this could be THE paradigm shift for users.

  5. Re:Not really... on U.S. Army Robots Break Asimov's First Law · · Score: 5, Funny

    I heard that they have this really sweet keyboard that they can create macros on to build their characters/robots strength up by fighting lower level mobs automatically. This requires little to no interaction on the soldiers part.

  6. Re:Not really... on U.S. Army Robots Break Asimov's First Law · · Score: 1

    Link from the article
    Says that these are not autonomous and are controlled by humans. Is this really any different than the Global Hawk?

  7. Re:It's the keyboard, stupid. on Banned From WoW For WINE & Programmable Keyboard · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I agree, I think this has no real tie to Linux is a bit over dramatized. It is the keyboard. If someone tried to contact the player in game and he didn't respond (listed as dnd), yet he was still playing. What are the admins supposed to think?

  8. Re:Costs? on X Prize Foundation Encourages DNA Decoding · · Score: 1

    Phil,
    That was my initial thought as well. I know that the X foundation (no relation to the professor) will look great in the end, but I think that the result of this could help us all. I know private industry is already pursuing things such as this just like the first non-government/military trip to space. It will be done sooner or later. Why not take some credit for it?

    Perhaps I would like to see them offer $50 Mil to go to the moon. Then I can start construction on my super-slingshot. I just need some "test volunteers" that can "assist" me in getting my telemetry correct.

  9. Costs? on X Prize Foundation Encourages DNA Decoding · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Wouldn't it take more than the prize money to accomplish this task? If so, does this really give people incentive or am I missing something?

    Thanks!

  10. Re:"2, Interesting" ? on Whedon Calls Death Knell For Firefly · · Score: 1

    Thanks, I thought it was funny too.

  11. Just a thought.... on Whedon Calls Death Knell For Firefly · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Or a question really, then a thought.
    Why go straight to a movie? Why not back to television. With a movie you only have one chance at redemption. With a series you have several. Make a few more episodes, get picked up by the SciFi channel and let it ride. I loved the Firefly series, but I didn't care for the movie. Yeah, it had great parts (so do some ugly hookers), but overall it both sucked and blowed!!

    I guess I will be looking for that made for TV movie of Angel. And don't tell me it will never happen, because I already know. :(


    I guess that stuff like this is the reason they make scotch.

  12. Larry Wall on Groening Confident on Futurama Relaunch · · Score: -1

    Did Matt Groening go to the Larry Wall school of Comedy?

  13. Lastest titles on Gmail Gets RSS · · Score: 0

    I am really looking forward to the lastest titles.
    Sounds like it will be the bestest ever.

  14. Cayce predicted this on North Pole Heads South · · Score: 0

    Edgar Cayce predicted this would happen and castrophes would ensue.
    End of the world:)

  15. Competition on Web Browser Developers Work Together on Security · · Score: 0

    Competition has raised the standards of what we expect out of a browser. Collaboration is a great idea especially if I can submit private information without be paranoid. I worry that one day the browser market will be monopolized again, and I will have to use something that is about as safe as letting a toddler play with a cheese grater.

  16. Writeable media` on Sticky Tape Defeats Sony DRM Copy Protection · · Score: 0

    As long as they are using media that is written to in a manner which can be easily accessed, this kind of hack will always occur. If the disc were enclosed and a bit larger than standard CD's and required a seperate player, I think this would aid against this type of hack. However, this is kinda funny. How many people will actually use this hack?

  17. Re:Grow some balls...... on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: -1, Troll

    Read my posts. Don't just half read them. When you do you get the wrong assumptions, you coward. I never said I was going away that, was your ASSumption. Emhasis on ASS. Also, check your spelling on 'fuckwad'.

  18. Re:Build Team on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I am not bitter, or a coward(unlike you). I am tired of people getting modded high just because they kiss ass. Read what I posted before you try to interject with your half wit and simpleton logic.

  19. Grow some balls...... on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: -1, Troll

    It figures this mindless shit would get modded up. Don't ask a tough question or you will get modded down. Grow some balls you nutless moderator fuckers.

  20. Re:Where's Scotty? on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 0

    How in the fuck does this get modded up?

  21. Re:Build Team on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 0

    This mod is fucked up and definitely on topic. If they know that people hate this lame-o segment of the show, then maybe it could be a better show. It is mods like this that is making people turn from /. to other venues. Or did you miss that news story as well. It will probably show up sometime next year.

    Understand that you are only here because you have not been replaced with the next great thing.
    And yes /. was great.

  22. Build Team on Ask The Mythbusters · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Can you please get rid of the build team segments? These segments are annoying and I fast forward throught them anyway. I would really enjoy more actual show. Thanks!

  23. DashSlotted on World's Smallest MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    Apparently their server is hosted on one of these as well.

  24. What was he doing? on Florida Man Charged For Stealing Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    Do you think the guy was whacking it in his Chevy?
    This really would be an American Revolution
    Or was he just downloading to whack it later?

    Perhaps he was:
    Greasing the weasel
    Waxing the dolphin
    Choking his chicken
    Stroking the Ferret


    Did TFA mention if he had a mullet or not?

  25. Re:Open doors on Man Arrested for Using Open Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    Laws don't make piss poor analogies. People who attempt to interpret them do. The water hose analogy had us in the office laughing for hours. If anything, the mod should be for humor. The answer is that there is no right answer. Especially using the water hose analogy. I just hope no thirsty peole live around you.
