I'm sure people buy the iPod Nano because it's Completely Remastered.
Hell, that's why I'd buy one (well, I'd actually get the 80 GB video iPod model since they're finally selling something I can totally dig spending $350 on).
Funny, because according to my copy of Title 17 USC, the word "theft" only appears once, and it is used in the context of physical theft. "Steal", "stolen", etc., do not even appear. I don't even think the word "intellectual property" is used outside the name of a couple relevant bills that amend 17 USC.
I thought the MPAA/RIAA were just lawyers; what kind of lawyers go and use words that don't have legal clout? Legalese was invented for a reason, folks!
At least most of the/etc files have man pages (at least in Debian); if you want to understand the registry settings for anything, good luck finding documentation (no, random google searches don't count as documentation).
Does anyone know anything about OS X's kernel? First of all, its name is "XNU", not "Darwin" (Darwin is more analogous to GNU). Secondly, XNU is a hybrid kernel; that is, it does some things monolithically (which is currently based on FreeBSD's kernel, but was originally based on 4.3BSD's kernel) and other things microkernel-y (which is based on Mach). Hardware drivers are written for user space (microkernel stuff), so that's one improvement you'd likely notice if a driver crashed: the kernel doesn't panic like in Windows. More info at Wikipedia.

Man, PS is at like 9.0 now (CS2); get with the picture. ;p
I don't know how good its latest png-crushing is as I haven't used Photoshop in a while.
Yep, that's Magus; the only person who runs by floating diagonally that I've ever seen...
I think you pronounce it like "tune". You know, the whole fucking reason why it's called "Zune"...
They didn't mention that in the article. I'm so totally in now! ;p
It's called "SMS" according to all the cell phones I've ever owned...
Are you implying that if radio waves were a high enough frequency, you'd be able to hear light? I don't get it...
(Radios work via inductors; the light does some science magic with the electrons)

Someone needs to make a Firefox extension that automatically replaces "loose" with "lose" on Slashdot. Or at least a Greasemonkey script.

Too bad that site is like 99% gay porn.
That's why you use "Save for Web" in Adobe Photoshop; it basically pngcrush's it.
When [and if] APNG gets accepted into the normal PNG standard, anything using libpng will have support for APNG pretty much automatically.
I can answer #5! They do one small thing, and then our politicians do the rest by removing our liberty!
Exactly! This is why countries like Japan, Korea, et al. get their Gigabit connections for $20/month, and we get asynchronous crap for triple that.
Lawyers != corporations
Corporations can always hire more lawyers...
I remember someone mentioning that WGA thinks WINE is genuine...
Sorry, but the abbreviation for Firefox is "Fx" according to the Firefox developers; thanks for playing.
A used Xbox?
A true geek would get a damn notebook instead of a desktop. I do all my computing in bed now!
Since 1/0 doesn't equal zero (a successful run), the program just spits an error. :)
Eh, I was just being nitpicky because it seems like 95% of Slashdot doesn't know the difference.
First it was fud, then it was notfud, then it was notnotfud, and now it's notnotnotfud! God I hate that acronym now...

Hello, Francine Dee? Tits that galactic can't be natural.
