  1. Re:Wow, there's a shocker. on Bush Backed Spying On Americans · · Score: 1

    FDR packed the supreme court and installed himself for an unprecedented 3rd time. Talk about abuse of power.

    Read up on history a bit; there were no limits to how long a single person could remain in cumbency for. The 22nd Amendment was ratified years after his presidency which established the two terms and up to ten years of incumbency limit.

  2. Re:Palpatine loses one on Bush Backed Spying On Americans · · Score: 1

    The non-American English usage of 's' instead of 'z' in words that typically end in -ze (or -se) before being conjugated.

  3. Re:Sounds like they just got the idea from a movie on Journey Towards The Center of the Earth · · Score: 1

    20 or 30 k that is. That, and they'd have to be able to provide torque to combat the angular momentum of the iron.

  4. Re:Sounds like they just got the idea from a movie on Journey Towards The Center of the Earth · · Score: 1

    Just to let you know, even those 6 nukes wouldn't realistically provide enough momentum to change the momentum of a metric shitload of liquid iron. I'm guessing it'd be somewhere above 20 or 30...
    Besides, when the relational momentum of said magma changes its direction, it should only affect where the exact locations of the Earth's magnetic poles are.

  5. Re:Piracy on After Brief Respite Music Industry Slump Deepens · · Score: 1

    Unless you feel ok in spending twice the money for an iPod.

    You mean I wasn't paying that much already?

  6. Re:Those who do not understand allagories. on Microsoft Pitches LUA Security Repository · · Score: 1

    Aren't kernel releases like 2.6.14-4 a Debian and other distro maintainers sort of thing to do? Or is this done by the official Torvalds&co team?

  7. Re:Adobe on Microsoft Pitches LUA Security Repository · · Score: 1

    Back in ye olden days of Windows 9x, there wasn't an available multi-user concept featured in Unix for at least 25+ years at the time. When win9x went away in favour of a Windows NT kernel and environment, the multi-user environment was a completely new concept to hundreds of inexperienced programmers. To this day, several commonly-used programs still depend on Administrator access due to its development under an originally single-user environment or out of plain ignorance/stupidity.

  8. Re:Well, that depends. on What Makes a Good Web Font · · Score: 1
    I like how you made the coloured boxes around everything. I do that only for the comments page (makes it easier to determine where threads start and end).

  9. Re:One question I have on Blu-ray Coming Out On Top? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I guess you didn't notice, but the point behind Sony's tactics here is to provide an extremely fragile media so that you'll both not be able to back up your videos due to draconian DRM and you'll end up rebuying your videos every time they fuck up.

  10. Re:$25-$75 billion on IPv6 Transition to Cost US $75 Billion? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Damn Mexicans and their cheap infrastructure upgrades...

  11. Re:So report me! on BitComet Banned From Private Trackers · · Score: 1

    What a liar; that guy at 127.0.0.1 only has about 80 gigs of porn and not really any movies! Ah well, nice taste in porn anyway...

  12. Re:Changing BitComet's User-Agent on BitComet Banned From Private Trackers · · Score: 1

    Consequently, BitComet is one of the few BT clients that isn't open source (and is also Windows-only due to that). The Lone Wolf programmer who makes freeware is advised to make it open source either via copyleft GPL or even something like the modified BSD license. If BC was open source, I'm sure that someone experienced in programming for BT would be able to submit a patch to fix that issue.

  13. Re:How Much you wanna bet... on Xooglers - Google Discussed by Ex-Googlers · · Score: 1

    I doubt Google would try to /. their own servers...

    Besides, Slashdot is more likely to be /.ed than Google ever would be.

  14. Re:News? on Xooglers - Google Discussed by Ex-Googlers · · Score: 1

    What the hell kind of patent is that? Every patent I've ever seen has had 100+ claims, and most of them will link back to a previous claim (usually a common claim or the one previous to it).

  15. Uh, not really. on Zone-Spoofing Fixed for IE 7 Home Users · · Score: 1

    Neither Finder nor Nautilus provide web access. Konqueror is more of a suite of programs (file manager + web browser), but it's also far more secure than IE.

  16. Re:democracy? no... on EFF Sues NC Election Board · · Score: 1

    How do you know it's dead? You might have killed it by asking who he voted for.

  17. Re:I call a minor BS on MPAA Gives Film About Ratings an NC-17 Rating · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My guess is that anyone who's opinion would matter doesn't know what hentai is and the difference between that and normal anime.

  20. Re:Wow. on Free Wi-fi Prompts BellSouth to Withdraw Donation · · Score: 1

    That must've sucked. Up here in Chicago, there has to be at least 4 or 5 major telcos, and dozens of mobile phone telcos.

  21. Re:Computer cases! on Car Paint Changes With Temperature · · Score: 1

    Add a fan? I think you mean `change the liquid helium cooling system'.

  22. Re:What will happen to the Netscape Divison ? on Time Warner To Be Split Into Four Parts? · · Score: 1

    After they acquired mozilla.com? I mean, sure, `grep -R ns mozilla/' to see how nearly every class and template in the source is prefixed with `ns', so yeah, the Netscape roots still continue to exist.

  23. Re:I hope our youth likes giving away their rights on The MySpace Generation · · Score: 1

    No, but I've read some of the more commonly used ones (not just when the GPL, MPL, or another free license that I've read before is used as an "EULA") and seen where this sort of shit goes haywire.

    Yes, I need to get a life...

  24. Re:Give it a try. on Edubuntu - Linux For Young Human Beings! · · Score: 1

    I haven't written an article, but I think I might one day (I've written about far more pointless things before). The main good points are applications (e.g. amaroK, all the system-related and utilty-related packages, Konqueror (although I prefer Firefox), etc.), maturity (actually has plenty of toolkit-related things working very well, no need for an old Qt to be used to make a bunch of apps look like ass like GTK1 does), usability, cleanliness, and several more things.

  25. Re:Careful where you stick that thing on The MySpace Generation · · Score: 1

    Other than the words `friend' and `she' being used in the same context on Slashdot, your post is either a load of shit or a sad reminder of what a cesspool myspace is...
