  1. Re:Something else... on The Mismatched 'MythBusters' · · Score: 2, Funny

    Explosions bring everyone together!

  2. Re:Let me be the first to answer... on Microsoft Launches the Zune · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The Zune is going to have a music process even worse than that of the iPod. This is Microsoft we're talking about here.

  3. Re:Of Course! on Linux Desktop Ready, Says Mainstream Media · · Score: 1

    Why would a composer have to worry about computer keys?

  4. Re:IE not so important... on Slashdot Discussion2 In Beta · · Score: 1

    1. This is a beta.
    2. He's following standards.

  5. Re:Define hypocrisy on Slashdot Discussion2 In Beta · · Score: 1

    Acid2 does not mean that the browser is magically fully compliant. It means that it supports a lot of edge cases.

  6. Re:k now define "common denominator" on Slashdot Discussion2 In Beta · · Score: 1

    Read the summary/article. He said that two-thirds of us use Firefox.

  7. Re:This is a comment. on Slashdot Discussion2 In Beta · · Score: 1

    Indeed.

  8. Re:The imporant question at M$ on Microsoft Launches the Zune · · Score: 1

    Windows costs two hundred dollars. Office's price is in the hundreds range as well. I have a feeling that the Zune will barely cost less than the iPod, and there are already non-iPod players and there have been non-iPod players for a while.

  9. Re:Let me be the first to answer... on Microsoft Launches the Zune · · Score: 0, Troll

    Microsoft's main customer has always been the business. Individuals don't really care about Microsoft. They do care about Apple. Businesses are the other way around, but businesses have no reason to care about a music player.

  10. Re:You again! on Blue Screen of Death for Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Yes. Are you moronic, by any chance? That would explain a lot.

  11. Re:Banning a book is ok! on Banned Books published by Google · · Score: 1

    An Alabama law banned all books that showed homosexuality in anything but a negative light. But that has nothing to do with the War on Some Terror(tm)

  12. Re:I don't see how they are banned books... on Banned Books published by Google · · Score: 1

    So you're saying you actually read Playboy for the articles?

    a better console controller for a FPS
    If consoles had trackballs that would be it.
  14. Re:In Other News on QTFairUse6 Updated Hours After iTunes7 Release · · Score: 1

    The GPL uses copyright law to prevent greed. DRM uses copyright law to force greed. See the difference?

  15. Re:You again! on Blue Screen of Death for Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Yes, I'm a clear thinker and therefore immune to the Reality Distortion Field. Those who are fully under the effect of the Field think they're "creative" and call those with logic "brickheaded literalists".

  16. Re:DRM has no place in the free market. on QTFairUse6 Updated Hours After iTunes7 Release · · Score: 1

    Believe it or not, I can barely hear the difference.

  17. Re:solution in search of a problem on Could a Reputation System Improve Wikipedia? · · Score: 1
    I think it is important to understand that not all acts of destruction are in fact mindless - some are legitimate protests.
    Doesn't mean they're not still problems.
  18. Re:Yeah, whatever... on Avatars Need Personal Space Too · · Score: 1

    Or a female on Slashdot... (no, I am not one)

  19. Re:Hidden? on Blue Screen of Death for Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    The last time I had a BSOD(on Win2000) was when I was upgrading my computer by basically moving my HDD and monitor into a new one. Linux ran(although due to my custom kernel not having the drivers for the new network card it couldn't load the network) but Windows BSoD'd until I reinstalled it.(I reinstalled Linux as well, but to get amd64 support)

  20. Re:Well on the upside on Blue Screen of Death for Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Except you usually don't die when you get a BSoD...systems that could kill you usually run something embedded.

  21. Re:Troll Umbral Blot at it Again. on Blue Screen of Death for Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    The BSoD is much less common on 2000 and XP. Instead it just has a bunch of nasty DLL errors that require a reinstall.

  22. Re:reason No 11: on Gaming Platform of Choice - Console · · Score: 1

    Most of that hardware would probably be old stuff that would be trashed if you had to use Windows but can be placed to good use on Linux, if it's running past a certain amount of time it's probably going to continue running :)

  23. Re:So PC means no Mac? on Spore to be PC Only, For Now · · Score: 1

    But as I said, that's Tiberian Dawn, which was not produced by EA, but by Westwood, and originally distributed by Virgin.

  24. Re:flexiblity on Interview with Star Trek Online's Design Director · · Score: 1

    Your wish, Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment's command. There was even a Slashdot article on it a while back.

    The Air Force for the very simple reason that they own the SGC.
