    Well, for one thing, there's the people behind HD-DVD, who are sponsoring Digg.

    Bruce Willis is dead.

  5. Re:The true Obana makes a showing on Obama's MySpace Drama · · Score: 1

    Obama wasn't in Congress when the U SAP AT RIOT act was passed. Only one Senator voted against it, his name is Russ Feingold, and he's said that 1)he's not running and 2)he likes Obama.

  6. Re:They never admit defeat on DARPA Working on Spidey Sense for Soldiers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Really? So the successful hiring of clairvoyants by Police all over the world doesn't count?
    Can you give me an example of that outside of a television show?

    Primum, est Motionis Picturae Associatio Americae non Scriptionis* Musicae Associatio Americae.

    you mean like Slashdot?

    but anyways, "Land of the free? WHOEVER TOLD YOU THAT IS YOUR ENEMY!"

  9. Re:DRM is a lock on a plywood door on Censoring a Number · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's more like a balsa wood door.

  10. Re:Everything digital is a number on Censoring a Number · · Score: 1

    Yes, but very few of those things are 128 bits or less. All copyrights have length requirements--for example, the two little bits at the end of the Jeopardy tune are there because otherwise it wouldn't be more than 30 seconds long and would be uncopyrightable.

  11. Re:This is actually my HOPE for the future on Censoring a Number · · Score: 1

    The person who said "escort" meant "prostitute".

    Encryption is keeping Eve from reading the messages sent from Alice to Bob. DRM is the same thing, except that Eve and Bob are the same person.

    I notice how you call the fact that the majority of people insulting gays are in fact afraid "politically correct" because you can't call it wrong.

  15. Re:Choice Wins on Virtues of Monoculture, Or Why Microsoft Wins · · Score: 1

    Where did my gp mention Apple? You appear to be confused by the fact that Slashdot contains many members with different opinions. I'd suggest returning to corporate press release sites, those tend to have more homogenuity of opinion.

  16. Re:As in on Virtues of Monoculture, Or Why Microsoft Wins · · Score: 1

    The division caused by open source is actually pretty tame compared to the NIH-load of "standards" made during the pre-TCP days.

    OpenOffice has a spreadsheet program, and there's also gnumeric.

    Actually, one of the ideas I had for a spoof on those would involve a Hugo Weaving-type character as a beowulf cluster. "The best thing about being me is that there are so many of me"

    Macs don't have a Maximize button? If they don't let me use the full screen for what I want to use it for, I'm never going to go to Mac.

  25. Re:How about a link to the downloadable videos? on Novell/Linux Parody on Apple's Mac vs PC Ads · · Score: 1

    Apple's love of white reminds me of the Priors from SG-1. And considering the average Mac zealot, it's a pretty good comparison.
