  1. Re:nVidia CAN'T OPEN SOURCE DRIVERS on Root Exploit For NVIDIA Closed-Source Linux Driver · · Score: 1

    They could contribute to the existing open-source drivers though. They did that with forcedeth.

  2. Re:Tinfoil too tight? on Boot Linux, BSD, and OS X from Vista · · Score: 1

    Actually, I think the Killers are selling on iTunes, and he's actually referring to their new album or something.

  3. Re:You wanna know what's wrong wtih the industry?? on What's Wrong With the Games Industry · · Score: 1

    Not to mention Zelda: Generic Magic Object. But that's Nintendo so it doesn't count in the minds of Wii fanboys.
    (I actually don't mind sequels and remakes the way the Slashdot crowd seems to hate them. I liked the Matrix sequels more than the original. I just could never get into Zelda. Let Zelda Die.)

  4. Re:easy on What's Wrong With the Games Industry · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Nintendo

  5. Re:I find this quite funny on Jobs Unfazed by Zune · · Score: 1

    Not with the Zune. Let's suppose you give her some song she really likes. Too bad she can only play it three times.

  6. Re:The sky is falling! on Jobs Unfazed by Zune · · Score: 1

    It's a homophobic joke. Metrosexuality and all that I guess.

  7. Re:Incredible Speaker on Jobs Unfazed by Zune · · Score: 1

    Squirt, that's dumber.

  8. Re:Funny, but... on Yellow Dog Linux v5.0 for PS3 Announced · · Score: 1

    I usually don't like homophobic jokes but I'm strangely compelled to make a joke about Mac users and homosexuality...

  9. Re:Y'know... on Judge Clears Bully For Publishing · · Score: 1

    Don't you know? You magically become mature when you turn thirteen!

  10. Re:You did not see that game... on Judge Clears Bully For Publishing · · Score: 1

    Negative forty.

  11. I like V-Chip for a completely different reason on Judge Clears Bully For Publishing · · Score: 2, Funny

    Because when those little white or black squares show up in the top left corner, it means you should hit play on your DVR because the commercials are over.

  12. Re:First amendment. on Judge Clears Bully For Publishing · · Score: 1

    More importantly, how does a judge restrain a Prior?

  13. Re:It gives visibility to the GPL on Should the GPL be Used as a Click-Wrap? · · Score: 1

    Until somebody makes a proprietary version with feature X that is hard to duplicate in your "truly free" software, everybody wants feature X, everybody moves to the proprietary version, overall freedom goes down.

  14. Re:It gives visibility to the GPL on Should the GPL be Used as a Click-Wrap? · · Score: 1

    But it lacks feature X, and the proprietary version has feature X, and feature X is hard to duplicate, and everybody wants feature X.

  15. Re:Finally ! on Wikipedia Goes Mobile · · Score: 1

    Considering that it's a file on your hard drive and still under the GFDL, yes.

  16. Re:Quantities on French Scientists Link Higher BMI with Lower IQ · · Score: 1

    Replace quantity with variable or concept or something then.

  17. Re:Jokes! on French Scientists Link Higher BMI with Lower IQ · · Score: 1

    And that the Russians bought the same space pen from the same company. That was the only thing that bothered me about "Man of the Year". That he did that joke. It also cost very little to the guy who actually made it, and only about three dollars a pen to NASA and the Russians.

  18. Re:It measures something on French Scientists Link Higher BMI with Lower IQ · · Score: 1

    Nope, I'm skinny and smart(at least, smart in the ways the IQ test measures) and I don't like either number because those are quantities that can't be measured in one number.

  19. Re:But what's your suggestion? on French Scientists Link Higher BMI with Lower IQ · · Score: 1

    A suggestion I heard was ratio of fat weight over muscle weight. Don't know how to calculate that though.

  20. Re:Gee look, another Mensa supporter on French Scientists Link Higher BMI with Lower IQ · · Score: 1

    A geek strap is the things that allow you to hang a USB stick around your neck.

  21. Re:IQ means nothing... on French Scientists Link Higher BMI with Lower IQ · · Score: 1

    IQ is designed to be a standard distribution. The mean and the median are the same.

  22. Re:Firefly, WELL, USENET on Friendster's Rise and Fall · · Score: 2, Funny

    Didn't that show get canceled?

  23. Re:Great quote on The eBook, Mark 2 · · Score: 1

    I've had only good experiences with Sony. Every pair of Sony headphones I have used beat out every pair of non-Sony headphones I have used, a Sony Walkman CD player continued to work after constant abuse(it stopped working when I took it apart to see what was inside and accidentially broke off the motor), and the non-Sony HDTV upstairs was so broken that my dad had to go to the CEO to get his money back, and we bought a Sony, that works perfectly. I also haven't had any rootkit problems.

  24. Re:They do too have DRM! on The eBook, Mark 2 · · Score: 1

    Unreliable for large amounts of data.

  25. Re:Wait! on New Stephen Hawking Movie in the Works · · Score: 1

    His original voice was American and he got attached to it so even though he could change he doesn't want to.
