  1. News? on 'Sith' Already Found Online · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I've yet to find a blockbuster movie that isn't readily available on the net after it opens, but somehow this is still news. It's still usually worth shelling out the cash to see a version that isn't fuzzy with garbled sound, though.

    Then don't post it, idiot. Geez.

  2. Re:BitTornado. The difference? on Trackerless BitTorrent Beta Posted · · Score: 2, Informative

    BitTornado is just a client, that uses the underlying technology of BitTorrent, created by Bram Cohen. ABC, BitTornado, Azureus, etc.. are all clients that use the BT technology.

  3. GPL? on Could Microsoft Buy Red Hat? · · Score: 1, Funny

    If Microsoft bought Red Hat, wouldn't this mean that Microsoft would be under the GPL when it comes to releasing software?

  4. Quiet! on OpenBSD Hackathon Approaching · · Score: 1

    "a few hackathons ago we had a slogan of 'shut up and hack', this is because hackathons are not conferences. People don't come to chit-chat, but to do what projects do. Some other projects hold discussion meetings, I would call those talkathons. We don't discuss, we do."

    Alright...zip it! Zip it! Ziiiiiip! Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury...E-zip-it A When a problem comes along, you must zip it! Zip it good! Would you like a suckle on my Zipple?

  10. Not a movie! on Cassini Confirms New Moon of Saturn · · Score: 1, Informative

    It's not a movie! Geez! It's an animated GIF image!

  11. Re:I can't wait!!! on Self-Replicating Robots · · Score: 1

    What are you going to do when it doesn't pay up? Bitch slap it? Hmmm, maybe that's why they put those stickers on there, warning you to not put your hand near the blade...

  12. Heh on Driver's-Seat Driving Game Controller · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Screw that, drive a REAL car. There's nothing like a cool, crisp day, with the wind blowing in your hair, as you shift to 5th gear, going over 70 MPH.

  13. Re:BE CAREFUL on Apple Patents Tablet Mac (with Photos) · · Score: 1

    Why don't you just re-install the OS and keep your Mac?

  14. Using Tiger on Apple Patents Tablet Mac (with Photos) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Tiger (10.4) has a built-in feature that allows you to rotate the screen.

    Go the the System Preferences and then hold down the option key while you click the Displays button. You will see a pulldown thats labeled "Rotate". Select it and you will see your screen rotate.

  15. Hmmm on Apple Patents Tablet Mac (with Photos) · · Score: 0

    Microsoft is so proud of the fact that their the only one's with a Tablet PC market. Now I wonder if they'll shut up for once about it...

    ...nah, probably not.

  16. That'll teach them... on Wired Amends Stories With Fabricated Quotes · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...from hiring people that previously worked for the New York Times.

  19. Re:Thanks Slashdot! on Malicious Web Pages Can Install Dashboard Widgets · · Score: 1

    That ZIP file could have been anything, like vbs, batch, etc..I'm smart enough not to open stuff like that, but there are a lot of people that aren't. Also, I don't like stuff download to my computer without my knowledge (like what happened). So it's not the ZIP file I'm worried about, it's the ease it took to get it there. And I'm running Firefox 1.0.3, too.

  20. Thanks Slashdot! on Malicious Web Pages Can Install Dashboard Widgets · · Score: 1, Funny

    Nothing happened to me (I'm running XP at the moment), but there's a friggin ZIP file sitting on my desktop. OK, time to bring out my tin foil hat! And to the /. editors, don't link to shit like that, damn! That's just common sense.

  21. Use Google! on How to Leave a Job on Good Terms? · · Score: 5, Funny

    You could have risked it and put in your name, his name, and the company's name. Then, wait about a week or so, and then tell him to search Google for either of those 3 terms, and watch his face in horror as the number one result is a bunch of geeks are talking about kicking him in the nuts.

  22. White? So What! on Live Picture of the Next Xbox · · Score: 1

    So what if Apple makes products that are primarily white? Does that mean that Apple has a copyright to the color white, and any company besides Apple that tries to color a product "white" is horrible? I guess you'll have to exit /. since it's background color is white. And according to everyone, white is Apple.

  23. Wow on Microsoft to Attack RIM with Magneto · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    So they renamed their products...wow. What, is this supposed to make them "cooler"?

  24. Re:Let them fix it first on New Mozilla Firefox 1.0.3 Exploit · · Score: 1

    In the case of Firefox, it's an Open Source development, so there is no real "company" per say to tell, so it's much better to get the code in the hands of the development community for Firefox, so that more people can work on trying to fix it.

  25. If I'm not mistaken... on From Carnivore to Herbivore · · Score: 1

    ...I believe humans fit into this category, too.
