  1. Re:Even Canada is higher.. on China to Top U.S. in Broadband Subscribers · · Score: 1

    You -must- be talking about New Brunswick.

  2. Re:Even Canada is higher.. on China to Top U.S. in Broadband Subscribers · · Score: 3, Informative

    Ah. You have obviously heard about Canadians and their 'fat pipes' It's all true.

  3. Even Canada is higher.. on China to Top U.S. in Broadband Subscribers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Canada is higher than the US, per capita (which is what counts) I mean hell, our country is made up of lots of ice, mountains, and trees, and even our eskimos have a fat pipe!

  4. Re:Acquisition on Maui X-Stream at it Again? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    eTomi Pro does a similar thing. They say the software is free, but you have to pay to download it. It's like limewire, with a few UI tweaks (the sources for those changes weren't made available) I know people who've been jewed by etomi.

  5. The article isn't quite right.. on Apple Sued over Tiger, Injunction Sought · · Score: 3, Interesting

    [Tiger Direct] has used its family of Tiger trademarks to sell computers and computer related products since 1987
    They've only been going under Tiger Direct for a few years. They used to be known as Misco.

  6. And for those of us lacking depth perception? on 3D Flat Panel With No Glasses · · Score: 1

    My eyes don't like to look at the same thing at once, which is how depth is perceived. Is this another nifty 3D product that I won't be able to use?

    (Yes, I have lived my life without 3D movies, funky optical illusions, or Virtual Boy)

  7. What's missing, is.. on The Year In Ideas · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What's obviously missing is not having to register at nytimes! Come on guys, how hard of a concept is that?

  8. Re:Id hit it!! on Tablet Mac Becomes Reality · · Score: 1

    I honestly wish Apple would put out something like this. It would have the popularity of the iPod, as well as the usual power and sophistication you'd expect from a Mac. If anyone could shake up the tablet market, Apple could.

  9. More power to them on Microsoft and SBC Team Up on IPTV · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Why not throw lots of money trying to get into another market? It worked with the xbox. Maybe they'll have to get someone to make the best damn show ever exclusively for their... IPTV network..

  10. Re:You guys need to get a clue. on Halo 2 Reviews · · Score: 1

    I agree completely with you.
    I've played FPS games since ROTT, and I find Halo to be a really fun game, especially with a few friends. It's almost good enough for me to buy an xbox to play it.

    Some here have implied that it doesn't hold a match to the UT series, but I have to disagree. UT just doesn't cut it, and if you want to talk about new games feeling like mods on the old ones, we have UT2K3 and 4 to look at..

  11. I don't care what they do, as long as... on On-CPU Peltiers From AMD? · · Score: 2, Funny

    As long as someone rids the world of thermal paste, I will be happy. There has never been a more annoying substance that that crap.

  12. Re:Other Formats? on MP3 Going the Way of the 8-Track? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In all honesty, it seems that only nerds use the ogg vorbis codec, despite it being technically superior.

    You can search on a P2P network, and rarely see OGG files. It's sad, but true.

  13. Re:limit access to violent fiction... on Photo ID Required To Buy/Rent Games In Canada · · Score: 1

    IANAC, and I fail to see any valid points.

  14. Re:limit access to violent fiction... on Photo ID Required To Buy/Rent Games In Canada · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Why isn't the parent modded Troll, or Flamebait?

  15. More on this story on Does Shareware X-Chat for Windows Violate the GPL? · · Score: 1

    IRC-Junkie article on Xchat shareware Read more here, FreeNode #xchat is interesting too..

  16. Re:Different From The Old Days on Classroom Bullies On The Internet · · Score: 1

    You are completely correct in that.
    As this is slashdot, I am sure that many of us have at least thought about murdering the people who picked on us.

    Some of us have been arrested for plotting said murder. The rest of us just haven't been caught.

  17. Re:$199 on NVIDIA Gives Details On New GeForce 6 · · Score: 1

    The nearest figure given is $180 predicted in a comment on the article.

    But you know what happens when run through the slashdot filter...

  18. To rednecks everywhere on Soyuz To The Moon? · · Score: 1

    If you have no sense of adventure fine, don't stop the people who want more than back yard barbaques and NASCAR. Greatest. Post. Ever.

  19. Re:What kind of patents can a kernel have? on Linux Violates 283 Patents, says Insurance Company · · Score: 2, Informative

    It looks they are patents that haven't been litigated yet. I RTFA, I read the report. I have yet to see which patents they're referring to. Seems like a bunch of crap to me.

  20. I don't know about you.. on Stallman Pushes For Free BIOS · · Score: 1

    But wouldn't it be best for Stallman to lend a hand in finishing the GNU OS, instead of trying to shave a few seconds off of the time it takes to boot the damn thing up?

  21. Re:Allegedly threatening a DDoS attack? on British Authorities Nail Online Blackmailers · · Score: 1

    Nope, I only got probation.

  22. Re:Allegedly threatening a DDoS attack? on British Authorities Nail Online Blackmailers · · Score: 1

    All crimes are "alleged" until you're found guilty in court. This is not always true. In my hometown, a young man was charged with 'conspiracy to commit a criminal act' (he threatened to shoot up the school.) Through the whole ordeal, it was never an 'alleged' conspiracy, it was as if he was guilty until proven innocent.

  23. Allegedly threatening a DDoS attack? on British Authorities Nail Online Blackmailers · · Score: 3, Funny

    That can get you arrested? What if I 'allegedly threaten' to watch my sister change? Will I get arrested for being a pervert?
