  1. Re:Not so unique... on Google Investors Find New Project · · Score: 1

    Cafepress: We do not currently offer the ability to sell dark colored garments or apparel, however, we are actively working on fulfilling this popular request.

    Zazzle does have a color picker, but I'm not sure if it's limited in some way. I would also like to note that zazzle was slow loading (but not slashdotted type slow loading) and fairly difficult to figure out what to click next.

  2. Re:So how is this going to kill fair use? on Intel Cutting Linux Out of Content Market · · Score: 1

    So does the monopoly role not play in this or are we letting them get away with yet another crime?

  3. Re:Zoidberg! on Shrimp Bandages Clot Blood Faster · · Score: 1

    At $100 per 4"x4" square?

  4. Re:If the terrorists want to kill you at 30k feet. on Flying the Wiretapped Skies · · Score: 1

    Or maybe you're a scientist studying the effects of plants under extreme temperatures.

    My personal theory is this: The line should stop when it starts to interfere with the subjects life in any way. Detainment is an obvious form of this, but things like cutting off your internet while they re-route packets to their servers or even causing the quality of your phone conversation is too far. (Usually it would make you repeat what you had to say, costing you time and minutes.

    Then again my theory on software piracy is that if they can steal it, I didn't do that part of my job right.

  5. Re:So basically. on EU Domain Registries & ICANN · · Score: 1, Funny

    EUCANT, because Europeans can't spell.

  6. Re:my experience with slash-dot on German Youth Convicted for Sasser Worm · · Score: 1

    You must be dating guys who have numbers above a million. Any self respecting slashdotter would first focus on Open Office.

  7. Re:That's Easy To Say on Gates Says No to Implants · · Score: 1

    Heh before speak recognition we need some decent mic/card pairs. The one's that are most popular are no better than a 900 MHz phone.

  8. Re:In other News US won't give up Alaska or Texas on U.S. Won't Let Go of DNS · · Score: 1

    Here's a quick question for those people who think the US government shouldn't control the Root DNS servers: When is the last time that they failed?

  9. Re:Random Thoughts: on Next-Gen Console CPUs Not Up to Hype · · Score: 5, Informative

    The revolution is for you. Not only are nintendo games known for being popular around kids, but the Revolution will have downloadable classics that ran on old systems.

  10. Re:natural light on Space Ring Could Combat Global Warming · · Score: 1

    You know I wouldn't mind that too much, I'm good at voice acting.

  11. Re:Lets get the facts straight on Felony Charges For H.S. Hacking · · Score: 1

    The students actually have to get a paper signed if they are going to work in the "tech support work study" or whatever it's called. It basically says you may not abuse your administrative privliges blah blah." My school is very illiterate with computers. You used to be able to netsend everyone in the network. Now if you do it they run in "OK who's computer X12." Of coarse most of the student body already knows how to change the computer name.

  12. Re:Artists on RIAA Supporting Commercial P2P · · Score: 1

    It's doubtfull the RIAA will approve of this, but wouldn't this be able to server as a medium for artists to publish their music directly? There's no more high distribution costs, so it makes more sense to slowly phase the recording industry to a minimum.

  13. Re:Indeed, this is the free market at work. on DoubleClick Warns Against Ad-Blocking Browsers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Well it will also lead to innovations in new types of ads. I personally don't block google ads because not only are they lightweight and unobtrusive, but many times I find relivent information. Innovations need to come from comprimises, not from force like charging to view a web page.

  14. Re:Stop using Hotmail on Hotmail To Junk Non-Sender-ID Mail · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've been using GMail for over a year now and Not one message has been wrongfully marked spam, and the only spam that slipped through was anit-microsoft spam (curious no?).

  15. Re:Still a little bit expensive on Legal Music Downloads At 35%, Soon To Pass Piracy · · Score: 0

    But that's exactly what the RIAA is doing, only their doing it the suit&tie way.

  16. Re:something's not adding up on Legal Music Downloads At 35%, Soon To Pass Piracy · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's actually 42%, they just won't admit it. Never be known the reasons will.

  17. Re:Bah.. on Legal Music Downloads At 35%, Soon To Pass Piracy · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Yarr, thair just cleaning the poop deck.

  18. Re:Why upgrade now? on Apple Moves to All Dual-Processor Power Mac Lineup · · Score: 1

    I actaully find compiling the linux version of a program is faster than running an installer of the same program on windows. It's just the whole difficult to find menu editor that's a pain.

  19. Re:3 hours of tech support = new computer on Tech Support Businesses on the Rise · · Score: 2, Informative

    Best buy salary is pretty high, a manager of a store was impressed by my t0t4l l337 linux knowledge (I know how to use it). I believe he said something between $14 and $16 an hour.

  20. Re:Nature/Tech on How To Balance Life And Technology For Kids? · · Score: 5, Funny

    You bring up a few good points. Infact 9 months prior to delivery I am going to order a weight set from 1 gram to 500 kg, and my child WILL be trained to lift a car with his/her mind.

  21. Re:Excellent news on Big Retailers Timid About Selling Linux Boxen · · Score: 1

    I've noticed most mac fanatics being a bit humbler towards me since the release of OSX.

  22. Re:I'm all for science/technology/astronomy but... on Back to Moon in 2015? · · Score: 1

    Let's just hope there are no algea eating bugs on mars.

  23. Re:Geek persecution on Tokyo's Geek Ghetto · · Score: 1

    I have absolutly no expirience in geek discrimination, so many of these stories I think are either told to me wrong or that the guy who did the shootings was insane. I am a geek and a student (Freshman in highschool) myself, I use linux (unless I play games (it wasn't my idea to get a Radeon)), however there is no violence to me. This may be because I am far from alone in my interests. The local Computer Game LAN Shack is one of the most popular places.

    I also add that there is one girl in our entire group of friends (about 30).

  24. Re:oh yeah?! on DARPA Announces 2005 Grand Challenge Semifinalists · · Score: 1

    That sounds pretty sweet. I thought I was the only one who hooked up a solor panel to my Mindstorms RCX (I asked around). Gauss Rifle sounds pretty freakin sweet too, of coarse lugging that around will make your mindstorm go pretty slow.

  25. Re:This != Global warming on Arctic Warming Drying Up Lakes · · Score: 1

    I have a question since your a geoligist or whatnot. If global warming really is happening, why is it still 60 degrees in New York City on June 05? That's colder than I can remember.
