  1. PSP Reviews I would like to read... on PSP Hardware Review Site · · Score: 0, Troll

    Here some reviews that will never be written that I would like to see.

    - The best SD cards (or Compact Flash) to use with your PSP (I'm not a big fan of Memory Stick)

    - The new Sony UMD attachment (which is necessary because the ideal PSP doesn't have UMD)

    - Internal hard drive upgrades for your PSP (A hard drive instead of UMD would have been really nice)

    I would definitely buy a PSP with SD or CF and a nice hard drive. Some great games would be nice too.

    What's scary is the patent for forcing people to read dupes. Whole lifetimes could be lost.

  5. Re:Does Apple have a Windows lab? on A Tour of Microsoft's Mac Lab · · Score: 1

    "And if they do, do other groups at Apple line up to use it?"

    I would imagine they have one to test Bootcamp.

    Unless you mean a lab filled with dells or something. The line between Mac and PC is not what it used to be.

  6. Re:How ironic... on A Tour of Microsoft's Mac Lab · · Score: 0

    "It looks like the Mac Business Unit alone is responsible for at least 1% out of Apple's 5% market share!"

    Why is that ironic? Microsoft is one of Apple's biggest investors.

    I can not stand by and allow you to use improper terminology. Clearly ">" is an alligator.

  8. Duel of the Fates on SAP vs. Oracle, Battle Royale · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Duel of the Fates was playing when I clicked onto Slashdot and saw this article.

    Strangely appropriate music for the article.

    So which one is Darth Maul? I say SAP because Darth Maul has horns and SAP is german.

  9. Re:Bush Whacked. on President Defends Global Outsourcing · · Score: 1

    How many of you are making more money because of all the people in America, who buy stuff that you produce?

    Now, how many of you know somebody who lost their job because of American competition?

    Based on that unscientific survey, I'd say that the Duke of Grafton is talking smack. The only people who really benefit from colonization are the business owners who can costs by firing British workers and replacing them with cheap labor and land in America. There may be more wealth, but it's all concentrated in a few hands.

    The Duke of Grafton can't understand what's it's like for an ordinary family to suffer the devastation of unemployment because he's never lived through it.

    -I think it is a little silly to fault the forces that made the American economy so amazing over the last two hundred years just because they start helping other countries too.

    It has the word iPod on it too. Two of those letters are vowels, which are pricey.

  14. Re:Just plug it in? on Beware the iPod 'slurping' Employee · · Score: 1

    Well the iPod is a crucial part of the plan. If you do this with something else then security might want to check what is on the drive and then you are busted. But with an iPod you just say, "Look my man, I am just chilling to the Postal Service with my iPod." Then the security guys will just be like, "Alright most cool dude, never mind. We apologize for interrupting your time of groove, have a good day." See, you have to think beyond the purely technical requirements to pull off a real steal. Peace.

  15. Re:So... on Ten Reasons to Buy Windows Vista · · Score: 1

    You can't make that joke anymore. Apple sells multi-button mice. 20 years late, but still.

  16. Re:My thoughts on British PC Tax to Replace TV License? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    See, your idea works if you look at purchasing power in absolute terms. However if you use a more relative approach, you would realize that under the current system rich people pay less for bread, milk, meat, cars, computers etc. than poor people do. In fact one could argue that not taking into account marginalism leads to a lot of less than optimal market outcomes. So while socialism is not a good option (in my opinion), capitalism is far from working as well as it might in the future.

    How long you have been somewhere and being "in" at somewhere are very different things. So UIDs are irrelevant. But your UID is very low, quite impressive.

  21. Re:120? on Super Bowl Footballs Get The DNA Touch · · Score: 1

    Good sir.

    If you are male, a quick self examination will indeed confirm that the average male has 2 balls.

    Hence 2 teams with 30 players each with 2 balls each is 120. Plus 1 is 121.

    ((2 * 30) * 2) + 1 = 121

    I assumed most people knew that men have two balls. So let me ask you? Where did you get your balls? Because if you have just one you may want to go back to the dealer and get that checked out. Your body may be a lemon, your state may have consumer protection laws that can help you out.

    Red Bull sponsors everything. I swear to god, I came home one day and my cat had a Red Bull logo painted on him. I asked him what was up and he said he needed the money because he was tired of eating god damn whiskas everyday.

    Well you figure 2 teams, 30 players each. Yeah it comes out to 120. No wait, you need a football, so 121.
