  2. grep on Why MS is Not Opening More Source Code · · Score: 5, Funny

    /* The word 'fuck' is here so you can grep for it */

  3. Re:You should promote your value to the company! on Helping IT Save Money ... and Jobs? · · Score: 1

    This post may be a little too buzzword friendly for the average slashdotter, but it's good advice.

  4. Re:Outsourced Ourselves on Helping IT Save Money ... and Jobs? · · Score: 2

    The Phillipines, the Czech Republic, and Romania.

  5. POWER OVERWHELMING on Archon to be Revived · · Score: 3, Funny

    Where'd they get the Templar Archives? As far as I know, humanity has not yet made contact with the Protoss.

  6. Re:WTF is Boxen? on EFF's Logfinder · · Score: 1

    Box rhymes with ox. The plural of ox is oxen, so the plural of box is boxen.

    Mysteriously, admins don't seem use "mouses", or "hice", or "meese" (plural of moose)

    (Of course, then there's the ones who will vehemently argue that "its" is not a word because special cases are bad and "it's" is the proper possessive)

  7. Re:50 years later on The Birth of Electronic Music · · Score: 1

    no, there is definitely NOT a need for something that specific.

    crikey, genrefication and pigeonholing is bad enough when there is no set guide.

  8. Re:Gee on Apple's Focus is Still Software · · Score: 1

    maybe it wasn't ready for market BY APPLE? i had a registered copy of soundjam, mostly for the shoutcast streamer, but i remember it being crashy and SLOW

  9. Re:50 years later on The Birth of Electronic Music · · Score: 1

    nobody ever cared about 303s? somebody tell richie hawtin and hardfloor that they haven't been selling records.

    run dmc were real big in the gay house scene, yup.

    crunk is 10% hook, 90% marketing. it'll become completely useless, passe, and self-parodying within 3 years max

  10. Re:the true origins on The Birth of Electronic Music · · Score: 1

    the original guide had a big gold star on ghetto teech that said "BEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD"

  11. Re:ive always loved digital music.. gogo techno ty on The Birth of Electronic Music · · Score: 1

    jazz never got stale. you just apparently stopped listening.

  12. Re:JMJ on The Birth of Electronic Music · · Score: 1

    wrong, that was jan hammer.

  13. Re:electro on The Birth of Electronic Music · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the European Italo-disco that Saunderson and co. listened to for inspiration. :)

  16. Re:50 years later on The Birth of Electronic Music · · Score: 1

    that's cause the shit was cheap after getting killed in the marketplace.

    now that it's fashionable and overplayed rap artsts steal it. fuck crunk.

  17. Re:electro on The Birth of Electronic Music · · Score: 2, Insightful

    and all these guys ripped off kraftwerk in the beginning...

    why do you have carl craig on there twice?

    Same ole drum machines, plenty of samplers, yadda yadda.

    lil jon even stole our 303s!

  19. Re:Wot? No Theremin? on The Birth of Electronic Music · · Score: 1

    I can't find any music, but think of being stuck in a room with 10 machines all beating at a different rhythm, different tune, and none of the beats work with the beats of another machine, or running forks against garbage can lids.

    sounds almost as entertaining as a nau zee aun performance involving bench grinders and sparks flying into the audience

  20. Re:50 years later on The Birth of Electronic Music · · Score: 3, Informative

    some other stuff (some of it FOR FREE mind you)
    -another mp3 store

    -thinnerism/autoplate, TWO netlabels
    -Archive.org's netlabel page, more techno than you could possibly consume in a lifetime!
    -313 discussion list
    -who is what and who

  21. Re:Gee on Apple's Focus is Still Software · · Score: 2, Informative

    soundstep is the company that made soundjam. c&g was just the publisher.

  22. Re:Wot? No Theremin? on The Birth of Electronic Music · · Score: 2, Informative

    Can't find much information skimming through that link. Are you sure you don't mean the futurists? Luigi Russolo for example.

  23. Re:50 years later on The Birth of Electronic Music · · Score: 4, Informative

    listen a little closer. electronic music is a vast, complex maze of styles.

    -underground resistance

    uh dude, have you SEEN sesame street? MINDblowing

  25. Re:"I have several German friends who are..." on Hardware Reuse Contest Entries Revealed · · Score: 1

    In Germany one is hard-pressed to find a radio station that plays anything else than the American mass-produced pop crap. Germans nowadays use a lot of English words and grammatical constructs, as if the German language is incapable of expressing these things.

    This is not unique to Germany. France has been the same way for several years. About half the movies in theaters at any given time are English-language, and probably American. I heard Eminem and plenty of other American music all over Italian radio (nobody in France that I talked to had heard of Tool for some reason). Friends, The Simpsons, and Married with Children have all been shown on European TV.
