  1. Re:I'm pissed. on Grand Theft Auto Led Teen to Kill · · Score: 1

    The idea is interesting, naturally there'll be a lot of extenuating circumstances and special cases, what if it's a divorce w/joint custody but the father only has 2 days and the mother 5? Anyway, you might want to move the lower age to 7 I believe. If someone could find a study that demonstrates the minimum age in which someone can appreciate their actions.

  2. Re:Copied Music on Napster Has Been Cracked · · Score: 1

    Tisk, tisk, we all know it's "all your base are belong to us."

    Jeez, if you're going to purposefully talk about bad grammar, make sure its bad grammar.

  3. Re:What?! on Tech Oscars Awarded · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Like the commercial says, "there's always room for clevage." Or is that jello? Or perhaps both...

  4. Re:Sounds like... on Linux-Based Cat Feeder · · Score: 4, Informative

    Don't be ashamed to say it:
    It's red dwarf. www.reddwarf.co.uk

  5. Re:Portable code on Migrate Win32 C/C++ Applications to Linux · · Score: 1
    "its too dependant on specific libraries."


    Why do you think Microsoft loves providing all those DLLs?

  6. Re:It makes me wonder... on College Students Turn Away From Landlines · · Score: 1
    " how many students still have books today?"


    Too many, because everyone's too lazy to scan a book into a pdf and sell it for $5 to other students.

  7. Re:iHole? on Simulation Explains Supermassive Black Holes · · Score: 1

    I'd bet something like iHole has already been trademarked by another industry.

  8. Re:Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition on Los Alamos Missing Disks Never Existed · · Score: 1

    Yep, and there's a Battlestar Galactica episode that deals with this too, but not only does it condemn witch hunts, where there is no actual enemy, it takes care to point out that even with terrorism, witch hunts are still unwarrented.

  9. Re: mistyped slashdot url on The Typo Millionaires · · Score: 1

    Of course now you're *completely* screwing up their data.

  10. Re:Fortunately... on The Typo Millionaires · · Score: 1

    Sadly, my hands aren't transparent, so I can't see the whole keyboard and use it at the same time.

  11. Re:There is no news here... on Image Causes Exploitable Overflow in Microsoft Products · · Score: 1
    "embrace and extend"

    That's microsoft lingo for, "bend over, it's getting hard."

  12. Re:Before anyone goes off bashing MS... on Image Causes Exploitable Overflow in Microsoft Products · · Score: 1
    "I wonder though why Microsoft didn't update to a newer version of libPNG..."

    ...because it lets someone find the vulnerability, report it, and microsoft can blame open source software! Of course if you want to believe that, you also have to believe Microsoft is cleaver.

  13. Re:Man vs. Machine on PC Users Fight Distractions to Work · · Score: 1
    "are what humans often require - a quick brak."

    So THAT's why the show was so popular!

  14. Re:This won't work on Students and Bodies Tracked Via RFID Tags · · Score: 1

    Until the age of 18, students rights are already severely curtailed. This is just more of the same.

  15. Re:SCOX pre-trading down on Judge Slams SCO's Lack of Evidence · · Score: 1

    With a ticker name like that, they're wide open for a lot of puns. Especially if that S stands for something, and the last letters are a word...

  16. Re:For fuck's sake! on FreeBSD Announces Contest To Replace Daemon Logo · · Score: 1

    This is almsot as bad as the people who wanted to rename the "master/slave" setup on computer hardware. http://www.iscifistory.com/forums/forum/topic.asp? TOPIC_ID=482&#3611 (can't find the real story)

  17. Re:I nominate on FreeBSD Announces Contest To Replace Daemon Logo · · Score: 1

    I'd like to call that slashporn, but that'd give me a mental image of Friday the 13th.

  18. Re:The Moon: A Ridiculous Liberal Myth on Panoramic Photos From The Apollo Missions · · Score: 1

    That was incredibly STUPID.
    But if you *really* wanted to prove the moon existed a long time ago, how about the fossils that prove the earth's day was less than 12 hours long and that only the moon could explain the gradual decrease in rotational speed.

  19. Re:No one cares on iPod Shuffle RAID · · Score: 1

    At least it's slightly better than a RAID of usb floppy drives. http://ohlssonvox.8k.com/fdd_raid.htm

  20. Re:VOIP + Power out =? on Phone Numbers Go Locationless · · Score: 1

    Good, that's somewhat reassuring. I don't hate our current network, but choice is always good.

    "Finally, Google IS a US-based country"

    I knew google was getting big, but its own *country*? Wow, I'm impressed.

  24. Re:VOIP + Power out =? on Phone Numbers Go Locationless · · Score: 1

    Exactly, we need something like power-over-ethernet for coax at the very least. And even that's not good enough, because the cable company might go down. I can't ever see any other provider having the redundancy and reliability that the current US phone system has, or any country's for that matter.

  25. Re:Attack of the CDS on AOL Updates: Standalone Browser, Search, VoIP · · Score: 1

    I have a theory. AOL has only made 1 AOL cd. But they cursed it, so that if you don't want to die in 7 days, you must make a copy of the CD and send it to someone else. But like most things, the curse failed and not one AOL user has died.
