  2. Re:Actually, I think it's pretty bright... on Nintendo Revolution Details Emerge · · Score: 0

    I haven't seen anything, and considering that xbox 360 is using a dual-layer 12x DVD, it's not hard to allow support for an old xbox game.

    But for me it doesn't matter as I don't own an xbox

  3. Re:Actually, I think it's pretty bright... on Nintendo Revolution Details Emerge · · Score: 0

    It's doubtful that the Revolution will be more powerful than the Xbox 360 (from what specs I've seen, it's going to have 3 CPU's running all @ 3.2 Ghz). The 360 will also offer a whole load of features the revolution can't dream of. Also, Xbox Live is known by everyone already. All the Revolution will be in 2006 is old news.

  4. Very Interesting on Next Step in Human Evolution · · Score: 0

    I thought H.G. Wells copyrighted The Time Machine.

  5. Duh... on Open Source As Legal Time Bomb · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Linux Torvald didn't create anything, because Linus Torvalds was doing all the work

  6. Re:Basic Plot Inaccuracies? on Benioff and Weiss To Write Ender's Game Script · · Score: 1

    true. It was an embarrasment to anyone.

    Hector and Achilles ran around Troy for 4 or 5 times.

    Achilles got angry at Agamemnon.

    There WAS a lot of god intervention.

    oh, and the Trojan horse wasn't even in the Iliad

    Next thing we'll see: Troy 2 (How Achilles rebuilt Troy as his own and called it Chicago)

  7. Re:Hang them! on How the Spam Industry is Sustained · · Score: 1

    I don't go out and open my car and say 'hey! Carjack my car!'

  8. Re:Longevity of spammers != "clicking" in emails on How the Spam Industry is Sustained · · Score: 1

    They just have a computer sending it once every x days or something.

    Personally, I started receiving spam on my gmail account within 2 weeks of getting it. BTW, Gmail does an amazing job of filtering it.

  9. Hang them! on How the Spam Industry is Sustained · · Score: 1

    Let's hang the spammers then hang the people who click on the spam links. Or at least put them all in a ghetto in southern Italy.

  10. Vonage will not win on Texas Attorney General Sues Vonage over 911 · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Even though there's no 100 percent guarantee that a POTS line will get to the 911 center, there is currently a 0 percent guarantee on a VoIP phone. Now, don't you think that might be a little bit of a problem?

  11. I hope... on The Science Guy Returns · · Score: 1

    I hope he doesn't act the same way while talking about sex or addiction...

    blegh!

  12. It's About Time on Spitzer Telescope Discovers Planets Via Infrared · · Score: -1, Redundant

    The technology has been out there for quite a bit, and it's taken them this long to realize they can use it?

  13. Portable Firefox on Ultaportable Apps: Take Your Thumbware Anywhere · · Score: 1

    Thanks, Slashdot, that's a nice bookmark. I'm installing that on my USB drive so I don't have to use IE (piece o' crap)

  14. Re:The first thing anyone needs to learn.... on Learning a Language in the Digital Age · · Score: 1

    I'm learning spanish in school, yet I make it a point to use good grammar, because it just helps you later on in life...

  15. The first thing anyone needs to learn.... on Learning a Language in the Digital Age · · Score: 1

    The first thing anyone needs to learn is English! Slashdot is a fine example, but let's not go into that. How many times in a day do you hear people saying "I did good...", or even worse "I ain't"? So, let's perhaps see an article on how the digital age is allowing people to re-learn English?

  16. Huh? on Microsoft Uncertain About WinFS for XP · · Score: 1

    Didn't Microsoft announce a few months ago that they were uncertain about including the WinFS architecture in the OS? Personally...I don't care, the less I have to rearchitecturize (word?) my HDD the more at piece I will be

  17. Lenovo, IBM, and Nintendo? on 400,000 Additional DSs Available by Year's End · · Score: 1

    he ability to increase the shipments for the holidays resulted from higher-than-expected volume at production facilities in China

    Here's a dumb connection: IBM sells its PC group to Lenovo, a company in China. Suddenly, China starts producing more DS's? You thing that's stupid?

    Perhaps, a new Starbucks opened in the production sector...

  18. That's great on New Open-Source Tabletop RPG · · Score: 1

    How long before some smart teenager figures out how to hack the game and get himself to level 350,000 (out of 100)?

  19. 2007: The history of AMP on AOL Making Media Player, Music Store · · Score: 1

    AMP 1.0 : Very interesting, but still already existant in some competitors such as iTunes

    AMP 2.0: AMP is sent out massively on DVD's at major department stores and in mail. Still no new features

    AMP 3.0: AMP only allows you to buy AOL-TW approved songs, only 3% of the total songs at the time. The ownership of AMP cites "virus concerns".

    AMP 4.0: AMP includes a new AIM plug-in so the cops can IM you their subpoena.

    AMP 5.0: AMP is bought out by an outside corporation.

    AMP 6.0: AMP acquires iTunes. People revert back to Kazaa.

    AMP 7.0: AOL-TW announces the discontinuation of AMP.

  20. Re:Quality on Going, Going, Gone: IBM Sells PC Group To Lenovo · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I can make another metaphor : Symantec has definately killed Norton. The suite they offer now (2005) stinks, but I want to avoid going into too much detail.

    Aside from being chinese (no offense to any out there), Lenovo is a different company which doesn't share the original company's viewpoints. This has happened time and time again, this won't be an exception.

  21. Red Hat -- Prices? Heh. on Dell Calls For Red Hat To Lower Prices · · Score: 4, Informative

    Isn't RedHat Server cheaper than Windows 2003 Server? And RHS is supposed to compete with Win2k3.

    RedHat ES -- $349.99
    RedHat WS -- $179.99
    Win2k3 -- At least $400 from what I can pick up.

    BTW, if Dell doesn't like RedHat, why don't they use something else? People vote with their dollars.

  22. The Treo has disintegrated on More Problems for the Treo 650 · · Score: -1

    The Treo used to be the best palm out there -- and maybe even the best phone. But now Sony wants to keep up, so they release the product early and here's what happens.

    Sony used to always keep their products back, which meant they released it a little behind, but they had products with good quality. Not anymore?

  23. Re:GPL: Intellectual Theft on Green Hills Software Decides Linux Isn't So Bad · · Score: 1

    I don't remember the GPL saying you had to give out the source. I only remember that you can if you chose to liscence it under the GPL

  24. It is true on Green Hills Software Decides Linux Isn't So Bad · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Linux can be a threat to national security because any computer-savvy terrorist can hack it.

    But this is another case of what we call a fair weather fan. Next week they'll be telling us that Microsoft is evil...heh.
