  1. skype... on Pingtel Open Source VoIP Debuts in Europe · · Score: 5, Insightful

    it would be nice if there was an open source alternative to skype that got major backing by some big players... let's hope this is it! (not that skype isn't good, it's great... but competition is even greater)

  2. ok i'll bite... on NetBSD Status Report January - March 2005 · · Score: 0

    in soviet russia bsd confirms your death...

  3. Other reasons... on Linus Drops BitKeeper · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Are there any "good" reasons for the change, or is Linus just trying to appease the free software nazis...

  4. Torrents... on Hoary Hedgehog Ubuntu 5.04 Released · · Score: 1

  6. Can you say LAWSUIT on Best Buy Has Man Arrested for Using $2 Bills · · Score: 1

    I'd be surprised if this didn't result in a defamation of character lawsuit...

  7. dissed... on Indian Call Center Employees Hack US Bank Accounts · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    first they stole your crappy job and now they're after your savings... serves people right for trusting companies that outsource to handle sensitive info... just wait 'til some companies start denying responsibility and blaming customers for problems...

  8. Amazing... on Gene Therapy Ages Human Cancer Cells in Lab · · Score: 2, Funny

    "reported in the April 1 issue of Genes and Development"

    I just hope it's not some cruel April Fools joke...

  13. moving parts = bad... on Hitachi Predicts 3D Hard Disks by Year's End · · Score: 1

    it's amazing that the flash makers have not been pushing harder go gain desktop market share... they've been promising fo years that prices will soon be at the level where they're a feasable alternative to regular hard disks...
    at least those regular hard disk makers are continuing to innovate... although hitachi probably has maxtor and seagate on the run with this...

  14. you mean... on Car Powered by Compressed Air · · Score: 1

    the average person isn't willing to put their life at risk to try and "save the environment"... what a surprise...

  16. nice... on NASA Schedules Robotic Spacecraft Launch · · Score: 1

    how long before we can send robots with missiles up there... it's got to be obvious that nasa isn't just in the "exploration" business anymore... not that it's a bad thing.

  17. great... on Python Moving into the Enterprise · · Score: 1

    just what most companies need... "new" migration experts pushing widgets that nobody on staff knows how to use.. but hey it must be better, it's new.

  18. proactive... on Gates' Resolve in Bringing Spammers to Justice · · Score: 1

    or is it just a smokescreen... has actually fixing the vulnerabilities in windows become so difficult that gates/m$ have to go out and make examples of people who harass users...

  24. fair competition... on Chinese Huawei Takes on U.S. Telecom Market · · Score: 1

    it's easy to compete when the state owns or partially owns all the means of production and they can force people to work for nothing...

  25. pheuf... on MGM Concedes Some Fair-Use Rights Exist · · Score: 1

    now that we have that cleared up i don't have to feel like a criminal when i back up my property... now they just need to come clean about how the profit margins on dvds are twice those of vhs and they'll be on a roll...
