  1. gateway... on Is iPod the Razor or the Blade? · · Score: 1

    i don't think apple is looking it in terms of the razor or blade... it seems it's more of a gateway to try and boast the features and advantages of an apple powered life (ipod, macmini, ibook) the fact thta they're making loads of money on tunes and pods it just a byproduct...

  2. be careful... on The CSS Anthology · · Score: 1

    css can consume your life...

  3. great... on Cracking iTunes' DRM with JHymn · · Score: 1

    everybody i know who uses itunes and burns to cds and then re-rips to mp3 (accomplishing the same thing) this just preserves the "original quality" if the record industry wants to slow piracy in any meaningful way they better stop releasing albums on audio cds

  4. revelation!!! on Teen Sentenced for Releasing Variant of Blaster Worm · · Score: 1

    there's a world outside of shashdot???

  5. dangerous... on Build Your Own Self-Balancing Unicycle · · Score: 1

    i wouldn't be worried about it's safety except that there is a long standing tradition that people who make fools of themselves are abused, and that could lead to some harm.

  6. couch potatoes of the world unite... on Verizon and Microsoft Partner for IPTV · · Score: 1

    they are the one group of people who will not put up with a bsod...

  7. sun and open source on Sun's Patent and Licensing Practices Examined · · Score: 1

    sun needs to embrace open source quickly and decisively if they want to survive and gain a broader base of support from developers.

  8. right... on US Ranking for Broadband Falls · · Score: 1

    just because it's technically boradband and available does not mean that it is fast or cheap by most standards.

  9. superbowl indicator... on Has The "Technology Bounceback" Begun? · · Score: 1

    if you see superbowl commercials instructing you on how you can save on heartworm medication by buying online you know the bubble is back... for now i don't think we have to worry.

  10. redmond alert... on Security Holes Draw Linux Developers' Ire · · Score: 1

  12. hacks on RFID Cards to Include Tin Foil Hats? · · Score: 4, Funny

    i'm personally going to wait for o'reilly to release "passport hacks" before i start tinkering...

  13. sad sad day.... on TorrentBits.org and SuprNova.org Go Dark · · Score: 2, Informative

    suprnova however was not running a bittorrent tracker and had not for a very long time... chances are that most of the trackers that were linked to from the torrents on suprnova are still operational... all that's needed is a new way of sharing the meta info (.torrents)

    still sad to see suprnova gone after all this time...

  14. being fired sucks... on Massive Layoffs At AOL · · Score: 1

    ...but will they at least get to keep their @aol.com email addresses... most of the people who have the service only keep it for the address...

    to switch to windoze...

  16. soooooo.... on Going, Going, Gone: IBM Sells PC Group To Lenovo · · Score: 1

    what is it exactly that ibm does now???...
    the name has been synonymous with pc's for so long...
    what's really interesting is that ibm compatible may son mean compatible with their 64-bit powerpc cell processer and actually won't be ibm (past 20 years of production) compatible...

  17. win on 1-Click Blooper Playback for Original Trilogy DVD · · Score: 2, Interesting

    is windoze a necessary evil to unlock the goodness of starwars? (without wasting massive amounts of time)

  18. so... on Ohio Law Could Send Spammers To Jail · · Score: 1

    are we supposed to feel bad for spammers... send 'em to gitmo....

  21. chips on Intel's Expensive Disco Ball · · Score: 1

    i can't think of anything intel produces that i could buy at the moment to amuse myself but if that disco ball hits ebay i don't think i could afford not to bid...

    how can something that sexy be useless to me...

  23. compliment??? on Green Hills Software Decides Linux Isn't So Bad · · Score: 2, Insightful

    wanting to exploit the popularity of linux and not "giving anything back" is hardly a compliment...

  24. standards.... on Does Open Source Need Quality Standards? · · Score: 1

    if neatly defined standards were practiced many a beta tester would be out of work... being sloppy is only bad if it isn't caught and corrected by a different departement

  25. does it matter.... on HD-DVD Wins Support of 4 Studios · · Score: 1

    if the consumers aren't willing to upgrade their "brand new" dvd palyers to those that can play hd-dvd/blur ray discs there will be no winners only angry ceo's and unemployed marketers
