  1. Re:I've tried lastfm and Pandora on Music Recommendation Engines Compared · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What I've found with Pandora is that it seems to work best if you just tell Pandora what music you like and not what you dislike. I just seem to get better results that way.

  2. Re:PirateBay will rise again? on ThePirateBay Will Rise Again? · · Score: 1

    So, did you enjoy your freshman year of college? Sounds like you read some intersting books!

    Angst angst!

  3. Re:PirateBay will rise again? on ThePirateBay Will Rise Again? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Because the average torrent user is an expert on Swedish law and ThePirateBay, who are a group of well respected Swedish lawyers, said so, so it must be true!

  4. Yeah! We can all pirate again! on ThePirateBay Will Rise Again? · · Score: 1, Funny

    We can all freely download all those shows and movies and music and software produced by the companies represented by the RIAA and MPAA and BSA! We can continue this amazing paradox in which we bash the quality of their product while we spend exorbinent amounts of time and energy figuring out ways to get it quickly and freely!

  5. Re:Awww =( on Home Chemistry An Endangered Hobby in U.S. · · Score: 1

    wtf is 6th form? Is that some sort of evolutionary state?

  6. Re:Lada's was better. -nt on Slashdot CSS Redesign Winner Announced · · Score: 1

    I agree. I like sexy and Lada's was more sexier! (yes, I know that's not proper)

  7. Re:Like geocaching, but with the magic of Disney! on Future of Video Games Outside the Home, DisneyQuest · · Score: 1

    Well, DisneyQuest (or whatever it's called) isn't in the park.

    Been there twice now. That superheros ride makes me motion sick, but the other VR rides were cool. I think the mech one, if you have four people, was the best, in my opinion.

  8. Re:Allofmp3.com on Making Money Selling Music Without DRM · · Score: 2, Informative

    You, my friend, seemed to have confused iTunes, a music service, with the iPod, a hardware device. The iPod works perfectly fine with all the lovely quasi-legal mp3s that you annd I purchase at allofmp3.com.

  9. Re:Upgrade? on Athlon Socket AM2 Review · · Score: 1

    True. Good points. I'll especially agree with you on the buggy part. I had a LanParty board before the ASUS. It was the most unstable piece of crap I've ever owned. Tons of features and a really sexy piece of hardware, but it was just worthless.

    Maybe I'm just trying to convince myself that I don't need a new system because I know that if I were to purchase one my wife would remove a very important body part.

    Oh well... at least I convinced her that we should get a Nintendo Wii. Although all I had to tell her is that she could play Super Mario Brothers and Dr. Mario on it.

  10. Re:Upgrade? on Athlon Socket AM2 Review · · Score: 1

    The 939 NForce 4 Ultra/SLI line is showing age

    How so? My current setup (ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe, 3800+, 7800GTX, 1 GB DDR) has no problems running any of the most intensive games and/or apps. About the time that Vista comes out I'll probably just upgrade the processor to a 4800+ (which will be about $300 by that time), get a second 7800GTX, and slap in another 1 GB of DDR. All for about $600. And then I should be good to go for another year or two.

  11. Re:-1 for self-contradiction, -1 for lateness on One Big Bang, Or Many? · · Score: 1

    Studying Sting theory hurts!

  12. Re:Congress shall make no law... on UN Broadcasting Treaty May Restrict Speech · · Score: 1

    The "Yelling fire in a theatre" principal is not ingrained in law. It was spoken/writen by a supreme court judge in a ruling that was later overturned (by a later supreme court ruling).

    I'm too lazy to google for it right now.

  13. Re:A+ certification looks bad, imo.. on IT Certification Less Important Now? · · Score: 1

    The majority of slashdot readers should be able to pass the A+ tests with no studying, whatsoever.

  14. Re:Waste of Paper on IT Certification Less Important Now? · · Score: 1

    Who wants to pay for a M$ qualification every six months?

    Every six months? How now brown cow? I don't think anyone is going to be clamoring for MCSE Vista certs for, say, 5 years.

  15. Re:Color me dubious. on World's Largest Pyramid Discovered in Bosnia? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How can he know that with so little excavated?

  16. Re:Use Ogg on Senate Bill May Ban Streaming MP3s · · Score: 1

    It should be banned, but only because that's an inefficient way to do things. RDP traffic is encrypted. Run shoutcast (or some equivalent) on your home pc and if you need to control it then use remote desktop.

  17. Yes! on Fake Scientific Paper Detector · · Score: 4, Funny

    I am always wondering what those damn robots are up to!

  18. Re:Grammar on First 802.11n Products Breaking Out · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Courier is better, you twit!

  19. Re:$15/mo times six million users.... on On World of Warcraft's Network Issues · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The problem doesn't seem to be how much they spend but where they spend their money. According to the article AT&T seems to be their only network provider. Who thinks that makes sense? To have such a huge bandwidth hungry product and rely on one provider for it. I would never host a commercial web site on a host with a single provider, let alone a huge undertaking like WoW.

    But, then again, I may also be an idiot... who knows?

  20. Re:I wonder what else is blocked. on Running an ISP in a Warzone · · Score: 1

    "The poll, conducted in conjunction with Le Moyne College's Center for Peace and Global Studies"

    I'm sure we'd all give the same credence to a study done by Fox News and PNAC.

  21. Re:Weight on Apple Announced 17" MacBook Pro · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Two things:

    1. Holy nuts man... that website makes me wish my eyes were on fire... yowsers

    2. It's tough to pull up a page at http://127.0.0.1/Alex/Web/primer/content/resume.ht ml (linked from http://www.mcdiarmid.net/primer/index.html )

  22. Re:I remember on eBay Looking for Allies Against Google · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Huh?

    So, you're saying that Steve Jobs should have stated that Google, a non-existant company, was the enemy?

  23. Yay! on Alleged British Hacker Fears Guantanamo · · Score: 1, Funny

    I'm excited for this well balanced and thought out discussion that is sure to follow!

    Yeah, they just have $1.7 Billion in funding to fight over, in the US alone.

  25. Re:WSJ, say no more. on Global Warming Dissenters Suppressed? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I only read stories from sources I agree with!

    Who cares if the person writing it is a Professor of Athmospheric Science at MIT? What does he know!

    Let me guess... you always write "Faux News" too, don't you?
