  1. OS X on XFire, Xbox Live, 1 Million EU DS Handhelds · · Score: 1

    Last time I checked, OS X was not supported for XFire. If there is one thing I would love to see, it would be for this great app to support more OSes.

  2. Could be worse on Exploiting Gaming Icons For Profit · · Score: 5, Funny

    At least Mario hasn't resorted to selling Peach for a couple hundred an hour, that just wouldn't be classy.

  3. Woah on New Algorithm for Learning Languages · · Score: 4, Funny

    Imagine if the editors started using this, what would everyone have to bitch about on Slashdot?

  4. OS X, etc. on Google Releases GDS 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Would anyone care to see this on OS X or other OSes? At least for me, I already get the same fuctionality on my Mac that this offers (through Quicksilver/Spotlight, Gcount/GmailStatus, etc.).

  5. Obligatory... on Did Microsoft Invent The iPod? · · Score: 1
    From TFA...

    According to a citation on "Platt's home page, he and other colleagues at Microsoft developed a paper in the 2001-2002 timeframe discussing AutoDJ, "a system for automatically generating music playlists based on one or more seed songs selected by a user."

    Yeah, but does it run Linux?

  6. Re:how do you play this on How Episode IV Should Have Ended · · Score: 1
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bittorent

    This is probably the easiest way to explain it.

    I recommend using Azureus to download the torrent.

    http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

  7. Ad-Aware on Microsoft Denies Claria got Spyware Exception · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Yet another reason to use Ad-Aware.

  8. Re:FIST SPORT! on New Xbox 360 Dev Kits Shipped Out · · Score: 2, Interesting
    And this is wrong because...?

    http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/06/30/ 1346221&tid=212&tid=98&tid=187&tid=233

    Sony isn't an angel either.

  9. It's about time... on How Ice Melts · · Score: 4, Funny

    I can finally sleep at night!

  10. Re:GPL is very much needed on We Don't Need the GPL Anymore · · Score: 2, Insightful
    But can you imagine how many people would take away your code and claim as their own, sell it and not give back to the commnuity had it not been for the copyleft "GPL"?

    CherryOS?

  11. Anywhere? on Zeta Goes Gold · · Score: 4, Funny
    ZETA costs Eur 99 and is available from our online shop or any of our approved resellers

    So where is the .torrent? ;-)

  12. Broken? on If Bad Software Developers Built Houses... · · Score: 0, Redundant
    Can anyone else get the article to load? I get this error message...

    Error establishing a database connection! This probably means that the connection information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect. Double check it and try again.

    Are you sure you have the correct user/password?

    Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?

    Are you sure that the database server is running?

  13. Re:Gives new meaning to their slogan on 3.9 Million Citigroup Customers' Data Lost · · Score: 1
    I think you mean...

    What can Brown do you for?

    ;-)

  14. Extra features on Podcasting from the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. · · Score: 5, Funny

    Do they include sounds effects of all the information in the show going right over my head?

  15. Can it be true? on A Peek at Personalized Google · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Although it is not currently in Beta

    This seems to be their one and only service that isn't beta. But I don't mind their screwy usage of that term, it all is polished enough for me.

  16. So... on Cybernetic System to Allow Physical Interaction · · Score: 4, Funny

    Physical interaction with humans over the internet? This sounds like many a Slashdot reader's idea of a wet dream.

  17. Re:ASIMO and an X-Ray Laser? on ASIMO and Research Celebrated in Brussels · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Open the pod bay door, HAL."

  18. Re:Obligatory dead baby joke... on San Francisco Getting Stem Cell Agency HQ · · Score: 2, Funny
    I might as well finish off mine-

    How do you get a baby out of a blender?

    With tortilla chips.

  19. Obligatory dead baby joke... on San Francisco Getting Stem Cell Agency HQ · · Score: 3, Funny

    How do you get a baby out of a blender With- *is overrun by thousands of stem-cell protestors*

  20. Where's Waldo? on Kernel, Shell Boots on DS Linux · · Score: 5, Funny

    All that trouble and you can't get a nice boot screen of Tux? What's the point? :P

  21. The console wars continue on Xbox Division Slips Back into Loss · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I guess they have priced themselves out of any profits. I bought my XBOX for $300 back in November '01 when it was first launched. At that time, those $300 got you the console and one controller. These days (last time I checked), for $150, you can get an XBOX, two controllers, and one or two games. The console wars have driven down the price from what used to be an arm and a leg to something much more affordable in an attempt to sell more and more units.

  22. No PS2 repeats? on PSP Reception Lukewarm in US? · · Score: 1

    All the news leading up to the release predicted a PS2-like availability after the first few days (read: sold-out), guess Sony fooled everyone.

  23. Other alternatives... on UK Retailers See Conspiracy In Xbox Supplies · · Score: 2, Informative

    Can anyone say Ebay?
