  1. Re:Waste of time. on Independents Push For Second Firefly Season · · Score: 1

    Matlock was originally on NBC but picked up by ABC, Father Dowling Mysteries, Family Matters was on ABC and then unto CBS. I'm sure there are more examples. UPN and WB networks are merging into one. I can see how FOX can sell Firefly or Arrested Development, they can sell it to Showtime for initial rights and then retain rebroadcasting rights for their FX network.

    There was also the noid game, the California Raisins game, the 7up Spot game, and I'm sure there are lot more back in the 80s.

    They didn't sue HardOCP, HardOCP sued them first. Infinium was threatening suit, HardOCP sued first so they would get choice of venue favorable to them.

    Nes was two generations behind. Nintendo sold a slim version of the SNES when the N64 came out, and a slim version of the NES when the SNES came out.

  5. Re:Design a game that even an idiot can play.... on New Mobile Gaming Geared For Women · · Score: 1

    The Nancy Drew series on the PC are really fun. I am not a girl, and kind of embarassed to admit it. Some of the games have interesting puzzles nerdy things like binary numbers, science and the like.

  6. Re:wait just a damn minute on Family Guy's Stewie to Host Talk Show · · Score: 1

    Seth McFarland says that other characters can hear him, but just doesn't take him seriously. Along the way, the writers decided everyone can hear him and understand him.

  7. Re:Seth MacFarlane the creator... on Family Guy's Stewie to Host Talk Show · · Score: 1

    According to IMDB, he had a guest role on Enterprise. Can anybody confirm seeing him in the series. I have a feeling its some other dude with a similar name.

  8. Re:it came along and is called on Family Guy's Stewie to Host Talk Show · · Score: 1

    Kitchen Confidential was a pretty good show that never really got a chance, but complemented Arrested Development pretty well. The American Office on NBC didn't really start really strong, but now has a great following.

  9. Re:This is impressive on Stanford Classes Now Available on iTunes · · Score: 2

    The Pope is also a head of state. Imagine if you can copyright Bush's speeches and and only allowed to distribute them via permission of the White House.

    The DS comes in graphite black in Japan.

    In Korea you can get Starcraft and Warcraft trading cards inside Dorito bags. I imagine pro gamer is no different than pro skatebording. Fatal1ty is this generation's Tony Hawk, look for a Fatal1ty branded skateboard at a toys r us near you.

  12. Re:speaking of plagiarism on 1UP, Plagiarizing, and Other Bits of Joy · · Score: 1

    What's interesting is the chuck norris copy cat site, at the end, the guy thanks everyone and their mother, so this guy knows how to cite, its just that he refuses to do so.

    The work may belong to the website, but that doesn't magically make the website the creators of the post. That's what people are fighting, that they are not getting credit, and that's what most of the internet is about. That's what Slashdot karma is about. etc..

  14. Re:watch out for lack of USB power on Full Featured Pocket Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    All Macs have power coming to the firewire port. And most firewire notebooks hard drive enclosures power through the bus.

    Many jurisdictions have gotten rid of RAP as it applies to trusts by statute. So you are both kinda right.

  17. Re:No MIPS for MIPS on Apple Nearly Moved to SPARC · · Score: 1

    Not quite, the mid 90s was when Apple introduced its consumer brand of computers, the Performa. Early 90s, yes you can either buy a Honda Civic or a Quadra 900.

  18. Re:Call centers are on the way out, anyway on Can Tech Save Small Town America? · · Score: 1

    I used to work at a call center for a catalog sales company, people like to call just to talk to a human being and ask for their advice on opinion on how something fits, baggy or tight, how the material feels. You can 't get that on a computer website and I have a feeling that there is still a market abeit a small market for call centers.

    Vegas was a small town 50 years ago, and in the beginning there was no shopping, nightlife or arts, but now there is shopping nightlife, arts and other ammenities of medium size city.

    Those warehouses are satelite offices. Amazon used to have one big warehouse in Seattle, but realized that to ship to the east coast it would need warehouses there as well to ship it faster.

  21. Re:It's standardized. on College Students Lack Literacy · · Score: 1

    Usury in Washington state is at 12% except for credit cards. Credit cards usury is whereever the credit card company is based. South Dakota had no usury laws so companies started opening offices there, Delaware soon followed. So next time you look at your credit card offer, it is likely Delaware or South Dakota.

    Korematsu's conviction was overturned in 1983, but I think uou are right that it didn't reverse the orignal Supreme court holding.

  23. Re:Turn to page 42 of the Slashdot hymnal on Jobs' Invitation To Microsoft a Trap? · · Score: 1

    You are both wrong. Apple started out because Wozniak wanted to make cool hardware hacks. It's a cool hardware hack company, and back in the 90s they didn't make cool hardware hacks, up until the iMac in 1998 that's when it started to change back to a cool hardware hack company.

    Considering the Wash Post owns Slate now, along with Newsweek they aren't really a dinky city newspaper operation.
