  1. Yes, but.. on Video Games and the Hi-Def Format Wars · · Score: 1

    ..which one will make a better frisbee?

  2. Re:A valuable lesson on Bearshare Shut Down by RIAA · · Score: 2, Informative

    I don't know how that is insightful. Gnutella is anything but a centralized network. Are you suggesting running a decentralized corporation to rake in the profits?

  3. Re:Why spare the big fish? on Bearshare Shut Down by RIAA · · Score: 1

    Yeah, why are there no years on the dates? Cheap Y2K bugfix?

  4. Re:Conspiracy theories are missing the point on NASA Hacker Gary McKinnon Interviewed · · Score: 1

    Here's the indictment(pdf warning) with some more details on what he did. What I find most shocking is that it took them a WHOLE YEAR to figure out something was going on(like accounts missing, people talking to ghostwriters through WordPad, etc).

  5. Easy to hack on Biometrics Win Support From the Lazy · · Score: 1

    remember Demolition Man 2?

  6. Re:Not worried about not getting windows on Wal-Mart to Offer Components for DIY Computers · · Score: 1

    Not only that, but they can then muscle suppliers with threats to buy the large volume of units from their competitor unless they bend over and take it like a smiley face.

  7. Re:Slashdotted spoofing server? on Can You Spoof IP Packets? · · Score: 1

    Expect no less from the best.

    You mean an America Rock?

  9. Re:iloomy butt! on Dot-com Boom's Biggest Duds, From Flooz to iSmell · · Score: 1

    If they ever made such a thing I would take residence in it

  10. Re:From TFA on Napster Going Back to Free Downloads · · Score: 1

    Anybody know how this works? I mean how can they stop someone from recording the stream?

  11. Re:This would help on Will Sun Open Source Java? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I don't know if it would replace Java, but it would definitely empty many cups of it.

  12. Hacking is 'cool' on More Than 20 Years of the Web on the Big Screen · · Score: 1

    If they didn't spice it up with flashy graphics and virtual worlds who the hell would want to see it?



    "On the other side of the screen, it all looks so easy. "

  13. Re:FIX THE DAMN MEMORY LEAKS ALREADY on Places Feature Cut From Firefox 2 · · Score: 1

    Sorry but we are too busy working on innovative features that we would like to cut until we can implement them 5 years later when the size of memory leaks can contend with the size of the federal deficit. Thank you and enjoy this public announcement.

  14. Slackware on 40 floppies?? on The Increasing Importance of Community · · Score: 1

    Hmm let me guess, version 5.0?

  15. Re:Political Parties Aren't Not Where It's At on Colbert New Comic-in-Chief · · Score: 1
    A part that I found most appropriate for this occasion:
    "It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule indeed extends with more or less force to every species of free government. Who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric? Promote, then, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened."
    Thanks to Colbert for doing his part.
  16. Re:Ah, I see... on Azureus Inc. Moves Toward Commercialization · · Score: 1

    We'll see HBO distributing episodes for $1-2

    Are you so sure about that?

  17. Re:dupe! on U.S. Government Moves To Dismiss EFF Case · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That's DOJ vs NSA, this is US Government vs EFF silly.

  18. Biting the hand that feeds it on Congress May Consider Mandatory ISP Snooping · · Score: 1

    AT&T: You want me to WHAT??
    NSA: But think of the children...
    AT&T: Let me look at that fiber cable...[snip]

  19. Re:Possible Justification on DOJ To Claim National Security in NSA Case · · Score: 1

    they could even monitor the IP addresses on that SMTP or HTTP transfer

    Wait...what was that??

  20. Re:The last of his species. For obvious reasons. on Wisdom From The Last Ninja · · Score: 1

    It's over. Killing is no longer really an artform. Everyone can do it. Just pull the trigger.

    Actually it's just the ticket to the University.

  21. Re:It's probably legal. There are bigger issues! on NSA Spying Comes Under Attack · · Score: 1

    Yeah you can tell the nerds from their failure to read sarcasm, however slight, right?

    But But But they are soo sexy! And flat! Look at those silly nerds still using those bulky CRTs. No wonder they are still stuck in their homes!
