  1. Re:Why do you put up with this shit? on Microsoft Deal Limits Verizon MP3 Phones · · Score: 1

    Classic case of preventing the casual attempt with crap DRM. Works though.. Japan (obv) has the sweetest cellphones... Like the black/orange Toshiba one with GPS.

  2. another on New Evidence in Historical Cannibalism Debate · · Score: 2, Funny

    Man is the only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the
    victims he intends to eat until he eats them.
                                    -- Samuel Butler (1835-1902)

  3. Re:Lets see.. on Sony to Settle Spyware Suit with Downloads? · · Score: 1

    They should pay for the time required to remove it for each and every install. (as if they know they are infected..)

  4. Re:I love being an undergrad... on Air Force Builds Quiet Mach 6 Wind Tunnel · · Score: 1

    My first thought when I saw this story was 'poor undergrad who had to polish it'. Too obvious :)

  5. Re:Does this mean all my calls will be archived? on Motorola to Add Google to Mobiles · · Score: 1

    It will be interesting to see when google starts doing something with their huge collection of data. I suspect the first will be person-targeted ads in adsense. That should be a little disconcerting for people who haven't thought about it.

  6. Re:whatever on If DVD Is Dead, What's Next? · · Score: 1

    Slight difference between DVD and VHS though: VHS is crap quality and hard to rip, DVD is easy to rip and will remain acceptable quality to for a while.

  7. Availibility on Google Video Store Announced · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Will this be availible outside of the US too?

    I hope so, a lot of the good shows never make it over here while a most of the run of the mill sitcoms do.. :/

  8. Re:Captain Obvious Raises His Hand on Are Hotlinked Images Now a Liability? · · Score: 1

    Accept no new external image src= links until after a fix has been pushed out over Windows update? Maybe require all forum sig images to be hosted by you?

  9. Re:Wait... what?! on The U.S. Arcade is Dead? · · Score: 1

    Tux racer? Seriously? Crazy... Anyway, I wasn't refering to going to a cybercafe/lan to play CS, but simply browsing the web, which would be lame. I love CS lan games.. easier to cheat that way... :P

  10. Re:whatever on If DVD Is Dead, What's Next? · · Score: 1

    In fact, it's no big deal. Just rip all your DVD's to disk and play them on your mythtv box.

    Oh noes! My collection is obselete, I must rebuy every single film on bluray!

  11. Re:Everything old... on PC FM Tuner Streamed Over a LAN? · · Score: 1

    Reminds me UBIK by Philip K. Dick, one of the characters lives in a conapt where you have to pay your door for it to open..

  12. Re:Amazing on More Cookie Investigations · · Score: 1

    IP theft from mozilla bugzilla server? poke

  13. Re:For The Love Of FSM on More Cookie Investigations · · Score: 1

    Ah, but that's too scary. Meanwhile. a little bleating about cookies induces just the right mixture of paranoia, outrage and an urge to buy crap through their ads.

  14. Re:Wait... what?! on The U.S. Arcade is Dead? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's like going to an internet cafe when you have broadband..

  15. Re:It's not just the japanese... on The Xbox 360 and Japanese Nationalism · · Score: 1

    I'm sort of underwhelmed by the console... Nothing new about it.

    Waiting for the Revolution.

  16. Re:Still can have bugs on When Bugs Aren't Allowed · · Score: 1

    Did you have trouble parsing his output?

  17. Re:in other words... on Philips Unveils Entertaible · · Score: 1

    If they ever release this I predict it will flop because it's tiresome to sit at the angle neccesary to look into the table.

    I'll save my cash for my lust object of the month: a 24 inch eizo lcd

  18. Re:Second Amendment on SCO Amends Novell Complaint · · Score: 1

    It's their lawyer teams last cruel joke on them before they ditch them.

  19. Re:What BS on SCO Amends Novell Complaint · · Score: 1

    Imagine the pain when they finally lose though... :)

    Seriously, the longer they go on with this crap the angrier the judge gets, I can imagine he's had just about enough of this case...

  20. Re:The Most Dangerous Idea of All on Share Your Most Dangerous Idea · · Score: 1

    >>Do animals have an appreciation for anything which doesn't physically affect them (make them feel good)?

    Hey jackass, they do. Humans are animals and so some animals have all abilities humans do..

    I believe the word you were looking for was 'non-human animals'.

  21. My yahoo, custom google homepage etc... on Of Internet Users, Only 4% Knowingly Use RSS · · Score: 1

    A lot of newbies/non-tech users unknowingly use RSS though, which is what I guess yahoo was hinting at. All the big portal/search companies have their own blog/news syndication scheme that makes it easy to subscribe to sites. (Example)

  22. Re:Debugger on Core Web Application Development with PHP & MySQL · · Score: 1

    Is there anything for C for linux that is as good as zend studio is for php? (tried eclipse, didn't like it at all, using gedit and nano at the moment...) Zend studio is a beauty and the programmers (+interface designers/clutter removers) ought to be proud of themselves.

  23. Re:Debugger on Core Web Application Development with PHP & MySQL · · Score: 1

    Zend studio. Try the trial and you'll fall in love.. :) It's got live syntax checking, great, uncluttered debugging etc.. But I don't think it can connect to mysql. That kinda sucks.

  24. Re:front page of course... on Blizzard Made Me Change My Name · · Score: 1

    Dude, it doesn't matter. It's not his responsibility to conform to some artbitrary definition of a news outlet. It's his (well, OSTGs) site, and he can post whatever he wants.

    I thought it was worth reading. At first I thought they had changed his nick because it was well-known and not verified, but eh... I guess not.

    Repeat after me:

    Slashdot is not CNBC ,Slashdot is not CNBC ,Slashdot is not CNBC

  25. Re:ion engines on NASA Scraps Shuttle And Returns to Rockets · · Score: 1

    "In the future it may be feasible to build nuclear fission reactors that can achieve multi-gigawatt electric power levels."

    Sounds interesting... I salivate at the thought of efficient exploration of the solar system.... :)
