    Did you have to bring the MPAA and RIAA into this discussion too?

  2. Obligatory on New Keyboard Has Just 53 Keys · · Score: 1

    But.......will it run on linux?!?

  3. Re:Handy on New Keyboard Has Just 53 Keys · · Score: 1
    But if they implement a key for CTRL+ALT+DEL, the sales will go high as the sky

    Speaking of CTRL+ALT+DEL, can anyone show me where that is on the QWERTY layout? I can't find mine.....either that or its broken.

    I would also appreciate help with the ANY key, I have a few programs installed that are waiting for me to press that so I can finish the installation.

  4. Re:77 Games? on Xbox Modders Charged Under DMCA · · Score: 1
    FYI, they were probably not XBox games, though they could have been. A lot of xbox's are modded with NES and SNES (n64 probably too, havent done this though) emulators and ROMs of NES and/or SNES games.

    Thats right, you can turn a modern XBox into a NES AND SNES AT THE SAME TIME!! You dont even have to tear it apart if its one of the older ones, just buy the one James Bond game, install software that came with it, hook up to hub/router, and use an FTP client to transfer emulator and roms to the XBox harddrive.

    x. Profit!!

    I've had a good (free as in beer) meal, and pretended to work all day while reading slashdot, etc, and actually accomplishing some amount of work....it's that time of year.

    Most of Stewie's references are older than the rest of the cast.

    Of course they are, he is much more intelligent than the rest (except Brian), which adds to the wittiness of the humor, but not the 'intelligence' of the humor.

  7. Superman's Wiki page? on Wikipedia Founder Edits Own Bio · · Score: 1
    I wonder if Superman's Wiki page insists that he has a very, very large member often considered too large for screen?

    Intellectually??? I do not think it means what you think it means...

    Your statements are all so true about family guy. Southpark on the other hand, requires a lot of prior random knowledge, but can also be intellectually funny.

  9. Re:Now this is a turn up on The Truth About Suprnova Shutdown · · Score: 1

    Yes, the moderation system (as of late months) is really, really in the shitter. Thats why I've been metamoderating a lot lately (every day). The ++ mods are usually right on target but a LOT (probably 50%) of the offtopic/flamebait/--mods are WAY uncalled for......as yours was definately not worthy of flamebait.

  11. Re:Sigh on Microsoft Ends IE on the Mac · · Score: 5, Funny

    What was funny for me was that I left work with my browswer open to slashdot, and at the time the last story was yesterdays post of this. I came in, sat down, hit refresh, and virtually the same damn article was still at the top.......I was very confused.

    I know their feet, fur and sense of smell are all optimized for living in ice. I'm sure there are more things.

    Yes, their members actually appear larger when cold, contrary to the human male. Thats optimization for survival of course.

  13. Re:Getting your point across. on Israeli Company Creates Nano-Armor · · Score: 1
    Well, bullets made of the same stuff wouldn't be very heavy, so maybe you mean bullets coated with it...still, an interesting question.

    This really isn't that much a part of the issue, because the bullets aren't failing to penetrate because they collapse, its because they don't create enough force (pressure is force over an area) to penetrate the 'armor'. Therefore, coating them would not help in terms of penetration unless coating them made the bullet create more force, which it could because if the bullet refuses to mushroom up it could potentially create the same force over a bit (much?) smaller area, which would result in a larger pressure and possible penetration.

  14. My College CS Professor on Gender Gap in Computer Science Growing · · Score: 1

    I have to taken one actual Programming class (C++) for my Mechanical Engineering degree (BA), and my teacher was a female. I found it kind of odd, but she knew her stuff. It was really funny that the only female in my class was the teacher though.

    That's chump change to Microsoft and Google (I don't know about SUN).

    I'm too lazy to google anything, but I do remember reading on slashdot about 2 weeks ago that Sun's CEO makes more than Bill....

    just what I remember, as it was talking about Mr. Gates finally making >1mil in a year.
