  1. Re:18%? on At Least 25 Million Americans Pirate Movies · · Score: 1

    A few bucks? Where the hell do you shop at. Movies aren't exactly cheap, and games are FAR FAR from cheap - they are rediculous.

  2. Re:PDA? on The Best Graphing Calculator on the Market? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And he'll be able to take a test using that? I highly doubt it. The TI's and a few HP's, casio's, etc are some of the only calculators allowed to be used on lots of standardized testing (or a scientific calc and nothing more), so unless you feel like buying both its a waste. TI pretty much has a lock-in on the market in my area of the country (NW Pennsylvania).

    On a brighter note, a TI-89 Titanium should last you through college.

  3. Re:The size will be the limiting factor not DRM. on The First HD DVD Movie Hits BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    Or maybe we'll get lucky, and sinces its bleeding edge, it will bleed out and die.

  4. Re:Apple Policy on Apple/NVidia Driver Bug — Question Deleted · · Score: 1

    How about this or this? Sorry, I couldn't find a pic of Jobs where I could squeeze the apple into his mouth =/

  5. Re:FrostWire on Alan Cox Files Patent For DRM · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Slashdot needs (+1, Troll) besides (-1, Troll).

    I thought thats why we have +1 Insightful?

  6. Re:40 years prison for not installing Firefox... on Teacher Found Guilty of Endangering Kids Due to Spyware · · Score: 1

    Well when you say it like that it makes sense! (sadly it almost does =/)

  7. Re:yes and No on Apple is DRM's Biggest Backer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you have to have DRM then Apple's is certainly better than anyone else's.

    Thats the same as saying "well, if you have to fuck me in the ass, you might as well use the smallest dick". Well, personally, I don't like getting fucked in the ass. Why should I have to? Don't be such a sheep and give up your rights to music YOU PURCHASED. The digital media market is fucked up. You have the option to pay money to download a file you can't do everything you want with - or - you can download it for free and do whatever you want. Which one would you choose?

  8. iWoman on iPhone Faces Uncertain Market · · Score: 1

    When are they going to come out with the iWoman. There really aren't too many models out there with a usable interface, awesome features, sleek design, and low cost. And there's a HUGE market demand that I would say is VERY predictable.

  9. Re:YACCS -Yet Another Computer Corkup in Space on Software Error Likely Killed MGS Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    As a Mechanical Engineering undergraduate senior, I can confirm that we are shown horror stories, but not in a way that actually makes a difference. Yes, we know that what we design will often be used in situations that can kill people, but look at the design procedures for both and you'll see that they really aren't TOO different on a vague level. One of the things that helps mechanical design is all the history we have with it, and the use of safety factors. There are not many things with code that you can do to save your ass if you aren't sure.

  10. Re:Linux Niche on Year of the Mainframe? Not Quite, Say Linux Grids · · Score: 1

    And then you want to get your sound working on your newer laptop?

    Worked with ALSA out of the box.


    Must be nice, my new Toshiba Satellite doesn't have working sound in Ubuntu. It didn't when I installed it, and it still doesn't because its a problem with ALSA. Its on the buglist but isn't fixed yet. Your laptop isn't the only one made remember.

  11. I flew into... on UFOs In the News · · Score: 1

    I flew into Chicago O'hare on November 7, on a united plane too, why didn't I get to see the ufo? (Seriously, I did)
