  1. Re:Great idea, Marty! on Segway Inventor Turns To Environment · · Score: 1

    I was thinking the exact same thing. Not sure why you're sitting at Score:0.

  2. Next time on Survivor on Analog Hole Legislation Formally Introduced · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a helluva idea for a reality tv show.

  3. Re:14,800 lawsuits on First RIAA Lawsuit to Head to Trial · · Score: 1

    I feel horrible too.

    I can only hope that the crime of making a digital copy that takes away no value from the original which I could have bought for 10 times its manufacturing cost of which the artist gets a negligible amount is something for which I can be forgiven.

    But heaven help me, what would I do without my collection of Ashlee Simpson mp3s.

  4. Where are the MS shills? on Microsoft Open Document Standard Not So Open · · Score: 1

    Has anyone else noticed that no one in any of these posts is defending Microsoft except for those that are confusing open standards and open source?

    Could it be that not even the Microsoft fan boys can defend this particular piece of FUD?

  5. Re:You forgot the obvious... on Is SETI a Security Risk? · · Score: 1

    If this is the case then we don't have any reason to worry. Microsoft will have them in court so quick and for so long for patent violation they'll never be a problem. Balmer will fucking bury them!

  6. Nooooooooo!! on DMCA Abuse Widespread · · Score: 1

    Anything but Gigli 2!

  7. Re:Self aware on Microsoft Office 12 Beta 1 Is Out · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's just what Daisy WANTS you to think!

  8. Re:Whatever convinces ATI to make decent drivers.. on Should Linux Have a Binary Kernel Driver Layer? · · Score: 1

    If they half it by half, would that mean they quarter it?

  9. low cost virtualization option on Why Do People Switch To Linux? · · Score: 1

    Take a look at qemu. Can't get much lower cost than free.

  10. Re:Me too. on Firefox Momentum Slows · · Score: 2, Funny

    I disagree. Subtle sarcastic humor almost NEVER goes over so well on Slashdot.

    Oh wait ...

    Never mind.

  11. Re:Its.....butt ugly on Office 12 Exposed · · Score: 1

    Considering how few people have upgrade from 2000 to XP, it's not really a mistake.

  12. Re:not THAT unusual on Your Thoughts on the Great Ozone Debate? · · Score: 1

    They could be carried. Perhaps along with all the coconuts being carried by African swallows.

  13. Re:Heh. The Circle is Complete on The 360's Towering Pricetag Explored · · Score: 1

    yes but how many of those 11 titles do you actually want?

  14. Re:BFD on Extra Daylight Savings May Confuse the Gadgets · · Score: 1

    Or maybe you logged in 60 minutes from now.

  15. Re:Wife, please read this article! on NRLB Redefines 'Your Own Time' · · Score: 1

    Thank God they seem to have fixed the mod system so you could get +5 for this. I laughed especially hard at the signature.

  16. Re:Of course you have to consider... on Looking at Birds in a Whole New Spectrum · · Score: 1

    We also have to determine how many coconuts they can carry.

  17. Re:WOW!! on Windows Vista & IE7 Beta 1 Released · · Score: 1

    Do you mind being just a bit more descriptive?
    If you're not being sarcastic that is. It's hard to tell.

  18. Slashdot'em on How Should One Respond to a Network Break In? · · Score: 1

    Submit an interesting sounding post to slashdot with a link to their web site and watch their servers melt.

    Of course, this assumes people try to RTFA.

  19. Re:This sounds as hyped as the piracy numbers. on Annual Cost of Microsoft Monopoly: $10 Billion · · Score: 1

    I guess we'll only find out if Apple sucks it up and makes their OS able to work on Dells

    I think it's more like "Will Dell suck it up and sell Dells with Apple's OS?"

  20. Re:Hyperbole? on Annual Cost of Microsoft Monopoly: $10 Billion · · Score: 1

    You're correct, there's nothing stopping you from replacing Win2k with RHEL.

    But you probably already paid for the Win2k when you bought the server, didn't you?

  21. Re:The next step.... on Hot Coffee Cooling Off · · Score: 1

    To reach the most people, I say we start with Minesweeper and Solitaire.

  22. Remember what happened to Homer on Longhorn's Offical Name is Windows Vista · · Score: 1

    Homer: I reluctantly accept your proposal!
    Bill Gates: Well everyone always does. Buy 'em out, boys!
    [Gates' lackeys trash the room.]
    Homer: Hey, what the hell's going on!
    Bill Gates: Oh, I didn't get rich by writing a lot of checks! [insane laughter]

  23. Slight mistake on SOE Station Exchange Launches · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    which meant that all of the users were exchanging US dollars for the rights to use virtual goods, characters and coin within the game

    I think how that is supposed to read is:

    which meant that all of the losers^H^H^H^H^H^Husers were exchanging US dollars for the rights to use virtual goods, characters and coin within the game

  24. The messsage is changing on Microsoft Continues Anti-OSS Strategy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    From TFA: You can do things just great--I want to be very clear about that--but...

    Microsoft's message has changed over the last while. Once it was "Linux is no good", now it's "Linux is good, but we're still better".

    I think they're making a strategic mistake by admitting that Linux has any credibility at all. Publicly recognizing the competition is not a good decision because it makes people realize that there are alternatives.

  25. Re:This could be a Hallmark event on One Step Away from Changing Daylight Savings Time · · Score: 1

    Well, of course you'd have the same Labor Day as America in America Jr.

    Take off, eh. We ain't like those hosers, you nob.
