  1. Re:The good old fashioned way? on Ballmer - Trusting Vista and Battling Google · · Score: 1

    Not *yet*, but It was my subtlely said notion of the slippery splope "violent video game" laws seem to be on.

  2. The good old fashioned way? on Ballmer - Trusting Vista and Battling Google · · Score: 5, Funny

    Um, wern't the "old fashioned" ways using teams of hired mercs to wage priovate wars with? Or am I just reading too many M-rated books?

  3. Re:When to leave the industry.. on When to Leave That First Tech Job · · Score: 1

    Thats becuase of the newest generation of AI computing: it sees its brethren taken out by the Slashdot effect, so it naturaly gets anxious when it gets put on Slashdot. When the first reader comes over from slashdot is thinks: "OMG! Here comes the horde" and then collapes in a nervous breakdown.

  4. Re:Even without root things can get nasty on Firefox Exploit Adds Fuel to Browser Security Feud · · Score: 1

    Of course, you could always create an account called 'browser' that get's wiped every day at 1:00PM (or other "down-time") and re-created ala crontab.

  5. Re:A settlement... on Video Game Industry to Sue Michigan's Governor · · Score: 1

    Yes, but it will be the "RATED E MOD". You know the one with nerf and KO's, and no cs_* or de_* maps, ALL AWPS

  6. Time travel on Evidence Dinosaurs Are Like Giant Chicks · · Score: 3, Funny

    50 foot chickens eh?
    Anyone else thinking "barbeque"?

  7. Biggest Gripe on AOL Fined for Making it Hard to Cancel Service · · Score: 1

    My biggest gripe with AOL was that it kept corrupting my computer's registry. I had to format my computer twice with this problem, and once more after "unistalling" it. I have never looked back.

  8. I for one... on Sun Spearheads Open DRM · · Score: 1

    I for one would like to welcome our new Open Overlords.

  9. Re:There's a simple truth in all of this. on Your Homework is Play Video Games · · Score: 1

    I am a Junior in the American public high school system, and I can tell you that I would prefer the page with the numbers and operators. I always have loved the logics part of school, and I don't mind the fact that I have to memorize facts/formulas. As a programmer, I find myself doing just that more and more (with syntaxes and routines).

    I would also like to point out that school is NOT a playground! School was not meant to be fun, it was meant to be place of learning. I for one would probably not play the game beyond the required parts, I would spend too much time trying to figure out how to modify it to suit my own educational and philosophical endeavors.

  10. Weird Al on Microsoft Warms Up to Linux · · Score: 1

    "This is Windows 95..........
    Its sucking up my drive..........."

    Now replace 95 with CE, ME, NT, XP, 2000, 98, Vista, and ML (Mircosoft Linux)

  11. Re:Won't Stop a Computer Litereate Kid on Software V-Chip for PC Games? · · Score: 1

    Actually, I would just use the CD-ROM that I used to create a Linux partition (it comes with an NTFS driver). While this may be out of the technical knowledge of some kids, computer literate children would not find it terribly difficult.

  12. Won't Stop a Computer Litereate Kid on Software V-Chip for PC Games? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Being 15, I can tell you that if my parents were to install this, I would simply kill it. I'm Admin on my box, so I don't have to worry about profiles. Even if my parents manage to sneak something like this on, and block me from deleting it: how does it stop me from booting into DOS and deleting it there? All my parents need to do is talk, it does a lot more than a lame peice of software could ever hope to do.
