  1. Re:Can slashdot decide what "cool" is? on Can Large Corporations Buy "Cool?" · · Score: 1

    hmmm I'll answer...

    I'm not you average youtube user by any means but the way I understand it, youtube is popular because all sort of people contribute their crazy videos to it and not because some mega corp have their video uploaded and watchable there.

    Also I usually don't find any sort of commercial clips/videos amongst the most watched videos list on youtube.

    Sure the NBC and NewsCorp site will be a success but will people actually contribute to it? that I doubt.

    and btw, where can I download unga bunga linux?

  2. Re:You must be mistaken... on Dell Refunds Vista/Works With Two Emails · · Score: 2, Funny

    He must've got confused by the naked word. Remember it's a PC we're talking about.

    I think he actually meant redundant.

  4. Re:Link? on Voters Vote Yes, County Says No · · Score: 1

    I kind of agree with you but I think you missed the main point. You DON'T need the permission by an amendment to do that. It is your inherent right.

    Saying that I myself am not in favor of a mindless armed conflict with the authority. It should be used as the last option, not the only option and even if you are to use violence, use it intelligently and as a matter of persuasion.

    See? That's productivity...

    Anyway on a serious note, Microsoft Office is generally called productivity suite. If that is true then the thing about messy == productive must be as well.

  7. Re:Who plays racing games? Teenage boys? on Video Racing Games May Spur Risky Driving · · Score: 1

    I do play *some* racing games but as I understand it, it enhances you reflexes. Where I live, speed limits are vague and people drive like maniacs all the time (regardless of none of them ever playing video games).

    Do people who play FPS games fire rockets at their enemies more often than those who do not?

  8. Re:Software vs hardware? on Linked List Patented in 2006 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I agree. Patents ARE a good thing. However the current method/duration/prior art checking/etc of patents (especially of software patents) need to be reviewed and reformed.

  10. In other news on P2P File Sharing Ruining Physical Piracy Business · · Score: 1

    RIAA/MPAA agrees to the news of p2p piracy ruining actual piracy (read: their business) word by word.

    There is no such thing as a forced patch with regards to windowsupdate.

    WATER FOUND ON MARS!!!!!
    After the people on craft (3) have worked out how to make the atmosphere there breathable, and have had enough meetings and committees to organize themselves out of existence, they can then contact Earth and send for the other two craft. Well one thing is for sure. they won't die out of thirst at least.
  13. Re:uh oh on Web Censorship on the Increase · · Score: 1

    Amazing to see that Pakistan is not in the list. The not too well known site blogspot.com was blocked here for the last year or so since the cartoon publishing incident took place. It just got unblocked a couple weeks back.

    actually it should be: Since Microsoft && Novell said this...

    After looking at the article (and essentially the accompanying picture), I'm thinking that this one is designed to make everyone disappear (screaming and running).

  18. Re:Nobody RTFA! on Sport Is Unrelated To Obesity In Children · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well said. It always makes me laugh when people try to say that they want to loose weight to look better. I know for a fact that the most stupid way to think that you are healthy is to weight yourself and compare with a table on the internet which says that a 6' guy should have 80 KG.

    The actual thing is that weight has very little to do with being more healthy or well shaped. You look fat when you have more fat than muscles. Doing activities DO NOT reduces your weight. It only reduces the fat level but at the same time increases the muscle size resulting in the same and in some cases increase in weight. This doesn't mean that the exercise isn't working. It only means that you don't understand the whole concept.

  24. Knowledge != Intelligence on High Tech High 2.0 · · Score: 1

    While I agree with most part of you post, I disagree with the subject. No matter how good a school is, it cannot make a person intelligent. It can only make him/her knowledgeable.

    People that actually enjoy music - These people actually like music for music's sake
    People that enjoy music that fits needs, be it popularity, etc
    Maybe I'm just too cynical and the people I hang around are dullards that don't appreciate different music. Maybe the Maybe is unnecessary.
