  1. I can really only think of.... on Meetings are Bad For You · · Score: 1

    one meeting that was bad for me, the memo was something like...

    To: YOU
    From: Balmer, Steve
    CEO
    Subj: Google


    We need to have a meeting about regarding you and some rumors I've been hearing. Please report to conf. room 210 a 3:30. The new one by my office with all the chairs.

  2. Well... on Intel Macs May Boot Windows XP After All · · Score: 1

    Like a few others here I would much rather see OSX installed on my windows box. Apple stuff is nice but I don't really wanna pay that much for the "look". I like OSX and have always had a enjoyable experience working with it. But I don't like it enough to shell out 2 grand.

  4. Re:DS or PSP on Games That Travel Well · · Score: 1

    If you want something to game on DS, if you want something that so far only has PS2 ports, and is mostly a movie player go with the PSP.

  5. Re:No thanks. on Behind the Scenes of Narnia's Special Effects · · Score: 1

    What movie did you watch? Wasn't anything like the books? You were either asleep or went into the wrong theater. True they did cut a few parts out I wish they had left in, but overall the movie followed the book very closely. The animation was well done, and you should try turning your hearing aid back on if you thought the sound effects wer crap, or try going to a new theater.

  6. come on... on The Scripts of J. Michael Straczynski, Vol. 1 · · Score: 3, Funny

    When you have Will Robinson in your show you know it's going to be a hit!

  7. Re:I hate ADV. on Profitmon Catches The Dollars · · Score: 1

    I have to agree, if it wasn't for the fansubs I wouldn't have bought about 90% of the anime thats currently in my collection. They should be thanking the fansubbers not trying to make them out into criminals.

  8. when... on Cyber Monday Doesn't Exist · · Score: 1, Funny

    will the cybermonday sales ad's be leaked on the net? I hope these people do a better job next year, I couldn't find a single one for amazon, tigerdirect, or newegg!!

  9. I'm confused! on Run Windows MCE Applications on Xbox 360 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I will be buying an X360 to replace my Xboxes which currently run as extenders. I have less than 10 games (most bought used). If MS is losing money on every X360, then they'll lose 3x that with my units.

    Well on one hand I'm sickened at the fact you are buying a Microsoft product (this being slashdot and all), but on the other hand you will be costing them large amounts of money....

  10. Re:Bleeding heart on Sweden's File Sharing Debate Becomes Mass Brawl · · Score: 1

    but aren't there more important problems than file sharing in the world, such as starvation, aids, poverty, political repression, terrorism?

    Not if your organization name ends in "AA" or one of their off shoots.

  11. Re:Ummm... on Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show · · Score: 1

    Ok, so Orson Scott Card is a great author...


    He's a great author for the first book in a series. Seems like he loses steam after that. Just look at the Ender series, and Enders Shadow (Bean) series. Both started out strong, but just got worse and worse with each one.

  12. Re:Better uses! on NASA Admin Says Shuttle and ISS are Mistakes · · Score: 1

    I think you need to brush up on your world events. We tried that. And when the goods wern't going to some warlord of the country we were trying to help, we were basically told to stay the fuck out and mind our own business from the rest.

  13. Et tu..... on Flash Memory with Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    SanDisk?

  14. Most /. readers on BitTorrent Gets $8.75M From Venture-Capital Firm · · Score: 3, Funny

    will know how to get the stuff for free anyways. Let them make their millions from average joe.

  15. Re:So this means... on U.S. Announces Global Intellectual Property Plan · · Score: 1

    Dear god......

    If they were smart they would just ask us to drop a nuke on them and not put them thru so much suffering.

  16. Damned if you do damned if you don't..... on London Tube Dangerous for Technophiles? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Either you detain them and we get stories like this poping up, or you don't and once it is a actual bomber or something and people looking for someone to blame start asking "well he was clearly suspicious, he should have been stopped, detained, and questioned. Had that happend we wouldn not be dealing with one of the worse tragedies of our time." Sad but true.

  17. question... on FEC Deciding Future of Political Blogs · · Score: 0

    I'm a little lax in how this works, but what if the server my blog was on is in canada? Do I get fined as a US citizen because I wrote it from here? Or since I live with in driving distance of of the boarder what if I posted it on the other side? Because I'm a citizen do I still face the wrath of the over paid government?

  18. Well why not? on GoogleTV Coming Soon? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    They are trying to put as many eggs in as many different baskets as they can, can't say that I blame them. If they just stuck with search engine profits they might have a similar .com era fall out.

  19. Re:When will people learn... on IBM Thinkpads now in Titanium · · Score: -1

    "I'm sure the financial times can handle any traffic slashdot can throw at them."

    Do not underestimate the power of the dark side.

  20. Re:hypothetical question on MP3 Company Refuses to Pay Swedish Copyright Levy · · Score: -1

    I've actually been asking this question since this whole thing started. I've yet to get a straight answer from anyone. You would think that yes, since you paid for it you should be able to download it. However what if you download it while you have the CD and then loose the CD? Or what if you have the CD ripped to your HD and no longer have the CD? Is it illegal then? Was it ever legal to begin with?

  21. What?!! on Millions of Games · · Score: 5, Funny

    Since when was there more on the Internet then porn and ISO's?!! When did this happen?!!

  22. Any guesses on GMC to Begin Remotely Scanning Cars for Trouble · · Score: 0

  24. Re:Ouch on Secretaries Sacked After Flamewar at Work · · Score: 1

    I wonder how much time you have left at your current job if you think emailing from their is safe.
