  1. looking forward on Microsoft Office 12 Beta 1 Is Out · · Score: 1

    to trying out the new interface, if only I could ever get accepted into an MS Beta program

  2. Re:Yawn on Xbox 360 Hardware Disassembled and Analyzed · · Score: 1
    Who are you? Rip Van Winkle?

    looking for a 40 year nap?

  3. Re:Hardware = good; Launch...? on First Xbox 360 Reviews Hitting the Web · · Score: 1
    I will also be holding off to purchase it, but only due to pricing.

    I don't play enough games to justify buying a console, I haven't bought a PS2 or an Xbox. But with the wife and I getting a new house and my computer now being more than 3 feet from my main tv I'm going to pick it up for the media extender capabilities. Maybe I'll find a couple of games to pick up as I did with the wife's gamecube. But I'll play them for a couple of hours and then through them back on the shelf for a couple of months before picking them back up.

  4. Re:They need to make up their mind on Stiffer Penalties for Copyright Violations · · Score: 2, Interesting
    thats my question, are the penalties going to be more severe if you download an album than if you were to actually go into the store and steal a physical copy of the album?

    The financial penalties already are, as they can sue you for downloading a copy, but I'm relatively sure they haven't sued anyone for stealing a cd.

  5. Re:Some people already do this! on Army Develops New Chewing Gum · · Score: 2, Funny
    I know several who think that simply chewing a stick of gum after a meal is a sufficient replacement for a full brushing. Damn Trident marketing.

    These people also tend to have the DemonBreath from Hell TM.

    smells like someone shit in a spearmint bush

  6. Re:Diffrent? on Human-Powered Internet Archive Book Project · · Score: 2, Interesting
    with all these companies now deciding they want to scan books (Google, Amazon) why not partner up on this project, it would greatly reduce the overall costs as each company would scan the same books as the other.

    At least partner up for the process of scanning even if they have different plans as to what to do with the scans

  7. Re:that sucks on Xbox 360 Backward Compatibility Finalized · · Score: 1
    my question is: how many generations forward should they carry compatibility forward?

    You can't expect them to keep adding to the cost of new consoles by essentially encompassing parts of the old one for emulation.

    besides if you have a whole wack of xbox games you most likely have an xbox, play them on that.

  8. Re:The numbers are misleading. on Firefox Achieves 10% Global Market Share · · Score: 1

    true enough, from home I choose to use firefox (except for those IE only sites), at work however I use IE, so I'm probably in those sample sets twice.

  12. just slashdot them on Defend Yourself in the Imminent Robot Rebellion · · Score: 2, Funny

    assuming the move for everything to have wireless networking somehow entrenched in it just post a link to their config page on slashdot.... then the robots breakdown under the load

  20. Video Quality on iPod Video Coming to a Car Near You · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm wondering if the resoution of the videos/shows they will be selling will be sufficient enough to watch not only on the V-Ipod but also on your computer, or on a TV (not only with the TV out)? What about burning to DVD?

  21. site slashdotted on 200gb Hack for iPod Nano · · Score: 2, Funny

    can't read... don't own a nano anyway so it doesn't matter too much; just wanted to feed the curiousity. my biggest question is, and always has been: Can Slashdot be slashdotted?
