  1. I can't believe Snape kills Dumbledore on Video Games Need A Woman's Touch · · Score: -1, Troll

    Oh, the horror!

  2. Wow. 3mhz! on Hand-made Web Server, Built From 200 TTL Chips · · Score: 0

    I'm sure it will withstand being linked to on Slashdot!

  3. Re:Monoooooooorail on Mass Transit Meets The Incredibles · · Score: 1

    It comes from the Simpsons.

  4. Re:Hubble Comparison? on Telescope Will Have Images 10X Sharper Than Hubble · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Loopholes wouldn't just "go away." People that buy many things (viz. the poor, the middle class) in retail would have more tax burdon than somebody with tens of millions of dollars in stock revenue.

    I don't think you seem to understand that over 90% of wealth is controlled by a very small percentage of individuals in this country. Overtaxing the "poor" masses isn't going to do a bit of good.

  5. Re:For those fellow Maya fans ... on Can't Draw? You Need The Inkulator 9000. · · Score: 3, Funny

    Too bad any real artist using Photoshop would never think about using Eye Candy.

  6. Enoch on Ask Neal Stephenson · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Neil,

    Please give us some more details about Enoch Root. He's quite an amazong character, but you leave us really guessing about him. Is he the same person throughout the years? Is he the embodiment of the biblical Enoch?

  7. Re:I've solved it, Watson on FFXI / ISP Incompatibility Shuts Users Out · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and when is the last time you've seen a transparent proxy for port 25 access?
    Don't you mean filtering? Proxying and firewalling are two different things.

    I know that OO does not use a transparent proxy server because they say so in the TOS. You could also verify that rather simply by looking at the traffic generated by a host (such as me.) This isn't happening.

  8. Re:I've solved it, Watson on FFXI / ISP Incompatibility Shuts Users Out · · Score: 1

    OO is not using a transparent proxy.

  9. Re:You mean on Doom 3 Demo Available · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Creating a demo before the final product just pushes back the final product's release date.

  10. Re:CGI isn't everything on Sky Captain and the Films of Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    Well, CGI or not, I hated the fight scenes of Braveheart. They were that "I'm really there!" shakey camera footage. It makes me ill to watch it. Having a guy in a handheld camera with an offbalance gyroscope to vibrate it around does no good for me.

  11. Re:The actual documents seem to be slashdotted on Bush Service Memos Questioned · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah?

    Just because you didn't know about it, doesn't mean it isn't real.
    Also, a quick typography lesson for all:
    Typefaces are a standard. They rarely change. The Times typeface has been in existence for decades, as has Futura, Garamond, etc, etc. They don't change very much over time. Times Roman was invented in the early 1930's.

  12. CmdrTaco as Gandalf! on Celebrity Casting For LOTR · · Score: 1, Funny

    Come on guys, what the hell is this about?

  13. Re:nospam@please.com on Where Do Dummy Email Addresses Go? · · Score: 1

    How funny is it that you're real email address is in your signature?

  14. Re:Seeing stars in Manhattan on Spider-Man 2 Has Over 30 Mistakes · · Score: 2, Funny

    There's stars in the sky?

  15. Re:They've forgotten to list all the location mish on Spider-Man 2 Has Over 30 Mistakes · · Score: 1

    If that was the 9th street El, then how did they fall down onto it from the Credit Suisse building that is on 23rd & 5th? The fake el train was actually going down 24th street. They even duck under the crosswalk between the same CSFB building. Also, that train was labeled Bay Ridge. Funny that It'd be ending on 24th pointed at Queens.

  16. They've forgotten to list all the location mishaps on Spider-Man 2 Has Over 30 Mistakes · · Score: 4, Informative

    1. There is no elevated trains in downtown/midtown Manhattan 2. Shots are frequently switching between a background of midtown, brooklyn, queens, and the village. 3. There is no D'Agostinos on St. Marks 4. etc, etc, etc

  17. Re:Yeah! on Gateway Wireless Connected DVD Player Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Everything except play movies. It has a slow processor.

  18. Its so good on Reverse Graffiti · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They can't show any pictures of it? Anybody have links?

  19. Re:Great Article on Dan Kaminsky Suggests Having Fun with DNS · · Score: 1

    Sounds like Cryptonomicon.

  20. Re:Well, it isn't on Report From "Get The Facts" · · Score: 1

    There will always be people like that. I'm talking about actual MCSE's that deserve a title and perfectly capable of administrating an NT server.... their asking price is pretty low.

  21. Well, it isn't on Report From "Get The Facts" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not in an enterprise network environment. MCSE admins are a dime a dozen, you can practically pay them minimum wages and have them run servers. Linux admins demand a very high price - at least 2-3 times that of the average NT admin. Why? Running a Linux server requires more than point/clicking your way around. A linux admin is required to have at least basic programming skills.

  22. I hardly see a point in this on Solid-State Mini-ITX Linux Recording Studio HOWTO · · Score: 1

    The fans of a computer make far more noise than the HD. But that's not even the point. More "noise" happens when the signals are going into the soundcard itself inside of a case full of electromagnetic waves bouncing off of everything. Who records where a live mic could pick up the computer? Isn't this supposed to be "pro?"

  23. Re:Open Source MMO on Sony Slow To Reveal Mac EverQuest Code Freeze? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yeah, open source in an online game? Cheating is a huge problem in games. Open-sourcing a game would cause it to be unplayable.

  24. Re:Another Rip Off on Modded XBox The Ultimate Multimedia PC? · · Score: 1

    We're not talking about features - we are talking about interface design.

  25. Re:Another Rip Off on Modded XBox The Ultimate Multimedia PC? · · Score: 1

    And Media Center is just a ripoff of Tivo.
