  1. Re:It works! on Hypnosis Gets Positive Recognition · · Score: 1

    You think that's fun...try Prozac.

  2. Obligatory /. JOke on Barenaked USB Drive · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I know I'll be modded troll for this, but here goes...In Soviet Russia...USB pendrive comes on you!

  3. Re:Does this violate the terms of the DMCA? on Sticky Tape Defeats Sony DRM Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    No, it's tertiary/trinary/whatever. Tape is not on, tape is on, and tape has been removed, leaving sticky residue all over.

  4. Re:perhaps... on Have Geeks Gone Mainstream? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    He's a nerd. We're geeks. Or /.ers. There's a difference. See Wikipedia.

  5. Re:DRM this DRM that, if it is a pain I won't buy on Microsoft Announces CableCARD Support · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In the words of someone (I can't exactly name who it is) very wise, DRM "only blocks stupid pirates and legitimate users."

  6. Re:Can Anthrax Be Controlled? on Can Anthrax Be Controlled? · · Score: 1

    Worry not--they'll dupe it, just for you.

  7. Re:Don't pay for CD from these guys on Sony's EULA Worse Than Its Rootkit? · · Score: 1

    The public agrees with you--you see how artists who are better about "fair use" and allowing redistribution, etc., get more sales?

  8. Re:Redistribution? on Free OpenOffice.org Training Videos · · Score: 1

    If you RTFA, you would find that they're under a creative commons license.

  9. Re:Oh my... on Watching All Six Star Wars Movies Simultaneously · · Score: 5, Funny
    Honestly, this is one of the most ridiculous (i.e., uninteresting, uninspired, un-newsworthy) stories I've seen on Slashdot in quite a while.

    That's sorta redundant...

  10. Re:Breathe in Breathe out... on Amazon Gets Patent on Consumer Reviews · · Score: 1

    God already has prior art on that one. Your application is rejected.

  11. Question on Intel Roadmap Update: The Art of Naming Processors · · Score: 1

    Is the next generation Pentium called a Sexium? Only makes sense.

  12. Re:Seems a rather obvious conclusion on Court Finds For Student In Web FOS Case · · Score: 1

    The "modified 1st amendment" that applies in schools can only be used if the act "disrupts the educational process." For example, the black armband.

  13. Re:Oh, there's a 2.7 kernel! on SCO Demands Linux 2.7 Information · · Score: 1
    Reminds me of two stories.
    1. In the first, two brothers set out to collect 1 million AOL CDs. They would then march onto AOL HQ with them and say "You've Got Mail!"
    2. In the second, a man was given a traffic ticket. He paid it in pennies to show that it was too much.
  14. Re:Best KDE-centric distro now? on Novell to Standardize on GNOME · · Score: 1

    I've found that GNOME is mostly too simple to do anything with, and if you want to do anything complex, it's too hard. Like manual menu editing--why can't it just be similar to KDE? What if I install a program that is not technically a gnome prog (like OOo) and want to use it?

  15. Re:Best KDE-centric distro now? on Novell to Standardize on GNOME · · Score: 1

    I like Slackware also, they just leave default KDE. No "AOL icons" of sorts. Other things that are cool about Slackware include: BSD init scripts are easier to read, very minimalistic, yet not to the point of uselessness, and the setup program is awesome. Everyone says it's hard, but I find it easier to work with than a lot of others.

  16. Re:Mine on Top 10 Items in the Linux Admin Toolkit · · Score: 1

    I agree on grep at least...I didn't know the syntax for find a couple years ago (and was too lazy to get the manual on it) so i did this: pushd /; find | grep filename.txt; popd

  17. Re:Outlook and VBA are the real killers` on Fighting FUD with Humor · · Score: 2, Funny

    Then there's the ironically named FirstClass.

  18. Re:Speed play offs. on Overclocked Radeon Card Breaks 1 GHz · · Score: 1

    Feed it salmiakki...that will make anything run faster. On a side note, onko totta, että suomalaisessa jouluperinteessä joulupukki oli lapsia syövä villisika?

    Try Nokia--they have "just a" phones.

  21. Re:Issues With Trolltech Lower Excitement on Original BeOS Developer Now at Trolltech · · Score: 2, Informative

    Or the cheap solution...use WxWidgets.

  22. Re:Or they could rate... on Wikipedia Founder Sees Serious Quality Problems · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Once an article is "well-written", I think we should lock it. I mean, how much would the concept of "concrete" really change in the next few years? If the page needs a change, then tell someone on the talk page.

    You're lucky...you haven't worked in downtown Seattle.
