  1. license? on Microsoft Releases MechCommander 2 Source Code · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I checked the link, but I couldn't find what license the code is released under. What does Shared Source mean?

  2. Pirates on CATO Institute Releases Paper Criticizing DMCA · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I wish people would stop calling people who share software, pirates.

  3. International? on GDC 06 So Far · · Score: 1

    From the link:

    43% of all users in Second Life are female, with a median age of all Second Life users of 32, and 25% of all users are international.

    What the hell does international mean?

  4. Re:Digital Camcorders on 32 GB Flash Storage Drive Announced · · Score: 1

    I could see this having a pretty big impact on digital video cameras, too. No moving parts to break while you're running around with a handheld. Very cool!

    Definitely. I always thought those dvdburner camcorders were a bad idea.

  5. I'd buy it on 32 GB Flash Storage Drive Announced · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'd buy it. All that is needed is a wireless link to a network attatched file server. 32 GB holds a lot of non-multimedia files.

  6. Why on NVIDIA Releases new Budget GPUs · · Score: 1

    Why do OEMs insist on using integated Intel graphics cards when stuff like this is available?

  7. Can someone... on Initial Reactions to Fedora Core 5 · · Score: 0

    Can someone tell me what the actuall differences are between the major linux distro's? Really, how could Mandriva, Ubuntu, and Fedora Core be all that different from each other? Wouldn't the developers just take the best parts out of the other distro's?

  8. Re:Why? on New Star Wars TV Series Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Why won't George Lucas stop screwing with art? Just stop George. Someone needs seriously just hit him until he forgets that he has the legal power to do crap like this.

    Star Wars is art? WTF man?

  9. O RLY on Stardust Part II, Deep Impact Revisited? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    "If the impactor hit something that was very hard, it would produce a smaller crater than if it hit something very soft,"

    Wow, who would have ever guessed that?

  10. Pacman on Useful Applications for Smartphone? · · Score: 1

    Pacman!

  11. Cool on World's First Completely Transparent IC · · Score: 1, Funny

    Cool, an icy IC.

  12. Offtopic, but on Patriot Act Game Pokes Fun at Government · · Score: 1

    Does anyone know of an online monopoly game or even a good download with ai?

  13. are? on Yahoo! Launches Local News · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Local news are available, huh?

  14. I hope on Comic Book on Copyright and Creativity · · Score: 0, Troll

    I hope the comic isn't copyrighted.

  16. Please on The Creative Power of Second Life · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Please, do not ever use the word "factoid". That is all.

  17. PKers on Zombie MMORPG in the Works · · Score: 3, Funny

    So they finally found a solution to pkers eh? It's pretty hard to kill something that is already dead.

  18. Re:Lucky Bastards on The New Face of Script Kiddiez · · Score: 1

    Or Eightyford....

    Touché.

  19. Lucky Bastards on The New Face of Script Kiddiez · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The worst part of this is that when these people are caught they are often given lucrative jobs at security and antivirus companies. Making the front page of slashdot will probably even look good on the lucky bastard's resume.

    And what kind of name is witlog? It's like cunningpoop, or something.

  20. Clod on The Microsoft Salary and Review System · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't even have a job you insensitive clod!

  21. XBOX 360 on The NVIDIA GeForce 7900 Series · · Score: 0, Troll

    Have PCs already caught up to the XBOX 360 in graphics? I know you can't compare the two price-wise, but what about a mid-range gaming PC?

  22. Re:The Daily Show on Apple to Offer Monthly iTunes TV Subscriptions · · Score: 1

    Yeah, actually I think you're probably right. Sometimes I talk out of my ass a little on slashdot ;)

  23. DotCom Collapse 2.0 on Google Faces Wall Street Revolt · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Google stock is so unbelievably overvalued. This is what happens when there are more investors than investments, and when people buy stocks in the trendy companies. Ah well, "the rich get poorer" is always good.

  24. Tablet PC on Microsoft Origami Unfolds · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I read the article, but I just want to be clear. Are these nothing more than smaller tablet PCs? I just assumed Origami was a bigger deal than that, considering all the hype.

  25. Re:The Daily Show on Apple to Offer Monthly iTunes TV Subscriptions · · Score: 1

    Where exactly was The Daily Show freely available for download?

    http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/the_daily_show/ videos/most_recent/index.jhtml
    It used to be available for free on realplayer many years ago.
