  1. In a TRAILER? on Behind the Scenes of The Simpsons · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I mean how many billions in advertising has the Simpsons made over the years?
    Well whatever works I guess.

    I always wondered if the animation was crafted to match the voices or vice versa, at least the article cleared that up.

  2. WHA? on Fujifilm Blu-ray & HD DVD Media Mid 2006 · · Score: 5, Funny

    "or 8,000 times more data than a human brain retains in a lifetime." Since when did the human brain retain 125GB of data? Anyone know where this comes from or did they just pull it out of their ass?

  3. Fine on Vista Won't Play With Old DVD Drives · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "well, no more DVD movies for you!" Ha. Well MS, no more money for you! Really, what incentive is there to *achem* upgrade to Vista anyway? 95/98 over W3.1 I get (pain in the ass as it was) ME over 98 ? no fsking way NT over 98 ? not for home use tnx 2k over 98 I get (glad I did) XP over 2k ? I can live without the eye candy Vista over 2k ? take your Trusted Computing and DRM and put it where the sun don't shine thank you very much. Until 64bit apps are the norm and force me to upgrade (like 32/16 with w2k) I can't see buying into this endless upgrade cycle.

  4. Lose all your credits if you forgot your orig p/w on SETI@home Becomes Part of BOINC · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I'm in the top 0.5 % and #39 in my Class with over 11k units mostly on a single machine. If I can't transfer that because I forgot my original password and changed email addresses since then, well screw it. I'll fold proteins to keep my apt warm.

  5. Re:Backwards? on New Bill Threatens to Plug "Analog Hole" · · Score: 1

    Brads brother Mike also works at the MPAA.

    Pretty funny when the secretary pages the building : "Has anyone seen Mike Hunt?"

  6. TWC on Blackout Shows Net's Fragility · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Time Warner Cable in upstate NY was unable to connect to several sites. SETI and Newsfeeds notably on Wed.

  7. Re:Here are my tips on When to Leave That First Tech Job · · Score: 1

    11) The president directs you the engineer to hire and train a new technician.

    12) The president gives you the evil eye at the old technician's funeral.

    13) The president hires an old buddy for "administration" duties that pays what you (used to) make.

    14) The secretary has a stack of overdue invoice notices to open every day.

    15) 22yro greenhorn engineers are hired at $20/hr to fulfill $55/hr contract engineering jobs.

    16) The president is absolutely incapable of admitting his glaring, obvious mistakes in mgt and project scheduling despite the advice of more experienced designers and engineers.

    17) The president insists on shipping a product even though it does not work reliably.

    18) Due to ill advised and unnecessary shortcuts the product is failing prematurely.

    19) Management berates, insults and openly intimidates everyone who questions their flawed decisions.

    20) It just plain sucks to work there anymore and you can't wait to be fired.

  8. Truth in advertising on Artist Suggesting Ways Around Copy Protection · · Score: 1

    I know, it's an oxymoron but if Sony wants to sell these socalled 'CD's' then they should be REQUIRED to label them as software. Any disc that installs drivers is NOT a music CD, it is a software CD.
    Just boycott Sony, they haven't made anything but crap since 1979 anyway.

  9. Re:She's so undeniably right on Some Rights May Have To Be 'Eroded' For Safety · · Score: 1

    Point taken.

    But they don't want you to live a long life.
    Just work and pay taxes until you're 65, then die.
    That way they don't have to pay out Social Security benefits.

  10. Ooooh catfight! on Secretaries Sacked After Flamewar at Work · · Score: 1

    none needed.

  11. Whatsa matter chromedome? on Balmer Vows to Kill Google · · Score: 1

    Somebodies making more money than you?

    Jeebus on a pogo stick, get a grip.
    Either buy some nukes or chill the fuck out.
    If you're so damn upset just revoke all Chinese copies of Windows and hire an army to enforce it.
    Or please just shut THE FUCK UP.

  12. Re:It is stealing. on RIAA Hands out more Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    How can it not be stealing ? The same way it is not murder. Get it asshole?

  13. Re:Slashdot hypocrites are out in full force. on RIAA Hands out more Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    how about this: I stumble upon your work on P2P, like it and go buy the CD?

    go chase 12yo girls and die in prison HH.

  14. Re:A few points on New Round of P2P Lawsuits from Hollywood · · Score: 1

    Hollywood lawyers be warned : you have no friends.

    Period.

  15. As if on Microsoft to Fight Crime With Spammer's Millions · · Score: 1

    they will ever see a dime.

  16. Re:Not to flame you americans on 60 Years Since Hiroshima · · Score: 1

    And more people were killed in Dresden than in Hiroshima.

  17. Look around you on Equal Time For Creationism · · Score: 1

    What do you see that is the result of superstition? What do you see that is the result of science?

  18. Re:Hooray! on Hollywood Going Digital and 3D · · Score: 1

    Eardrums move in and out. One dimension.

    Silly cowards.

  19. Hooray! on Hollywood Going Digital and 3D · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Crap with depth.

    I found 1d radio broadcasts like Alan Shepard in the 60s more interesting than most of the ooze oozing out of my TV set today.

  20. Re:Technology vs. legislation on CAFTA Treaty Exports DMCA · · Score: 1

    You can't hide a ton of shit in a one pound sack.

    Sure you can!

  21. Re:GET A DICTIONARY! on FBI Arrests Eight On Copyright Charges · · Score: 1

    Copyright infringement is theft. Copyright infringement is theft. Copyright infringement is theft. Repeat it often enough and make it so. Orwell and Hitler would be proud.

  22. Re:End of an era on 60th Anniversary of the Atomic Bomb · · Score: 1

    actually it's the bullets that kill people.

  23. End of an era on 60th Anniversary of the Atomic Bomb · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In some sort of crude sense, which no vulgarity, no humor, no overstatement can quite extinguish, the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose. JRO

  24. Re:Maybe... on How to Keep Your Computer Cool · · Score: 1

    In ten years of overclocking I've never seen CPU temps under mobo temps. Any links to data? Unless
    of course the CPU intake is being vented in from the outside, good idea.

  25. Re:Maybe... on How to Keep Your Computer Cool · · Score: 1

    That's quite a thermodynamic feat, the CPU running cooler than the air around it.
