  1. Slashdot at its finest. on Spain Outlaws P2P File-Sharing · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Read the fucking article before you post it, guys. You really screwed this one up.

  2. Side effects on Spain Adds 'Copyright Tax' to Blank Media · · Score: 1

    So does that mean Spain's accepting the fact that piracy happens and they're not gonna go ape shit on 12-year-olds?

  3. I have an idea on GPL Causing Problems for Derivative Linux Distros · · Score: 4, Funny

    Why don't we completely rewrite the kernel from scratch and license it under something else?

    Wait, I've heard that idea before somewhere...

  4. Re:Money versus power on Boeing Connexion, No More Wi-Fi at 30,000 ft? · · Score: 1

    The signal amplitude needed to get wifi from an airplane to the ground is enough to kill everything in the airplane's path. Nice idea, though. Has potential with certain services (i.e. cellular).

  5. NB on The 10 Tech People Who Don't Matter · · Score: 1

    Slideshow requires IE.

  6. Re:Wait on RMS Calls to Liberate Cyberspace · · Score: 1

    How can you possibly make a profit off of something when you can get the source code for free?

    Or even better, get a binary from someone who already built it?

  7. Wait on RMS Calls to Liberate Cyberspace · · Score: -1, Troll

    If everything's free, how's a guy supposed to have an income? It's still capitalist around here and I don't think that's changing.

  8. Re:Not Mozilla Friendly? on Windows Live Messenger with VoIP · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's not Linux friendly. Firefox is fine if you have Flash 8.

  9. Re:Clearly the solution is... on Researchers Hack Wi-Fi driver to Breach Laptop · · Score: 1

    It was a joke. Do you need to have it say "(Score: $score, Funny)" in order to laugh now?

    Duh.

  10. Re:Wait what on Teen Sues MySpace Over Sexual Assault · · Score: 1

    I'm 15, and have both a PayPal cashcard and a valid DL# (trainee licenses still have valid numbers).

  11. Re:it's good and it's bad on Police Launch Drones Over LA · · Score: 2, Informative

    "Eavesdrop", not "ease drop". I'm no spelling fascist but that one tripped me up a little bit so I figured I'd help everyone else out.

  12. Re:It's already out on More 'Hero' Games Without Guitars Likely · · Score: 1

    Look at the big image. It's quite obviously rendered.

  13. Hmm on Mechanics That Changed Gameplay Forever · · Score: 3, Funny

    Do paddles count? I say they do. You shoulda seen the Pong pre-release.

  14. Forgetting something? on Robotic Sense of Touch · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What about prosthetics that could actually feel? If I lost an arm or a leg or something, I'd pay top dollar not to lose my sense of touch.

  15. Maybe I'm paying too much attention to detail... on Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 Released · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Why is it called Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 if it's ... um, 2006?

  16. Re:Ok, I'll be the first on Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 Released · · Score: 3, Funny

    But will it run Linux? (tm)

  17. Re::O on Microsoft Stops Supporting Win98 Early · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As is Vista (beta 2). Despite all the speculation of craptacularness, it runs great (faster than XP, around the speed of Ubuntu+XGL) on my 3-year-old computer (2.4GHz/512mb/80gb/FX5200).

  18. Re:Good old rock... on Lawyers Ordered to Play RPS to Settle Dispute · · Score: 1

    Ohh .. but what about the cockroach?

  19. Re:Ventura on ESA Fights Minnesota Game Sales Restrictions · · Score: 1

    This was Ventura's reasoning.

  20. Re:intestine crawling robots. on Wormbot Crawls Through Your Intestines · · Score: 1

    But can it run Linux?

  21. Re:New? on Just Let Me Play! · · Score: 1

    Yes it did. Warp zones?

  22. Re:Hmm... on Choose Your Own Adventure Books Return · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Oh come on, you call that a fr1st ps0t?

  23. Re:Painless Upgrade on Ubuntu 6.06 Reviewed · · Score: 2, Informative
    Or ...
    $ sed -e 's/breezy/dapper' /etc/apt/sources.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo shutdown -r now
    Yes, upgrade after dist-upgrade ... this makes sure everything's up-to-date.
  24. Re:4x4? on 4x4 Chips, Opening AMD's Architecture · · Score: 1

    Can they drive sideways?

  25. Re:4x4? on 4x4 Chips, Opening AMD's Architecture · · Score: 1

    Have you ever seen a car with back-wheel steering?
