  1. Re:Hardcore gamer? on A Review of the $200 Wal-Mart Linux PC · · Score: 1

    If you buy it here- http://www.zareason.com/shop/home.php , you can add more RAM cheaply. If you buy from this vendor, you can avoid giving walmart any money, if that's important to you.

  2. Re:But in Bizarro World he gets ... on A Mathematical Answer To the Parallel Universe Question · · Score: 1
    quantum apostrophe?

    Thanks for my new band name!

  3. Re:Another stupid name on Compiz Gets Thumbs-Up for Gutsy Gibbon · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Another stupid name
    For another shitty distro. Get with the program folks. The general public is not going to buy into this.

    I, for one, don't give a teflon turd about what the general public buys. I like it, and will be using it.

  4. Re:This may be a "grey" area ... on How Pirated Software Impacts Free Software · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And you don't get the vendor specific apps. Downside?

    Why is this at 5, funny? This is worthy of 5, Insightful if anything is. Vendor specific apps are B.S.

  5. Re:QOTA (quote of the article) on Does Going Digital Mean Missing Music? · · Score: 0

    "It turns you into an observer," Meyer says. "It forces the brain to work harder to solve it all the time. Any compression system is based on the idea you can throw data away, and that's proved tricky because we don't know how the brain works." Did that make any sense to anyone in here?

    At first, it didn't make sense, but then I really thought about it and yes, I do find myself imagining it sounding better than it really does by "filtering" it in my brain. I find my brain really is working harder to make it sound better as a whole. Well, anyway, I know what he's saying. Just sayin'.

  6. Re:Federal Anti-Obscenity Program ? on Federal Anti-Obscenity Program Comes Up Limp · · Score: 0

    Federal Anti-Obscenity Program, or "FAP" for short.

    When somebody floors on the wet?

  8. Re:Good enough for me on Japanese Mileage Maniacs · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I, for one, welcome our barefoot, big toe pressing the accelerator, plastic and cardboard taping, pulse and gliding, douche electric shaver driving, kilometrage maniac Japanese overlords.

  9. Re:Damnit... on Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) Beta Released · · Score: 0

    C) They won't ship CDs of another release until the next LTS release, so there won't be any 7.04 CDs either.

    That's what the Shipit ordering page said, but last week I received 10 cds of 6.10 (Edgy). It surprised me, I was fully expecting 6.06 LTS.

  10. Re:Amount of waste not reduced on Solid Capacitor Motherboards Introduced · · Score: 0

    Obsolete enough that I can't even get them sold to anyone (at any price - even 1 is too much).

  13. PONG! on If Next-Gen Is Too Pricey Go Retro · · Score: 0

    Ok, I kid. But I still find old NES systems at yard sales for almost nothing, usually with games, dirt cheap, and they are still a blast. (Plus I can actually keep up with the kids, kinda.) Don't go to Gamestop, or pawnshops though, because they caught onto the "retro" thing, and try to rape you on the price.

  14. Re:garbage on Open Source Laser Business Opens In New York · · Score: 0

    this is garbage and completely a spam advertisement. why is this allowed??????
    Because it's fricking lasers, and that's fricking COOL!

  15. Re:Open Source? on Open Source Laser Business Opens In New York · · Score: 0

    I've even heard people say that pirating software is "open sourcing" that piece of software.

    Wow, we need to stamp THAT out quick. Look what happened to "hacker".



    That is the understatement of the year. If too many idiots use the term "open source" like that, well, I just hate to think about it.

  16. Weird Science on Create Living Cells With an Inkjet Printer · · Score: 0

    This would make a good premise for the sequel, eh?

  17. Re:all true on Scientists Developing Commercially Viable Synthetic Gecko · · Score: 1, Funny

    Cars that run on flies with tires that could adhere to any surface...

    Do the cars have tires that adhere to any surface, or is it the flies that have the tires?
    (Couldn't help it) :)

  18. lasers on Molecules Manipulated with Lasers · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's nothing. I've been using lasers to manipulate my cats for years, and they're a lot bigger than molecules.

  19. Re:Well thanks a LOT... on Judge Calls SCO On Lack of Evidence · · Score: 0

    You just put an old Captain Beefheart song in my head that I hadn't heard or thought about in DECADES. "Fish heads, fish heads, eat 'em up, yum"

    That song is a classic, but it's by Barnes and Barnes. (I have it on a Dr. Demento compilation)

  20. Re:Solution: A $5 Sign? on NH Man Arrested for Videotaping Police · · Score: 0

    In Nevada fireworks are illegal I'm told (by the GF who lives there so should be correct). Except on Indian ground, so go to Pyramid lake if you want to set off fireworks..
    I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, and right now you can't drive a block without seeing a fireworks stand. But if you want a better price on them, go to the Indians.

    I can't decide if Slashdot sucks more than it used to, or if I always sucked and I'm just forgetful about how much.
