  2. DRM TPM GSM... bwahhh??? on Father of MPEG Replies To Jobs On DRM · · Score: 3, Insightful

    People... PLEASE unabbreviate your abbreviations at first mention in an article. To those that don't know what TPM or GSM are (isn't GSM for cell phones?), this article appears completely ridiculous. I thought it was a joke at first.

  3. Apple not under investigation on Novell, Dell Face Delisting From NASDAQ · · Score: 3, Informative

    To be clear, Apple is conducting their own internal investigation, but is not under investigation by the SEC or any other third party. They have not received any delisting notices.

    better methods for laptops to roam from one network to another

    SOOOOO good!

  6. how lies work... on CherryOS Goes Open Source · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If your friend lies to you, and then comes clean... you maybe forgive them, but you never really respect them all that much, because you know they can lie to your face.
    CherryOS will never look that cool to any of us, because they only came clean because of being caught in a lie.

    ...TWENTY YEARS AGO, when these movies were actually good! Now look at them. He's waiting for THAT?

    hmeh!

  9. Acronym Collision!!! on JVC First With A HD-Based Consumer Camcorder · · Score: 4, Funny

    Oh No!
    HD = Hard Drive
    HD = High Definition

    Confusion in future Slashdot articles = imminent

  10. In other news... on Hibernating to Mars · · Score: 2, Funny

    Crazy scientist is creating psychotic robot that has the ability to wake or kill hibernating humans.

  11. Gee, I wonder WHICH country...? on FBI Ordered to Turn Over Lennon Files · · Score: -1, Troll

    maybe FUCKING ENGLAND? You losers... if there's one country besides the U.S. that had any information on John Lennon it's god damned brits. How sensitive is that really?

  12. Terrorists! on Nuclear Batteries · · Score: 1

    Don't let them fool you! They say they want to use nuclear power for innocent purposes, but the IEEE plan on making nuclear weapons! They are part of an axis of evil that includes Intel and Microsoft. We must inspect their offices!!!

    where are the 90s when we need them?

  13. Appropriate Acronym on Canadian Music Industry Drills Dentists · · Score: 1

    It's great that The Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada stands for:

    The SCAM Publishers of Canada!

  14. Re:Documentary? on Cannes' Palme d'Or goes to Michael Moore · · Score: 1

    Sometimes the slant isn't in what they are saying, but in the subtext. Fox "News" often has the american flag waving in the background. I remember the news on the sarin gash shell, and it was reported on CNN and MSNBC... but if you watch Fox News, it's all they reported! In line with the administration, they want so bad to show there are some kinds of weapons of mass destruction. Really watch closely... looking at the whole picture, to the news broadcasts on fox, and then watch the same broadcast on PBS' news program, on CNN, on BBC, and on a national broadcast news network. Then come back and tell me they don't have the most conservative, agenda-driven angle of any of them.
    "Spot on"? You've either got to be kidding me, or haven't had much education critical thought.

  15. WINPOPUP on Microsoft Seeks Patent On Virtual Desktop Pager · · Score: 1, Troll

    Am I the only one that remembers winpopup.exe... the network pager that was released in Windows For Workgroups 3.11? This is prior art to all the nVidia and fvwmpager stuff you guys are talking about.

    Sometimes its hard to read these forums because people feel like they know they are right, but they only really do a Google search for "web pager" and check the first page for results.

  16. Attention: This is totally legal. on Eminem Sues Apple for Sampling his Samples · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Apple did not use Eminem's song in their commercial.
    Apple did not sample Eminem's song in their commercial.

    Apple did show a 10-year-old girl COVERING the song, in Acapella.

    Not only could this easily be definied as a cover, which requires no payment of royalties, but I would see it as a parody, which is covered under fair use.

    I suggest you all review the Stanford Copyright & Fair Use Guide at http://fairuse.stanford.edu/web_resources/index.ht ml.

    There is no case here, mark my words... Apple will win this suit, as Eminem has no case.

  19. 3D Adult Films on 3-D Movies Turn 50 ... Sort Of · · Score: 1

    I would seriously like to know what adult films were shot in 3D, that sounds crazy! Enough of the conservatism with the porn, this is an honest request for more information on 3D nudie flicks.

  20. Mod him up as funny! (Was: Re:Why Macs?) on Microsoft vs. Northwest Schools Part III · · Score: 1

    haha.. first i thought it was funny that you said 'expansive' instead of 'expensive', but then you went on to say it over and over again... if i had mod power i'd mod you up as 'Funny'

  21. Article Confirmed in Seattle Times on Microsoft Stops New Work To Fix Bugs · · Score: 1

    This is not a hoax... it's been mentioned in the Seattle Times several times.

    Here and here.

  22. Give him a break on MS Chief Security Officer to work for White House · · Score: 1

    Holy Lord, Slashdot... give the dude a break. He's the security advisor for their stuff, he doesn't write the code... and on top of it, he was in charge of security for some of the highest traffic sites ever! TOUGH!

  23. CHALLENGE FOR PROGRAMMERS on Linux-Based Audiophile CD Archival System · · Score: 1

    Make this software and you'll be the coolest dude around:

    1 web-based front-end that can:
    -read the cd currently in the linux box's cd-rom drive
    -copy all the tracks to the hard drive
    -use lossless compression
    -use a cddb type database for directory placement and file naming
    -do real-time mp3 encoding and streaming
    -burn tracks back onto a cd

    if this could all be done through a web-based thing for those of us with a linux server in the closet, it would be EXCELLENT!

  24. What would I do with the agency? on Goldin to Retire from NASA · · Score: 1

    So if you were NASA's next director, what would you do with the agency? Men on Mars? Probes on Europa? Trans-warp drives?

    duh... I'd send a probe to Uranus.

  25. Re:Because upgrading IE often hoses your machine. on Mozilla 0.9.5 · · Score: 1

    what about us people that upgraded to the latest IE with no stability or speed setbacks? I'm using IE6 and it's great....
    i download mozilla now and then, but what i like about ie more is the ability to customize the address bar/menu bar/button bar/ all into one bar at the top to save space. mozilla isn't as customizable without writing some annoying theme or something...
