  1. ROW ROW FIGHT DAH POWAH on Japanese Bureaucrats Reprimanded for Wikipedia Editing · · Score: 2, Funny

    Edit the uneditable, change the unchangeable, ROW ROW, FIGHT DAH POWAH

  2. Re:Clevelanders! on Slashdot 10-Year Anniversary Party Updates · · Score: 1

    I'd come, but I am only 17. Maybe I will show up for the 15-year :)

  3. Zefrank on Sony BMG Says Ripping CDs is Stealing · · Score: 1

    You know you are really only hurting the office slaves, right? This made me think of a great quote by Zefrank (you can watch it here: http://www.zefrank.com/theshow/archives/2006/06/062106.html) (after deriding a random Delta airlines employee for not giving him a refund) ...Oh, right. Maybe I should send a note to their complaints department. No, that just means interfacing with a group of employees that have been psychologically trained to placate you while minimizing the cost to their company. Oh. Maybe I could fart in the seats while pretending to adjust that little air nipple. Or fill out all the cross word puzzles and sudukos in the in flight magazine with letters that form "Screw you Delta". Or sprinkle all over their toilet seats. No, that just screws low paid employees and besides, then you'd be acting like a terrorist. A terrorist?! Yeah, terrorists are desperate assholes who see no institutionalized recourse to address their grievances so they resort to random acts of violence in order to instill fear into the general population. That's messed up, I don't wanna be a part of that, so what do I do? Hmmm. Bend over and take it.

  4. YIFF IN HELL on Klingons to Take on Furries in Bowling Match · · Score: 0, Troll

    Yiff in hell, furfag.

  5. Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, on UK Schools Will Fight Cyberbullying · · Score: 1

    and Tits :) Arrest me.

  6. Re:there are more leaks! on Leaks Prove MediaDefender's Deception · · Score: 1

    From the link: "This is a MySQL database dump from a Mediadefenderserver, showing tracking and decoy file information for the Gnutella network. Thanks to MDD and Seaking for making this possible." FUCK YEAH SEAKING

  7. How to open the .mbox file from the torrents? on Internal Emails of An RIAA Attack Dog Leaked · · Score: 3, Funny

    I see a .mbox file... how do I open it?

  8. Re:Some videos on Company Demos Personal Aircraft, Future Jetpack · · Score: 1

    German videos with Strapons? Last time I watched one of those I got a visit from the FBI's Partyvan .

  9. Deus Ex on NSF-Funded "Dark Web" to Battle Terrorists · · Score: 1

    I hope to GOD they didn't take the GEP gun, for the NSF's sake.

  10. When was 2.3 released? on Word 2007 Vs. Open Office 2.3 Writer · · Score: 1

    I only see 2.2.1 on Openoffice.org.

  11. Holy crap, this is awesome. on Content-Aware Image Resizing · · Score: 1

    I wonder when we can get their software that does this...? The "erase" function almost seems like a better then image inpainting.

  12. They will just do what they did with CableCard on FCC Head Supports Ala Carte Cable · · Score: 1

    AKA pay lip service to the feds. "You can get just the Sci-Fi channel for 5 dollars a month! (plus 50 dollars operating expenses)!" "Or get our premium package for 60 dollars a month! Over 9000 channels!"

  13. UAC on Carmack's Armadillo Aerospace Rocket Crashes and Burns · · Score: 5, Funny

    Shame, I was already to invest in his new company, dubbed the "Union Aerospace Corporation"

  14. Wow, I live in this area on Gunplay Blamed For Cutting Fiber · · Score: 1

    And I was getting severe packet loss until recently... maybe this was the cause...

  15. Re:Already Released on PC Bioshock Demo Now Available · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually, there is an interesting story behind the torrent. Someone from 4chan.org discovered that a modification to a html file on fileplanet allowed people to download the demo almost a day ahead of time. Fileplanet removed this exploit, but there was already a torrent by then.

  16. Re:We'll if you are 72 or so on Rare Meteor Event to Inform on Dangerous Comets · · Score: 3, Funny

    That certianly explains how the string instrument got its name.

  17. No music in Quake 1 or 2 on Steam. on The Aftermath of QuakeCon · · Score: 2, Informative

    Ugh. They have yet again left the music out of the Quake 1 and 2 games from Steam (they left the music out of Quake 2 that was bundled with Quake 4). While it is certianly a sad thing for Quake 2, it is a TRAGEDY for Quake 1, which had it's soundtrack done by Trent Razor. It is a shame to leave the music out of these great games...

  18. How is installing modchips illegal? on Mod Chip Raids In Perspective · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's my hardware, I can plug whatever I want into it. I can have other people do this for me. It is my hardware, I can use it as a doorstop, I can flush it down the toilet, I can light it on fire. The companies may be able to entitle themselves to software restrictions (DMCA encryption laws etc.), but when you come right down to it its just a hunk of metal and silicon. If the guy in the article was really just installing modchips, then I don't see why this warrents ANY law enforcement actiSDFwesfwefwe *NO CARRIER*

  19. Quake on The Aftermath of QuakeCon · · Score: 3, Informative

    Well, its not Doom, but the original Quake maps were open sourced by Mr. Romero recently: http://rome.ro/2006/10/quake-map-sources-released. html

  20. The problem with in game advertising is simple. on In-Game Advertising To Top $800 Million By 2012 · · Score: 1

    In game adverstising can add to a games atmosphere. Actual Pepsi/Coke machines could make the game seem more "real". The problem is developers don't do this at all. Example 1: Battlefield 2142. Why the hell are there billboards for Intel Processors in the fucking countryside of France?

  21. Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea on National ID May Have Killed Immigration Bill · · Score: 1

    for the Devil sends the beast with wrath because he knows the time is short Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast for it is a human number its number is six hundred and sixty six. *Iron Maiden scream*

  22. This is retarded. on Privatunes Anonymizes iTunes Plus · · Score: 1

    "Anonymize iTunes tracks"? All it does is strip out metadata. You can do this yourself with one basicially any application that either remuxes, converts the stream, or alters tag/meta information. Pretty much any music player out there. Hell, even Apple's own iTunes can do this! I could understand the use if it could do batch processing on your entire iTunes library, but this tool cannot even do that.

  23. Re:XP is _still_ better then linux and it's 7 year on Pimp Your XP · · Score: 0

    This is actually a fairly old troll with some of the words changed. People on Slashdot get trolled too easily sometimes :(

  24. Re:So someone got the idea on Pimp Your XP · · Score: 1

    For those who don't get it, read this: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316654 This is why I stopped using GNOME.

  25. Ah the wonders of a Democratic congress... on Congress Considers Forcing Travel Registration · · Score: 1

    It is good know that the 2006 elections changed the policy of Congress so much.
