  1. Why dont they just get kicked out on Polite Cell Phones · · Score: 0

    That would be excellent if the theater people just simply kicked the person out with the loud phone. with no refund, and it doesnt matter if it is 10 seconds after that "please turn phones off" screen.

    Kick them out, without a refund (they can do that). And who gives a shit about that person not coming back, the rest of the audience will more than make up for it.

  2. Re:Not gonna happen. on Oracle to buy JBoss (and others) · · Score: 0

    Yeah right. I have a hard time believing ANYONE would resist a check of that magnitude... And yes it is easy right now to say you wouldnt, but then again you havent had the offer before you.

  3. Re:oh noes on Sony To Bundle UMDs With DVDs · · Score: 0

    People complained that an extra disc would need to be purchased. now they complain that it is a useless disc

  4. OMG who thinks of this garbage? on WoW the Next "Golf"? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Yeah right a video game is gonna replace the real life experience of being on a course...not to mention the fact they are two different games. Jesus, who is freebasing in such large quantities to think of these idiotic rantings?

  5. Re:promise me the moon on Should We Land on the Moon's Poles or Equator? · · Score: 0

    I think you fail to grasp just how unimportant the president actually is. Take a few poli sci classes then maybe you will grasp that leaders dont do much long term. Occasionally you have a great one that does some positives, but the bad ones dont send the nation to hell in 4-8 years. This is refering to modern nations.

  6. France surrenders to the War on P2P on Legal Victory for P2P in France · · Score: -1, Troll

    who would have thought?

  7. No. on Apple to Buy out Palm? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    well the headline asked a question, I answered it. because my answer has just as much authority as the wild speculation in the article... I honestly think the writers of these "xyz is gonna buy out abc" articles have a big dartboard with the names of various companies and they play madlibs to come up with "content"

  8. Re:promise me the moon on Should We Land on the Moon's Poles or Equator? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Swing and a miss... it was congress that was holding stuff up..Bush wasnt the issue. (but then again i bet you dont go a single day without griping about him (cause god knows he actually effects you in a meaningful daily basis)

  9. Re:The reality is... on CableCARD In-Depth · · Score: 1

    Um no it is not.. the DIY market is the freevo/mythtv/windows media center equiv boxes... they are not uploading anything.

  10. Re:Short Answer, no on CableCARD In-Depth · · Score: 1

    sure sure, because we all know that is how this will play out.... oh wait, OEM mfgs will sell the stuff. That is, in another 10 years when cable card actually exists.

  11. Re:The reality is... on CableCARD In-Depth · · Score: 1

    I havent really heard anyone that is against the DIY market. mainly because it is such a small market... the biggest concern right now is those that record, encode and bittorrent. that is a losing battle, but the DIY market is not the focus of htis type of crap

  12. Short Answer, no on CableCARD In-Depth · · Score: 2, Interesting

    it wont kill DIY because the cable card will be certified to the capture device, aka the WinTV card or whatever other card you would purchase.

  13. Just do what I did on Headphones in Corporate Culture? · · Score: 1

    and get moved downstairs...now I have speakers and can have tunes going all day long without a problem. I am at work so the volume doesnt need to be that loud to begin with, just something to get rid of background noise and to work to .

  14. Re:Just went through this myself on Cutting the Cost of Household Bills? · · Score: 1

    * No cable, no gaming accounts * No alchohol, no drugs, no lottery tickets you must be joking? Most college students try to save money for exactly those expenses

  15. Re:"from the must-go-faster dept." on Another Look At Mozilla's BugFix Rate · · Score: 1

    except the normal user doesnt realize it has consumed that much, doesnt care, doesnt even know how much RAM they have... basically those stats are for geeks to get all flustered over. However for a normal user, they dont care, they dont notice and it isnt a big deal to them I simply cant wait for the memory problems to be fixed, so people will stop bitching on forums

  16. Re:Rights? on Blizzard Techs Talk Login Times, Not Gay Rights · · Score: 1

    Seems to me they have no rights to organize on Blizzard's servers. but on the other hand, blizzard cant deny this group, but this group COULD deny others...interesting (although i think blizzard is dumb and shouldnt care if it is a gay group, nazi group, antisemetic, pro nuking the whales group and just let other people make fun of them)

  17. Re:Oh Really? on BitTorrent to Sue Over Trademark · · Score: 1

    License revoked.

  18. Re:Free Software? on BitTorrent to Sue Over Trademark · · Score: 5, Informative

    Any reputable client does not contain spyware/adware anyways so this wont matter to the OSS ones

    basically the scum that repackage a client and trick people into downloading it (on some trackers) will have a problem...which is great.
    screw them, they are scum

  19. Re:Well on Open Source vs. the Database Vendors · · Score: 1

    And you honestly believe those companies are gonna take responsibity? what are you gonna do? sue them, allow me to laugh for awhile because that idea is adorable... truth of the matter is, they can say "hey its not our problem even if it may be our fault" and there isnt a damn thing you can do about it.

  20. Re:Hybrids/Electic purity on Solar Energy Becoming More Pervasive · · Score: 1

    oh you mean like those idiots that spend $500 to make their exhaust sound as if you punched a hole in it with a screwdriver... or so that it sounds like a hedge trimmer....

    either way, you might be getting noticed but it is because people are laughing at you

  21. So basically: on UNIX Security: Don't Believe the Truth? · · Score: 1

    he thinks Unix sucks because it cant completely protect the home directory, but can protect the system files... as opposed to windows where the attack would wipe out both... basically if you backed up those photos you will never look at, you lost nothing with the unix system and have to rebuild the windows system... I dont get it...not having to rebuild a system sounds better to me (while losing files) than losing the system and the files)

  22. Can Slashdot stop posting stories that on PS3 to Act as Digital Video Recorder? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    have headlines ending with a question mark. Why are those stories even posted, they are simply rampant speculation.. Here is a story to post: "Will the PS3 store photos from digital cameras?"

  23. Re:open source? on New Photo Fraud Detection Software · · Score: 1

    That is one groups interpretation of what OSS is.. for many other people, including in practice that is not necessarily true.

  24. Re:Would have been much on Tech Support to the Stars · · Score: 1

    oooh he told the scary IRA to go fuck themselves....wow he is as brave as chuck norris.

  25. Re:I would just allow any guild theme on No Same Sex Marriage In World of Warcraft? · · Score: 1

    Yes, I would allow them also because honestly, it doesnt matter. the only problems they cause is people bitching about them.. tell them to shut up if they dont like it or they can leave. people have the right to form idiotic groups if they want and i fail to see why a service should tell them not to...other than unspecificed problems (aka some losers bitching)
