  1. Re: Difficult on Linux Games Not Selling · · Score: 1

    I tried to think of another way to say something was difficult, but it turned out to be a sweet pain in the ass.

    -The guy above

  2. Re:Nice idea, but... on The Virtual Tip Jar · · Score: 1

    People pay much less attention to the artist than the actual music.

    Then why did so many smash their Milli Vanilli records?
    Did the music suddenly sound different because it was two fat guys singing?

  3. Re:Can I stop working now? on Adobe Sues Over Tabbed Widgets · · Score: 1

    You posted the exact same link, but I still won't call you an idiot. Try this one.

  4. Re:Wouldn't this be easily abused? on ReplayTV's Remote Remote · · Score: 1

    [I hereby grant full permission for any and all to retransmit, archive, republish and broadcast all of my postings

    Well thank God for that.

  5. News? on Official AIM for Linux · · Score: 1

    Wow, this is fantastic news. Way to be on the cutting edge, AOL. Sorry, but this release doesn't even warrant a copy of our home game. I still don't forgive you for using the Jetsons theme music in your commercials.

    Is this a news item or an editorial you've posted?

  6. Re:Are they giving away free crack with compilers? on Are Buffer Overflow Sploits Intel's Fault? · · Score: 1

    Nice example of why you don't need the compiler to help, he said sarcastically, while looking at the line cBuffer[ch] = /0;

  7. Re:Pilot Advice on Ask Robert X. Cringely · · Score: 1

    Robert, what are you having for lunch? Note to moderators: Please read the bio before moding this. He eats food, ya know.

  8. Re:Pilot Advice on Ask Robert X. Cringely · · Score: 1

    And when you're done please mod it down.

  9. Re:Nice License choice on Interbase Open Source Release · · Score: 1

    There are no good guys or bad guys

    Yes there are.

  10. Re:YOu bet it eh? on Apple Punishes ATI For Leaking The Cube? · · Score: 1

    If you're proven wrong are you REALLY gonna cut it off, or just back down? Like the guy who said he'd eat his mouse if the G4 cube was real?

    If you're making a statement, you'd better stick to it, or I lose ALL respect for you.


    He didn't say he'd do it if the chipset wasn't hardwired, he said he's willing to make that bet, with his left nut as his stake. If you want him to stand by it, you have to offer something on the other side of the bet.

  11. Re:Documentation? on Microsoft's New Language · · Score: 1

    Does anybody else find it humorous that the O'Reilly books for VB have dogs on eh cover

    I don't get it.

    ... as in "This language is a dog"?:)

    Oh, ok. Now I get it.

  12. Re:Logical error... on Penthouse.com Goes After Usenet Posters · · Score: 1

    Well said.

  13. Re:Java will find a limited niche on Swing · · Score: 1

    When you say things like that with no supporting evidence, it only makes *you* look silly.
    ...
    You have it exactly backwards, you know - it really frees the programmer to do interesting things.

    I've read your reply several times, but haven't found your supporting evidence. Did you forget to include it?

  14. Usefulness outside the States on CmdrTaco's Week with Tivo · · Score: 1

    How useful would TiVo or ReplayTV be outside the States? I'm in Costa Rica, but we receive network programming out of Denver. (And I'm not going to let the thing call the States to find out what's on).

  15. Re:Your .sig is stupid on Is "coke.ch" A Violation of Coca-Cola's (tm)? · · Score: 0

    The whole flippin' point is you can't have all three.

  16. Re:nice grammar on Pirates Steal Negative $1,400,000,000 from Music Industry · · Score: 1

    Perhaps articles such as these should be posted once in a while to ferret out people who can't comprehend them so that they can be banned from reading slashdot.

  17. Re:How about something like... on Open Source, Closed Talk · · Score: 1

    This would also allow people to opt in and out, legally, and at will. Make the option avaliable to all (AC and those with accounts) and, voila! Problem solved.

    What happens when opted-in posts contain quotes from opted-out posts? Does the opted-out propagate?

  18. Re:easily hacked on Author Unknown · · Score: 1
    Learn a new language and make your irresponsible ravings in that.

    I'm not so sure. I've recently become reasonably proficient in Spanish, and I recognize my own patterns in how I construct sentences.

  19. Re:Pshaw! This one's easy! on Author Unknown · · Score: 1
    How did that "Mr. Montag" get in there?

  20. Re:Good point- Churches figure prominently on The Undergrowth of Science · · Score: 1
    Let's see... It rained for 40 days and 40 nights, and the water covered the highest mountains. That's what, 20,000 feet? So, 40 days is 960 hours. That works out to more than 20 Feet per hour of rain. Anyone who's ever been caught in a storm that fell at a rate of four inches per hour knows how powerful that force is - the force of 20 feet per hour would certainly have torn apart any Arc in no time.

    Also, the pressure at 20,000 feet below is enormous. Certainly enough to crush all the trees and such.

    And where did all that water go?

  21. Re:I'm sorry... on The Undergrowth of Science · · Score: 1
    That evolution occurs is fact. The Theory of Evolution is an attempt at explaining how it happens. The thoery may or may not be correct, but that has nothing to do with the existence of the phenomenon.

  22. Re:RIAA is taking legal action. on Easy MP3 Distribution · · Score: 1
    Are you saying it's illegal for me to record and share my rendition of "Mr. Tambourine Man" with the world?

    You'd have to pay royalties. But you certainly can record and distribute songs in the public domain. That's why all those early low-budget monster movies used classical music.

  23. Re:There is a Linux version on Easy MP3 Distribution · · Score: 1
    Take a break man. There's no source code to oranges, but do you eat them?

    Whaddaya mean? The source code is published in every cell.

  24. Re:So its a math-nerd thing then? on The \year=2000 TeX calendar · · Score: 1

    Ugh, I meant its, not it's.

    You shouldn't have meant it. You used it correctly. "it's" is the contraction of it is. "its" is the possessive.
