  1. Re:innocent until proven? on Thomas' Testimony and the RIAA's Near-Fatal Error · · Score: 1

    If she is innocent until proven guilty - why does she have to give up her hard-drive and "prove" her innocence? Nobody is forced to prove innocence. The RIAA should be given the challenge, without her hard drive, of proving guilt. /shrug (IE: external records, etc.)

    How is this modded insightful, it is factually wrong.

  2. Re:I'm not surprised on Ubisoft CEO Says Next Gen Consoles Closer Than We Think · · Score: 1

    I personally am planning to get a PS2 in 2010 or so.

  3. Re:Yeah, April Fools... on Conficker Worm Strike Reports Start Rolling In · · Score: 1

    I know no one RTFA's but come in, the article linked says it is an april fools joke.

  4. Re:The real question here is... on Slashdot Launches User Achievements · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Posting to get my achievement.

  5. Re:Who cares? on US House Kills Proposed Delay For Digital TV Transition · · Score: 1

    "If my three thousand dollars worth of televisions, VCRs, et cetera stop working" You have three thousand dollars worth of entertainment, go and buy the boxes if you need them. You are obviously doing well enough not to expect the government to give you everything you need/want.

    You know what upsets me about this whole thing... they should have never had the coupons in the first place.

  6. Sounds like to me that the IT staff should be the ones in trouble.

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: [after discovering Private Pyle's unlocked footlocker] Jesus H Christ. Private Pyle, why is your footlocker unlocked?

    Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, I don't know, sir.

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Private Pyle, if there is one thing in this world that I hate, it is an unlocked footlocker! You know that don't you?

    Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, yes, sir.

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: If it wasn't for dickheads like you, there wouldn't be any thievery in this world, would there?

    Private Gomer Pyle: Sir, no, sir.

    Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: GET DOWN!

  7. Re:America is dying on President Signs Law Creating Copyright Czar · · Score: 1

    You know you can't just blame Bush on this one... dems control the majority and all. Not that Bush should have just veto'd this anyways.

  8. Re:Conspiracy Theory! on Slashdot Announces Idle Section · · Score: 1

    Slashdot has adds? Oh yah, adblock made me forgot about things like that.

  9. Re:Anyone else have problems getting here? on Wikipedia Blocks Suspicious Edits From DoJ · · Score: 1

    Having the same issues.

  10. What it would take to get me to buy one of these on The Cult of Kindle · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I read around 1 book a month right now, and except for a few series I get most of these from the Library. Since they already have DRM on these things, let DRM do what it does best.. limit access. Let me for a fee (5-10 bucks a month, or .99 a book) check out a book for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks the DRM can function and stop letting me access the book. I am ok renting something as long as it is known as a rental. I want to OWN what I purchase, and as we all know here on slashdot... DRM=You don't Own.

  11. In Other News on 90% of IT Professionals Don't Want Vista · · Score: 5, Funny

    90% of fish like it better in the water than out.

  12. Re:The real question on Why Everyone Should Hate Cellphone Carriers · · Score: 1

    www.einsteinwireless.net A wireless company with no contracts, no sim locked phones. 35 bucks a month for unlimited calling time. No good if you live outside of wisconsin, but at least one company does get it.

  13. Re:Still out of place... on Halo In Church Points Out ESRB Flaws · · Score: 1

    Out of place.. maybe. Bait and switch... yes. But anything that gets more butts in the pews is what the church is looking for after all. This is really no different from Bingo for old people at church. Or the quiliting club. The churches doing this are just reaching out to the current generation.

  14. Re:getting gouged by whom? on Getting Gouged by Geeks · · Score: 1

    You are testing DC volage here, you don't need an O'scope. If you don't trust your digital multi meter, get an analog meter. That would be much cheaper, and easier to move around than a damned Oscope.

  15. Slashdot is 10 years old on A Brief History of Slashdot Part 1, Chips & Dips · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't get it, so what if it is 2 years old?

  16. Re:Not to be a nitpicker... on Alzheimer's Could Be a Third Form of Diabetes · · Score: 1

    There is also what they call type 1.5. This presents alot like type 2, but quickly turns to type 1. IIRC the former Surgeon General had this type. So alzheimers would be type 5 really. As a side note this was posted by a person married to a Type 1 diabetic. As another side note we are getting the new CGMS for my wife some time next week, and my insurance covers it at 90%!

  17. Re:wisp coops are the way to go on Why Municipal Wi-Fi Networks have Been Such a Flop · · Score: 2, Informative

    I have had experience with the motorola canopy gear. And IMHO all I can say is "stay away." The boxes require frequent resets, the radios fail far too often, and they are quite temperature sensitive. They do fine once it is cold, or warm or hot.. but when the temp is changing they go haywire. Wish I could offer you a different product, but we have not found a replacement for these units yet.

  18. Re:Games and Reality on Iraq War Veterans Protest America's Army Title · · Score: 1

    As some one who HAS BEEN to boot camp, and played AA, I have to say that you are an idoit. If you honestly think AA gets you ready for boot camp I think you are missing a large point of what boot camp is. How did this get modded up so high?

  19. Just have to on Wii Breaks Sales Records in UK · · Score: 1

    -insert funny comment about how my Wii is big enough to break stuff in the UK-

  20. Re:Two targets? on Riding an Ion Drive to the Asteroid Belt · · Score: 2, Funny

    "In fact, I was most impressed with the few probes which altered their trajectories in mid-mission to do swing-bys of targets of opportunity. You need flexible fuel provision to do that!" So this thing runs on E85?

  21. The real news on Microsoft Apologizes for Issues, Extends Halo 3 Beta · · Score: 5, Funny

    The real news here is that microsoft admitted to a mistake, AND fixed it in short order. Wish they would do the same for operating systems.

  22. I see a Jack Thompson case in the making on Call of Duty 4 Announced · · Score: 1

    With all the anti-war sediment in the US right now, I wonder if good ol' Jack is going to jump on this one too. He could sue saying this game leads to the youth wanting to join up and fight the terrorists, and then they get killed. But maybe not as he has left America's army alone so far...

  23. Alternative to vonage? on The End for Vonage? · · Score: 1, Informative

    I have been a happy vonage customer for over a year now, cheap unlimited phone is great. Looks like this could be the start of the end for that. So what is next? Anyone use Skype and like it? Is Skype next to be sued? Could anyone tell me alternative to Vonage other than Skype. I want my cheap phone service damnit!

  24. Is this a surprise? on 40 Percent of World of Warcraft Players Addicted · · Score: 0

    I mean the games name is World of Warcrack isn't it?

  25. Who would want this? on Warner to Sell Music on DVD · · Score: 1

    Who would want to buy some thing that can't be played in thier car stereo, home stereo, disc man, or any other multiple CD players everyone has? Instead you can play it on your laptop (if you have a DVD drive laptop of course), home computer, or DVD player. I really can't see this being the next big thing. And I don't care if this DVD has low quality rips of the songs included for you. Who really wants to buy a product just to have to then burn a CD, or upload to thier MP3 players. You now have to purchase a product, then have all the same hassles if you had downloaded them.
