  1. Re:PSP is MIPS on Android Applications Soon To Run On MIPS32 Chips · · Score: 1

    Why was this modded redundant? This should be Interesting, if nothing else. A nice screen, wifi, removable storage, hardware accelerated media playback..

  2. Re:Umm What? on 20 Years of MS Word and Why It Should Die a Swift Death · · Score: 4, Funny

    Why did this end up on the front page of /.?

    You must be new here.

  3. Re:It might die, but not swiftly on 20 Years of MS Word and Why It Should Die a Swift Death · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Woo! I'm one of eleven! (A better question is, how many people, myself included, like the ribbon interface better than the terrible tangle that was the menu system?)

  4. Re:1984 on Student Suing Amazon For Book Deletions · · Score: 1

    I wish I could give you all my mod points forever.

  5. Re:Class Action Settlement.. on Student Suing Amazon For Book Deletions · · Score: 2, Insightful

    that can provide a proof of purchase.

    These were all downloaded digitally. Not only that, they were already refunded their money for the purchase, why should Amazon give them more money back?

  6. Re:1984 on Student Suing Amazon For Book Deletions · · Score: 1

    Lucky. We had to read the latter, and I would have done anything to read 1984 instead of that, and Catcher in the Rye. Ugh.

  7. Re:Down with the aspie defense! on British Hacker Loses Review of Asperger's Defense · · Score: 1

    But what if it were Linux? If they were stupid enough to make the root password 'password', it's not Linux's fault, and it's not Microsoft's fault for the gov. being dumb enough to leave their computers open.

  8. Or... on EMI Only Selling CDs To Mega-Chains From Now On · · Score: 1

    "Screw the rules, I have money!"

  9. Re:Well, no. on EMI Only Selling CDs To Mega-Chains From Now On · · Score: 1

    And they probably have the Parental Advisory discs, too.

  10. Re:Thank you for your recent iTunes purchase! on RIAA Says "Don't Expect DRMed Music To Work Forever" · · Score: 1

    Psst, iTunes sells music in AAC!
    (Woosh, yes, I know)

  11. Re:Seriously? on RIAA Says "Don't Expect DRMed Music To Work Forever" · · Score: 1

    But that isn't always the case. My $FAVORITE_BAND released their last album a couple of years ago. They had a couple singles on the radio, but some of the album-only songs were even better, and there are a couple tracks that weren't singles that suck. But I would still rather have gotten the disk then buy individual tracks, because that means I could have missed the great ones until I heard them in concert. I just wish any of this money changing hands went directly to the artist. Then again it's usually the record company's fault for singles and suck. (You need to do a song about X)

  12. Re:It can never be human like... on Games That Design Themselves · · Score: 2, Funny

    I we humans

    Except when it comes to using the English language, apparently.

  13. Re:Microsoft Genii? on First MS Retail Stores Will be In Scottsdale, AZ and Mission Viejo, CA · · Score: 1

    Hopefully people more competent than the Geek Squad.

  14. Re:look at it this way on First MS Retail Stores Will be In Scottsdale, AZ and Mission Viejo, CA · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Though to be honest, these could be a big hit (unfortunately, for the cause) if they sold and repaired Xbox 360's. On the spot exchange for a unit, just like Apple stores do.

  15. Re:All I know for sure on First MS Retail Stores Will be In Scottsdale, AZ and Mission Viejo, CA · · Score: 1

    ba dum tsh!

  16. Re:Talk about a lousy job... on First MS Retail Stores Will be In Scottsdale, AZ and Mission Viejo, CA · · Score: 1

    In all seriousness, we can at least hope their techs they know what they're doing, like Apple's Geniuses and much unlike Best Buy's Geek Squad.

  17. Re:Respect rules of the road, not just the officia on Rude Drivers Reduce Traffic Jams · · Score: 1

    Part of the problem with this is that nobody ever goes -at- the speed limit. If everyone traveled the same speed, and someone were going slower, then you could pass on the left lane, and everything would be smooth. But it never works.

  18. Re:atlanta on Rude Drivers Reduce Traffic Jams · · Score: 1

    Where would you buy those? At the jerk store?

  19. Re:Yeah, take THAT Verizon! on Antitrust Pressure Mounts For Wireless Providers · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm well aware of that, but most end users don't know about that (unless they're told by someone who does.) Also, you usually get free roaming.. inside the country. 'Leaving' the country is an entirely different roaming situation they neglect to inform you about.

  20. Re:FUD on Apple Says iPhone Jailbreaking Could Hurt Cell Towers · · Score: 1

    They've overtaken Windows Mobile,

    [citation needed]

  21. Re:Yeah, take THAT Verizon! on Antitrust Pressure Mounts For Wireless Providers · · Score: 4, Informative

    There are cities on the US/Canadian border that you can pick up Canadian towers, and they will indeed charge you for roaming.

  22. Re:YAWN on Apple Kills Google Voice Apps On the iPhone · · Score: 0

    These were not official Google applications.

  23. Re:Firefly on Which Game Series Would You Reboot? · · Score: 1

    Why would you want to restart it? Just continuing it would be fine. :( Unless maybe rebooting it to before Serenity.

  24. Re:Zelda? on Which Game Series Would You Reboot? · · Score: 1

    They're not restarts, there's actually a timeline involved (somewhere.) And alternate timelines. And a bunch of different Links (but not the same Link, rebooted)

  25. Re:Star Fox on Which Game Series Would You Reboot? · · Score: 1

    I'm fairly certain Star Fox 64 was awesome. The others, not so much.
