  1. DOJ on Vista Games Cracked to Run on XP · · Score: 0

    Seems to me that it would.

    I think between wiretapping, major league sports and election results, not to mention all of the RIAA cases, the DOJ is a little preoccupied. Microsoft may be taking an oppertunity to run with what they can, while they can. But they would *never* dare to do such a thing, would they?

    Of course, there could be somewhere in the EULA that only "allows" you to play on Vista, or you're in breach with the contract. Also something they would *never* do.

  2. Re:Inkjets are for numpties on InkJet Printers Lying, Or Just Wrong? · · Score: 0

    Well, since you can't run down to your corner Wal-mart and pick a color laser up, most end users still choose inkjets. And since most people only seem to see immediate cost instead of the long run, they will also choose inkjets, because they're still "cheaper".

  3. Unix's Ticking Clock on Plan 9 Running on Blue Gene · · Score: 1

    So I suppose it will replace every UNIX system by 2038?

  4. About the plan on Plan 9 Running on Blue Gene · · Score: 4, Funny

    What happened to Plans 1-8? And could you make a module that corrupts the output, and call it Plan B? I think it may be a little too early to grasp exactly what the story is here. Where's my caffeine?

  5. Open Source Movie on Blender Foundation to Create Open Movie, Open Game · · Score: 2, Funny

    Could the plot also be open source? I have a few scripts handy. Except they're not movie scripts. :(

  6. Re:Soprano's and tech? on The Sopranos Ends With a ... · · Score: 1

    It's about the 42"+ Plasma or LCD. (But they left that part out)

  7. Testing on Genetic Information on Major Diseases Uncovered · · Score: 1

    In the future it may be possible to test people for combinations of genes to find out their lifetime risk of a disease, which would enable them to modify their lifestyle or undergo screening.

    And as such will adjust your insurance premiums accordingly.
  8. They must read all articles on Slashdot. on SimCity 5 Passed Off From Maxis · · Score: 1

    Looks like someone has taken a previous article to heart?

    http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/06/05/ 1559218

  9. Re:Subject on AT&T CEO Attacks Network Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Because pillaging is not a right protected by the constitution. ;)

  10. Game Box Design on Establishing A Beachhead In A Crowded Genre · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think UserFriendly already answered this.

    http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20021009& mode=classic

  11. Hardware Lock-In on HardOCP Spends 30 Days With MacOSX · · Score: 2, Insightful

    On one hand it limits the available options and raises prices because of a lack of competition, but on the other hand it makes the product more stable in a sense of no mystery products/drivers that could break something else on the system. The review seemed fair in what I got out of it.

  12. Heh on A Hardware-Software Symbiosis · · Score: 4, Funny

    "We could use the software to hide flaws in the hardware, which would allow designers to release products sooner because problems could be fixed later," explains Hazelwood.
    Looks like we have a winner!
  13. Re:Sound, you say... on Turning Heat Into Sound Into Electricity · · Score: 1

    I suppose it's a matter of time before we get DRM enabled cars.

  14. Re:Where have I seen this before? on Internet Tax Imminent? · · Score: 1

    You explain it simple enough for them to vaguely understand, and they'll begin to find a way to tax it. Although all campaign related emails will be tax free.

  15. Sound, you say... on Turning Heat Into Sound Into Electricity · · Score: 1

    Why bother turning the sound to electricity? Then I could just load up some music to the car, and play the sound as the engine warms up :) I suppose that's why it's not getting put into cars :)

  16. Re:Surely..... on Google et al. Want 700 MHz Auction Opened Up · · Score: 1

    While Google's at it, they could just buy the FCC. Not that it'd be the first time.

  17. Dropping Charges on HP Skates Away From SEC Charges · · Score: 1

    Maybe they need to invest in some plastic bags to put those droppings in next time. Or I suppose they could flush it down the "tubes" where the rest of it is.

  18. Re:Wait... on Senator Warns of Email Tax This Fall · · Score: 1

    Since SMS *could* be considered a form of email from a government standpoint, would they charge tax on that, too?

  19. Re:Time to sell your shares in the ISS... on Jack Thompson Sues Microsoft · · Score: 1

    You know, this is a good way to get them all confined to one place. I think a single redeemer would suffice...
