  1. Hmmm...this sounds familiar on Human Species May Split In Two · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or does this idea sound familiar? Oh yeah, I thought I read it somewhere: The Time Machine by H.G. Wells.

  2. Re:There is no more DRM! on MS Security VP Mike Nash Replies · · Score: 1

    It is now RMS (Rights Management Services). By changing the name they made it less evil. Yea Microsoft! He didn't say that. DRM is still part of the Microsoft strategy, but seems to be shifted towards media. RMS looks like it's ANOTHER policy for their software.

  3. Re:must be more zero tolerance on Felony For Refreshing a Web Page? · · Score: 1

    Witness the firepower of a fully armed and operational slashdotting!!

    As well as Farked, Google Newsed, Digged, Delicioused, blogged, newspapered, Drudged...

    I'm no doctor, but I think it's dead...

  4. Dear Lord, I hope not... on Microsoft Unveils New Design Studio · · Score: 1
    "In some ways, Microsoft may be looking to eliminate the role of the designer in the future," he said. "Microsoft wants to turn developers into designers."

    Oh, I hope this guy is wrong. I'd agree that there seems to be a bit too much distance between designers and developers, but the idea of developers doing design work scares me. It's a different style of thinking and creativity, and most developers can't make that leap (I know I can't). Just take a look at the vast majority of open source projects for examples.

  5. I hope not... on Might Episodes VII - IX Still Be Made? · · Score: 1

    Star Wars Episode III is "not necessarily the last of the Star Wars movies."

    I hope Ebert is wrong on this and Lucas saw what has happened to the Star Trek franchise of late. That whole universe what kept alive to milk it for all it was worth, and it died a slow, painful death. Episode III needs to be the end of Star Wars and it should be allowed to stand on its own, not sucked dry.

  6. Re:Go for it! on Apple to Buy TiVo? · · Score: 1
    "Buy a computer AND a DVR" at a switch of a button you can browse the 'net on your hdtv, click a button and you're back to watching the shows you missed while browsing on the 'net. Hell, it wouldn't be so out of the ordinary that the DVR and OS can mingle together in some capacity (but not too much as they would want to keep the setup as simple as possible).
    Maybe I'm missing something, but why would Apple want to do that? An assuming they did want to do it, how much would this thing cost? Apple computers traditionally cost a bundle, so wouldn't they be giving away part of their business? Personally, I think your post is a great idea but I don't see Apple going for it.
  7. Re:5 changes? I think not on Star Wars DVD Box Set Released · · Score: 1

    The submitter never stated there were only five changes, and neither does CNN. The article states there are five major changes and goes into detail about what they are.

    Chill out, this isn't worth having an aneurism over.

  8. Does this mean... on Internet Enabled... Toilet Paper Dispenser · · Score: 1

    I can crap all over Microsoft's stock reports?

  9. So if one of the mechs was powered by Microsoft... on Giant Mecha News · · Score: 1

    would that give new meaning to the Blue Screen of Death?

  10. Other stories in today's news... on Rand Expert Says To Keep Mum About Killer Asteroids · · Score: 1

    Bruce Willis has been spotted at NASA and mentioned something about drilling and a Nuclear warhead.

  11. "Smart" video game systems on Congress To Consider Age Limits On Violent Games · · Score: 1

    Some TVs have chips in them that don't let people watch a show if it's above a certain rating, so when are we going to see video game systems with a similar device in them that try to keep kids from playing games above the rating parents set?

    Or...are they here already and I just don't know about it?
