  1. Re:the site is for the rich, but on eBay For Millionaires · · Score: 1

    It's depressing that rich people post auctions in ALL CAPS too.

    I always figured that it was just leotards on ebay.

    Also, apparently slashdot did not let me post this comment in all caps. That must be why this place seems so civil.

    CTO: Hey Bob, I have a great idea. Let's call our cutting edge and forward looking company Tunnel Vision, so they know what they are getting into when they need out of the box solutions.

    CEO aka Bob: Great idea, make it so. But we are too broke for the domain www.tunnelvision.com. Lets make another URL with a random number tagged on the end.

    CTO: That's thinking out of the box!

    I don't seem to have this problem with my BMW.

    You are apparently not familiar with American ingenuity. = )

  6. Doesn't really matter anyways... on Plug vs. Plug — Which Nation's Socket Is Best? · · Score: 2, Funny

    The first thing I do when I land in a foreign nation is strip all my plugs and jam the bare wires in the outlet.

  7. A Bill Like This Would Be Financially Impossible on Secret Copyright Treaty Leaks. It's Bad. Very Bad. · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Even if this did pass, and comcast was told they had to police their customers... so what? Comcast doesn't go out of their way to fix my service when I am paying for it. Why would they go out of their way to stop my service AND my payment? They would just end up putting together some bullshit task force that would expand to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.

  8. Nothing to see here, just Spam. on An Inbox Is Not a Glove Compartment · · Score: 1

    Atleast the government is interested in the spam I get now...

    Social engineering is generally excepted as the easiest way to hack a system.

    That companies name is Oracle, and it is going to happen over the next 5-10 years as they integrate Sun's product line.

  11. Re:2 GB of Storage = Fail on Hands-On Look At the BlackBerry Storm 2 · · Score: 1

    And the low end iPhone (aka phone to beat) ships with 8 gigs, and sells for $100 USD. The high end offers much more.

  12. 2 GB of Storage = Fail on Hands-On Look At the BlackBerry Storm 2 · · Score: 1

    2 GB of Storage = Fail. 'nuff said.

  13. Bits Not Decimals on 10/GUI — an Interface For Multi-Touch Input · · Score: 1

    Computing got revolutionized by using base 2, not base 10. This is be cause on/off (click/no click) is easy to understand. Imagine explaining to your parents or grand parents how to pan between applications. Touch/Pinch is doable, but once you get into 2/3/4 finger pinch, things get confusing. What really blows my mind is that there is no hand-mash predefined function.

  14. What the article failed to mention... on University of Virginia Student Graduates in One Year · · Score: 1

    ...was that he also laid 69% of UVA's female student body in the first semester, which is why he only took some 20-odd credits.
