  1. While they were in there... on Apple Updates iPhone and iPod Touch · · Score: 1

    If they were in there messing around with the hardware couldn't they have gone ahead and added real GPS? Maybe some 3G? They had it open already.

  2. No...he's just bored on Mark Cuban Declares War on GooTube · · Score: 1

    His utopia has gotten boring so he is just looking for something new to give him a rise. "Man I am sick of yelling at refs. Hey, is that Google over there lookin' at me funny?"

  3. Windows 98? on How To Manage a Security Breach? · · Score: 1

    If I were a consultant (and I am) the first order of business would have been to remove any and all Windows 98 workstations as soon as possible. If they were hesitant they would have to sign a waiver indemnifying me of the almost certain issues they will run into with a network running an outdated OS.

  4. Unbeatable at Tic Tac Toe? on Researchers Debut DNA-Powered Computer · · Score: 1

    Wha? Nobody is unbeatable at tic tac toe. A ferret can give you a cat's game.

  5. Push with Cingular on Treo on How Palm's Treo Got Boost From BlackBerry Lawsuit · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I actually have used both a Blackberry and a Treo 650 simultaneously for work (BB for email, Treo for phone features). Recently I installed the Cingular "Xpress" software. It can work with corporate email that does use a redirector but is actually pushing the email to my Treo. Sent items are synched, email read on the Treo are marked as read on my desktop, Calendar is synched, I can search corporate contact lists, etc. Not too bad. I haven't picked up my Blackberry in about a month.

  6. ...and even happier with cashed stocks on Google Execs Happy With $1 Salaries · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure how this can impress anyone. They made more than God cashing in their stocks. I say they are still being greedy. Why not take a $.01 salary. Wow...they are all about the company! Taking no salary! How many yachts to they need to water-ski behind !?! How much is enough !?!?

  7. Supplied information on Google Corrects Gmail Security Flaw · · Score: 0

    only users who supplied information to the hackers were potentially vulnerable

    Right...you were only vunerable if you gave hackers your login and password. Um, duh.

  8. That'll stop those counterfeiters... on Photoshop CS Adds Banknote Image Detection, Blocking? · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...who aren't smart enough to use older versions of their software!!

  9. Sheesh....already /. ed on Introducing The Dave/Dina Multimedia Distro · · Score: 1

    Oh well, should have started my ftp download a second sooner...

    Anyone doing this already with satisfactory results? I'm loving Tivo but am very close to trying out the all in one option.

  10. Cost break! on UIUC Creates World's Fastest Transistor Again · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sweet, now the 250 Ghz's will be totally affordable.

  11. Seems like PalmOS... on A Palm for Every Purpose · · Score: 0

    ...just isn't as flashy as the alternatives. It's certainly a turnoff when I'm shopping for a PDA.

  12. This guy is a sonofab*tch on Prince of Pop-ups · · Score: 1

    In lab tests, the response rate to what might be called "pop-up audio" has been outstanding, Shuster said, meaning such ads may soon be interrupting plenty of Web surfers, or at least those who don't manage to turn off their speakers fast enough.
    "They will be hugely effective," Shuster said. "I apologize in advance to everybody on the Internet who won't be able to surf the Net in quiet anymore."


    What a pompous ass this guy is! I apologize in advance?!? Anyone have this guys home address?

  13. Re:They can start by... on AOL, MS & Yahoo Unite On Anti-Spam Initiative · · Score: 1

    Replying to an AC is like talking to a wall but yes, I do know how to read headers. It's not always forged in my case.

  14. They can start by... on AOL, MS & Yahoo Unite On Anti-Spam Initiative · · Score: 1

    ...policing their own mail services. 90% of my spam comes from somewordsfollowedbyrandomnumbers@(yahoo.com|aol.co m).

  15. Good and bad on Patent Office Shows Record Backlog · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Good - The two year wait may discourage the frivolous inventions we see, like say This one

    Bad - Delays all the great technical inventions that are obsolete in a month

  16. "They" are still holding back on Secret Empire · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    What about the UFO's? Roswell? I want the real dirt!

  17. Re:TiVo on SONICblue Hits the Auction Block · · Score: 1

    Yeah, right. 'cause my parents have heard of a TiVo.

    Mine have, my wife's have, most of my friends parents have (xmas gifts from them), etc. Heck, my dad has TWO Tivo's now.

  18. On another note... on Wired News: 2002's Greatest Vaporware · · Score: 1

    Wow...forget the article. What about that Harris Direct ad along the right hand side! I wonder what it is they're trying to draw attention too...hmm...

  19. Re:Price on A Reconfigurable High-Res Network Camera · · Score: 3, Informative

    Agreed. We had a couple Axis cameras temporarily "donated" by customers that were incredible products (easy to setup, linux based). Had them pointing at a couple foosball tables. I would definitely get one if the price point wasn't so prohibitive.

  20. Should have upgraded on Due Diligence? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I didn't and paid for it. Within about 3 hours time, some bastard got in, created a superuser, DoS'd nasa.gov, spawned a few irc servers, and started scanning other IP's for the same exploit. Damn they work fast.

  21. Re:How soon after that ... on Dragon's Lair on X-box · · Score: 1

    Funny. Tired, but funny.

  22. Ahh yes... on Dragon's Lair on X-box · · Score: 1

    This game was so addicting I remember going on vacation to Hawaii and spending more time in the video game room than on the beach. Of course I was 14 at the time.

  23. Re:Anime? on ADV Confirms Cable Anime Channel · · Score: 1

    Please...enlighten me.

  24. Anime? on ADV Confirms Cable Anime Channel · · Score: 2, Funny

    What is the big deal with Anime anyway? Isn't it all just recycled Speed Racer cartoons?

  25. potential jobs? on Snort Creator Makes Good · · Score: 2, Funny

    Oh man, you HAD to mention that he was hiring. Instantly slashdotted.
