  1. As much as I hate to promote this store ... on Where Can I Find Keyboard Reviews? · · Score: 1

    The following store may have IBM keyboards like the one described in the post. However, I must note that: 1. The store is a secondhand dealership that might often make use of questionable business practices, (I might have worked there in the past, I may know what makes the place tick) and 2. The owner might have spent time in a Georgia "shock camp" for a felony conviction on possession and sale of stolen computer equipment. If the above two potentialities fail to dissuade, then said IBM keyboards may be acquisitable at: The Park Avenue Trading Post Rochester, NY (14607? 14620? 14613? check Big Yellow or the like)

  2. Anonymous Coward on Anonymity on the Internet · · Score: 1

    I think the above posts argue the stand against ACs quite well.

  3. the end-of-java-support dept.? on Microsoft Selling J++; Discontinuing Development · · Score: 1

    maybe this should be in the beginning-of-java-support dept?

  4. Re:More opinions dressed up as facts on End of Some Days, Beginning of Others · · Score: 1

    both this post and katz' original require a bit of clarification -- Armageddon is the final battle the Bible prophecies, not specifically any date or event associated with the new millenium. The new millenium, on the other hand, begins on a specific date, but has nothing to do with, necessarily, Armageddon.

  5. Old News on Spies in the Forests · · Score: 1

    Hope I'm not bursting anyone's bubble here, but this sort of software existed years ago -- a co-worker of mine worked on some part or another of it. The software was/is capable of sorting through various communications for key phrases, and it did/does so IN CONTEXT.

  6. Re:Dude! on 'Kyle's Mom' is Dead at Age 38 · · Score: 1

    Dude! Don't the moderators watch South Park? "Dude! That blows chunks!" is a commonly heard phrase on the show, and expresses, to a degree, the unfortunate nature of this loss ... so why is the score a -1?

  7. so much for innovation on SETI@Home Says Client 'Upgrades' Are a Bad Idea · · Score: 0

    so much for innovation and advancement of technology ... you'll never get where you're going if you're not moving forward.

  8. naughty on Comdex Mid-Week Quickies · · Score: 1

    hmmmm... cyber-legs.com maybe?

  9. 18? on Comdex Mid-Week Quickies · · Score: 1

    you don't have to be 18 anymore, do you? didn't COMDEX relax the no 18 on the floor rule for ultra-young execs that are starting to proliferate the COMDEX crowd?

  10. Re:RIAA activities on Copyright! · · Score: 1

    who got hit? and, how many mp3s could they possibly have been hosting on grace? 10mb threshold on the account, isn't there?

  11. gore on Vice President Gore Writes for Slate · · Score: 1

    "Sure wish we could get VP Gore to do a Slashdot interview, but every time we ask we get fobbed off on a different campaign staffer." And put how many sleep-deprived /.'rs to sleep? #RIT can put you know what you know where

  12. new thread on Leonid Meteor Shower Tonight · · Score: 1

    reply to the original post, not to users' comments. (same line as "threshold," "change," you'll find "reply")

  13. RIAA activities on Copyright! · · Score: 1

    Have any readers been affected by this? As a student at the Rochster Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY, I've noticed more and more monitoring of potential warez and MP3z increase drastically over the past two years ...

  14. lawsuits, breakups, etc. on Interview: Ask Antitrust Experts About Microsoft · · Score: 1

    What are the chances of M$ competition (both solvent and bankrupt, in business and out) successfully pursuing damages against Microsoft? Further, what about a consumer class action lawsuit - is it possible under current antitrust law? Where would liability fall if M$ is busted into Baby Bills, either by product/market or into vertical clones? Also, what would prevent one Baby Bill from gobbling up the rest, via fair and competitive business practices?

  15. ./ incoming on Quake3 Demo Test Released · · Score: 1

    with the advent of the demo launch, I guarantee http://www.quake3arena.com/demo/index.html gets /.'d REAL quick.

    "ruggedized" or military spec (milspec)

    oooops. don't you just hate when you're a little premature in thinking you first posted?

  18. addendum on NetSlaves · · Score: 1

    netslave == webmonkey == IT and CS students fresh out of college ?

  19. Re:utterly ridiculous on Blind Sue AOL for ADA Non-Compliance · · Score: 1

    But to equate broadcast transcripts to this case, the transcript would have to arrive WITH a radio broadcast; further, when's the last time you read a transcript that let you understand the music that was played?

  20. Re:i hate blind people on Blind Sue AOL for ADA Non-Compliance · · Score: 1

    Wow - who's the retard? I can only hope you stumble out of bed some morning, maybe in a rush to get to the bathroom, trip over your feet, and poke your eyes out on your thumbs.

  21. Re:Shockwave/Flash? on Blind Sue AOL for ADA Non-Compliance · · Score: 1

    Hardly. Were such a suit to be upheld, I'm sure Macromedia would spend the day or two of coding it might take to put the equivalent of alt tags into a Flash movie.

  22. utterly ridiculous on Blind Sue AOL for ADA Non-Compliance · · Score: 1

    If this discrimination suit is won against AOL, then the only indiscriminate manner of enforcement would be to apply to same standards to all media -- which I guess would mean a Braille edition of every book and newspaper, a "text-only" version of every radio station broadcast, etc. etc. etc. Like I said, utterly ridiculous. Litigous fools.

  23. Re:Nextels melt your brain! on Linkage between Cell-phone Usage and Long Term Memory Loss · · Score: 1

    And if you happen to leave your Nextel next to your computer monitor, you can observe odd screen flicker the moment before the phone rings ... either my monitor's psychic, or ... ?

  24. Re:RatHuman Considerations on Linkage between Cell-phone Usage and Long Term Memory Loss · · Score: 1

    Another factor to consider -- what was the ratio of radiation:rat? The average human brain weighs several times what an entire rat weighs -- how much radiation would it take to illicit a similar effect in humans? And, perhaps more importantly, how big should the swimming pool of milk be? Still, I'd agree, worrisome ... after all, according to studies, I'm aPparently lOsing my shorT-term memory here, my ability to lEarn and concentrate there, my hearing due to my stereos, and my long-term memory due to my cell phone ... a man just can't have any convenient or enjoyable habits nowadays!

  25. Re:Saw this last night... on A Post-Columbine Halloween Horror Story · · Score: 1

    Thoughtpolice? Maybe, but -- for those of you who haven't been students in the public school system recently, school administrators act in the most absurd manners when it comes to discipline. Case in point - a few years back, during my senior year of high school, I put out a satirical "Senior Superlative List", mocking the typical ego-gratifying, popularity-contest driven, "Most Likely to be Mr. or Ms. " bs ... among the pseudo-superlatives was the category, "Most Likely to Use Sex to Get Ahead," which listed a non-existent (at least within our school system and too my knowledge) female as the title-holder. And the point, I'm sure you're asking? I was suspended for three days for sexual harassment -- of a non-existent person!!! Children have been the victims of academic administrators' power trips for years - it's too bad that it takes something like Columbine to make people sit up and notice the long obvious.
