  1. Re:Not really a hardware firewall on Hardware Firewall On a USB Key · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It might not offer better protection than a software firewall, but it will offload the work to it's own processor freeing up cycles on your computer. If you are pushing your machine this could be a fairly inexpensive way to squeeze a little more life out of an older /underpowered box.

  2. Re:Of course it crashed.. on Linux (Car) Crashes At Indy 500 · · Score: 1

    Were the drivers written by Greg Kroah-Hartman http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/0 5/23/0041224?

  3. Re:Pentagon or Pentagram? on How the Pentagon Got Its Shape · · Score: 5, Funny

    wow an anti-conspiracy theory guy on Slashdot? I didn't think you guys existed.

  4. Re:Apocalypse on Backyard Chefs Fired Up Over Infrared Grills · · Score: 3, Funny

    Will you be able to get that glossy shine on you steaks too?

  5. Re:Even better, they made a show about it. on BBC Kicked out of School Over Wi-Fi Scaremongering · · Score: 1

    I think that half of my co-workers would fail the quiz. But I only work at a University - most people with PhDs are friggin' idiots.

  6. More than just movies on Twenty Five Years of Tron · · Score: 5, Funny

    Tron's special effects have influenced in more than just movies. Just take a look at case mods and riced out cars sporting neon to see just how much people liked Tron.

  7. Re:Future on Sony Debuts Razor-Thin Flexible Display · · Score: 1

    Those frickin' things scare the hell out of me. TeleTubbies are nearly as evil as Barney.

  8. Re:So how long... on Firefox 3.0 Makes Leap Forward · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It is definatley why IE pretty much skipped version 1 and 2 because Netscape was on version 3.

  9. Re:Hmmm, did the BBC fire their web designers? on Using RFID and Wi-Fi to Track Students · · Score: 1

    It is quite refreshing to have a simple black and white page to visit. No add of flashing graphics - I didn't think such pages existed.

  10. Re:Administratively impossible? on Microsoft Too Busy To Name Linux Patents? · · Score: 1

    I would love to see the MS patent list. I bet there are patents in that that cover just about every aspect of computing. That does not mean that they are enforceable, but I bet they do have some that Linux encroaches upon.

  11. Inherited code on MMOG Industry Community Vet Speaks Out · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I thought that I had it bad when I was handed a project written by another company. The problem is that it is written in C# and I have never seen C# before. Gotta love other peoples crap code.

  12. Re:May fools? on Jack Thompson Sues Microsoft · · Score: 5, Funny

    Wouldn't Jack Thompson say that was caused by playing too many violent video games?

  13. Re:so did he write them for free or didn't he on Update On Free Linux Driver Development · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Volunteers working for free? Now I'm no genius but isn't that a bit redundant?

  14. Re:Mel's Hole? on Robot Submarine Maps World's Deepest Sinkhole · · Score: 1

    if the info about Mel's Hole in wikipedia is true and this is Mel's hole who would have gone down into that thing? The article says some one went in with just SCUBA gear. That is nasty.

  15. Re:SoundXchange needs sound leadership on Small Webcasters Offered a Rate Break, Reject It · · Score: 4, Funny

    You don't think they have the best intersts of the small guy in mind? I thought that all the big corp's had a softspot in their heart for the little guys. I also think that the sky is a beautiful shade of green.

  16. Re:thickest strongest ice in 30 years on 26 Common Climate Myths Debunked · · Score: 5, Informative

    If you read any articles about Global Warming you will see that some local areas will get colder, wetter, more snowfall, and more ice accumuluation because of shifting water currents and atmospheric wind patterns. The issue is GLOBAL WARMING, not is it warmer at my house.

  17. Re:Not Quite 20 years... on Toyota Going 100% Hybrid By 2020 · · Score: 1

    I'm waiting for them to announce a hybrid Sienna. I'd go buy one today if they did.

  18. Re:Food fight! on You Can Oppose Copyright and Support Open Source · · Score: 1

    Creditright - that a clever turn of phrase. I think that we should create a new symbol for it and stamp it all over all of our work. Bobo Mahoney (Creditrighted 2007)

  19. Re:Tetris DS on What is Your Desert Island Game? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Tetris is good, but something with boobs would be better. My vote is for Dead or Alive Extreme - after you finish your game you have something to do for a couple of minutes and then have a good nap.

  20. Re:Linux rice on Linux Appliance Design · · Score: 1

    Free cars that don't crash - I'm in.

  21. Re:For someone with such a reputation... on Woz Talks About His Gaming Past · · Score: 1

    Woz has always been the quiet workhorse. The other Steve is the one to look to for "interesting". Give the guy a break, he was a much bigger reason for Apples earlier success the the more famous Steve.
