  1. Hey Nice Idea on France To Tax Blank Computer Media · · Score: 1

    I'm going to steal from everybody in case they steal from me first. I also don't really have to care about a great alarm system on my house anymore because I'm making out like a bandit anyway by picking pockets. Besides, everybody keeps hacking my alarm anyway and I keep spending more and more money on the whole deal. Yeah, I'm going to be raking in the dough, but It's not for me :)

  2. Y2K++ on Slashdot Readers Write The History Of The Future · · Score: 1

    I predict that in the future Saddam Hussien's playstation army will take over the island of Nauru. I also predict that cigarette prices are going to go up so high that smokers will have to settle for smoking pot because it will be cheaper.

  3. Reminds me of.. on Getting Fired For Not Taking A Promotion? · · Score: 1

    There was a guy where I work who couldn't have the particular job he wanted and they moved him to something he didn't like. Heres what he did, and it worked for him. He quit, came back and put in an application, and then got hired for the position that he wanted in the first place.

  4. Good Job Guy on Student Suspended For Taking Teacher's Challenge · · Score: 1

    I can picture that they wanted to prove themselves to thier teacher who obviously underestimated his class. Students often go to enormous lengths to impress thier teachers and they can surprise you with what they are able to accomplish. Congrats for pulling it off and doing it in a respectable way. They should be encouraging other kids to be like this instead of getting on him for pointing out thier problems. It is very emberassing that adults are capable of this behavior.

  5. Deja Vu on Nazis on Napster · · Score: 1
    Are royalties from nazi any music sales going to hitler? Is this attempting to send back a message to hitler? NO, I think he's dead... or maybe theres something we haven't been told?

    The truth is its the same old story, but what I don't get is.. why Nazis this time instead of Two Live Crew?

  6. Re:My question is this.. on Credit Card Database Stolen -- 4 Months Ago · · Score: 1

    That reminds me of a book called the Stainless Steel Rat.. about this guy who aspires to be the perfect criminal. He gets arrested on purpose so that he can go to jail so he can meet up with more criminals but then after going to jail he realized that really skilled criminals would never have been caught in the first place. So he breaks out :)

  7. Looks neat but... on The Most Powerful Mouse in the World · · Score: 1

    It looks like the ergotrack that comes on Fujitsu notebooks. I've used one before and yeah its kind of difficult but I think its still easy to use compared to an Alpspoint.

  8. THIRD WORLD WAR - (Sega CD) on Warez and Abandonware · · Score: 1

    I have considered buying a Sega CD system just to play the one game.

  9. already done on New P2P tool Using... IRC? [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    Last time I joined an mp3 channel in IRC (been I guess about a year ago) everyone was using an mIRC script that generally does what you are talking about. If I remember right it was called SailorScript or something to that effect.

  10. Re:Wineglass? on 3D Nano Wineglass Created By NEC · · Score: 4

    Thats not a wineglass. It's a grail. They are showing thier faith.

  11. About the world record.. on Surround Sound Quickies · · Score: 1

    Hats off to the centipede record breaker. I had called up guiness world records to report that I had beaten (more like annihalated) the world record on the video game Joust. They replied by saying that since I had beaten it on a home game system that it was not valid even if I had witnesses and pictures/video, and that it had to have been done on a real arcade machine.
    I had spent literally all day playing - had someone stuff a sandwich in my mouth for me and I drank by straw while I was playing. After going through all that crap spending all that time and probably damaging my nerves for life, I get rejected on a b.s. technicality! I think Guinesses rules suck. Not everyone has access to an arcade that has the particular game who's record they would like to beat and since I had more than ample proof of beating the record and not cheating I just felt ripped off. Hopefully thier rules have since changed. This happened many years ago but I am still pissed off about it and to this day I haven't bought another one of thier stupid little record books. Fuck you Guiness. And your beer sucks too.

  12. gee on Carnivore Report Released · · Score: 1

    The CIA is too busy trafficking drugs so the FBI has to gather computer intelligence. Very admirable. -Scott

  13. The board on Keyless Keyboard · · Score: 1

    I can't view the site for obvious reasons, but from the descriptions given it sounds
    similar to the outrageously priced Datahand, which I have considered saving up for.
    I am guessing (hope I am wrong) that this one has a high tag as well since the
    ergonomic devices are purchased by businesses who are stupid and rich enough to
    shell out the bucks. Then again, it could be more expensive because they are paying
    royalties to the aliens who invented it, since it does appear after all to be based on
    the model found in the Roswell UFO crash.

  14. How is Quimby doing in the polls? on Election Wrapping Up (Part 2) · · Score: 1

    I like that guy.

  15. Makes perfect sense on Do Techies Care For Daycare? · · Score: 1

    Yes, we know you'd really like to be released from your cube prison to have a telecommuting job, but how about we just give you free daycare in addition to paying for your electrical usage here, use of facilities, paying the dude to clean up the cigarette butts you throw on the ground in the smoke area, use of internet, your hardware, the chair you sit on, the desk you sleep on, etc.

  16. What this means.. on Mars May Be Dry After All · · Score: 1

    There must have been something attacking those glaciers for them to retreat! Was there really life on Mars after all?

  17. You could always... on Steps To Protect Oneself From Corporate Espionage? · · Score: 1

    Dump a chunk of longterm memory and store gigs in your brain like uh...
    I think it was the dude who played Ted Theodore Logan in Bill and Ted.

  18. For that kind of money on The Ultimate Monitor · · Score: 1

    I'd hire ppl to go run and tell me whats on my monitor.

  19. Rotation Defaults on The Ultimate Chair · · Score: 1
    Comes programmed to rotate 120 degrees over 8 hours.

    I sware when I got in I was facing the other way!

  20. I dream of on Tetris Study Reveals Dreaming's Role In Memory · · Score: 1

    Natalie Portman.

  21. Re:I got an idea! on Cubicle Blues Blamed On IT · · Score: 1

    As cold as my cube is that would be an added bonus.

  22. The Real Problem with Games on Are Virtual Worlds Worth It? · · Score: 1

    My biggest obstacle with playing games is that my women all get bored sitting around watching me play.
    No matter how Cinematic and 3D the games are the girls start yawning after about an hour. I feel that
    what we need to do is make more games so chicks like them too so we can get away with spending
    more time on them. How many relationships must come to an end because of immersing games like....
    Everquest?

  23. Education? on Techies Saying No To College · · Score: 1

    Who cares. Everyone knows the only thing that really matters is that you are an MCSE :)

  24. Gig Tube on Can Ten Billion Gigs Fit In A Test Tube? · · Score: 1

    Does the test tube come with the gigs? My band needs some.

  25. Re:Yeah, but MDI? ARGH! on 4th 'Technology Preview' Of Opera For Linux · · Score: 1

    I prefer the MDI over having different sized netscape popup windows, and have to find the close buttons on all of them.
