  1. Olympus, Nikon or Canon on Which Digital Camera Do You Recommend? · · Score: 1

    These 3 always come on top in all reviews regarding image quality and features. The yesteryear cameras are wery good, and now wery cheap (Olympus C2000Z, Nikon CP950, Canon A50, I own A50) They all have decent resolution (1280x960) crystal clear and sharp images (more important than pixel count, IMHO) and good colors. You really should check out sites like Phil Askey's dpreview.com or Steve's Digicams for all the information you want.

  2. Good riddance, animated gifs! on Unisys Cracks The Whip · · Score: 1

    I loathe them! How am I supposed to read the text with all those blinking and flashing gifs jumping around on the page? Thank heavens/hell for JunkBuster! The web is not a TV...

  3. geekhunk.com on 80 Proof Quickies · · Score: 1

    Well, I'm registering it right now! Can't let the females get all the glory, can we?
    Since they can be beautiful AND smart, I'm going to prove that we can be smart AND beautiful!
    Send your pictures and geekdom achievements and get rid of that virginity!

  4. Re:Why Perl? on Report From The Mozilla Developer Meeting · · Score: 1

    1) Perl is overrated
    2) OO is powerful
    3) If people who wrote applications for a living knew a good OO language there would be better applications.
    4) Items 1-3 are mockery of comment #52

  5. Notes from Ian McKellen on "Lord of the Rings" Quicktime Preview Available · · Score: 2

  6. A well regulated militia, my ass! on Slashdot Meets The Pinkerton Corp. · · Score: 1

    Well, I can hardly call the current state of affairs a "A well regulated militia"... Any idiot can walk into a store (or alley) and get a gun...

  7. HUH? on German Robot Klaus Passes Driving Test · · Score: 1

    Like we don't have enough traffic jams? Do we really have to make robots to add to the traffic? Do the have a middle finger?

  8. Can we please have Lawsuit category? on Game Companies Sue Yahoo! · · Score: 1

    And a appropriate vulture logo with it, perhaps? :) Then the few of us who are tired of lawsuit news can just put it where it belong with Amiga "news".. :> Jón

  9. Rowenta? on iMac Look Protected by Copyright · · Score: 1

    ööööö.... Shouldn't Rowenta then sue/settle/whatever Apple over this? I'm giving up on trying to understand corporate "thinking"...

  10. ELITE, I want ELITE darn it! on Parsec Demo For Linux Released · · Score: 1

    IMNSHO still the best game written ever. ELITE is the king! Ah, all those nights on my trusty old BBC Model B, using an Apple green monitor in the computer lab. "Hey there is a system we havent vistited, I wander if we run into any Thargoids?"
    David Braben and Ian Bell, where are you now?
    (Oops, looks like troubl e!)

    (No, I did NOT put that space in "trouble")

  11. Export restrictions only on hardware? on Export Controls on Beowulf? · · Score: 1

    Well, the feeling I get when I read all those export restriction stories is that it applies only to hardware. If software would be included in the export control I'm afraid TCP/IP could be classified as do-not-export-to-some-countries software? :>. Anyways, I've always thought this supercomputer export laws to be pretty silly, what if the countries would just lease supercomputer time in the US, no need to export any hardware!

  12. Microsoft missing? on SyncML May Make Handheld-to-PC Links Easier · · Score: 1

    Now, I wouldn't know if that is a good or bad. We all know MS love for propriertary stuff, but OTOH, they are the king of personal desktop OS. Personally, I wouldn't care less, if this stuff will be supported on my Palm, there would probably be one less reason to boot into Windows... :)

  13. We need hall of shame too! on Slashdot's 10,000th Story · · Score: 2

    The hof is neat, but I would like to see Hall of shame with stuff like, Least Active stories, Least visited stories, Least active authors, Least active poll topics.

    And we need a new algorithm for Top 10 Comments, (maybe sum of karma of the comment and child comments?)

  14. Pornoperv! on Furry Cow Cases · · Score: 1

    had to say it!

  17. Is THIS news for nerds? on Boris Yeltsin Resigns · · Score: 0

    This is the first time I've ever critized (?) slashdot's news selection (Belive me, I have often wanted to!) but this is political, not nerdy news :. Please keep the international politics out of here, unless there is something technical/geeky related...
    And a happy new year!

  18. Remember folks, it's only the first battle... on DVD Hearing Victory: We Won - For Now · · Score: 1

    The DVD Copy Control Association (whoa!) will rather have their teeth dragged out than loose few bucks over some petty pirates, and they will use every means to do so! Armour up, it's going to be tough, and laywers take no prisoners!

  19. Hiroshima & Nagasaki? on The 20th Century: Loser Style · · Score: 1

    Why didn't they mention that? Totally pointless suffering of millions, just to test the newest toy! Hypocrites, I say.

  20. Geee... on Multiprocessor G4s @MacWorld · · Score: 1

    We had dual and quad PowerMacs years ago, until Apple killed the cloners...

    It's over here.

  22. You have to admit... on Jeff Bezos Named Time Person of the Year · · Score: 1

    ...that amazon.com is quite a success. No other on-line store has gotten so much publicity and (in)fame. Shame about the idiotic patent, though...
