  1. Re:Um, Since When Did BB/CC sell non-windows? on Best Buy + Windows Guru = Apple Store Experience? · · Score: 1

    Best Buy now sells Apples, and will be getting the iPhone 3G soon.

    You put the oosh in woosh.

  3. Re:when will we see swype? on Apple Losing Touchscreen War · · Score: 1

    The iPhone actually has a 3rd party application with this functionality (writingpad) I believe, but it cannot replace the keyboard in other uses (browsing, texting, etc.).

  4. Re:Both links timeout on Video Shows Easy Hacking of E-Voting Machines · · Score: 2, Funny

    You know there is some student; just like the rest of us, that is frantically wondering why cs.ucsb.edu will no longer load and wondering how he will complete his homework at the last second before class.

    It's 8:30 in the morning on a CS server. Do you think any CS students are awake at 8:30 AM? I didn't even KNOW there was an 8:30 AM.

    I've got a 11X14 family print of my GG-grandmother

    I read that as CG-Grandmother, and thought "Awesome... I want a computer generated relative"

  7. Re:never buy 1st gen apple hardware on Apple's IPhone 3G Firmware Update Bombs · · Score: 1

    I was in it for the GPS. I was looking for something to do GPS distances on a golf course (I wasn't liking my Laser Rangefinder), and this fit the bill perfectly. It's not as accurate as a SkyCaddie or some of the other production golf GPS Systems out there (+/- 5 yards vs. +/- 3), but I'm using software I wrote for it and it seems to be working great. However, GPS isn't a dealbreaker for most it seems so YMMV.

  8. Re:Okay.... on My Job Went To India · · Score: 1

    That reminds me of that scene from Fun with Dick and Jane (the remake), where he goes in for an interview with thousands of other people, and gets pulled to the front of the line just so everyone at the company can laugh at him.

    That might have sounded sarcastic but it wasn't, one of my favorite movies.

    A Caddyshack reference on Slashdot, I'm impressed.

  13. Re:First they came on Sharing 2,999 Songs, 199 Movies Is Safe In Germany · · Score: 1

    In the movie, did they get rounded up/down? If so, one could argue that whenever it was less than .4 cents (therefore getting rounded down), it wouldn't actually be taking anything from the customer's themselves, as this money would have just vanished anyways, making this a strikingly similar analogy.

    However, I was just trying to make a funny.

  14. Re:As my grandmother used to say on Strange Ubuntu/Vista Compatibility Bug, Solved · · Score: 1

    Like grandmother like grandson (using Slashdot as a basis for this assumption).

  16. Re:"Jigsaw elections"? You mean Electoral Eollege? on 30% of Americans Want "Balanced" Blogging · · Score: 1

    What about something like Texas? The bigger urban areas are actually relatively liberal (Austin, etc...), and those votes are pretty much nullified by the rest of Texas.

  20. Firmware? on Infineon Chipset May Be Cause of IPhone 3G Issues · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Can this be fixed by a firmware update? It said something about the stack which made me think firmware, or is it just shoddy hardware?
