  1. Is it broke? on Best Shrinkable ReiserFS Replacement? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Is it broke for you? If not, don't fix it.

  2. That tips me over on Huge Arctic Ice Shelf Breaks Off · · Score: 1

    I'm moving to my global warming shelter now. Good luck to all you doomed mankind.

  3. Re:Oh the 5 most...? on The 5 Most Laughable Terms of Service On the Net · · Score: 1

    Digg? Digg? Please, no.

    Wait, you said "the 50 hottest nerds"? Nevermind, that's a headline that will make the Digg crowd go crazy.

  4. Bad, bad, bad on Councils Recruit Unpaid Volunteers To Spy On Their Neighbors · · Score: 1

    Instead of worrying about petty things such as improper trash sorting and "dog habits", for God sakes, worry about things that matter -- murderers, rapists, and drug abusers.

  5. Re:So much for unlimited internet on Comcast To Cap Data Transfers At 250 GB In October · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just give it some time...

  6. Antarctica on Cost-Effective Server Room Air Conditioning? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Move the room to Antarctica, turn off the heat.

  7. Re:Known to cause cancer... on California Classes LED Component Gallium Arsenide a Carcinogen · · Score: 1

    Or maybe the other states have just gone underboard, if that's even a word. It's nice to see those warnings. I once saw a product at a sports store, and it had one of those warnings on it. Turns out it was because there was lead in the product, and I'da never thunk it. Now imagine if that warning label wasn't there and some parent left the product around their little kids?

    If it's thought to be a carcinogen, I sure as heck would like to know. I was wondering when they'd come out with issues about LED's, and I'm not surprised now that I hear about them. It's a shame, though, I was thinking they'd be a viable alternative to mercury-filled CCFL's.

  8. Gun collection on How Do I Prevent Lan Party Theft? · · Score: 1

    Show everyone your gun collection before the games begin.

  9. Re:Really? on McCain Releases Technology Platform · · Score: 0

    Tell me this: has Bush kept us safe since 9/11?

    Peace through strength, baby.

  10. More excited on $12 MIT Computer Based On NES, Not Apple II · · Score: 1

    I'd be more excited if this were based off of a Genesis. Neat that they're bringing back old hardware, though; I've always had a soft spot for old technology.

  11. Snail mail FTW. on Is Hushmail Still Safe? · · Score: 0

    I use snail mail. It's safer because it's sealed. Snail mail FTW.

  12. All about money on PCMark Memory Benchmark Favors GenuineIntel · · Score: 1

    It's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny.

  13. First I got scared on Comcast Is Reading Your Blog · · Score: 1

    The headline kinda scared me. But in all reality, who cares? They're not doing it by analyzing packets; if I were a smart company I'd Google for myself and find people who have issues. If they provide a method of contact, I'd be stupid to not contact them by that method and try to work out the issue.

    Can't stand Comcast as they're a monopoly and their prices are high, and customer service is terrible; however, they're service has always been reliable for me (internet, TV).

  14. Spam on Computer Mouse Heading For Extinction · · Score: 1

    I thought spam was supposed to be gone by now, too.

    Good luck with that.

  15. Re:And this is why... on Firefox 3.0.1 Fixes 'Carpet Bombing' Issue · · Score: 1

    I prefer FF2 as well. The skin looks nicer, the urlbar functionality is more useful for me -- can't stand the awesomebar -- and there a few other minor things I don't like about FF3 and that I wasn't able, even with a lot of searching, to 'fix' using FF on OSX back when FF3 was first released.

    Once FF2 is discontinued I'll move on. Of course, I still prefer Opera as my main browser.

  16. Satellite signals on Alternative Uses For an Old Satellite Dish? · · Score: 1

    If you have a scanner capable of receiving the frequencies, I believe you can sometimes use them to receive microwave signals. I just remember reading it somewhere, maybe I'm wrong...

  17. Re:Heh... on Kaspersky To Demo Attack Code For Intel Chips · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised your fentium didn't die -- or at least break into pieces -- before you hit 'Reply'.

  18. RIP on Michael DeBakey, Consummate Medical Geek, Dead At 99 · · Score: 1

    RIP. Thanks for saving a crapload of lives.

  19. Traditional... on Best Color Scheme For Coding, Easiest On the Eyes? · · Score: 1

    I like white background, black text.

  20. Re:horrible list of acronyms on WTF? NC Offers to Replace 10,000 License Plates · · Score: 1

    I didn't even bother reading them. They were listed in an annoying slideshow format, instead of plain old text. I'd rather not have to click a button to have an image load for each acronym.

  21. Tax dollars spent well on WTF? NC Offers to Replace 10,000 License Plates · · Score: 1

    What a wonderful way to spend our tax dollars.

    Over-reacting granny would never survive reading Slashdot.

  22. Obama doesn't need it on Blogger Launches 'Google Bomb' At McCain · · Score: 1

    Obama doesn't need 'Google bombing' to put himself in a bad light.

  23. Re:Thanks for the news on Firefox 3 Release On Tuesday · · Score: 1

    Agreed.

  24. Thanks for the news on Firefox 3 Release On Tuesday · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the news. I setup a FF party for the forums I visit. Cool stuff!

    Downloaded Opera 9.5. Great browser, terrible new theme. They should've at least included the classic theme to go back to. Oh well, I use D.T.A anyway.

    Opera needs to get a new PR team, as Mozilla is generating so much hype it's not funny. Almost like the 9.5 release was a bugfix release, as far as hype goes.

  25. Wonderful time on Next-Gen JavaScript Interpreter Speeds Up WebKit · · Score: 1

    Yes, it is a wonderful time for browser wars right now.

    With FF3, Opera 9.50, and Webkit whatever in the works, this is truly an interesting ride. What final release will be better?
