  1. Re:AT&T rolled this out 2.5 weeks ago on Sprint PCS Launches 3G Network · · Score: 2

    Yeah, and what about their slew of ads during the superbowl last year to get a "m-life".

    What a crock of shit. A m-life apparently means to rack up minutes on a cellphone chatting about nonesense.

  2. This girl sent me a message that she had.. on Some Spammer Has a Crush on You · · Score: 2

    .. a crush on me. Turns out she was only after me for my p4 processor.

    Alice is a tease!

  3. I'm going to.. on Atomic Scale Memory · · Score: 3, Funny

    .. mirror Kaaza just in case it goes offline.

  4. nerf and stuff on Dan Looks at Office Toys · · Score: 2, Informative

    www.nerfonline.com has a lot of good nerfing stuff, although it's pretty dead lately with the lack of new guns.

    If you want to see how to make your own darts, complete with a few videos, check this out:

  5. Operating costs go up 1000%, but.. on Meet the Spammers · · Score: 1

    .. penis size due to pumps and vitamins are still only up .001%

  6. Re:With a fat pipe! on GRACE Exceeds Expectations! · · Score: 1

    It obviously wasn't enough time for you to create such a witty comment. Perhaps next time, wait a full minute and we'll be able to dine on the little delicacies you leave for us.

  7. ProgressQuest on What (And Where) Are The Classic Free Games? · · Score: 1

    No need to be bothered with controlling your character.. .just play http://www.progressquest.com

  8. For 500 bucks extra.. on AT-ATs Coming to a Forest Near You · · Score: 1

    .. they'll throw in a free Chewbacca custom.

  9. Whereas an xBox would... on Attack Of The Dreamcasts · · Score: 1

    ... just search for your address book in Outlook and send all the p0rn you forgot to delete on your laptop to your boss and all your coworkers.

  10. Discovery.. on Robots Go Spelunking · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ..channel had a good show on robots and how the military would use them. Hermes looks like the robot they were demoing on tv. The soldier just grabbed it by the handle and flung it over a wall and let it go searching. It seemed really durable.

    They also had these awesome little spy planes that fit inside a briefcase. To launch it, they had a little air piston that shot it into flight.

  11. I have to start taking steroids.. on Pedal Powered Wireless Networked Computer? · · Score: 5, Funny

    .. just to pedal fast enough to get up to 55 FPS in quake3

  12. $1295.00 ! on All-In-One Arcade Console · · Score: 0, Troll

    Wow, and it runs Win98 too. How the hell did this get on /. with Win98 as an OS? Freaky.

    Anyways, part of the fun on creating a mame cabinet is building yourself. What fun is it to just to buy one? I can't wait until I have a bigger pad to make one and keep it in a den/game room.

  13. For teens? on First Wind-up Phone Charger Review · · Score: 1

    To fully charge the battery from flat would take 35 minutes of winding -- something you're unlikely to do in one go.

    Man, I haven't done 35 minutes of cranking since I was a teenager.

  14. Fucking motorcycles on Black Boxes to Track Driving Habits? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Why don't they put a little black box that can monitor when these fucking motorcycle drivers drive in the middle lane, passing cars in traffic.

    Or when they go flying past you in the shoulder doing 100mph.

  15. It could be the bugs... on A Rock Moves In Space · · Score: 1

    ... hurling asteroids at us! We must go their home planet and find the SMART bug as soon as possible.

    Hurry, before they get Argentina.. RICO!!!!!!!!!!

  16. Re:This is serious on WebTV/MSNTV Virus Dials 911 · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't 411 also fit then?

    Dial 411
    Play wave file that asks for Mr Freely, initials IP

  17. BBQ Chicken Quesadilla on The Open Source Cookbook? · · Score: 1

    Get some left over BBQ chicken and pull the meat off the bone.

    Put some olive oil on some tortillas and put them on a baking sheet. Place some chicken on the tortillas along with plenty of Kraft Mexican cheese. Put in the oven until the cheese melts.

    Carefully, flip one tortilla over onto the other to make a Quesadilla.

    You can make a few up and then just nuke em in the microwave when you're hungry. Bring plenty of guacamole too. Or you can just go to Taco Bell

  18. Re:holy crap, that's brilliant! on The Open Source Cookbook? · · Score: 1

    LOL!

    [damn it.. why do I have to wait 20 seconds to say LOL! Is Good karma good for nothing! I guess Ill just keep typing.. well, that had to be 20 seconds...]

  19. Re:I blame bad science fiction on Schmidt Predicts Digital Sky Is Falling · · Score: 1

    And in some ways, you have to thank science fiction. For example, I use to stay up all night worrying about an invasion from another planet, but then I saw Independence Day.

    Now I know all we need is a powerbook with a wireless network card to simply hack into the Alien's host computer, upload a virus and then sit back and watch as they ships fall from the sky.

  20. Incoming! on Pioneer 10 Still Running After 30 years · · Score: 2, Funny

    "their radioactive power sources should keep them chugging along until at least 2020. And Pioneer 10? It's on course to reach the Taurus constellation in about two million years. "

    Meanwhile, on Planet Zydeca, near the Taurus constellation, around 2019...

    "Captain! Incoming primitive radio active missle from the Human sector, Earth!"

    "Send Bill Gates a snippet of AI code. That should wreck their social and economic systems. Hrm.. and make their Sun a few degrees warmer for shits and giggles"

  21. Slashdoted already! on .NET for Apache · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    OSCON has already been slashdoted! ;-)

  22. How is this for ports. on Porting Applications from WebSphere to WebLogic? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Same site:

    1) Perl
    2) ATG Dynamo
    3) MS .NET

    All in about 2.5 years.

    I think the site would best be served from Perl creating static web pages, sorta how Salon does it. Oh well.

  23. Fuck.. on WorldCom to File for Chapter 11 Protection · · Score: 1

    .. I hope this doesn't effect my hosting provider, Digex, which is owned by Worldcom.

    Can I get some cheap overseas labor to move 30+ servers to another hosting provider?

    [Fucking wait 2 minutes to post another comment. You hit back arrow and your content is expired so you have to retype everything again.. argh. Stop penalizing people that can think and type at the same time! Actually, why don't you let people with Good/Excellent Karma able to post every 45 seconds rather than 2 minutes?]

  24. Re:NYT Random Login Generator on Randomizing Survey Answers For Accuracy · · Score: 1

    I don't know why slashdot promotes this link. The NY Times is constantly linked from /. and is a great source of information; from technology to World news.

    All they ask is that you register on their site so they can learn from their user base and they provide you with access to everything for free. If you're one of those paranoid psychos, then don't give them your life story.

    By using this random generator, you're really fucking up the NYtimes db. In working with people who analyze site traffic [not nytimes.com], this just skews all the numbers, especially all the hits from /. which really makes it a pain in the ass to figure out who the user base is when you got all these people registering from "Grenada".

    When they change their registration process and perhaps charging for their online content, don't start bitching.

    [There goes my good karma rating ;-]

  25. Worldcom owns Digex.. on Internet Giants Prepare for WorldCom 'Storm' · · Score: 1

    .. which is a big hosting farm. We have all our servers [30+] hosted there. If Worldcom goes under, Digex might also, which would really suck.

    I think it would be easier trying to buy our own servers on eBay than transitioning to another hosting vendor.
