  1. Haven't you ever been to a concert? on Gibson to Embed Guitars with Ethernet · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The info can already be sent wirelessly through the amp via VHF and UHF.

    Ever heard of a wireless microphone? Same concept, except connected to the pickups on the guitar.

  2. Great Idea! on USAF Readies Laser of Death · · Score: 1

    The whole passive resistence thing didn't work for that Ghandi guy, right?

  3. flying on Computer Chips Exploding for Science · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Great. Now we're going to have to comletely dismantle laptops, game boys, and talking Barney dolls before we are allowed to board flights.

    Seriously, what are the possibilities of using this to cause life threatening explosions?

  4. I work at a video game store... on XBox Defects Draw Ire · · Score: 4, Interesting

    specifically, gamestop.com (software etc, babbages, planetx, funcoland, and super software

    We have had two xboxes returned as defective. BOTH, were from physical damage resulting from the "bounce test" that occurs during shipping.

    There were obvious gashes in the cardboard of the box. One one xbox, the 2nd controller port did not function, and the other simply didn't power up.

    We've had similar situations with the PS2. There have been no Gamecubes returned and I can't even count how many defective dreamcasts we have.

  5. Re:this reminds me... on Generate AM Radio Broadcasts With Your Monitor · · Score: 1

    Actually, the TI's motorola processor has a few sound instructions that produces (I believe) 2 bit sound. This was on a TI-85, but I've never seen it used before.

  6. Speaking of which on The Internet Under Siege · · Score: 2

    What is the current status of the Skylarov case? Is there a website regularly posting updates about it? Did he return to the MotherLand or is he still chillin' in NoCal? Anyone have any new information?

  7. BOTH TOWERS COLLAPSE, PENTAGON AND PENNSYLVANIA on World Trade Towers and Pentagon Attacked · · Score: 1

    I dont know if anyone is actually *watching* the news, so far no posts.
    "News Channels" are like websites except you listen to them and they have full screen streaming video.
    The news as of 10:51 ET is both towers have collapsed, a blane crashed into the helicopter launch pad at the pentagon, and another plane crashed in pennsylvania.
    All flights in the United States have been cancelled.

  8. slashdotted in record time! on The Delights of Chemistry · · Score: 1

    and I already checked for a google cache. Too bad Hemos didn't give us his own witty commentary, so at least we could make fun of that while waiting for the site to go back online.

  9. Well I work at a video game store on Japan Will Have To Wait For Xbox · · Score: 1

    and our reservations for the Xbox filled up months before the gamecube. We get about 10 - 15 calls a day asking when its going to be out, can we reserve it, etc etc.
    Microsoft already brought out about 30 display boxes for the games that are going to be available upon release. There are a lot of games you can't get on PS2 or DC.

  10. even easier.. on Keyloggers Now Classified Technology · · Score: 1

    someone posted this about a year ago:
    login: slashdot2000
    pass: slashdot2000
    let it save the cookie and never look back

  11. Re:What a shame... on Miyazaki's Future w/ Disney · · Score: 1

    Support independent films! This is where all the gems are. Low budget movies are generally always better, because they can focus on plot instead of pleasing the low attention spans of the MTV generation. Look at Rotten Tomatoes top films of 2001 (so far). All of them are independent films! This is where the great films are. I recently saw Hedwig and the Angry Inch in theatres, it was awesome!
    All metropolitan cities have at least one theatre that runs these kinds of movies. They are just like any normal theatre, including jacked up prices on pop-corn and coke. In the Seattle area, you can go to the theatre in Broadway Market on Capitol Hill.

  12. not programmers, just the other IT workers on No Shortage Of Programmers? · · Score: 3

    There are boatloads of people working in the IT field with job titles such as "Product Manager", "Product Planner" or anything that has to do with marketing. These jobs are especially numerous in the dot com sector. These people rake in lots of dough and perform jobs that require less than high school diploma. These are people that are reported being getting laid off everyday on fuckedcompany.com, not programmers. We still need real programmers.

  13. Re:Sounds rather strange. on FRG on W2K: No CoS · · Score: 1

    maybe because the CEO can have a little bit more influence than just "anyone in the company?"

  14. Re:Minority Religions - Translated Answer on More Candidate Answers - Bush and Hagelin · · Score: 1

    Those religions also represent 99+% of religious people in the United States.
    bullshit.
    I dont know where you got your figures, but do a little research first.

  15. slashdot effect on Bell Labs Achieves 3.28Tbps Over Fiber · · Score: 1

    Maybe if we get some of these hooked up, at least someone might survive the slashdot effect.

  16. Tux's Ass? on The Mini-Quickies That Fell To Earth · · Score: 2

    Tux could pass as a pokemon, anyone got a picture of his ass?

  17. apparently on King's New eBook · · Score: 1

    Because Orwell's Animal Farm is available completely free. You can get it here.
