  1. Man.. on Lawsuits Force 321 Studios Out Of Business · · Score: 4, Funny

    That's alot of studios that went out of business

  2. What OS on Laptops with the Longest Battery Life? · · Score: 1

    With my IBM thinkpad t40p I get around 6 and a half hours with a 9 cell battery in windows on the highest power saving setting. In linux I get a lil over 4 if I recall correctly using acpi.

  3. We will probably never get to see them on Mozilla Starts Bug Bounty Program · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Mozilla likes to do security through obsecurity. Dont believe me. Look through the bug reports, any of them that contain any type of security vulnerability and locked down and you are unable to view them. Whats up with that mozilla?

  4. Miss I swear... on What Are You Looking At? · · Score: 1

    The camera was wrong I was looking into your eyes the whole time you were talking to me! I didn't even notice you were topless till now!

  5. Most violence is on the news anyway on FCC Looks Into Regulating Violence on TV · · Score: 1

    Seriously. It seems the news focuses on the bad more then the good sometimes. I watch the headlines and maybe one of them will be a good story, the others...

    fire kills family, cop murdered, hit and run, etc...

    Does that mean news stations will have to report all nonviolent news stories?

  6. sept 11th on Google Loses Domain Fight Over Froogles.com · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    anyone else find it strange this guy was registering a domain on september 11th?

  7. High price but... on Google Sets IPO Pricing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Who will actually be able to even buy it at that price when it hits? Most people probably wont be able to get the stock until its even higher. How does one go about getting a stock at its IPO price?

  8. Re:One issue im sure alot of people would like cha on Project GoneME Fixes Perceived Gnome UI Errors · · Score: 1

    the visible nautilus pref should have been there from day one. Having a user have to go through a regedit like program to turn off an unusable feature is unusable in itself.

  9. One issue im sure alot of people would like change on Project GoneME Fixes Perceived Gnome UI Errors · · Score: 3, Informative

    spatial nautilus. of course you can argue it both ways but IMHO and a lot of other people's, it was a step backwards.

  10. good move for them on FreeBSD Moves to X.Org · · Score: -1, Redundant

    XFree86 is dyinggggggg

  11. SETI will also find... on SETI Predicts We'll Find ETs by 2020 · · Score: 1

    Duke Nukem Forever has yet to be released after searching the whole galaxy for it.

  12. hires pictures and slashdot... on Apollo 11 Photographs Unfrozen · · Score: 4, Funny

    go together like george w. and michael moore.

  13. Re:Its been that long? on Apollo 11's 35th Anniversary · · Score: 1

    hanks directed from the earth to the moon, whoops , my bad. i thought he was in it too but that was apollo 13 getting in my head

  14. Its been that long? on Apollo 11's 35th Anniversary · · Score: 3, Funny

    Since Tom Hanks was up in space? I must say Tom is a great astronaut and a hero to all of us for his efforts in outterspace.

  15. Slashdot on Odeon Orders Takedown Of Copycat Site · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When will /. be getting a well needed HTML upgrade to XHTML 1.0 or 1.1? And have it fully validate?! I mean for crying out loud someone on alistapart.com did an article and rewrote slashdot as a completely standard website.. see the article and read more about it here

    Look at the savings in bandwidth he calculated out.

    "Most Slashdot visitors would have the CSS file cached, so we could ballpark the daily savings at ~10 GB bandwidth. A high volume of bandwidth from an ISP could be anywhere from $1 - $5 cost per GB of transfer, but let's calculate it at $1 per GB for an entire year. For this example, the total savings for Slashdot would be: $3650! All of that for just a couple of KB."

  16. Computer Management.. on Top Ten Linux Configuration Tools? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I use Computer Management. It's located under Administrative Tools in the Control Panel. It's really great for... wait a minute... looks around... wrong site...

    takes a couple steps back...

  17. what about DHCP on IIALP - Abuse Logging Protocol · · Score: 3, Insightful

    so what about all the people out there who get their ip from a DHCP server. Someone can be abusive and then within a given time have a new ip and some poor old grandma is now with this lusers old ip is flagged as an internet mischief.

  18. It's NOT OUT yet on A Look at the Newly Released Mozilla Firefox 0.9 · · Score: 3, Informative

    If anyone bothered to take a look in the help section after they installed and clicked on about they would see this was built on the 8th of june. This is still the old build from last week. Hell the installer still says .8!

  19. Could they confuse you anymore... on First 16x DVD+R Recording Tests Available · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The opening sentence...

    "We have just seen the first 12x DVD-writers appearing in stores, and here we have it; the first 16X DVD-Writer!"

    All those dashes confuse the hell out of me when we have DVD media that is referred to by DVD+R or DVD-R. I had to re-read to make sure they were really talking about DVD+R and not DVD-R.

  20. Automatic Updates on Windows Users Fear Korgo Virus · · Score: 1

    I dont ever check for updates! yes that's right i am insane.... or I just use MS's automatic update that I have scheduled to alert me whenever a critical patch is available, and it will download it and let me know when it's ready to install. On my machines that I am not always in front of I have automatic updates set to download and install automatically. Keeping up to date with patches with windows can be a simple set and forget thing.

  21. Pictures of Airport Computers? on A Look At Intel ISEF 2004 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That doesn't seem like a smart idea to be doing. A kid walking around photographing the terminals, the ticket reader and among other things. Post 9/11 I am surprised a security guard didn't tackle him to the ground and then have the FBI come in and question him for 9 hours. Sure he was just harmless ly taking photos but not a good idea to be taking photos of the equipment like that.

  22. Easy way to defeat this on The Security Risk of Keyboard Clicks · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Type in a bunch of random letters, or even a fake password then hold the backspace key down. That will only make sound once and you can have multiple deletes confusing the listener.
