  1. Re:too many acronyms! on SBC and AT&T Boards Vote to Go Ahead · · Score: 1

    The company known as SBC started out as Southwestern Bell, but I do know for a fact that it actually isn't an acronym. I've read it in the company history. I've even posted about it before

    Just like ESPN doesn't really stand for anything.

  2. Re:I love this topic on Why Apple Makes a One-Button Mouse · · Score: 1
    (Assuming they didn't need two hands to use the mouse, I wonder what they needed the other hand for.)
    Oh! So that's why they came up with the left-handed mouse for PC users!
  3. !2u on Asteroid Named After Douglas Adams · · Score: 2, Funny
    This seems like a fitting tribute to me.
    It's not a fitting tribute to you, it's a fitting tribute to Douglas Adams, you insensitive clod! :)
  4. Re:Olivia Neutron Bomb / Electric Link Orchestra on Xanadu: The Forgotten Hypertext · · Score: 1

    Man, now I got a weird urge to go out and roller skate.

    Nice job on the alternate lyrics.

  5. Re:HDD Q on Mac mini Dissection · · Score: 1

    Correct. The consensus seems to be that the 80GB HDD is the 4200rpm Toshiba MK8025GAS so the 40 GB will definitely be 4200rpm as well.

  6. Re:Amazing??! on Audioblogging From Kilimanjaro Via Satellite Phone · · Score: 1

    see section after "but the /. amazing thing is"

    Sad that ppl don't even RTF submission any more :(

  7. Re:A Post from January Third: on Apple Sues Think Secret · · Score: 1

    I'm sure Steve Jobs reads /. once in awhile and noted that particular post.

    Apple is probably suing Think Secret just to throw everybody off. :)

  8. Re:take the time factor out on Producing a Quiz Show from Multiple Locations? · · Score: 1

    Interesting... I didn't know that. Good to know.

    Also, something along the lines of "The Weakest Pub" where focusing one question on one person/pub/team can work also :) /. readers tend to forget that Jeopardy! isn't the only quiz show out there.

  9. Re:It's not only spammers.. on Do Unsubscribe Links Stop Spam? · · Score: 1

    Had to be said...

    Looks like you were a victim of iCANSPAM

  10. Re:Found the link! on 1-Click Blooper Playback for Original Trilogy DVD · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Congratulations.

    You have shown that you are worthy of a more challenging set of puzzles.

    Do not pass Go. Instead, go directly to http://deathball.net/notpron/

  11. I hope they make a DVD set on Adieu to Ken Jennings · · Score: 1

    What could be better than a Ken Jennings viewing marathon? :)

  12. Survey says... on Some iPod Fans Dump PCs For Macs · · Score: 1

    If it's twice the size of a Family Feud survey, it must be enough.

  13. Re:Rapid Disassembly on More Exploding Cellphones In The News · · Score: 1

    I think it's time to call some of my friends who have Kyocera phones and just say repeatedly: "Johnny 5 disassemble! Johnny 5 disassemble!"

  14. Re:Then what are people using to record? on The VHS is Dead · · Score: 1

    From the looks of things on the internet, there are other people already recording everything and taking out the commercials and sharing them as .avi's.

    One of the only things I don't see too much of already in .avi's are sporting events, but I guess that's what ESPN/SportsCenter is for.

    For some, I'm sure d/l'ing a 350MB file for the show they missed is just about as good, if not better, than having their own device to do the job.

  15. Space Farm on Interview With Math Legend Benoit Mandelbrot · · Score: 1
    In the article, Mandelbrot says it's simple to understand how some spaces can be more empty than others, once it is explained. Can someone explain it?
    One space empty.

    Two space doubleplusempty.
  16. The problem is... on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    Everybody's been watching too much Survivor and thought they were voting Bush out.

  17. Re:Oh Canada! on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    Here's the new "National Anthem" I'll be singing at SF Giant's games and other sporting events:

    I love You California
    Written by F. B. Silverwood
    Composed by A. F. Frankenstein

    First Verse
    I love you, California, you're the greatest state of all.
    I love you in the winter, summer, spring and in the fall.
    I love your fertile valleys; your dear mountains I adore.
    I love your grand old ocean and I love her rugged shore.

    Chorus
    Where the snow crowned Golden Sierras
    Keep their watch o'er the valleys bloom,
    It is there I would be in our land by the sea,
    Every breeze bearing rich perfume.
    It is here nature gives of her rarest. It is Home Sweet Home to me,
    And I know when I die I shall breathe my last sigh
    For my sunny California.

    Second Verse.
    I love your red-wood forests - love your fields of yellow grain.
    I love your summer breezes and I love your winter rain.
    I love you, land of flowers; land of honey, fruit and wine.
    I love you, California; you have won this heart of mine.

    Third Verse.
    I love your old gray Missions - love your vineyards stretching far.
    I love you, California, with your Golden Gate ajar.
    I love your purple sun-sets, love your skies of azure blue.
    I love you, California; I just can't help loving you.

    Fourth Verse.
    I love you, Catalina, you are very dear to me.
    I love you, Tamalpais, and I love Yosemite.
    I love you, Land of Sunshine, Half your beauties are untold.
    I loved you in my childhood, and I'll love you when I'm old.

  18. Re:How did it happen? Grandma provides clues... on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    Don't fret. Don't be depressed.

    The rest of the world will probably believe there are 3 different kinds of Americans now that the election is over:

    Losers
    Sore Losers
    members of the Olympic Basketball team

  19. Re:Gad you gave us a link to slashdot on Electoral-vote.com Under Heavy Load; Attack? · · Score: 1

    I guess not that long. Site's down. Oops. He went down to 249 now. Oops, it's down again.

    Oh screw it. I'm going to bed.

    Let's see how long Bush is stuck at 269 on that webpage.

  22. Re:Maybe that explains... on How Infants Crack the Speech Code · · Score: 1

    According to your explanation, wouldn't it be "thyself" instead of "thineself," a la "myself" instead of "mineself?"

    Perhaps it's either?

    Whatever, I'm avoid using both altogether.

    Mine ears have heard the sounding of the sillyness of both.

  23. Re:kind of old news on Yahoo Follows Google on Mobile Search · · Score: 1

    You don't even have to be on AT&T Wireless to get email notification through Yahoo mail. A few days ago I noticed a new link (it's gone now that I've activated it) in my Mail Options|Filters section. After choosing which of my Mobile profiles to use, I now have the option to send a notification to my cell when a specific filter is triggered.

    It sure beats getting notified everytime a new piece of unimportant email gets in my Inbox.

    Is this available to everyone? Or did I see it only because I'm a DSL subscriber also?

  24. Re:Massive on Rubik's Famous Magic Cube in Lego Form · · Score: 2, Funny
    Maybe you could build up your wrist muscles while solving this thing.
    You must be new here. It's common knowledge that just about every /.'er has at least one wrist that gets plenty of exercise already.

    Ultimate Question: How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?
    Um, 42? Wait, that's not how I remembered it. Nice try, but I don't think you have the Ultimate Question.
