  1. The terrible Secret of Space on Top 10 Web Fads · · Score: 1
    Supposedly true ICQ transcript

    Can't find the flash movie anywhere.

  2. buy.com shipping anomaly on Shopping Online · · Score: 1

    I like buy.com because they have almost everything and at pretty good prices. However, whenever I need something in a hurry and pay extra they always screw something up and it gets delayed, when I go with the free option I usually have it within 2 days.

  3. Re:This is a WASTE, unless... on Sweden Bans Copyrighted Downloading · · Score: 1, Insightful
    I dont think that $10000 fines for throwing cigarettes is the right way to go.

    It costs many times more than that to fight the fires they start.

  4. Re:Coordination of Efforts on 11-Nation Raid on Net Pirates · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I heard he's on Freenet

  5. Re:Australian Broadcasting Corporation on Podcasting from the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. · · Score: 1
    BBC's fighting talk is great if you follow the premier league, if you don't you won't get many of the things they talk about.

    Quirks and Quarks has been available for a while not sure why this is news.

  6. Re:Pinky toe on Next Step in Human Evolution · · Score: 1
    useless organs are not in quite the same hurry to go away

    I've heard that people are having fewer wisdom teeth than in the past due to better dental care.

    Since I only had one I consider myself more evolved.

  7. Re:Or conversely... on Hilary Rosen Gripes About iPod, iTMS · · Score: 1
    ...I'm stuck with Napster tracks that don't play on the player which has 60% market share.

    I only concern myself with 100% of the players I own ;)

  8. Try to be nice on How to Leave a Job on Good Terms? · · Score: 1

    whether your leaving your spuse or your job, just be nice. It'll serve you better in the long run.

  9. Re:A feel a little attitude in this article on Something Awful on G4TV · · Score: 1

    I only found digg.com after listening to the ROTSS podcast where the former Screen Savers alumni talked about what they're corrently working on.

  10. Re:A feel a little attitude in this article on Something Awful on G4TV · · Score: 1
    ...a service that hasn't been extended to Something Awful and now I can't imagine it ever will.

    Don't be so sure. When i submitted the story I pointed out that I found the link on digg.com which Kevin Rose is involved in.

  11. Re:In the future... on Space Elevator Group to Open Nanotube Factory · · Score: 1

    No worries, some people believe in God, I choose not to believe in space elevators.

  12. what about vrml? on What Ever Happened to Virtual Reality? · · Score: 1

    do browsers still support it? I haven't seen a page using that in about 10 years.

  13. Re:In the future... on Space Elevator Group to Open Nanotube Factory · · Score: 2

    I don't believe a functioning space elevator will ever be built on earth.

  14. Adam Curry on Viacom Launches Podcast-Only Radio Station · · Score: 1
    Though I appreciate the press he's getting the whole podcast movement his podcasts are among the worst out there. Just slightly better than static noise.

    My favorites: bbc's fighting talk, cbc's quirks and quarks, the laporte report, benjamin walker's theory of everything. Thanks to these, audiobooks and NPR my daily commute is almost bearable.

    Yes I know I didn't link, how about adding linking as a feature to slashcode?

  15. The author actually spent on Build Your Own DVR · · Score: 3, Informative
    $150 on the capture card and didn't have to spend $70 on the software because it came with the card.

    Yeah I admit it, I rtfa.

  16. Re:Voice recognition on Rave Reviews for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger · · Score: 1

    I work with kiwis all the time, the accent takes a bit of getting used to even for humans. For example you'd probably pronouce deck and dick the same way while in American English there'd be quite a difference.

  17. Re:I know where they use excel on Professional Excel Development · · Score: 1

    did you read any of the early comments? out of the first 20 or so 15 said you can't make anything useful with Excel, that is total BS. Go to any trading floor or any advanced financial institution and they will rely heavily on Excel. Just because it's made by Microsoft doesn't automatically mean it sucks.

  18. I know where they use excel on Professional Excel Development · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's called the real world, based on the ridiculous comments thus far I suggest a visit.

  19. Re:Not very impressive on AOL to Replace AIM with Triton · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I live in the US but I've tried Canadian Bacon several times.

  21. Re:And being Indian ... on Going Beyond Fermat's Last Theorem · · Score: 2, Interesting

    not according to Wikipedia. They got Babylonians, Greeks, Egyptians, Persians and Chinese in the summary. Maybe their outsourcing contracts required that the credit goes to those other countries.

  23. Re:The crap wasn't Picasso's on Fun With Transparent Screen Backgrounds · · Score: 1
    Count me among those who don't get Picasso. I went to a Picasso exhibit opnce and was thoroughly unimpressed. Lots of crotches and bulls, sometimes in the same sketch even. Yawn.

    Yeah OK, la guernica is cool.

  24. Re:Thank god for Jurassic Park... on Scientists Find Soft Tissue in T-Rex Fossil · · Score: 2, Funny

    Millions of years, everyone knows the earth is at most 6000 years old. It's in a book somewhere.
