  1. Re:Cheap publicity stunt on SCO Identifies EV1Servers as Linux Licensee · · Score: 1

    my thoughts exactally, especially since ev1 bombards the houston airwaves with comercials for their isp business.

  2. Damn you EA on Electronic Arts Shuts Down Origin Systems? · · Score: 1

    First Westwood now Origin. If it weren't for tiger woods 2005, you would be on the list.

  3. Buuuuuttt Mommmmmmmmm!!! on Defending Earth From Asteroids With MADMEN · · Score: 1

    I want to use lasers to defend the Earth From asteroids

  4. its about time on Apple Now Debt Free, Says Internal Memo · · Score: 2, Funny

    I gave jobs three blintz to paint my fence back in '01, maybe now he can get around to doing it.

  5. what schools don't do assembly on Learning Computer Science via Assembly Language · · Score: 1

    i goto Baylor, a school known more for republicans so conservative rush limbaugh pitches a tent, and even here we have at least one assembly class required.

    p.s. read the rope

  6. Thats pretty cool and all, but on Creating A Super-Router (For Free) · · Score: 5, Informative

    I like my ClarkConnect box better. All it cost me was a pile of old parts that were headed for the dumpster and a ~300 MB download.

  7. There is no question. on Cable TV Versus Satellite TV? · · Score: 1

    I have used both dish network and time warner digital cable, and in my experience the less exspensive choice is best. Dish network gets new channels quicker, digital cable has on demand movies. Another answer is which ever one gives you a pvr for free is the best.

  8. an answer to your confusement on Top 10 Personal Computers · · Score: 1

    while the compaq was pretty big, im sure the main reason he listed as numero uno is because compaq was based in houston. about ten miles from my house actually. my pick would have been the macintosh, because thats the first computer my dad bought.

  9. when you sell your soul to devil... on Microsoft Fires Mac Fan For Blog Photo · · Score: 1

    you get burned. what would you expect from the most evil company in the world?

  10. whens gon be x86's time laudy on Review of Mac OS X 10.3 · · Score: 0, Troll

    every now and then some one asks why doesnt apple make an x86 version of os x. it seems on this eave of panther a great time reassert that question. STEVE JOBS, YOU MORON, WHY DONT YOU MAKE AN X86 VERSION OF OS X?

    p.s. if you say drivers ill bitch slap you, bsd has plenty of hardware support.

  11. what i got... on What's the Oldest Hardware You are Still Using? · · Score: 1

    i am currently typing on a keyboard that came with my dads zeos 386sx from back in the day on the back it has a switch labeled 80286 - 8088 i also have the 14 inch monitor from that system. unfortunately the actual box couldn't withstand my youthful curiousity and was long ago trashed.

  12. built time machine, got my copy today... on Apple Sets Oct. 24th Release For Mac OS X 10.3 · · Score: 1

    but if i say too much they might be able to hunt me down and do bad things. ok, ok, i just preordered me a copy. also i recomend you find a college student to buy you a copy if you dont like $129.

    p.s. xp home $199, xp pro $299, and before you say "but ms doesnt make you pay for upgrades" look real hard at xp and you might notice that it is just 2000 with a pretty face. every software company makes you pay for upgrades, mac upgrades come out quicker than windows upgrades i guess.

  13. thats a little extreme on Schools to Avoid: University of Florida · · Score: 1

    at my school they have this thing called a packet shaper and it has killed most every form of file sharing on the network, except irc :)

  14. What do you expect on More Jail Time For Computer Crime Starting Next Month · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is the government's answer to every crime, drugs, guns, and now computer crimes. When will the government learn that criminals don't care about jail time, by very definition a criminal can not have respect for the law he or she is breaking or the consequences that go along with breaking the law.

  15. now all we need are some lawyers on What The RIAA Gets Out Of File Sharing · · Score: 1

    If lawyers would read slashdot, so many of our worlds technology disputes would be solved. Oh well, heres to hope.

  18. neighborhood network on Baby Bells Promise Broadband Stagnation · · Score: 1

    this is why private citizens should band together and build their own networks and pay someone for a t-3 or whatever.

    i think minidiscs would make a great alternative to floppys, ive seen some computers for japan that have minidisc data drive but they use these exspensive data minidiscs, i dont see why someone cant make a drive that uses regular old cheap ausio minidiscs

  25. dare never has and never will work on Has D.A.R.E Been Effective? · · Score: 1
    I do not know why but for some reason parents think they can make these sorts of decisions for their childeren, parents and politicians need to realize that there is nothing they can do, kids are either going to take drugs or they wont no amount of propaganda will change that; the only thing that can be done is present the facts as coldly and scientifically as possible, and looking back on when I went through dare it was nothing but scare tactics and propaganda, it was quite obvious that the people teaching the class had never actually done any drugs themselves, i think if they want to continue the dare program they should at least tell the truth

    I am the run on king
