  1. This is explains some things on MS Targets Google With Another Smear Campaign · · Score: 1

    As a member of the local hackerspace, I receive a ton of emails via their mailing list. There was recently a lot of discussion about acquiring some liquid nitrogen for some experiments. Fast-forward a couple days, now I get banner ads on Youtube for sementanks.com which isn't embarrassing at all.

  2. They told me on Blockbuster Total Access Unannounced Policy Change · · Score: 1

    Last time I returned my mail rental for an in-store rental the lady at the counter told me about the changes. My initial reaction was that the changes made sense. Now, if they take away my two free in-store game rentals, I'll be pissed, because that's like a $10/mo value.

  3. Re:Few stories back... on One Broken Router Takes Out Half the Internet? · · Score: 1

    Five.. Five dollar.. Five dollar nuke suuuuub

  4. Re:Uses on "Roadable Aircraft" Moving Towards Launch · · Score: 4, Funny

    ouch, telefragged

  5. Re:Slippery Slope on Miniaturized DNA Sewing Machines · · Score: 1

    That reminds me, I haven't seen Gattaca in quite some time. I'd definitely recommend it.

  6. Re:Nice, but.... on Jack Thompson Served With Order to Show Cause · · Score: 1

    Are you suggesting that our second amendment rights are a "real problem"?

  7. Re:maybe slashdot should contact the candidates ag on Ron Paul Campaign Answers Slashdot Reader Questions · · Score: 1

    Is it still called voting if you use a screwdriver and a usb thumbdrive to do it?

  8. So, what you're TRYING to say is.. on How To Lose Your Job, Thanks To The Internet · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's probably not a good idea to get totally trashed, strip naked, and broadcast yourself all over the internet?

    Better tell that dude.

  9. Re:What the poorer countries really need on Dvorak Slams OLPC As 'Naive Fiasco' · · Score: 1

    So we give their kids some laptops, a chunk of the kids become really interested in the things, and in a few years I can outsource my boring web development drudgery (for myself, I'm sure someone would love doing it) to some poor kids in another country, and they'd get paid well for it, as long as they can get internet access wherever they are.

  10. Re:Finally a competitor in a non-competative marke on Google Hopes to Disaggregate Carriers with gPhone · · Score: 1

    The N800 isn't actually a phone though is it? I need internet access when I'm at these stupid places like Starbucks where they want to charge $15/day for wifi.

  11. Finally a competitor in a non-competative market on Google Hopes to Disaggregate Carriers with gPhone · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Considering I pay over $55/mo for my blackberry with an unlimited data connection, and I can't even tether to my laptop (use as a modem) via bluetooth or USB (at least in Linux), anything that allows more connectivity and openness is sure to be a hit with more technical users. I couldn't give half a hoot about being able to buy annoying ringtones, it's the connectivity that I want.

    So, hurry up google, I need you.

  12. A monumental breakthrough! on Some Moray Eels Have Two Sets of Jaws · · Score: 1

    After reading the description, the first thing I thought of was the goatse photo... Something is very wrong with me

  13. Obligatory on One Species' Genome Discovered Inside Another's · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Hey, you got fruitfly in my wolbachia"
    "You got wolbachia in my fruitfly!"

  14. Re:There is no problem on How Much Does a New Internet Cost? · · Score: 1

    I suppose that's why my Qwest DSL goes from 1mbit on Saturday/Sunday to 200kbps on weekdays right? The overbuilding?

  15. Storm? on Canonical Begins To Open-Source Launchpad · · Score: 3, Informative

    Anyone know how Storm compares to SQLObject? They appear to achieve the same goal.

  16. Re:Which one are we? on Military Running a Parallel Earth Simulator · · Score: 1

    If that were the case, the graphics would be way better.

  17. Run! on W3C Bars Public From Public Conference · · Score: 1
  18. Re:Where's Novell? on Why Microsoft Won't List Claimed Patent Violations · · Score: 1

    Like Vonage?

  19. Re:Homeless? on Internet2 Taken Out by Stray Cigarette · · Score: 1

    Agreed, there's no way this was a simple BumDoS.

  20. Full version? on Novell/Linux Parody on Apple's Mac vs PC Ads · · Score: 3, Funny

    What the heck did they cut out the part where hot Novell Linux girl takes a $20 from the PC for certain favors out behind the shed?

    (frackin sellouts..)

  21. Re:There are more civil ways on Dell Censors IdeaStorm Linux Dissent · · Score: 1

    But does Michael Dell actually throw chairs?

  22. Err, is it just me? on The Return of Toys · · Score: 1

    Did anyone else see that "Spy Video Car" and immediately think of zooming through women's dressing rooms? Looking at these neat toys make me feel 14 again.

  23. Re:the real problem here on Viva Piñata Apparently 'For Girls' · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Maybe if the games marketed towards girls weren't so insultingly bad, then this wouldn't be quite so insulting, but that isn't the case.

    Who'd have thought Bill Gates could emasculate a bunch of male gamers so easily? ;)

  24. Re:Isn't it just Microsoft-style "bloat"? on Linux 2.6.20-rc6 Kernel Performance · · Score: 1

    This binary is HUGE, the idiot programmer must have put comments ALL THROUGHOUT his code!!

  25. Well, I'm not the first on Vista Upgrades Require Presence of Old OS · · Score: 2, Funny
