  1. Further proof on Company Claims Ownership of Digital Messaging · · Score: 2

    That the USPTO is staffed with lazy incompetent morons.

  2. Problems solved... on Ask Slashdot: What To Do When the Rapture Comes? · · Score: 1

    No more traffic jams on the interstate or on the internets for that matter. Except here at /.

  3. Getting rid of "Stuff" on Ask Slashdot: DOSBox, or DOS Box? · · Score: 1

    Been going through many years of accumulated "stuff" and I found parts of my old Altair and a Heathkit. They brought an nostalgic moment, but out they went along with my old US Robotics modem and a box of old DOS games.

    Can't believe that I hauled all that "stuff" around from place to place all these years.

  4. Re:Damn Republicans! on PROTECT IP Act Follows In COICA's Footsteps · · Score: 1

    You might take note that Leahy is a Democrat.

  5. That smells like on Apple: "We must Have Comprehensive Location Data" · · Score: 1

    Bullshit!

  6. Re:regardless of the optimal queuing strategy... on Scientifically, You Are Likely In the Slowest Line · · Score: 1

    IT doesn't make a lot of difference. Inevitably, when I get up to the cashier, I have to wait until they check out to go on break and wait until the new cashier has checked in.

     

  7. Further proof on Microsoft Eyes PC Isolation Ward To Thwart Botnets · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There is no cure for stupid.

  8. Re:Isn't it obvious on Say No To a Government Internet "Kill Switch" · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hmmmmm... Didn't you notice the Diploma ffrom the Hugo Chavez School of Governing on the Oval Office wall?

  9. Re:Impossible task! on No Dual-Boot XO Laptop, According to Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Seeing "high quality" and "windows experience" together in the same sentence.

    Jeez! Another thing that I thought I'd never see crossed off the list.

  10. Re:I feel a song coming on... on The Return of the Commodore? · · Score: 1

    I still have my VIC 20 somewhere. I remember having more fun with it, than I have now with my souped-up AMD dual-core.

    I think about finding it and hooking it up, every once in awhile, just so I can play a game of "Millipede".

    Ah... memories. Or... as BH always said, "Thanks for the..."

  11. Oh! WOW! on IE7 Will Have Tabbed Browsing · · Score: 1

    Hooray!!! Tabbed Browsing!!!

    Boy I'm really looking forw....

    Oh, wait... Nevermind, I already have that.

    Hey Mr. Gates, innovate something new for me. Something unique! Something original! Something that hasn't been copied, stolen or bought.

    If you can.

  12. Re:and others will fill their places on LinuxWorld Senior Editorial Staff Resigns · · Score: 1

    I agree. I'm sure that there are many graduates from the "CBS/Dan Rather School of Ethical Journalism" out there who will be willing to put time in with the "Devil".

  13. Re:GAHHHH!!! on Microsoft Can't DRM Docs Fast Enough · · Score: 4, Informative

    You might try the MAF extension to Firefox.

    "This is an archive extension that allows complete web pages to be saved in a single archive file. MAF stands for Mozilla Archive Format and the extension uses RDF to save page meta-data such as the original URL of the page and the date/time the page was put in the archive. It also allows pages to be saved in a separate MHTML compatible format for interoperability with IE systems."

  14. CueCat Infomercial on CNET Says CueCat Restrictions Are Bogus · · Score: 1

    Has anyone seen the 30min infomercial for the CueCat? It takes place in a future hi-tech classroom where the teacher is teaching the class that the CueCat changed history. The students couldn't believe that people used to type in URLs or use search engines to find information on the net. After about 5 minutes I had to change the channel before I gagged. Digital:convergence really has delusions of grandeur.

  15. Question? on Several Boycotts Of RIAA Organizing · · Score: 1

    I've not heard this explained. If the use of Napster is causing the recording industry to lose such massive amounts of money, how were they able to have over 8 billion dollars in increased revenues?

  16. Re:But where does it go? on Slashdot Meets The Pinkerton Corp. · · Score: 1

    From the WAVE webpage: "By 2002, youth will account for over $1.3 billion of the e-commerce dollars spent. With your exposure to students, as well as, teachers and parents, your organization will gain access to large segment of the buying power in the communities where the WAVE America Program is available." There is the bottom line. It's all about preying on the emotional fears of people to extract as much money as they can. Damn the consequences, there's money to be had.
