  1. Re:T ypical unrewarded IT geek reponse on Replaced by Outsourcing -- What's a Geek to Do? · · Score: 1
    Right - business does drive technology - I agree.


    Bzzzzzt! Wrong!. Pr0n drives technology. Why else would we need color screens, high bandwidth, high resolution... Ok. And games. porn and games.

  2. Re:GameCube +! on Geek Gift Ideas 2001 · · Score: 1

    Dude. I can't resist.
    *YOU NEED VIDEO GAMES ON YOUR HONEYMOON* ?!?!

    My wife would have killed me.

    I would have killed me.

  3. Translations and Logos on U.S. Logo-Free TV Broadcast Organizations? · · Score: 1

    I hate these logos, but generally I can tune them out. More and more we have to do that to live in this world. However, I was watching a program on TLC the other day, in which they were interviewing some Tungooskan (sp?) people, about the explosion over siberia. They had a translation. They also had their little logo in the corner of the screen. This caused me to miss the last few words of everything translated. That's not the only time I've seen that happen.

  4. Sircam, the Voyeurs virus. on Fight Virus With Virus? · · Score: 1

    Sadly I haven't gotten many of
    these virii mails, however when I do,
    I always |strings (just like with any word doc). It's interesting what you end up finding.
    According to a friend of mine, a SirCam infected PC in his HR dept sent out an excel spreadsheet with employee salary's. Yippeee!

  5. Dateline 2045 on "Encounter 2001" To Send Human DNA To Space · · Score: 1

    Scientists on Mars have recently decoded the message beamed back from the region of Alpha Centauri. After five years of research and computation, the message reads: "Thanks for the snack".

  6. Internet Addiction on Virtual Addiction · · Score: 2

    In order to graduate from college
    in 1996, with a B.A. in Psych (yeah, I'm really using it) I had to finish a senior thesis.
    Mine was, An Exploratory Study of Internet Addiction.

    I'm sure it anyone's interested, they could request it from the Purchase College, SUNY library.

    It's interesting to note, that at that point, this idea wasn't taken very seriously, so prior research was quite a pain. I had to tie in other types of addiction.

  7. Just when I think on Stuffing Junkmail Postage-Paid Envelopes? · · Score: 1

    Geee, there hasn't been a "waste of space" article on /. today... Someone comes along and
    corrects me.

  8. Stage Crashers on Ask 'They Might Be Giants' · · Score: 5

    I was at the Philadelphia show (day after thanksgiving) when that doofy guy jumped on stage and started flailing about. You whispered into his ear before security took him away. I was just curious what you said to him. Other than that and the few sound glitches (ouch) that was an incredible show. Thanks guys.

  9. SlashDot the Vote. on Uncensored Media Considered Harmless · · Score: 3

    Hey all, we have power, we take down servers by our sheer numbers. We are many. Let's pick a candidate and /. the vote.

  10. Bars, etc on Linux-based Internet Radio Appliance · · Score: 1

    I could see this selling very well to places
    which use cable radio for their consumers. Bars, whatnot could have many more stations available using internet radio... And imagine, you could set up your own streams.... "Hey stevie, gimme a lager, and set the kerbango to irqzero radio".

  11. Re:More signs of the apoc^H^H^H^H^H^H nevermind on Brightest Moon Fallacy · · Score: 1

    heh.
    and lo,
    the lion did lay down with the lamb.
    the hacker with the sysadmin.

  12. Constitution? on North Carolina Tries to Tax Online Purchases · · Score: 1

    What's that?
    I remember something about "grandfathering"
    don't you all? Shouldn't they have been told
    last year that this was going to be the case
    this year.
    I'd like to see someone take this to the supreme
    court.

  13. Re:Solution on Reverse Time Could Explain Dark Matter · · Score: 2

    Another problem with time machines that no one seems to think of, is the motion in the universe. I.E. 1. Friend gets hit by a car. 2. You travel back in time with the good intention of saving him. 3. You're both dead. He's a smear on the road, and you are in the vacuum of space, because the earth is not where you left it when you went back in time.

  14. pictures on NASA and AI Testing · · Score: 1

    Does anyone think it's odd that there aren't any pictures from the craft? I mean, there are all these artist's renderings, but no actual photos. I don't know, just food for thought. Oh, and if I somehow missed the pictures, please, point me in the right direction.

  15. Re:big picture on zdtv (zdnet winner) on Ask Slashdot: Got the BigPicture? · · Score: 1

    Mine works fine under linux, I even had a web cam
    setup for a while. I use the 2.2 kernel with the VfL stuff compiled in. Before 2.2 I was using the
    VfL modules stand alone. Both worked incredibly well. The only complaint I have about the cam is that it is very hard (at least with mine) to get a good color picture. If the lights aren't bright in the room, I get people asking me if the cam is black and white. However, I never noticed this type of problem with my old quickcam (may it rest in pieces). I do think this is a fault of the cam and not of the linux support.
    I will send in a vmail to zdnet using some linux app to record, that would be neat. I do spend some time on their
    "Netcam" forum, and frequently post messages of linux advocacy.

  16. An interesting observation... on Doom Causes Kid to Kill · · Score: 1

    Not only is he logging onto porn sites,
    but I believe that the basketball
    diarys is an nc-17 rated movie.
    So his parents are letting him
    a. log into porn sites.
    b. watch nc-17 rated films.
    And he was 14? The parents are the ones who should be sued. They should serve time with him if he's convicted. :)

  17. I have one. on One-handed Keyboards · · Score: 1

    Woo, my boss just bought me one.
    My wrists have been bothering me,
    so I'm not just crying wolf, but I thought that
    this might be a way to head of carpal tunnel.
    Im excited. can't wait until it comes.

  18. Philly ADSL on BellAtlantic ADSL absurdity · · Score: 1

    According to Bell A, I was supposed to be cruising
    at 640k/s in early fall 98, then late fall 98, now
    "possibly" this month or next. What the hell?
    They're such a bunch of jokers....

  19. we were warned, but... on Trojan Added to TCP Wrappers Source on FTP · · Score: 1

    It probably just put the idea in someone head...
    Either that, or it's a conspiracy :)
