  1. Metal computer desks on Wooden Computer Accessories · · Score: 1

    Now they will have to make metal computer desks to match the wooden accessories.

    As my wife just said, how will you know when to stop typing.

  2. has become? on Online Porn - The Technology Testbed? · · Score: 1

    What do you mean has become? It's almost always been the technology test bed for practicaly every form of visual entertainment.

  3. Ya know... on New Net Battle Over ".mobile" Looming · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They don't need a .mobile domain to connect their phones and PDAs to the internet, don't they? ;-)

    Like it will matter, people will just continue to find unique domains and register stuff like

    myphonenumber.com
    myphonenumber.net
    myphonenum ber.org
    myphonenumber.biz
    myphonenumber.cc
    myph onenumber.tv
    myphonenumber.de
    myphonenumber.mx

    Because, what if, forbid, someone just randomly types in myphonenumber.mx, but doesn't try myphonenumber.com. Oh no!

  4. A headphone day on The Psychology Behind Headphones · · Score: 3, Funny

    One of my coworkers once said:

    It's going to be a headphone day.

    What he meant by that is that he needed to block out all the annoying noise coming out of other people's mouths and so on as they came back and asked questions. I do that sometimes too.

  5. Can't we focus on something else now? on Seattle Times Reviews Desktop Linux Distros · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think that the time for linking to every article that talks about Linux or compares it with Windows has passed. Linux is becoming mainstream. The time has come to focus about other aspects of it on slashdot.

  6. Whoa.. on Manufacturing 1 PC Takes 1.8 Tons Of Raw Material · · Score: 1

    United Nations has a university? That seems odd.

  7. How to cook with the Internet on Cooking with the Internet? · · Score: 2, Funny

    1. Place pan directly on CPU.
    2. Place article about SCO on hard drive.
    3. Post URL of article to Slashdot
    4. Let cook for 15-20 minutes
    5. Serve and eat!

    *Use article about Gnome vs. KDE for higher altitudes

  8. Solutions for tired sysadmins on The Oft Frustrating Job of a Sysadmin · · Score: 1

    Here is some ascii art that a coworker where I work made back in 1998. Actually the systhug.com site itself was our attempt to try to organize some sysadmin information. Back then, we even tried to make a pseudo-union type deal, called the Local 202.

  9. I would say something but.... on The Oft Frustrating Job of a Sysadmin · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm too frustrated with work to talk about it. Wait, why am I reading slashdot. Argh!!!

  10. Not for a few more minutes... on Satellite Celebrates 20 Years Working in Orbit · · Score: 4, Funny

    Just wait, I'm calibrating the targeting device on my low orbit space modulator.

    Hold it... Hold it........ Fire!

  11. Re:Cheap publicity stunt on SCO Identifies EV1Servers as Linux Licensee · · Score: 2, Insightful

    People running a business don't care about "sticking it to SCO". They want a cheap server (which EV1 offers) and ....."

    This only works for so long. I work at a company that is a bit more expensive, but we offer better service and more reliable features. Some people leave, but most of them come back claiming that the other place sucks/was down too much/bad service/bad connections, etc. People want something cheap, but more importantly is that it actually works for them.

  12. Businesses shouldn't be afraid to ask customers on SCO Identifies EV1Servers as Linux Licensee · · Score: 1

    On suso.org, I frequently ask my clients what they want out of their email/web hosting, etc. They give me feedback and tell me that one of the reasons why they like my service so much is because I include them.

    I think too many businesses nowadays make decisions without actually surveying the customer base. After all, it is a service for THEM.

  13. A defining moment in any software's life on Imminent Mandrake Name Change? · · Score: 1

    It seems like your software isn't cool anymore unless it gets a courtorder at some point in it's lifetime to change it's name.

    Someone should compile a list of all these things, because there seems to be A TON of them.

  14. Where I work on WiFi Free-For-All · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    At the ISP where I work, I can sit in the lobby and pick up about 3 other free wide open WiFi APs from the couch in the lobby.

  15. If it doesn't exist.... on What If Dark Matter Really Doesn't Exist? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...then 99.9999999% of the world won't notice. But it will be on CNN anyways.

  16. You know what I miss? on Good Online FPS Games/Servers For Beginners? · · Score: 1

    I miss standing at the entrace inside the dungeon in the original Diablo, then saying to people in the town "Hey, come down and help me". Then when they come through the entrace... WHACK! "Hey you fucker, why did you do that". Great fun.

    Anyone who calls me a sicko probably did it too.

  17. Better late than never? on Source of Amiga Video Toaster Software Released · · Score: 1

    I think it would be good for programmers (even those not into video) to look through their code. The team at NewTek supposibly did a lot of innovative stuff to get all that they could out of the Amiga hardware.

    17,525 cinnomon cats later...

  18. How to break it. on "Port Knocking" For Added Security · · Score: 1

    Seems like it would be easy to setup distributed clients that check all ports on a machine at once to see if a combination worked or not. While security through obscurity helps a bit, it shouldn't give one the false impression of security.

  19. I just don't send in the card at all. on Stores Use Discount Cards To Notify Of Recall · · Score: 1

    Most stores rely on you sending in a card with your information, I just don't send the cards in:

    I wrote a thought on it a while back here and also here.

  20. OWN3D! on Spirit Rover Communications Error · · Score: 1

    And another one does, another one does, another one bites the dust.

  21. Cryptographic filesystem on FBI Conducts Raids Over Half-Life 2 Source Theft · · Score: 2, Informative

    Sounds like someone needs to use a cryptographic filesystem.

  22. A reasonable sentence. on Spammer Sentencing Guidelines · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Despite how emotional I can get about spam and spammers. I think a reasonable sentence would be maybe a year in prison but then have your computer use suspended for 5-10 years. That would hopefully at least get rid of some of the spam for a while.

  23. If you want to build your muscles playing games... on New Gamepad Designed To Build Muscles? · · Score: 1

    .. go play Epyx Summer Games for C64 with a Joystick.

  24. Back up to what? on A Terabyte In A Cigar Box · · Score: 1

    Back it up? What are you going to back it up to?

  25. Someone is beating me too it. on Matrix-Style Brain Interface Closer To Reality · · Score: 1

    I guess I need to be quicker on the draw, I was planning to do exactly what this Cyberkinetics place has already done. Oh well. I still have a few more ideas related to that under my belt though. ;-)
