  1. Re:Pussies, the lot of you on Thunderbird 1.5 Arrives · · Score: 1

    Telnet, ha! I use a laser pointer and a fiber optic line.

  2. SUDO Commands on Linux in a Business - Got Root? · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    You forgot AIII-YAAA!

  3. Re:So... on 6.8GHz 1TB RAM and 2TB HDD Laptop? · · Score: 1
    You wouldn't need to defrag a solid state device since the benefit from defragging is shorter load times, due to the time it takes to search for something on the HDD platter. With solid state it would find it no matter where it is.

  4. Credit Cards on 1981 Personal Computer Catalog · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Holy crap, people actually paid more to use credit cards back then? People don't even carry cash anymore. I wonder how freaked out people would be now-a-days if I told them I was adding 3% to their purchase.

  5. DVD sales on Futurama: Can it be True!? · · Score: 1

    1. Make more episodes to sell to CN
    2. Air them on FOX
    3. Sell the DVDs.

    Sounds like a winning plan to me. People won't stop their DVD collections just because the shows back on the air.

  6. "Pause" button on PSX Review At Lik-Sang · · Score: 1

    Over in the review they said that there is a button that just freezes the game. Did they mean the start button or what? I looked at the pictures of the controllers and I didn't see anything. Can anyone clarify?

  7. Re:Ahh, another class action lawsuit... on Slashback: NIC, Dastar, Defects · · Score: 1
    Just because the consumers aren't getting anything from the suit, doesn't mean they're not getting anything. I have an HP and I know that I had to replace the hard drive 3 times, and at least one of those was probably a Fujitsu, but HP took care of it everytime, so they're really the ones taking the financial burden, so if they get some money from Fujitsu from it, I wouldn't be the least bit offended. Hopefully all the customers got the replacement drive like I did, and I don't think it'd be a bad thing that they personally don't reap financial benefits from it.

    I know computer nerds aren't supposed to buy prebuilts, but it was bought for me, and HP really came through. I didn't even have to pay for shipping or any costs. Really made a good impression on me.

  8. April Fools on RotK Delayed Until May 2004 · · Score: 2, Funny
    C'mon, these are some pretty weak April Fool's jokes this year. Although I would cry if this was true, I'm sure it isn't. I mean, it's not, right? Right?????

  9. Re:Typical on How Looks Your Geekroom? · · Score: 1
  10. Mother on Are Video Phones Back From The Dead? · · Score: 1
    Haven't you ever seen the movie "Mother"? Getting one to talk to you Grandma with would be such a bad idea.

  11. 600 acres? on Wanted: Home for Adventurous Robots · · Score: 2, Funny
    I've got a spare bedroom. Just send me 2 or 3 would you?

  12. Drivers on A Rock Moves In Space · · Score: 4, Funny
    God damn llama riders! Why don't they watch where they're going.

  13. Re:Certainly. on Suddenly a JPEG Patent and Licensing Fee · · Score: 2, Funny
    We'll just go make our own. How hard can it make a lossy compression format? We'll just make it run Windows and lose some data.

  14. Re:Hmmm on Greenbacks No More · · Score: 1
    They don't make them anymore. If you're running around with a bunch of long out of print $500's, someone's going to know something's up.

    I only know they don't because it was a question on Jeopardy :)

  15. I want to beta test! on Final Fantasy XI PC Requirements Announced · · Score: 1
    Dammit! I knew I should have learned Japanese.

  16. Door games on Remembering the BBS · · Score: 2
    L.O.R.D. 4 l1fe!!!!

  17. SETI on Slashback: Hagiography, Oracle, Fusion · · Score: 1
    The information about SETI getting it's half-billionth piece of data was already posted wasn't it?

  18. Re:sweet, but what next? on SETI@Home Close to Half-Billionth Result · · Score: 1
    Pi is infinite. Even massive computing power cannot disprove that.

  19. Re:DOS is dead on DoS Attacks Persisting, On The Rise · · Score: 1
    Here's a link to a related article on Salon. Third paragraph down I think.

  20. Re:DOS is dead on DoS Attacks Persisting, On The Rise · · Score: 1
    One more thing to point out it that a federal US judge did deem it legal to link to a website without the consent of the linked party, and that's just what the editors of Slashdot are doing. The consequence is just sometimes the unintentional DoS.

  21. Re:Fuck all y'all bitches! on GameBoy Web Server · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    Ahh yes, 320x240 pixelated pr0n. Why not just go here and look at some hardcore action? (It's not goatse.cx, I promise.)

  22. The PUC on CA Utility Commission to Regulate DSL · · Score: 1

    You know, during the rolling blackouts (I am in CA[California, not Canada]) I read a little about these guys and it doesn't seem they've really done lots of good, and I don't know whether or not it was because they just timed their moves very poorly or if they really are as dumb as they seem, but I'm for anything that could concievably bring the prices on broadband down a little :)

    I'm a broke college student! $50 is way too much (not living in dorms if you couldn't tell)

  23. Re:Doh! Check the timestamp. on Do Programming Languages Affect Your Sexual Performance? · · Score: 1
    But it's not April 1 where I am! (West Coast)

  24. The Sacramento Bee on Cheap Spray-on Plastic Solar Cells Coming · · Score: 1
    The saddest part is that I have a subsciption to it, but I find out about it here. Good ol' Slashdot :)

  25. Re:My pick goes for RSA on Deep Algorithms? · · Score: 1
    It's got nothing on rot13 ;)
