  1. Re:Too Connected? on Hiptop/Sidekick Sequel Unleashed · · Score: 1

    You are assuming that everybody works jobs with finite units of work to do. Try living the life of a CEO where if you work 16 hours a day instead of 8, your company makes 10% larger gains for the year.

    Time spent innovating is never wasted time, well, if you know what you're doing most of the time.

  2. Re:Prank Calls on Portable Phone Numbers = Market for Cool Numbers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There IS a local exchange (aka, the x portion of xxx-yyyy) of 666 for some areas of Michigan. I recall being surprised to see it instituted. I knew someone with a cell phone number including it.

  3. Re:Low latency on Nextel Jumps into Wide-Area Wireless Broadband · · Score: 4, Informative

    Posted link is broken.

    http://www.nextelbroadband.com/lrn_about_what_is_w ireless.html

    Is the correct link which does indeed state:

    Nextel Wireless Broadband's latency, or average delay, is 100ms or below.

  4. Re:I think they're on solid ground here. on Google Asks Booble To Cease And Desist · · Score: 1

    Now that is the most cryptic acronym I've ever seen.

    Or to translate to your language NTITMCAIES

  5. Re:the giveaway on Today's Windows Virus - MyDoom / Novarg · · Score: 2, Funny

    They should have opted for something more powerful, such at ROT26.

  6. Re:Save Disney site. on Disney Shuts Down 2D Animation Studio · · Score: 1

    Is there another site to save their server?

    That thing is loaded nicely.

  7. Legacy Animation on Legacy Server on Disney Shuts Down 2D Animation Studio · · Score: 2, Funny

    Apparently they believe in legacy hardware as well. That is one slow server.

  8. Re:Just an observation... on Unfinished Adventures · · Score: 1

    You don't get laid much, do you?

  9. Re:How is he surviving? on Fake Light Sabers Making Real Cash · · Score: 1
    I find these videos of people using the lightsabers quite amusing. This guy needs help.

  10. I am opposed to this opposition, DAMN Opposed! on Mars Exploration Must Consider Contamination · · Score: 1

    If my years of research in movie watchings has taught my anything, it's that missions to mars result in the return of ridiculously hot naked chics.(1,2) Having a fondess for said items, I am in support of the return of bacteria from martian soil to out small blue planet.

    1. Species
    2. Species II

    If the scientific community wishes to debate the science fact of these fine pieces of cinema, then I hope they're prepared to tear down other projects of pure research such as "Mission to Mars" and "Leprechaun: In Space".

  11. Re:Request on Exposing Spammers For All They're Worth · · Score: 1

    I may, and I better make quickies.

    Which reminds me, when was the last time slashdot HAD quickies?

  12. Entertainment Value of Spam on Exposing Spammers For All They're Worth · · Score: 5, Funny
    I have simply initiated a policy of placing falicious phone calls to spamming organizations.

    The last one I made was to another web hosting corporation, I used a deep south accent and kept asking about how many pullups a 'gigerbyte' was.

    Ocassionally he's use a three syllable word, and I'd freak out saying, "Ya'll from the future?". It ended when I started calling him boy, and talking about how "I don't done know them fancy reading boy words" while fake yelling at various red neck named children and referencing the fact that I was "Sick a dem computer boys lording their electronic pants over me".

    I did this from the office with mixed reactions from employees.

    The only event beating this one was when I actually talked a lady into a telemarketing office into checking three cubes down for me. I had her convinced that I was from the same agency and the autodialer had errored out. My next goal is to start a dispute between employees at a given location. It's hard work even to break them out of the script, let alone get them this far.

  13. Video Overlay Screens Used on Biking @ 80 MPH · · Score: 1
    I just hope they keep embedded systems out of the video screens used or the inevitable port of mame will have donkey kong throwing barrels at the driver. Failing that, pole position would be quite nice.


    I request, neh, DEMAND that this project be taken on.

  14. Popups will only get worse on Browser Spyware: Watching Where You Linger · · Score: 2, Funny
    The nightmares will begin tonight of a microsoft paperclip assistant style popup that pops up right as I read something. Of course I'm probably dooming us all by mentioning this idea, ah the irony.

    Must hit post before I think about repercusions.

  15. Low literacy levels? on Creative Games sans Violence? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    To suggest a solution as well as a direct statement of their literacy, I'd suggest anything in the "You Don't Know Jack" series. Seriously though good stuff.

  16. Re:AARGH! AM I THE ONLY SANE ONE IN THE ROOM?!?!? on Review: Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back · · Score: 1

    Filthy critic says it best with his review of Dogma:

    Dogma" is the story of second-tier characters of the Bible and Catholic doctrine subjected to a comic book geek's love for minutiae. It's a tedious exercise in mental masturbation by a guy who loves hearing himself talk, made by an industry with so few new ideas that they're afraid to edit him. The movie tries real hard to be funny, but unless piles of talking poop and the same joke ad nauseum is your idea of hilarious, you'll be sadly disappointed. And, if there is a message, it's completely lost under the lame jokes, clunky plotting, and non-stop yammering.

  17. Technical Contact Worries on Network Solutions Sells Out -- Domain Info For Sale · · Score: 1

    As I'm the technical contact for a few thousand domain names through NSI alone, this brings new hope for what I thought was the most possible spam anyone could receive.

    Luckily I've got employees to harass spammers via phone when spam reaches me. Time to hire more techicians.

    Ahhh yes, the power of delegation.
