  1. Thank God this is NBC and not FOX on YouTube Revives Failed Sitcom Pilot · · Score: 1

    Fox has a history of killing shows with a great fan "buzz" but don't seem to capture the audience Fox believes they deserve (see : Family Guy pre-cancellation, Arrested Development). This pilot really reminds me of Arrested Development in its satire, and I wouldn't be surprised if the creator named AD as a creative influence. While AD had a very devoted audience, they couldn't avoid being cancelled. I think that this show would suffer the same fate as AD if Fox would be the ones picking it up.

  2. Re:Just Use Open Wireless Access Points on Linux Based CarPC · · Score: 1

    That's exactly the point. If it's "a simple question that has a simple answer" you can look up yourself, then why don't you just.. look it up yourself?

  3. Re:Just Use Open Wireless Access Points on Linux Based CarPC · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    So if you just want fact, rather than opinion... why the hell wouldn't you just check out Verizon's website on your own?

    Rather than look it up for you, here's some help. Their site is http://www.verizonwireless.com/ and the streaming video is part of VCast.

    Feel free to peruse the rest of the internet while you're at it.

  4. Re:Obviously..... on Top 100 Hoaxes of All Time · · Score: 1

    Better yet, Slashdot's IPO should be at the top :)

  5. What kind of world? on Xbox Runs Its First Legal Homebrew App · · Score: 3

    A brave new one.

  6. Re:Dell 20" LCD is MUCH cheaper... on 21.3" LCD Monitor Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or was anyone else hesitant to click that link? "goatse.cx? no, i guess it's gotapex.com"...

  7. Re:"Everything went great until it looked like... on From Midway to Xbox, The story of Seamus Blackley · · Score: 2, Funny

    Details, details. This is slashdot, remember?

  8. Re:What's "mofo" mean? on MoFo Sues Spammer · · Score: 1

    Dude, do you want a MORE obvious troll? Jeez!

  9. Re:WOW! on Impressive Homemade Aluminum Cube Case · · Score: 1

    Emm. He gives a roundabout number from 300 to 400 Euros (HUGEly roundabout) and you do your conversions to 4 significant digits each? Wow, SOMEONE missed those high school chem/physics lectures about significant digits.

  10. Calista?! on Physical ASCII Mosaic · · Score: 3, Funny

    If he really wanted approval of the /. community, he could have used a REAL actress, and done us trolls a favour with Physical ASCII of Natalie Portman. (And if she were to be naked & petrified, I sure as hell wouldn't complain.)

    Just a thought.

  11. Re:fun and games on German Government Introduces Digital Signatures · · Score: 1

    You forgot all the "Noise 11" type names too. Quite a few parodies of that guy. (He's on Kuro5hin now, right?)

  12. Plastic Takes A Look... on Review: Black Hawk Down · · Score: 1

    As seen on Plastic : An alternative view of Black Hawk Down.

  13. Slot Loaded... on Complete PC instead of a Car Stereo · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They should have used a slot-loaded optical drive instead of the tray. It would be less of a jump for people to grep if it was more like a regular car cd-player.

  14. Hrm... on IBM 1GB Microdrive Review · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or haven't these 1GB drives been out for a *while* now? It's not like this is a review of something that *just* came out...

  15. Re:"Wait for it on DVD" not an insult? on Info on the LOTR:FOTR DVD · · Score: 1

    Heh. I say this all the time already. Sure, I really want to see movies like "Monsters, Inc" and whatnot, but why bother in the theater when it's $8.75 per person per showing. If I just wait, for double that I can have unlimited amounts of people watching it (well, kinda. Within Fair Use, at least), and unlimited viewings, with a far better atmosphere, better seats, and extra DVD-only things. All I sacrifice is a wait.

  16. Re:New option on Slashdot Code Update · · Score: 1

    If you post at a lower score, you should be prohibited from being moderated up. People will just use it to karma whore...

  17. Re:Not "Finally", just another step on Bush Lightens Supercomputer Export Restrictions · · Score: 1

    http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=99/08/04/014021 8&mode=nested ...

    look at the URL, it's 99/08/04. There ya go, a date.

  18. Groping! on Gnumeric 1.0 Has Arrived · · Score: 1

    We want good groping functionality in Gnome. Thank god that Pornzilla is nearing 1.0!

  19. Wow, already!? on Quake 2 Source Code Released Under The GPL · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I feel so old, Quake II is the only one of the Quake series that I truly enjoyed. Quake I had a dark feel, the kind that a 3AM session with the sound up (especially the subwoofer) would scare the hell out of you, but crappy multiplayer. Quake III had this ultra-modern feel that was just a bit too smooth for me. Quake II was a nice combination of both, especially since the multiplayer kicked ass.

    Now at least I don't have to have a pirated version of QII (*cough*).

  20. Re:Any company that actualy died due to piracy? on Fed Raids Software Pirates in 27 Cities · · Score: 1

    Sega. Well, their hardware business, at least.

  21. Re:I must be missing something on Review: SliMP3 · · Score: 1
    2. Web interface. Is there client control for WinAmp?

    Not built in, but there are plenty of plug-ins for winamp that do that. Don't have links, but I've done it in the past.

  22. But the important question is... on NiP Wins Counter-Strike CPL · · Score: 0, Troll

    The important question was, do these ninjas eat pancakes? I have no respect for any ninja that does not eat pancakes, for pancakes are the staple of the proper ninja diet. The rest of us will have to suffice with hot grits (down our pants, no less).

  23. Think of the porn! on Quantum Holography · · Score: 2

    Wow, all the ideas going through my head are just amazing me. Thieves could use this to see if someone's in a house, and slashdotters could use it to broadcast live porn!

  24. Re:Interesting on Dual G4 Mac Cube · · Score: 1

    Won't that slow it down, by making it pass over some sort of bridge, though?

  25. grrreeeeeeeat.... on Wrist Watch Camera Now with Color Display · · Score: 3, Funny
    great, now we can get our exotic dancers in full (arright, 4096) colour...

    Now what's a compelling reason to own one, again?
