  1. Is Yoda selling this? on Navy Jet eBayed - Some Assembly Required? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Everything to assemble we have.

    Maybe it crash-landed in Dagobah.

  2. My bet is... on Computer Engineering Degree Most Valuable · · Score: 1

    ...that they don't count all of the *unemployed* people with said degrees. In fact, they may not even count the people that are employed at McDonald's just to try to make ends meet while looking for a "real job".

  3. Re:Makes me wonder if you were in my class.. on Inside the Lego Master Builder Search · · Score: 1

    Same here. All I remember is that we made a vacuum.

  4. Makes me wonder if you were in my class.. on Inside the Lego Master Builder Search · · Score: 1

    GT?

  5. Hollabaugh's book also has good hardware tips. on Best Embedded Linux Development Kits? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here it is at Amazon.

  6. This looks like a very handy tool. on Linux From Scratch 5.0 Book Released · · Score: 1

    It seems like it has been updated very regularly, too.

  7. Single-lens reflex on Digital 35mm SLRs? · · Score: 1

    Essentially, you the image you see in the view-finder is actualy through the lens.

  8. Or, this non-reg link on Rodents of Unusual Size · · Score: 4, Informative

    ..to the UK's Independent:

    link

  9. No joke. on Not Enough Online Console Games? · · Score: 1

    Don't forget NCAA 2004, too.

    Maybe this guy wrote the article months ago ;)

  10. Does Delos... on My Pal Mickey -- Interactive Theme Park Doll · · Score: 1

    equal Westworld?

  11. I think negative reviews can be helpful... on Linux Clustering · · Score: 1

    At the least, they can keep me from spending my hard-earned cash on poor products.

    However, I do agree that it should be a requirement that if you leave a negative review, you should also show an alternative title.

  12. How do you plan that far in advance? on Carmageddon Careens Back Onto Radar · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How do you tell people that you are going to have a game out in two years? Is it being designed for today's equipment? Tomorrow's? Equipment two years from now?

    My gut says that either it'll never come out, or it'll be so out of date by the time it does that nobody'll buy it (*ack*Daikatana*ack*)

  13. Does it still "base" at Meigs Field? on Flight Simulator 2004 Coverage · · Score: 4, Funny

    And, if it does, do you have to taxi over potholes?

    Google's cached version

  14. Since when is a Mac not a "PC"? on School May Turn Down $43K In Free Macs · · Score: 1

    I mean, doesn't PC stand for personal computer? Is a Mac not a personal computer? Isn't there some other way to label these machines (Wintel boxes, for instance?)

  15. Read avs forums on Home-Grown TiVo Stories? · · Score: 5, Informative

    http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?s= &forumid=26

    They'll be your friend.

    Regular cable is best, just because of TV tuner cards.

    Also check out http://www.mythtv.com if you want to go the linux route.

  16. Don't the artists have some say in this? on Instant Concert CDs? · · Score: 0

    How about, say, Phish - who sell their own CDs of concerts at LivePhish.com?

  17. Wouldn't this be defying their DSL TOS? on IFPI Employee Describes P2P Sabotage Activities · · Score: 0

    It seems to me that their DSL provider could say that they were in violation of their TOS by knowingly spreading false material. Maybe it is spam in some sense.

  18. Re:In place of these silly features on Google Experiments · · Score: 0

    Go to www.google.com. Click "Preferences". Change the drop-down box next to "Number of Results" from its default (10) to anything up to 100.

    I don't think that this will affect anyhting with the API - just personal html searches. The API hasn't "been there for years."

  19. The difference... on RoadRunner Co-Opting "Organization" Headers · · Score: 0

    is that an area code change changes the functionality of yourphone service, if you are not advised. How does adding a tag to your Usenet posts alter their functionality?

  20. Which Olympic games? on Buy a Russian Space Shuttle · · Score: 0

    Should we be disturbed that one of their shuttles appeared at an event that didn't exist?

    "Of those, one Buran was turned into a space-themed restaurant at Gorky Park in Moscow and another was given a fresh coat of paint before going on display for more than a year in Sydney, Australia during the time of the 2001 Summer Olympic Games."

    Last I checked, those were the 2000 Summer Olympic Games.

  21. Re:The Limbaughs need this. on Virtual-U (SimUniversity) Now Available · · Score: 0

    Just more evidence that conservatives are just as pro-big government as the liberals they chastize.

    I believe that the word you are looking for is "nepotistic", not :pro-big government".

  22. Re:If you slashdotters had half a brain on Worst Buy · · Score: 0

    speaking of "idiots", why'd you put the apostrophe in "catalog's"? Is it possessive?

    Anonymous coward.

  23. Re:Code bloat alert! on Old Sierra Games Breathe Anew · · Score: 0

    cool....save the bandwidth for the rest of us.

  24. Re:You'd have to be stupid to be caught by this. on Cheating Detector from Georgia Tech · · Score: 0

    Unfortunately, this isn't a "high school" cheat-detector. It'd catch ya.

  25. Re:Pocket PC Price on Is That A Railgun In Your Pocket PC? · · Score: 0

    A-ha!

    If you only looked for deals, you could find the Ipaq 3670 for ~$200 after rebate, like i did!
