  1. Quickie on Quickies Knows Quickies. Quickies is Quickies. · · Score: 1

    Quickie is also the brandname of a power chair.One that I did not buy b/c of its name.Do you blame me?

  2. Malaysia on Bringing The Internet To Borneo -- By Sea · · Score: 1

    When I was tuned to receive random chats on ICQ a few tears ago,I received one from a 17 year old girl in Malaysia.Borneo is a different island,which Malaysia owns part of.I beleive it's sparsely populated.BTW,either your reviewer has it wrong as to the spelling of Malaysia,or I am in error.

  3. Re:bookmark on Netscape 6 Vs. 4.7x · · Score: 1

    About a month ago I switched from Netscape 4.72 to IE5.5,b/c people told me it's faster on DSL.I miss those bookmarks real bad. It is faster on DSL.Why?

  4. katz's wordiness(again) on Cyberdemocracy And The Public Sphere · · Score: 1

    I just HATE it when the story begins with words,words, words and more words.Ruins my whole day.Couldn't Katz act like the reast of the /. crew?

  5. katz's wordfulness on Messages From Democracy's Ghosts · · Score: 1

    If I read one more article from J.K. that is so full of meaningless words,I will hunt J.K. down and smother him with his own words,one by one.

  6. The working life on Aristotle, Dilbert And The Working Life · · Score: 1

    The working life is the the same everywhere.People feel relief through talking.For 22 years ,I was a first-line supervisor for abused children.I got relief by talking about diddly-squat.

  7. I'm tired of Katz on Flaming Freud: Analyzing Homo Incinerans · · Score: 1

    First of all,katz writes long,not-too-fascinating pieces for /.I liked his book better.I can't stand long,boring writing about something that's completely off-the-wall,like this piece.Flamers? Who the fuck cares?

  8. Unlisted Number on The Joys Of Big Business; or Why AT&T Long Distance Sux · · Score: 1

    The way to avoid telemarketers is simple.just have an unlisted number.Then you are subject to maybe one call a month from someone who has a computerized list.Of course, that means your friends can't call,either.Life is a 50/50 set-up.

  9. how's it different from taping music? on RIAA Responds to Napster - Raises Serious Questions · · Score: 1

    i have a rather large collection of music,which i have taped off the radio.how is downloading music different from taping music? i realize that most people don't know about tapes today, CD quality is what they expect, but how's it different? couldn't you burn onto CD without from radio?

  10. why do we still use gasoline? on Why Do We Still Use Gasoline? · · Score: 1

    i felt very proud of myself. i now use a power chair, or wheelchair powered by a computer run off a battery.then i got to thinking about the electricity that i plug my chair into at night.maybe it comes from a plant in ohio that burns coal, which is responsible for all the smog we have on east coast.i don't feel so good anymore.electric cars have to come from electric plants.i figure i'll heat my house by going deeper into the earth. it's resonably mild down there.

  11. teachers and computers on Are Computers in Classrooms Bad for Learning · · Score: 1

    nytimes.com this past week carried one sorry story, that the teachers for most part, were afraid of computers. they didn't know how to turn the damn things on.i was thinking, wouldn't it be great to teach progamming to little kids. sorry,most teachers are clueless about programming.the computer "labs" go unused in new york city. talk about "digital divide", not a problem, just pretend you don't see them---the computers,that is.i find all CD-ROM's thar are geared for little kids, to be anathema

  12. fun on Gateway Says Bug Affects 1GHz Thunderbird Systems · · Score: 1

    it's more fun for us non-geeks,reading the wacky posts. i often have absolutely no knowledge (all the time)but still slashdot is my favorite site.keep up the good work---who wants a serious site,anyway?
