  1. Re:Even the little candidates can play... on Political Yard Sign Wars Wage as Election Nears · · Score: 1

    Any candidate that posts on Slashdot is someone worth considering. I don't live in your state, but good luck to you Tom.

  2. Re:message was real... on SETI Researcher Quashes Signal Rumors · · Score: 1
    I never got around to begging for one, but it would be cool to have.

    If you still have a spare can you please send it to: gmail at aquadan dot com ?
    Thanks.
    (If you're ever in Toronto, I'll buy you a beer)

  4. TidBits! on Mailing Lists for Techies? · · Score: 2, Informative
  5. Spinning CD could take someones head off on Homemade CD Shooter? · · Score: 3, Funny

    If that thing got up enough speed, could slice clear through the neck, and head would roll. Probably not such a good idea. (Although if anyone builds it, please post video ;-)

  6. Re:No. on Best Buy Says Customers Not Always Right · · Score: 1

    I never put any money in. My employer does. I only take money out.

  7. Re:Is this really that bad? on Military on Alert for Killer Coke Cans · · Score: 1

    If all they have is Coke they will die of thirst anyway, since the body uses more water to process the sugar in the Coke then it gets from it.

  8. Re:Article Text on DirecTV Extortion Program stopped by EFF · · Score: 1

    Its not Slashdotted, but Akamai is down today, so many of us on the east coast can't reach it. (Anyone know the IP address?)

  9. Re:Correction on File Sharing Increases CD Sales · · Score: 1

    What happens if they are returned, unsold? Do they take away the platinum?

  10. Re:How about this. on U.S. Plans Targeted Draft for Computer Personnel · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The British all have health care, decent education, and they gave us the Beatles. Maybe its not so bad?

  11. Re:I'm hoping Dawn of the Dead wins next year on Lord Of The Rings - Oscars, We Loves Them · · Score: 1

    I'm going to see Dawn of the Dead, but not because I like that kind of movie, but only because it was filmed 5 minutes from where I live, in the shopping mall I used to hang out in as a kid. (Thornhill Square, near Toronto)

  12. Re:it's not real money to Darl on SCO Offers $250K Bounty for MyDoom Author's Arrest · · Score: 1

    The reason they can afford to offer the reward is because they know the perp will never be caught. And the only way that they can know that is if they created it themselves!

  13. MacAlly / PCAlly makes really good stuff on Wireless Keyboard w/o a Wireless Mouse? · · Score: 1

    Check out the wireless keyboards (and mouses sold separately) by MacAlly and their partners in crime PCAlly. Both make high quality peripherals.

    Its time to get drunk and switch to metric? Here's hoping Congress finally does...

  17. Re:mod parent up - scary! on Virginia Arrests Man For Spamming · · Score: 1
    If you got searched on the way in by the Canadian guards, they just would have asked that you share some with them ;-)

    If you were searched on the way back by American guards, you'd be looking at 25 to life.

  18. If you're in Canada... on Finding Holiday Discounts on iPods? · · Score: 1

    I'll sell a new 20GB iPod for CDN$545 (Regular price: CDN$575) Call me at 1-800-603-8966 x6230. We have lots in stock.

  19. Re:What about toxicity? on Batteries Continue To Suck · · Score: 1

    Did it ever occur to you that all that energy you put out by pedaling your way to work could also power the lights on your wheels?

  20. Re:Speaking of routers... on Belkin To Offer Firmware Fix For Router Hijacking · · Score: 1
    I've tried 4 different brands, and I keep coming back to SMC. Check out the SMC2804WBRP-G Everything you need in a router: Wireless, 802.11g, 4 ports, Print server...

    Picture the US Government getting too powerful, and the people rising up with their handguns and rebelling. Got that picture in your mind? Good. Now picture the US Government crushing any rebellion like a squashed bug under your boot.

    The government has nukes, we have Colt .45s. The American people are way too lazy and stupid to ever try to overthrow this government. All this talk of keeping our guns in case the government gets out of hand is pure bullshit.

    (BTW, if the current Ashcroftian regime isn't out of hand, I don't know what is. Where are all the gun-totin', card-carrying NRA members who are supposed to be defending our rights against this government? Or are they ok because as long as the 2nd amendment is protected, they don't really care about the other ones?)

    You are making uninformed assumptions.
