  1. i don't need to be aggressive on Video Games Boost Visual Skills · · Score: 1

    everyone thinks I am in an unmarked olice car anyway, they just get out of my way, and I've gone up to 150kph many times without getting caught.

  2. I can tell what's not... on What Website has the Cleanest Site Design? · · Score: 1

    www.icq.com

    *shudder* I still can't navigate thru that place.

  3. oh man... on RIAA Nightmare: Pro-level Portable Hard Disk Recorder · · Score: 1

    I'm still waiting for consumer vinyl recorders. when will people realise the superior sound of vinyl?

  4. Re:Where's the coke can? on 60G Nomad Zen vs. The iPod · · Score: 1

    yeah but I think a more approporiate reference is a packet of cigarettes

  5. HEPA filters on An Affordable Air Purifier For Dusty Computer Labs? · · Score: 4, Informative

    That's what you need. I work in a cleanroom making IV infusions and we have HEPA filters in the ceilings of the clean rooms. Of course we have HEPA filters else where as well, but it start with the room. That's the expensive option. The next best would be a Dyson vaccum cleaner with a HEPA filter to really suck up all the dust out of your lab.

  6. For people who don't know on "Case Modding" a Nissan Sentra · · Score: 1

    Oh my god, the Catheram Superlight R500. It has a lowish top speed but the acceleration just emabarrasses any Ferrari and even the Lamborhini Mercialago, let alone any ricer. In fact it can do the quartermile in half the time an WRX STI can. The only thing I see that can out accelerate it is a Porsche Carrera GT2.

  7. is it safe? on Run For Cover; It's Mozilla 1.4 Alpha · · Score: 1

    uh...would you suggest I use this version to do my internet banking?

  8. My system on New Windows Worm Inching Around Internet · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I can't say I keep a high security for my computer as I should (and I really should...to much pr0n to lose), but for internet banking, really important stuff online, I have a pretty foolproof system.

    What I do is I take the name of someone I know for every month of the year. I associate a date with them, like birthday, day i met them etc. Sounds stupid so far, but here's what I do next

    I then associate the date with the current year and decide how to mess about with the numbers. Do i just take the date at face value, or do I use date seperatrs / . and - in some sort of combination and use them as mathematical operators to generate a number? What ever I decide to do I convert the number into hex (because some passwords require numbers) and then attach it to the name of the person concerned in what ever way I choose and voila, password generated. Keeo in mind that if you use the same combination of operators when the year changes, you password is not going to change a hell of a lot for corresponding months between the years

    The beauty is I've told you my system and you can't figure out any of my passwords. Better yet, you don't actually need to remember your passwords, more likely you just need to remember the mathematical operators because names and birthdays should come off the otop of your head. I can't remember my slashdot password though, I chose that before my system. Thank goodness for cookies.

  9. Re:Why NewCard?-New case designs? on Intel To Redesign PC With "Grantsdale" Chip · · Score: 1

    yeah I want a PC in the shape of a stegasaurus so I can slot my PCI cards like spines and have power and HDD LEDs for the eyes.

    okay then I want a 120 Library of Congress sized hard drive. That's still not very big then huh?

  12. Dear zugok 1985 on Advice You Would Give to Your 12 Year-Old Self? · · Score: 1

    listen to your parents, they may talk a load of crock a lot of the time, but occassionally they do say something intelligent,

    have confidence in yourself, you'll feel better for it,

    you will have may good friends, treasure them,
    finally

    when you are 29 and you get Anna pregnant, protect you unborn child of yours and then dump that whore mother before she breaks you soul.

  13. well you know why don't you? on First HDD MPEG4 Video Camcorder · · Score: 1

    The downside is the HDD size is 1.5 Gig so you can record video just over an hour! ... Is there a corporate conspiracy to limit recording time of camcorder to about an hour (like DVD-R camcorders)?

    it's so that you can't take a recording of a full movie with it at the cinema!

  14. me thinks... on Hundreds Spot Fireballs In Colorado, Nearby States · · Score: 1

    remember the guy with the sodium, yeah I think that's him...

  15. Re:Makes sense on Ghost In The Shell TV Series · · Score: 1

    Something worth a mention about, Akira and Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind, was that the manga was far from being complete when the anime was made. In addition these are multi volume books as well. Akira, six, and if I recall, Nausicaa seven or eight.

    The same could not be said of Ghost in the Shell. Could the GiTS anime faithfully follow the manga, possibly, but even still would be looking at a two movies.

  16. henchjobs on Got Evil? Buy it Here! · · Score: 3, Funny

    Damn it, none of the links would work in the henchjobs section. That sucks. Just when I got used to entering my resume online to all this recruitment agencies.

    I am a rocket scientist you know.

  17. Re:How long until New Scientist... on Table Top Fusion Courtesy of Tiny Bubbles · · Score: 1

    New Sceintist covered this on April 29, 1996. Cover story.



    This hardly new news to me, though I can't remeber what was said in New Scientist, perhaps there have been advances since then.

  18. Re:Yes! Phillips rocks. on Philips Says Compact Discs Can't be Copyprotected · · Score: 1

    I have, the DVD711BK in New Zealand, multi-region from the factory.

  19. Re:Five more? on Budget Satellite · · Score: 1

    Well I was thinking that too, but then I though perhaps Boeing gave them the $250,000 *after* the prototype was built.

    But hey, what's 5 or 6 if Boeing only said you could make make one out of $250,000.

  20. Re:You can tune a banjo.. on Slashdot Prepares Switcheroo · · Score: 1

    and I hae some idiot singing Green Acres at work every single friggin day! Even worse, she doesn't know the words to it, and just substitutes events from daily work life. Now that is nuts

  21. Re:British Beer! on The Jet Powered Beer Cooler · · Score: 1

    yeah Lion Red or Speights, but Lion sponsor that gawd awful 'fake' rugby game though.

  22. Re:Maybe By Then... on Xbox, GameCube Dates Set For Early November · · Score: 1

    PS2 shortage in NZ was well and truly over when it was released. Recommended retail was an obscene NZ$1000 or US$400. I have not seen one PS2 retailer in NZ who has said they were out of stock. Me, well I got one for NZ$750 (or US$300) duty free, and including a 5% discount. I got a deal by NZ standards :)

  23. Re:watching vidoes 5 minuts at a time? on DVDs On The International Space Station · · Score: 1

    and you would expect a 110V 60Hz DVD machine to output in NTSC. There are Region 2 (Japan) and Region 4 (I forget which countries) which also run on NTSC, and therefore also run on 110V 60Hz. I live in a Region 4 zone, and although most of our DVD players are in fact multizone from the manufacturer or distributer, the few that are just Region 4 have multiple PAL and NTSC playback.

  24. Re:Several Players? on DVDs On The International Space Station · · Score: 1

    most of the pr0n I have seen is region 0. Reason, I don't know, but I assume it is because the volume produced is a lot different to the Hollywood stuff, and that pr0n is not constrained to an international release schedule.

  25. Re:Syracuse Language Software on Foreign Language Education Software For Linux? · · Score: 1

    yeah I got Tripleplay Plus French (I think it's called Smart Start now or something lke that), but it came as a freebie with a magazine, and no instructions. The entire disk was in French, which adds to the immersion I guess, but like you say, it is cute. I only wish it was the German version.
