  1. English Teachers... on Higher Pay for Math and Science Teachers · · Score: -1

    I demand higher pay for English teachers! If a student can't communicate an idea effectively, does it really matter how well they score in math/science? ;alskdfjl;askdjfa;sdlkfj

  3. talk about stupid... on Roxio To Concentrate on Online Music Business · · Score: -1

    i guess upper-management has their head's so far up their asses that they can't see how stupid their plan to continue on as a ressurected and should have been dead a long time ago napster. fucking morons.

    is a college degree from an accredited university.

  5. those bastards can't read on AOL Sued For Over-Zealous Blocking · · Score: 0, Interesting

    I like AOL's inability to read email about how they are blocking legitimate emails from people. One of the things AOL is doing is blocking anyone with a Business Class DSL line from SBC and runs their own mail server and calling them residential or telling them that they need to use AOL's servers. I changed some of the email addresses so you could see an actual dialogue between me and AOL's abuse group. I have more, but those would just make you laugh. You should have heard the phone calls.

  6. Wow! on Joe Clark's Answers -- In Valid XHTML · · Score: 5, Insightful

    He actually took the time to fix our spelling and grammar and Rob says "Whatever", not even a bit of thanks. Why not work on that extra-special spell check feature so many have been begging for?

  7. Re:For more cool Microwave science... on A Foundry in Every Kitchen · · Score: -1

    It takes a lowly 3 seconds before the "CD light show". Nuke em on high for 3 seconds and look at the beautiful coaster you have made. Ignore the smell though.

  8. broadband. on The Practical SQL Handbook: Using SQL Variants (4th ed.) · · Score: -1

    One thing that did turn me off is the inclusion of a CD-ROM. The CD has a copy of Sybase for the user to work with. I don't need to explain that the internet is a superior place to put such things.
    Not Everyone has a broadband connection. So the inclusion of programs helps those users.

  9. hands free surfing... on Think And Click · · Score: -1

    now i don't have click on those damn images to go to the next one. a truly hands free experience, well my hands will be somewhere else that's more more shall we say exciting.

    The Final Word (4:44) K. Vanderhoof / M. Howe
    By Metal Church

    Why don't you find a worthwhile cause to channel your energies?
    Like finding a solution to starvation and disease
    I know that you're concerned about your First Ammendment rights
    But don't you burn our flag to make your point, that's just not right
    If you think you're better off in a different country
    Why don't you pack your bags right now
    Here's your ticket
    It's on me

    I've been around this whole wide world and found no better place
    And no one's gonna start a fire in my homeland's face
    We have a tendency to take our freedom for granted
    We have some problems, yes I know
    Look at the seed you've planted

    I know that you're aching to be heard
    What gives you the famous final word?
    To think that your opinion is preferred
    What gives you the famous final word?

    What other country do you know that pays you without work?
    When you need some money, see your welfare officer
    There's a lot of other things that you could take a stand about
    So you and your activists can take the next train out

    I know that you're aching to be heard
    What gives you the famous final word?
    To think that your opinion is preferred
    What gives you the famous final word?

    Freedom of speech out of hand
    Demonstations in the land
    If you complain a little more
    What rights you have left
    Go flying out the door

    Why don't you find a worthwhile cause to channel your energies?
    Like finding a solution to starvation and disease
    With all the problems in this world that are facing us today
    We need a concentrated push or in the long run we'll all pay

  11. amusing on Mozilla's 100,000th Bug · · Score: -1

    Didn't windows 2k get published with something like 64k bugs? And mozzilla which is just a web browser already has 100k? Doesn't that just tell ya something?

  12. windows... on Remote Breathalyzer · · Score: -1

    wonder what happens if the windows are down. and then, what if i am picked up for drunk driving, because I have a drunk compatriot with me? guess they never heard of picking up a drunk roomate, or friend before.

  13. how long.... on Slashdot Prepares Switcheroo · · Score: -1

    Its amazing what gets slashdotted..

  15. adult entertainment on This Book Will Self-Destruct In 10 Hours · · Score: -1

    i can only envision the uses for porn.

  16. play the game on Do-It-Yourself "Dungeons and Dragons" Film Review · · Score: 3

    first off you have to have played the game in order to understand the movie. This movie is not a theatrical masterpiece, because the subject matter is somewhat tongue-in-cheek.
    then you have to deal with a first time director. the director secured the movie rights when he was 19 (ten years ago) and he was coerced into directing the movie because of how diligent he was in getting the movie done in the first place.
    third, you have a bunchy of whiners that go into the movie expecting perfection or the best cgi ever, but forget that the entire movie was only done on a budget of $35 million.
    forthly, people also lambasted star wars episode one for its campiness, but forget that its more a childrens movie than a serious movie for adults. just because the reviewer has no grasp of the subject matter doesn't always mean that he knows what is best for the rest of the populace.

    remember you can't be serious when you see this movie. take it for what it is, a table top game with all of its over the top antics turned into a movie.

    i would write out my entire diatribe, but this will remain modded down to -1, like all my nice comments....bah...slashdot moderators suck!

  17. and? on BugTraq No Longer Able To Publish MS Security UPDATED · · Score: 1

    That's just security bulletins. Near the bottom of those messages Microsoft even puts a disclaimer about redistributing them. This is not going to prevent BugTraq from annouing bugs or security "features" on their mailing lists. Microsoft probably wants more people to subscribe to their security bulletins and get the information directly from them and not a third party.

  18. Katz is cool! on Analysis: The Rise Of Open Media · · Score: 1

    I wish i could smoke as much crack is Katz. The inane ramblings of a mad man that doesn't ever see the sun or have any idea what he is talking about impresses me. Congrats Katz, keep that crack pipe lit.

  19. Flame Bait on Linux Now Supports Ultra ATA/100 · · Score: 1

    stupid question but what technologies has linux beaten M$ with? KDE, Gnome...oh yea that all important ATA 100 standard...can it even be called a standard yet??? yea yea yea, but with out M$ creating their little monopoly and making PCs essentially easy to use and idiot boxes, then none of you would have a friggin computer. I actually have no preference in OS, I have used almost all of them, still a few thousand more linux distros to go through, but hey i got time. moderate my ass down again to troll, but that's what's to be expected from a bunch of elitists that don't even give credit where credit is due. i hate m$, i hate redhat, i hate suse, i hate em all...why because they all have their own intricate problems, either it be bsod, core dumps or whatever...

  20. bah on The MP3 Troubles Continue · · Score: 1

    the media and record companies will forget about mp3's within a few months, either that or they will find a way to distribute them on their own. the media is just bored because there are no good wars to report about for now.

  21. Incentive Programs on Universal Access · · Score: 1

    People shouldn't be blowing this out of proportion like it actually is a life changing event. Its a marketing ploy by the companies. Remember perks are just there to attract prospective employees and retain some.

    Who wouldn't want a new computer or some other toy from a company just for working there? I heard a short time ago that Best Buy also gave all of their employees $400 just for working there (might have just been the store near my house). That doesn't mean I am going to go to work there, but I thought it was a nice incentive to work at a company.

    Just because you get a lot of cool incentives from a company doesn't mean you are happy in your job. Now those of you that get tons of incentives are you happy at your job or do you just like all the cool toys you get?

    I do have to give the companies credit for getting themselves some positive press. Hell I might even apply at one of those companies one day for some cool perks.
