  1. Internet War on The Myth of the Internet War · · Score: 2


    I've got to agree somewhat. To many of us, the Internet is the biggest and best source of news around; however, I'm sure >90% of the world rarely or never uses the Internet. Until a larger chunk of the population gets Internet access, (and I doubt it will reach TV levels anytime soon, too many couch potatoes) TV/radio will be the dominant news medium.

  2. Shredding Microshaft on IV Quickie Drip · · Score: 1


    Anyone use the Shredder on www.microsoft.com yet?
    I could do this for days! :-)

  3. quake: Thor's hammer on How Doom got its Name (from John Carmack interview) · · Score: 1

    YES!

    I thought I was the only one that remembered hearing about that! It sounded pretty kick ass, but I guess technical / time constraints made Quake was it is today.

  4. Socialism == Bad on National Phone in Sick Day? · · Score: 2


    Open Source software isn't socialism, as it is totally voluntary. No one is forcing you to pay taxes into some kind of 'software collective' which is then redistributed. People write Open Source because they enjoy it, not because they have to.

  5. Yeah, I need that Calvin sticker on Steaming Pile of Sunday Quickies · · Score: 1


    Wouldn't this fall under 'parody' of both Calvin
    & Hobbes and Microsoft? If so, US copyright law
    allows free use of their copyrighted material.
    Any copyright attorneys on /.?

  6. Printers with a webpage on Internet Printer Protocol · · Score: 1


    The QMS MagiColor 2 we have at work does this. Just point any browser to the printers IP, and a stats page comes up with toner levels, etc..

  7. Is cost a problem? on Ask Slashdot: Is there an Open PKI initiative? · · Score: 1


    I'm a Notary Public, and as far as I know this isn't a typical service that notaries offer. The legal infrastructure just isn't there in most states. I guess I could notorize a document containing your public key and signature, but its legal validity is questionable.

    However, if you need me to marry you to someone, give me a call! :-) [notaries can marry in ME, SC, and FL!]

  8. Microsoft keyboard on Ask Slashdot:Ergo Keyboards · · Score: 1


    Stay away from those funky microsoft egro keyboards. :)

  9. capitalism sucks on NSI closes top level Domain Servers · · Score: 1


    Last time I checked, New Zealand had one of the largest deregulated/privitized telecom industries in the world.

  10. Earth???? on Battle over earth.com · · Score: 1


    SUN anyone? :)
    Last time I checked they owned www.sun.com
