  1. One Billion-Kagillion Dollars on RIAA Seeks Estimated $97.8 Billion From MTU Student · · Score: 4, Funny

    But Dr. Evil, that kind of money doesn't exist in 2003!!!

    Think about it...the dictionary spammers have not gotten as far as sramasubramanian@hotmail.com

    The author leaves some very important questions unanswered...

    How many megapixels is the Gameboy SP?

    I'll need the answers to those questions to make an informed decision.

    Fantastic! Now even when Weather.com is down I can still see what the weather is like without having to expose by pasty white skin to the elements.

  7. Ozzies on Mixing the Unmixable · · Score: 1

    This is the biggest scientific discovery to come out of Australia since Yahoo Serious discovered how to give beer a nice head and invented rock n' roll!

  8. FTP vs HTTP on FTP: Better Than HTTP, Or Obsolete? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I run into this dilemna constantly. I've found that HTTP is more reliable for downloads for intranet applications. When I build something in VB I try to use FTP, because I have better control of what's going on. For file uploads, of course, FTP is definitely the way to go. As for speed, I think FTP is technically faster, but HTTP throught the browser has the added bonus of showing you how much time is left on the download, making it SEEM to go faster. Basically, if the file is something that doesn't need to be secure, I'd use HTTP if speed isn't an issue (ie: intranet only or broadband connections mostly), otherwise, I'd go with FTP.

    And chunks of it are now on sale at Ned Flander's Leftorium.

    Fan-diddly-tastic!

    13.7 billion years old, flat, 4.4% baryons, 22% dark matter and 73% dark energy

    Except for the age part, that sounds a lot like my ex-girlfriend.

    Happy Valentines Day everybody!

  11. Old Joke on Castle Technology UK Ripping off Kernel Code? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Why don't Brits write their own OS?

    cool, wanna go out sometime?

  13. Wow! on Tetris AI System · · Score: 5, Funny

    Man, I almost went blind reading that.

    On the other hand,

    if a chicken and half lays an egg and a half every day and a half, then how long does it take a monkey with a wooden leg to kick all of the seeds out of a dill pickle?

  18. ID:4 on Another Stab At Internet Access By Satellite · · Score: 5, Funny

    But what about the alien threat that was presented in the Hollywood blockbusted Independence Day? Since alien's run MacOS-compatible systems and communicate using a protocol extactly similiar to our TCP/IP, this system, if put into place, would give them the last piece of the puzzle needed to blow up the White House! I urge Echostar to think of the children for Christ's sake!

  19. Star Wars on Boeing Bird of Prey Stealth Fighter · · Score: 0

    This will come in handy when it comes time to deal with those pesky tie fighters

  20. <CFINCLUDE TEMPLATE="dsp_fuseboxSucks.cfm"> on ColdFusion Programming Methodologies? · · Score: 0

    I'm being forced to develop a LARGE scale app using Fusebox. I've been programming CF for a little over five years now and developed my own standard I called "pseudobox" because it implemented the GOOD qualities of fusebox and left room to be creative. I hate the fact everything has to fall under dsp, act, qry, etc. In the app I'm building right now, that's not enough. And I don't like the fact that I have to post the form action a fuseAction to the index.cfm file...why can't a form just post to itself? I've worked at a lot of different types of software houses in the past that consisted of mainly knowledgeable web developers and we all agreed that fusebox is most definitely not the way to go...too bad the morons in management at my new place don't share the same opinion.

  24. Offtopic? on California Tracks Everyone Using Toll Transponders · · Score: 0

    Getting moderated on Slashdot is harder than solving the turing puzzle.

  25. FastTrak on California Tracks Everyone Using Toll Transponders · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    You would actually have to put it in the mylar bag, not just the glove comparment.

    I'll keep that in mind next time I drive from Marin to SF to kill someone.

    But a $5 bridge toll would leave less money for bullets.
