  1. Alot of great applications besides for lazy people on Review of Hands Free Mouse · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If anyone here has worked in heavy manfg. or industry where you need to use a computer on the shop floor or at a workstation on a shop floor you'll know how quickly a mouse will die, I can see a thousand diffrent applications besides the use for "lazy people".

  2. Too bad... on Government Internet Surveillance Up · · Score: 1

    That most people don't realize that the canadian goverment has been spying on it's own citizen's all the time. On top of that if you watch TV here you'll see the "pirated" TV channels with content stripped out "to protect" canadian identity.

  3. Re:IP's to watch for! on Government Internet Surveillance Up · · Score: 1

    Note that slashdot also broke the URL. Watch for the spaces.

    Between .hacke rz. & .use netserver.com they should look like .hackerz. & .usenetserver.com

    Enjoy, note that more information is available via google.

  5. Re:Java's been crashing IE of late on Don't Hit That Back Button · · Score: 1

    Are you sure it's IE and not some type of scum ware that's crashing your browser? 3 diffrent machines running IE 4, 5, and 6 here at my home run the site fine. I would wager it's your machine that has a problem somewhere.

  6. Pretty intresting... on Don't Hit That Back Button · · Score: 1

    But it shows a definate flaw in the design of the browser. The source of the HTML has some intresting stuff in it as well...though I am surpised that this applies to all versions of IE. I suppose this comes down to IE executing scripts outside of the sandbox huh? Pretty simple to fix, disable all java script.

    Please note that I'm not responsible if that breaks websites.

  7. Re:Tried to take a breath in a city lately? on Goodbye Global Warming!...Hello Terraforming? · · Score: 1

    Yeah...actually I have, I live in one of the heaviest and most industrialized area's of SWO. And even that it's not CO2, it's sulphiric acid, and ozone.

    Please learn what you are talking about. Lather, rinse, repeat.

  8. Do I need to repeat myself? CO2 comment... on Goodbye Global Warming!...Hello Terraforming? · · Score: 1

    Yes apparently I do. Cars and trucks DO NOT prodcudce 1/2 the CO2 in the world. What people produce is an insignifigant ammount compared to the volcano's and other natural releases in the world.

    Now other things like sulphiric acid, carbon monoxide and such can do nasty things. Hell we don't even *know* if what is going on in the world is natural or un-natural. I mean, the reason the ice shelfs in the antartic are melting is because the antartic continent is heating up.

    Science is only as good until a new theory comes out.

  9. Beware of the hackers! on Streaming RealAudio From a Commodore 64 · · Score: 0, Troll

    Don't goto their website, they'll go on IRC and steal your credit card data. While they are at it, they'll nuke your HDD, and smack you like a wet rag.

  10. I would have figured this would be ovious by now.. on British Broadband (Finally) Jumps · · Score: 1

    If you charge too much, people will not buy. If you have insane or innane intrest rates people will not buy. Look at the stuff with the intrest rates, freebee's, ect on cars? I mean sales took off, people will buy when they think they are getting a good deal, or if they NEED it. Otherwise, it's a luxtury item and they don't need it.

  11. What do you mean start? on Connecticut To Store Biometric Information · · Score: 1

    The police and goverment already do...thou not in an offical capacity.

  12. Pretty intresting isn't it? on Sunken City Found Off Of India · · Score: 1

    I mean, here we are finding sunken cities and all, where people though they didn't exist and people who said they existed were considered crazy. I mean come on, use common sense people. The earth *has* gone though catistropic geologic changes before.

    I'm actually surpised that the main stream media is just catching on, this has been in the lesser publications for atleast a year or more. Hell it was even on art bell awhile back.

    Just remeber that what you think you know, it's always what you know for sure.

  13. michael...great...just what we need... on Time Travel · · Score: 1

    Some slashdot nutjob that doesn't understand by the current law of physic's this can happen. To make it simple, you need two things. A super hi-energy power source, and a strong gravitational field. And poof...you have a time machine. Note that it's easy to go forwards in time...ofcourse the question then you have to ask is...the future that you are in is the true future? Or one of several possible futures? Going backwards in time, requires something else though.

  14. OH NO SEX! on CIPA Trial Comes to a Close · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who sees that this is just stupid? I mean, sex is natrual for most people. Some people ofcouse it doesn't apply to but, I digress...should *we* protect kids from something that they should learn in school, that is important to learn about. I mean, come on...in my home county(no country) we have the largest number of teen pregancies and highest number of STD's in teens then anywhere around. The majority are catholic school girls, where the schools don't teach sex-ed. But...this also blocks other importan sites like medical information, information on sex ed, breast cancer ect.

    This may be modded off-topic and this would be fair, but it still falls in line. That if someone sees something...their more likly to ask "who what when where why and how", then to get knocked up and screwed over with some STD. Or wonder out into the "great big world", like a doe in headlights.

  15. EULA!=Consent on Distributed Computing Program Hidden in Kazaa · · Score: 1

    This has been proven in court over and over. Check past slashdot stories on this and you'll see what I'm talking about.

  16. It's called a "buffer" on Sony Intentionally Crashes Customers' Computers · · Score: 1

    and in finishing;
    Overflow

    I seem to remeber linux and serveral other OS's recently having problems with this. Though via diffrent programs.

  17. Reminds me of the "Radio Tax" on Web Radio and the RIAA · · Score: 1

    I think this is obvious it's a simple money grab. You can search for historical and current referances to countries that have a radio tax via google.

    And just to note, this isn't the same as a sales tax, this is a tax on a tax, with a yearly fee. Sound familiar?

  18. Re:The obvious problem is... on Weirdest Case Mod You've Ever Seen · · Score: 1

    I dunno about you but I don't do anything in my attic. You know it's cold and full of insolation in there. And if I tried to stand up I'd either smash my head off a rafter or stab myself to death with nails. Basements are out of the question since my house doesn't have a basement, or whatever they call those thing in the modern houses half basements? So that leaves us people that have sunlight in our lives, yes I know...it burns and it sometimes hurts but all in all it's good on occasion. So...that means for us people who are exposed to sunlight, that mod idea is just bad. But actually that stuff breaks down with heat as well. And computers can get pretty warm.

  19. The solution to the "fire problem" on Leaked FEMA/ASCE Draft Report On WTC Collapse · · Score: 2, Informative

    And with my idea if anyone can implment it, then hell that's great and all the power to you. I lost one of my best friends at the WTC, they just recovered his body a few days ago. Anyway, the fire was the problem the building design itself from an architechtual standpoint was brilliant.

    Therefore, to solve the problems with the fire we need a fuel that will either burn very very slow when NOT under pressure, or not burn at all unless it's under pressre, ala + 350-450psi.

    Slam a jet into the building and you'll have a fire that burns very slowly or no fire at all. And as I said, if someone can make this happen then I'll be happy for you. You'll save some lives.

  20. The obvious problem is... on Weirdest Case Mod You've Ever Seen · · Score: 1

    That this that "foam" builds up static electricty really really easy. It also starts to break down into a fine yellow powder after 3 or 4 years. Trust me, I've worked with the crap enough. It doesn't handle vibration well, and any type of "hard" impact will transfer the energy directly to the components. But that much is obvious.

    That stuff is also a great retainer of heat, they use it as a stop gap measure in houses where the insolation "doesn't quite fit". All in all it's good for houses, bad for computers.

  21. Too bad that this doesn't prove... on Slashback: Bnetd, Salmon, Towers · · Score: 1

    that global warming isn't a farce or not. Unfortunatly 15 years of recorded data, and 100 years of written records along with a few hundred thousand or even a couple of million years doesn't tell us that if this is natural or unnatural. The thing is...and the big point is...that no one really seems to be getting is the earth is 4 billions maybe as old as 6 billion years or even older, but this could be a natural cycle. But compareing human emssions to the ammount of CO2 and CO, along with sulphurous compounds naturaly produced is a crock.

    But I suppose we'll see if this is natural or not, just remeber though you can go from this weather to an ice age in 10 years.

  22. MS, SUN, ect. will be next... on Kazaa Conundrum -- The Plot Thickens · · Score: 1

    No they will, see without them...they wouldn't have written the languages or programs that allowed the people to program to access or create the ports for the "piracy" software to work. Next, they'll go after WSFTP for creating the FTP software that access the illigal warez sites, and then MIRC for being one of the fist programs to use DCC conections for transfering files.

    On and on and on and on...I think you get the idea. Tell me it isn't plausible.

  23. Well just remeber... on The Rise of CSI · · Score: 1

    It's not the voltage that will kill you, it's the amperage.

    And while yes the science in the show really stinks sometimes...it's better than some shows on TV and worse then others. Atleast it hasn't turned into a sitcom yet.

    *shudder*

    Would have a police man standing behind me all the time watching what I do. In truth, they can go screw themselfs. If I have to, I'll contine to use my old hardware, after all I do have the right to fair-use. Lets hope that the MPAA/RIAA and their related cronies get their ass cut off. And prehaps handed back to them.
