  1. hmm on Pulse Jet Go-kart · · Score: 1

    should we call the people who do the darwin awards, or do you think they'll find out about this on their own?

  2. yeah on The Jet Powered Beer Cooler · · Score: 1

    why do i get the feeling that this guy has overclocked his pentium II to run quicker than my brand new athlon?

  3. Re:i hope this works well on Technical FAQ for New Linux Users · · Score: 1
    it's not that big of a deal.. just goes to prove that there are idiots everywhere.. and that some people haven't emotionally grown since elementry school.

    the only thing anyone can do is just to try not to do the same thing to anyone else.

  4. i hope this works well on Technical FAQ for New Linux Users · · Score: 2
    I've been trying to move to linux for a few months now.. and I'm slowly getting used to it. I have problems with some of the interface, though.. I also know a lot of people in positions similar to me. I'll read the howto.. and I hope it will help me out.

    If it does, wouldn't it be a good idea to include this with any given Linux distribution? The how-to's included with Linux right now are good.. but sometimes they aren't good enough.. and they lack details that I have to spend hours searching for on the net. I honestly doubt that most people are willing to put in as much time as I'm going to.

  5. what? on ARIN IPv6 Allocation Policy · · Score: 5
    a link to an informative article.. no spelling errors.. no long rant about something no one is interested it..

    this can't be slashdot.. if it is.. i feel kind of betrayed..

  6. it won't destroy linux on Petreley on Ximian and Mono · · Score: 1
    because if it starts to make linux unsafe, or insecure, people will quit using it.

    we have a choice as to install it, or not. XP users won't. it's as simple as that.

  7. well on Dmitry Protests Running · · Score: 3
    That can't be legal

    you are in the US.. a country in which corporations gained legal personhood BEFORE Blacks, poor Whites, and Natives

    if adobe can't find a way to use the DCMA to quash the protests, they'll buy some new law that will give them a way..

  8. finally.. on PalmOS Emulation On PocketPC · · Score: 5
    the multimedia capabilities of Palm, combined with the stability, and speed of windows CE..

    if only love could be this sweet..

  9. come on on Pillars Underwater · · Score: 2
    everyone should know this is just another disney promotion.

    watch, in a week, disney will come out with some new toys for McDonalds toys.

  10. my only question.. on Antimatter Decay Rates Explain Existence Of Matter · · Score: 1

    if in fourteen billion years, the amount of antimatter in the universe has decayed to such a minimal level, then in fourteen billion more years, will the level of regular matter be at a similarily small level?

  11. encryption? on Court Finds Online Software License Not Binding · · Score: 1
    High encryption used to require a "browse-warp" liscence to acquire, because export restrictions limited the quality of the encryption that was allowed to leave the US.

    Since this makes the agreement people were forced to make, to not give the encryption software to anyone outside of the US, invalid, does this mean that the companies releasing the encryption software were not dilligent in preventing the encryption software from being released to countries outside the US, and are thus guilty of violating the export restriction?

  12. hmm on Casinos Hit the Data Jackpot · · Score: 4
    How long until safeway starts bragging about its 300Gb of data collected by its club cards?

    Reading things like this scare the shit out of me.. mostly because I know that if one company is admitting to something, another company has probably done ten times worse.

    you're lucky you're not on @home.. that'd be reason enough to cancel your service.

  15. linux in Japan on Software In The Land That Time Forgot · · Score: 1

    Does anyone have any numbers/statistics on Linux use in Japan?

  16. whoa! on Dept. of Defense Adopts StarOffice · · Score: 1
    Honestly I don't see this as being that huge of a deal, but it sure is getting submitted a lot.

    so, if i submit an MLM proposal a ton of times, they'll post it because of sheer volume?

  17. need? on Powerline Networks Finally Viable? · · Score: 1
    With cable quickly becoming the broadband of choice.. why would people need this?

    I can understand if you live in a rural area.. but satellite competition, which is also eyeing rural areas, would more that likely make this an unprofitable endevour.

    It's a good technology, but, unfortunately, it won't have a large market.

  18. Re:Intel is competing against AMD rather than itse on Tom's Looks At The New P-III · · Score: 1
    i wish i could have moderated this

  19. Re:books will stay on The Future Of The Book · · Score: 1
    insightful?

    maybe the fact that 2000 year old digital technology doesn't exist..

    i'm pretty sure that if you stored a book in .txt format, that in a thousand years we'd be able to open it up again.. even if the .txt format is dead.. we'd be able to figure out what it originally meant by decoding it.. it'd be the equivlent to finding an old book in a long-dead language..

  20. hey.. on Marvin Minsky: It's 2001. Where is HAL? · · Score: 2

    How many linux zealots would put up with Microsoft guys handing out CD's in front of or near a Linux booth?

    Oh, they'd hand them out all right.. they just wouldn't include the licence to install it.

  23. hmm on Paperweight or Computer? You Decide! · · Score: 2

    how long before apple sues them for making a cubic computer?

  24. what about spam? on A Diploma and an Email Account for Life · · Score: 1
    I regularly change email accounts, because spammers get ahold of my email address, and spam it over and over again. After a few months, even if i attempt to block people out, i get more spam than email.

    After a couple years, this email addie would be so laden with spam, that people would quit checking it, and move on.
