  1. extremely lazy tagger on Hektor: the Graffiti Robot · · Score: 1

    since when are taggers not lazy?

  2. Re:-1 Troll on Confessions of a Mac OS X User · · Score: 1

    If you could, there wouldn't be very many articles left!

  3. Plant flowers after the fact? on Genetically Modified Flower Detects Landmines · · Score: 1
    "Don't worry about the children. We can just plant these pretty flowers after the fact."

    And an enemy can plant them during the conflict and use the flowers as a countermeasure. I wonder how long it will be before North Korea gets some.

  4. Re:Hmm... on Avalanches Simulated With 500,000 Ping-Pong Balls · · Score: 1

    Yes, true, the mathematics are such that it's not much of a simulation, but damn that looks like fun.

  5. Scatter the seeds by plane. on Genetically Modified Flower Detects Landmines · · Score: 1

    Then watch them bloom.

  6. If you like technology... on Worst Cars Of All Time Rated · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If you like cars, Check out http://slashdot.org

    Slashdot is a *hilarious* and very informational do-it-yourself web-site that is available on any ISP.

    CmdrTaco and Hemos are great.

    They have all of their past articles in static .shtml formats - okay, so that kinda sucks, but otherwise, it's a great site.

    (Seriously, did you really think anyone didn't know about Car Talk?!)

  7. Re:Just Remember on Part of Patriot Act Ruled Unconstitutional · · Score: 3, Insightful
    Okay, Mr. Conservative News and Views, would you vote to uphold this odious bit of legal treason? Would you if it were signed by a Democratic President (as the DMCA was, for example)?

    Stand and be counted if you really think so.

  8. Super Bowl year refers to the previous season on Macintosh 2004 Case Mod · · Score: 1
    The 1983 Super Bowl (XVIII, Raiders 38, Redskins 9, Tampa, FL, then the worst blowout in Super Bowl History, MVP Marcus Allen) was in fact held in 1984. I remember distinctly seeing the 1984 ad and being quite impressed, even in the midst of my fury at the Skins for losing so badly.

    Super Bowls are customarily referred to by the year fo the season they follow, not the calendar year in which they are held.

    Maybe Apple will run a new ad in this year's Super Bowl? (I pick Pats to win but would love to see a Panther upset.)

  9. Re:Linux problems? on Build Your Own PVR · · Score: 1
    he wasn't really that experienced with Linux.

    You shouldn't have to be. His experience suggests that Linux is a pain in the ass. Maybe Linux developers ought to take note instead of flaming him.

  10. freak on Dcube: Portable Audio With Ogg And A Scroll Wheel · · Score: 1
    Howard Dean is a freak.

    that's why I'm voting for him!

  11. Howard Dean on Ogg on Dcube: Portable Audio With Ogg And A Scroll Wheel · · Score: 3, Funny

    We shall take Ogg Vorbis to New Hampshire! And South Carolina! And New Mexico! And California! And then we'll take it to Washington, DC! AND TAKE BACK THE IPODS AND WINAMP JUKEBOXES IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!

  12. "Ogg Vorbis" on Dcube: Portable Audio With Ogg And A Scroll Wheel · · Score: -1, Troll
    Now if only the people behind this free-Free-free audio format would just come up with a comprehensible fucking name, that would be something.

    I mean, come on. What the FUCK does "Ogg Vorbis" mean? Did they just pick random letters out of a hat?

  13. No on Mac OS X -- The Missing Manual, Panther Edition · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    But I do pay my annual $129 licensing fee to Steve because I love Apple so dearly.

  14. Re:Well I say... on Spammer Sentencing Guidelines · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily, they may have bought the "herbal v1agra" which does nothing.

  15. MOD PARENT UP on Seeking Good DHTML Debuggers? · · Score: 1

    Eight millionth post. Informative or not, truly a historic slashdot moment.

  16. Some people... on Northwest Gives Personal Data to NASA · · Score: 1, Funny

    just know how to spy.

  17. Re:It's the lying that hurts... on Northwest Gives Personal Data to NASA · · Score: 2, Funny

    So can we smack Northwest? Or lock them in their room all night without (economy class airliine) dinner?

  18. Re:Uh oh what is Apple going to call the new writa on HD DVD Coverage at CES 2004 · · Score: 1

    They will call it SuperDrive again. The current use of the name is their second - previously it was used for 1.44MB "HD" floppy drives (e.g. on Mac SE).

  19. Re:What they don't say on HD DVD Coverage at CES 2004 · · Score: 1

    No problem, the new one will be cracked too.

  20. Re:No, only 0.9094 TB on A Terabyte In A Cigar Box · · Score: 2, Funny

    Exactly. The real way to do it is to measure drives in songs. 40 GB = 10K songs, so that means 1 TB = approx. 250K songs. Minus Apple's DRM overhead.

  21. Re:No, only 0.9094 TB on A Terabyte In A Cigar Box · · Score: 1

    With the OS overhead and the ATM cell tax, yes.

  22. No, only 0.9094 TB on A Terabyte In A Cigar Box · · Score: 1, Informative
    They bought into Apple's fake-TB/GB/MB system:

    * 1 terabyte = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes

    In fact, 1 TB = 1024 bytes ^ 4 = 1099511627776 bytes. So you're being shortchanged by over 10%.

  23. Okay, so the guy likes OS 9 better. on Tog Takes on Mac OS X 10.3 · · Score: 0, Insightful

    I don't.

  24. That's great!! on Red Hat will give eCos Copyrights to the FSF! · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    I really like the new trend! Of exclamation marks (!) with slashdot stories!

    It makes them seem almost important!!

  25. I dunno man on When Geeks Go Camping · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Chaos Communication Camp sounded more fun. Wish I could have made it.
