  1. Re:Any info for Australians? on Lyrid Meteor Shower Arrives This Weekend · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Ask the Kangaroos. The Kangaroos know all.

  2. Sony - IMHO on New Sony DVDs Not Working In Some Players · · Score: 1

    Sony has not been a top brand in my eyes since their initial DRM issues. I have avoided them since and find their products to lack the quality they had a decade ago. There are quite a few respectable quality product companies out there that it is not worth risking possible headaches on Sony products, even if they are on a pallet at Costco for a low price.

  3. Convert your keyboard in less than 30 seconds on Is DVORAK Gaining Traction Among Coders? · · Score: 1

    It is actually quite easy to convert your keyboard to Dvorak with most operating systems in less than 30 seconds. Check out the following website: http://www.dvorak-keyboards.com/ Most OSes already support it with no additional software needed. Check out the following page on conversion: http://www.dvorak-keyboards.com/Change_qwerty_keyb oard_to_Dvorak_in_30_seconds.htm

  4. Re:Freaky monkeys on Scientists Map DNA of Rhesus Monkeys · · Score: 1

    Yes it is. I am surprised no one has brought up the fact that our blood types are based on the Rhesus factor/antigen. The positive or negative refers to blood carrying it or not. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhesus_blood_group_sy stem

  5. Re:nothing you can do about this on Woman's House Robbed After Fake Craigslist Post · · Score: 1

    I am also from Tacoma (several areas in fact) and I completely agree with this. Although better now days than in the past, Tacoma is not a place you keep your doors unlocked.

  6. Re:This isn't as bad as it sounds. on Woman's House Robbed After Fake Craigslist Post · · Score: 1

    Considering a woman took a sink with her, I don't think it matters if it was a rental or not.

  7. Re:Well if Dvorak doesn't like it... on Dvorak to Apple - Stop The iPhone · · Score: 1

    Riiight. I'll wait for his stated apology within the week.

  8. Re:Hmm on Mass Market DS Homebrew Cart Released · · Score: 1

    You are using some out-dated hardware. I suggest you take a look at the M3 Simply. It is Slot-1. Takes MicroSD, comes with a MicroSD USB adapter for loading games to the MicroSD, and has built in pass-key with no slot2 requirements whatsoever. I have a 1GB card and it has played every DS game I have tried. http://www.modchipstore.com/M3-DS-Simply-Slot-1-so lution-homebrew-backups-microsd-16418.html http://www.modchipman.com/m3-simply-ds-slot-p-1546 .html

  9. Re:FLOSS on Large FLOSS Study Gets the Real Facts · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I must also add that considering Free and Libre are synonymous having them slashed in an acronym is very poor and a sad attempt at an acronym resembling a word. Much like "ASS" - Acronym synonymous synonyms. At least Free Linux Open Source Software makes logical sense without trying to skate by for an acronym that sounds like a pronounceable word.

  10. Re:MOD PARENT DOWN on Large FLOSS Study Gets the Real Facts · · Score: 0, Redundant

    On the contrary. That is a loose description provided. There are a couple. http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?Acronym= floss&Find=find&string=exact

    Oh yeah, and first post. ;) P.S. Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLOSS

    For those that don't know, FLOSS stands for 'Free Linux Open Source Software'.

  14. Snowboarding2.com on When Your Site Ceases To Exist · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This has occurred with Snowboarding2.com as well. It use to offer a subdomain feature where snowboarders could create their own website. A spammer used a few subdomains and had cialis and other drug links placed to it all over the net. The subdomain service was ended a year ago and all of those subdomains have timed out for over a year as a result yet the site continues to be sandboxed by Google. A site that was on the first page of Google results since '99 is no where to be found. There is a difference between showing up on page 10 and being sandboxed completely. You can type in snowboarding2.com itself into Google and the website itself does not even show up. Google has been contacted several times regarding this and nothing has been done. A link campaign was also performed to overpass the amount of bad links with good links and that search term to no avail. With the recent Google update it is now a PR0 website when it was a PR5 for a very long time.

  15. Brain Bender on Wal-Mart Is Pushing Compact Fluorescent Bulbs · · Score: 1

    How would you do the three light, three switch brain bender without incandescent bulbs?! ;)

  16. Heat on Wal-Mart Is Pushing Compact Fluorescent Bulbs · · Score: 1

    Now I am starting to question the cost savings as well. Because of their inefficiency, incandescent bulbs do put out heat and that does lower my cost of using natural gas to heat my place.

  17. Right on Sony Says Nobody Will Ever Use All the Power of a PS3 · · Score: 1

    It is so powerful it can't even do backwards compatibility right without aliasing everywhere.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoCD9TwLrVs

    If it has so much power they can emulate a PS2 properly. I am doubtful it can deal with that overhead though.

  18. Problems on Physicists Promise Wireless Power · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This would bring an entirely new scale of issues. People getting arrested for wireless power theft would be cute.

    Heh, I am definitely on Slashdot. That is the hottest bit of writing I have heard here!

  20. Hmmmm Wrong. on AMD Unveils Barcelona Quad-Core Details · · Score: 2, Informative

  24. Re:Let the market decide on Fraud in Internet Dating Prompting Regulation · · Score: 1

    Meanwhile, Yahoo and "child safe" AOL both have scamming bots rampant in all their chat rooms and have done nothing about it. It is to the point that 95% of names in rooms are bot scripts scamming for people to join an adult or poker website to look at pics or gamble so the script kiddy can get a small commission 10,000 times over daily. Sites like http://www.bot-depot.com/ only make it more popular.
