  1. Re:Part of me says, "Good!" on Employee Outsourced Programming Job To China, Spent Days Websurfing · · Score: 5, Funny

    it's programmers all the way down

  2. Re:The newscaster's commentary made my brain bleed on Thieves Clear Out NJ Apple Store In 31 Seconds · · Score: 1

    thanks for getting the joke

  3. Re:Nothing new for Cisco on Cisco To Buy Jabber · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think Cisco's entire marketing strategy is to buy out companies of products they wish they had and then rebrand and sell them.

    Can I replace Chambers as the CEO?

    Cisco's done that along. pretty much every product line besides routers has been an acquisition

  4. Re:Whiskey Tango Foxtrot on One Failed NIC Strands 20,000 At LAX · · Score: 1

    Whoops. Spanning Tree Protocol exists to prevent this problem. If those HP Switches had it configured, they would have blocked one of the looped ports, and problem solved.

  5. Re:Can we run servers yet? on Comcast Raises Bandwidth in Shot at DSL · · Score: 1

    I work for a DSL provider for the delaware/philly/NJ area, and we allow servers, give 5 static IPs, and don't block any ports. as long as your not doing anything illeagal, theres no problem. not all ISPs are evil

  6. Re:I suppose.. on Philadelphia Considers Free Citywide Wireless Access · · Score: 1

    just for the record, there is no 14th street in philly. what would be 14th is Broad Street

  7. Re:new imac on Apple Introduces New G5 iMac · · Score: 1

    there are different tv standards for different countries(pal/ntsc). they would need different imacs for different standards. too much confusion

  8. Re:Even More Interesting on Federal Reserve To Use Internet For Money Transfer · · Score: 1

    i think its something like 2/3 of the money in the US does not exist in paper form. a LOT of money exists as only 1's and 0's

  9. Re:Is it illegal? on Obtaining Legal MP3s Outside of the U.S.? · · Score: 1

    in the US, it is not. when you buy an album, you are buying the right to listen to that music. That is why it is legal to record songs/shows off radio/tv. The same fair use law applies to mp3s, regardless of what the RIAA would have you believe

  10. Re:Not good enough on Echostar/Dish Network Pulls Viacom Channels · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Comedy Central is advertising this conflict too. basically it amounted to "if you have friends who use Dish Network, expect them at your house a lot more often now, for their daily comedy needs" at the end it said" Comedy Central:" available ONLY on Cable and Directtv

  11. Re:A better solution... on Comcast Cuts Infected PCs' Network Connections · · Score: 1

    that what Drexel does. any new machine to the network is on a quarantined subnet which only has access to windowsupdate and AV software. Once you are cool, you need to register your jack #, dorm #, phone. pretty painless, and seems to work pretty well

  12. Re:So? And Request for Opinions on AT&T Wirele on AT&T Wireless Phone "Upgrades" Aren't · · Score: 1

    i would go to tmobile. i just switched from ATT gsm in Philadelphia, and the difference is amazing. At my parents house, I went from only getting a signal on the windowsill, to getting a signal everywhere. I have not yet had a coverage problem in this area, other than being in deep basements, subways, etc. ATT's coverage stinks. It may increase if the cingular merger goes through, but thats a few years off.

  13. Re:Free? on The Universal Card · · Score: 1

    there are illeagal immigrants everywhere earning welfare, getting drivers licenses. I'd say this qualifies as a free government service

  14. Re:1000 DVDs? on Suggestions for a DVD Video on Demand System? · · Score: 1

    last time i checked, the large markup applied to tapes, but not DVDs. This is why some stores began renting DVDs who never rented tapes.

  15. Re:But... on 10 Ads The US Won't See · · Score: 1

    i think it was the windshield wiper spinning end over end.

  16. Re:and 10.3.2 on iTunes 4.2 and QuickTime 6.5 · · Score: 1

    heh right. Apple uses akamai servers. If we can slashdot that, I will be throughly amazed.

  17. philly area show on Slashback: Lamo, Trilogy, Searching · · Score: 1

    and....just scored 5 tickets to the philly show

  18. Re:This may have happened already on Innocent File-Sharers Could Appear Guilty? · · Score: 1

    ....because attacking their own customer base was, until this lawsuit, really getting them to be more beloved all throughout America

  19. Re:innovation on New PowerBooks, Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse · · Score: 1

    damn, i stand corrected. I had no idea the MS one was so much. Traditionally, there have almost always been cheaper alternatives to Apple's peripherals (Rio vs iPod), but look which one has sold a million units

  20. Re:innovation on New PowerBooks, Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse · · Score: 1

    apple has always charged a premium for certain things. Mice and keyboards were included in this. Until recently, they sold the Pro mouse and keyboard for $59.95, IIRC. You pay extra for the design of it, like you would buying a Harmon/Kardon or Bose stereo. If you dont like it, buy a Logitech. They make great mice, for much less

  21. Re:As usual on New PowerBooks, Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse · · Score: 1

    Or you don't rest your wrists on the table at all and type like you would on the typewriter with your hand completely off the desk.

    in a way, they're helping our future RSI injuries; its a much better position for your wrists.

  22. Re:Um, the big one? on What's Always Next? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why arent we? Because there's a lot of people at (Exxon|Mobil|Citgo|Hess|etc) with very deep pockets, and ungodly amounts of money invested in pulling oil out of the ground.

  23. Re:Y2K on What's Always Next? · · Score: 1

    GeckoX meet Sarcasm. Sarcasm, this is GeckoX.

    But her skill level is no better then a trained monkey. In fact, I would go as far as saying i'd enjoy a trained monkey wearing underwear then Madonna.

    Raise your hand if you've kissed both Britney Spears and Christina Aguiliera. Thats right. I only see one hand raised
