  4. Re:Uggh on Fox Starts TV Production For Cell Phones · · Score: 0

    I can depend on my i55sr, and it has taken a severe beating, but still not nearly the beatings I've seen dished out by coworkers & associates on their i55srs.

    I only wish the address book was a little more robust & synchable.

    I haven't looked lately for OSS utilities for it, but they were non-existant last time I looked.
    The win32 apps put out by motorolla are something like what I'd expect to use with Windows 3.11

    A robot with a shotty was sent to deliver a telephone to the Weavers front door way back in 1992 during the Ruby Ridge incident.

    I believe they are pretty standard on bomb bots.

    Yup you'ze a bastard
    Strangely when I logged into hotmail today my account was in reserved mode, but it wasn't before you pulled your bastardly deed.
    No spam yet, does slashdot employ some kinda anti-spambot measures?

    btw Exspecto Jones came thru, what a nice fellow
    Unlike you, you filthy bastard.

    I think I need to call you a bastard at least once more, you bastard!

  10. Flash memory to access new service on Nextel Jumps into Wide-Area Wireless Broadband · · Score: 4, Funny

    What a beautiful thread that was Grandpa.

  12. Start button to shut down PROPERLY on Adobe Still Ignores Elcomsoft-Discovered Holes · · Score: 1

    It's kinda funny that after years and years of "Did you shut your computer down Properly?"

    Joe Sixpack is scared to hell of that big ole power switch on the front of his computer.

    Now x86 OS's and hardware finally got the soft power button working.**

    Is Joe Sixpack using the power button again, or will this be passed on for generations?

    "Hey Billy Sixpack, shut the computer down PROPERLY and go get ready for bed"

    ** I'm sure this has been working in the un-x86 world forever

  15. Re:Is it not dangerous ? on DoCoMo Will Launch Fuel-Cell Mobile Phones By 2005 · · Score: 1

    To get any amount of explosive power out of say a bic lighter, you'd have to empty it into a carefully sized airtight container to get the fuel/air mixture right.

    This is why cars rarely blow up like in the movies.

  20. Re:How about copy - replace on Significant Interactivity Boost in Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    Ahh, I always figured the Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V was the window managers clipboard.
    I certainly didn't know that highlighted text isn't really pasted from a clipboard with the middle mouse button.

    Thanks unapersson!

    I'd still like to find a X shortcuts & tricks page(window manager independant)if anyone has a link or two handy.

  21. How about copy - replace on Significant Interactivity Boost in Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    In X or CLI with mouse, how do you do a highlight - copy - highlight - replace?
    This has been a aggravation to me since I got my first linux box running, and would have been usefull in this post when I pasted in aggravation from Kdict next to aggrivation then had to ctrl-arrowkey backspace.

    A link to a page with these type of operations would be most handy.

    Anyone who has done focusing on a large CRT projector can tell you the blue tube is a biatch. No matter how sharp you get the focus on blue the lines always appear fuzzy.
