  1. Re:saw this a month back on Get Your iPod Fix From a Vending Machine · · Score: 1

    Most vending machines are far more advanced these days. If the item never made it through the delivery drop box it should not charge you for the purchase.

  2. gamertag on Impressions From A Second Shipment 360 Owner · · Score: 1

    I think the question we REALLY WANT TO KNOW is will his Gamertag be slashdotted!!!!!!

  3. Shark myth? on The Mythbusters Answer Your Questions · · Score: 1

    By the way, will hitting a Shark in the nose cause it so much pain that the shark will swim away?

    I missed Shark week...

  4. Re:Who really cleans up ebay's messes? on eBay Slammed Over Levels of Fraud · · Score: 1

    Im just wondering more of the details of how anyone here got ripped off.
    I have never gotten ripped off from ebay ever.

    #1 Dont buy anything from anyone without reviewing their feedback. It doesn't make sense to buy a $1500 laptop from someone who had been building their feedback by selling $5.00 baseball cards.
    #2 Dont buy anything expensive from ebay unless you can pick it up like a car or something. Why not buy a laptop from Dell using Dell coupons. Most Dell laptops can be had for under $1000 and has been the case for a few years.(using dell coupons found online).
    #3 Check the prices online before buying from ebay... People are paying more for used stuff and other misc stuff on eBay. Most of the time you cant return the stuff you buy on eBAy. Buy from a store... if something breaks you can return it.
    #4 If your only saving 20.00 buy it at the freaking store... geeez stop being cheap

  5. goDaddy sucks on GoDaddy Serves Blank Pages to Safari & Opera · · Score: 2, Informative

    goDaddy has horrible support. They banned my domain and claimed thousands of people were getting emails pointing to my site to capture ebay passwords. I had been using this auction add-on for ecommerce. To cut a long story short, I moved to yahoo which offers free dns forwarding!

  6. old news on Run Windows MCE Applications on Xbox 360 · · Score: 1

    Microsoft employees were demonstrating this at the XBOX launch party last monday.
    The XBOX 1 modchip made it into a multimedia center also, allowing users to upload videos to the XBOX and play them at will. I guess microsoft saw the value in this and is now the vendor for this multimedia center.

  7. using a dremel? on 200gb Hack for iPod Nano · · Score: 0

    Disassemble the iPod Nano using a screwdriver, and a Dremel. Use a very fine bit on the Dremel to avoid tarnishing the finish. Separate the two halves of the shell, and lay them on the table. Remove each part and place them separately. Remove the click wheel, and battery components to expose the mainboard. Remove the LCD screen with care, as it is very delicate. Avoid allowing dust to settle on it. When you are done, it should look like this.

    Using a dremel on your iPod Nano? OUCH!!

  14. university job on What You Should Know When Taking a University Job? · · Score: 1

    Working at the University is great. There are no pressures of a big corporation fighting its way through the competition. You can collaborate with other departments to reach a common goal. Universities are usually state funded so you have a pretty good chance of beating the dot bomb eras. Lastly, the pay is 10-20% under market, but the benefits are great! Hey I even got to finish my degree for only $3.00 per semester. Woo hoooooo
