  1. AMEN to that! on Making Banner Ads Suck Less · · Score: 1

    I'd continue to click on interesting banners, and filter stupid ones with this new model. I wouldn't whore AdKarma(c) for the sake of new options -- but if I I knew it could get a /. shirt out of it, I would be a little bit more inclined to check out some of the ads.

    After my first Ad-Generated slashdot shirt came in the mail, I'd be an AdKarma Whore(c). Sort of like when the dealer gives someone that first line/rock/whatever - "The first one's always free."

    But to tell someone to view xxx number of ads in order to quit seeing them is oxymoronic.

  2. Step on Their Toes on Nike: Just Don't Do It · · Score: 1

    Anyone want to step all over Nike's "freedom-of-expressions-we-approve-of" covered toes?

    Register www.SWOO.sh !!

    Last I checked, it was available... but the fear of well-paid lawyers stepping on my freedom-loving toes -- well that just smushed my thoughts of stickin' it to 'da man!

    I applaud this dude...

  4. I found Harry Potter! on Harry Potter Sites vs. Warner Brothers · · Score: 1

    Check them out, Harry Potter listings from Yahoo - see if they want to fight the fight!

  5. MS Word wouldn't sell anymore. on Programmers work 47 days per year · · Score: 1

    If MS froze the feature set of Word, MS would not be able to sell any more copies of Word...

    Especially since most bug fixes are distributed as free patches.

    "MS WORD 3000 - More Features - Now You Can Do This! - Fixed Bugs!"

    - is more attractive than -

    "MS WORD 3000 - Fixed Bugs!"

    I say give me a small, stripped-down utilitarian software package where I can pick & choose the level of Bloatware to put up with.

    Like, give me Word so basic that it rivals WordPad... or even NotePad -- and then let me pick and choose how slow/bloated/buggy I would like it to be.

  6. Re:Holy Cow! on Sub-Orbital Skydiving · · Score: 1

    Ya know... come to think of it she'd get some pretty clean cell phone connection!

    And, she'd have plenty of time to talk... think of all those 'last words' to your dearly beloveds that you could come up with!

  8. Yes, it is the iMac question... on Alternatives To The Floppy Disk? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it is. I got the first iMac when it came out, and haven't used floppies since.

    Someone came out with a free webservice where I could up/download my work (3mb limit at the time). iMacFloppy.com -- he planned to come out with PCFloppy.com, not sure if he did. However, it's not Mac-centric anyway, only in name.

    This was a great alternative. I'm a CS student, a relative newbie MF/PC/Web coder, so I had to use it quite a lot.

    I also used some of the free website space at HotBot.com for this -- that's not what it was meant for, but it served my purpose.

    Now I either e-mail the data, or FTP it up/down to/from my domain account.

    As far as Zips, someone said people don't use them. I got one in my G4 almost a year ago, and still have good intentions to back-up my critical data to the zips...

  9. Yeah, ok -- but... on Linux Screenshots on Level 9 · · Score: 1
    I thought the show just sucked. I'm happy to hear the proud-parent-like touts of your favorite OS screenshots... But I was hoping L9 would be like either:
    • a low-budget-fx rip-off Matrix-like show
    • a tech-talkin'-over-your-head-mental-puzzles show -- kind of ER-lingo-like, 'cept for techies.
    Oh well... I guess option a) would be too expensive for UPN, and b) would draw only the /.-minded (which wouldn't make for a broad enough audience in tv-land terms). In the hopeful tone of the other posts, I'll give it another chance & watch again... (allowing for the first night's time-draining plot set-ups).

    Grok on.
