  1. Re:Just post the damn podcast on Podcasts of University Lectures? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    exactly what i was going to say.

    there are still problems with skipping class and just listening to podcast, such as, if they have any questions about the material, both in the podcast and in the reading, they will not have the opportunity to ask them

    also, if podcasts are only online for a part of the time, there is nothing stopping students from getting podcasts from someone who has saved them all.

  2. waiting on Pluto Making a Comeback · · Score: 4, Insightful

    it seems like any vote on the future of pluto ought to wait till after the prob gets there in a few years. We do not even have good pictures of the planet, or a lot of solid date (if the wikipedia entry is good). I say wait to make any changes until than, anything else would be jumping the gun

  7. my method on Managing a Huge Music Collection? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ive got just over 5000 files

    If i have more than 5 songs from one artist they get there own folder
    if ive got complete CDs from an artist, each album gets a folder within the artist's folder
    less than 5 songs, artists are sorted by name into and "A" folder or a "B" folder.

    ive been using this system for 8 years and has worked out well for me.
    with winamp there is an option in the context which can add the contents of a folder to a playlist. This gets around having the create them in winamp, than having to do something with those files.

  10. Re:Didn't Understand the Hype on iPod Takes Japan by Storm · · Score: 1

    damn straight man,

    other than itunes being a kinda crappy program, the ipod really is the best thing out there. The rage of options/sizes/such really make it aa great music player.

    Do lots of peopl my them because the are the 'it' thing. Yes. But they are the 'it ' thing because the are really good at what they do.

  11. Re:slow news day on Phantom Console Put on Hold · · Score: 1

    How could a week go by without a cheap shot at the Phantom?
    This thing will never see the light of day b/c the building are to sad. They read how much they suck on slashdot and go out, by the cheap dope, and sleep for a week.

    We need to give these guys a brake!
    i dont see you building a next-gen gaming system

  12. From Snow Crash: on Off With Their HUDS! · · Score: 2, Funny

    "A screaming display flashes up on the goggles informing him that the millimeter-wave radar notices a steam of bullets heded in hi direction an would like to know where they came from, Sir?...He tuns off all the techno-shit in his goggles. All it does is confuse him; he stands there reading statices about his own death even has its happening to him. Very Post-Modern. Time tp get immersed in Reality, like the people around him" Neal Stephenson

  13. Re:I'll tell you how to stop gilfarmers... on Hunting Down Gilfarmers · · Score: 1

    maybe, but there are a lot of lazy people out there who are willing to play cash to get to the highest levels of the game with working for it.

  16. Re:Charity and economics on Child's Play Approaches Half a Million Dollars · · Score: 1

    I fully agree. Its imporant to find a balence between pure charity and assistence in economic develepment, at least when in comes to helping the 3rd world getting a leg up.

    But helping sick kids in american having something to do while in a hospital is a little differant than helping sick kids in africa not die of bad water.

    I also undertand...or at least hope...that you are being sarcastic

  17. For Gamers who have kids on Dungeons and Shadows · · Score: 4, Interesting

    http://www.pvponline.com/rants_dd.php3

    Years ago Scott Kurtz posted this on his website PVP.
    I have since played DnD with my little brother and his friends. While they have not become gamers they really enjoyed it.

    It seems like all of those people who say they can't play DnD or other table top RPGs because they have kids and families ought to be playing with thier kids and families. It gets them away from the video games and the TV.

  18. Re:Alternity on Dungeons and Shadows · · Score: 1

    It seems that Alternity went away with the launch of the 3rd editon of DnD and the launch of D20. I have got back to my Dark*Matter books to see if it might be converted to D20 but no one wanted to play with me, so i never finished.

    so sad...role playing is fun stuff

  19. Safty on How Zombies Work · · Score: 3, Funny

    Everywhere i go i make sure that if a Zombie busts in i am ready.

    1) Look for exits and ways to block them.
    2) make sure that there is aways blunt objects or shot guns
    3) if there is a shot gun, and there is less that 10 shells. Give the gun to the weakest member of the party. They are goign to die frist, and there is little a gun with that few shots is going to do
    4) what zombie moves everychance you get. Take notes on what goes right and what goes wrong.

  20. Surprised on Yahoo Closes Chat Rooms to Anyone Under 18 · · Score: 1

    Not really

    I wonder why Yahoo didn't do this years ago. At least from a liability standpoint this seems like Yahoo would not want to put itself in the place were it was the medium for a pedophile getting some kid into his van. Or two 13 year olds hooking up and running away together.

    I know it wasn't Yahoo's fault if something like this were to happen. But having it happen in their backyard might piss a lot of people off

  23. Bull on The Death of Folders? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What a load of Bullshit

    Spotlight is really good, but that hasnt stoped me from being anal about setting up files so i can find things.

    What really pisses me off is out iTunes reognized all my music when it was inported into the libary. I spent years putting together music in such a way that i can find it. Now i have the seach for it b/c itunes had to mess things up.
