  1. oh boy... on Streaming RealAudio From a Commodore 64 · · Score: 1

    I wonder if it caught fire...

    Does the "Slashdot effect" work in Insurance claims?

  2. is it just me... on Spriggan Released On DVD · · Score: 1

    Or did I see "Springer" instead? Man, you got my hopes up for an anime version of Jerry Springer.

    Just IMAGINE what hilarity would ensue if an animated version of Jerry Springer existed.

  3. Wow... on e-Denounce · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's kind of neat that we can now press a button and take down a website.

    Before such software as that, we had to get it posted on Slashdot.

  4. here is an easy, but less-reliable, transfer... on Instant Message, Instant Transcript · · Score: 2

    ...method!!!

    Try logging that! Then again, the company could shoot the birds down or fire you for having birds in the office. Or to make matters worse, the bird getting hurt along the way (like flying into a window while trying to send the packet).

  5. Re:IE for Solaris/HP-UX on Microsoft to Continue Mac Support · · Score: 2

    What about Solaris x86 as well? I only see IE availble for Solaris SPARC.

  6. Shit... on War Driving Version 2.0 · · Score: 3, Funny

    I thought the ladies come with the cameras. I guess I will cancel my order for those 10 X10 cameras.

    I should have thought over how they would get 10 hot females shipped via courier.

  7. MORE BULLSHIT ON CD SALES on Best Buy Backs CD Copy Impairment · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Excuse me? 10% drop in music sales over the past year? Lets be a little level headed here and realise that the economy hasn't been that stellar for the past bit and I can see a 10% drop in the purchasing of Compact Discs that cost $15-$25 a piece.

    Lets also put this into context. How many people are on GNUtella or Kazza? Well, on GNUtella it is hard to tell due to how the system works, but I wouldn't be suprised if it was in the 50,000 - 100,000 range. KaZaA is probably at a similar level. How many people out there listen to CDs they buy legitimately? I am sure there are more people with legit CDs than those who have burned MP3s or OGG Vorbis files on to CD-ROMS.

    Utter bullshit.

  8. God... on Do-it-yourself CPU Water Cooler · · Score: 2

    I find this mod really pathetic, mainly due to how he attached the cooling system to the processor.

    And how is there a benefit? My Celeron-2 600 sits at 36 degrees celcius and it is only cooled by a fan on the processor and two fans in the case. If attaching a water cooling system like his to mine only causes a 10 degrees difference in temperature, why should I care? Unless it got to the point of being 15 or 20 degrees cooler, I can give a rat's ass about it.

    Yet putting my system in liquid freon would be an option. How does a non-conductive cold liquid sound for cooling a system? :)

  9. Woo hoo! on Everquest Coming To the PS2 · · Score: 3, Funny

    I wonder when the 512 MB memory upgrade for my Playstation 2 will be availble? :)

  10. thank-god for archive.org on The Periodic Table of Comic Book Elements · · Score: 3, Informative

  11. bullshit on Blizzard/Vivendi Files Suit Against Bnetd Project · · Score: 2

    What complete bullshit.

    Do we see Microsoft suing the Samba team over usage of the SMB protocol in non-Microsoft related Operating Systems?

    I think not and you'd expect Microsoft to go as low as that (but they just change the protocol a tad bit with every OS they release).

    So why the fuck should Blizard/Vivendi sue the Bnetd team over this?

  12. Okay... on Virtual PC for OS/2 released · · Score: 1, Troll

    I beleive those two OS/2 Warp users out there will be pleased to hear this.

    I beleive they're still waiting for Quake II to be ported for them.

  13. (OT) on Time Travel · · Score: 2

    According to my time machin... clock, it will be 2 am in approximately 2 and a half hours.

    Where do you live? I live in Surrey.

  14. From the Monorail Simpsons episode... on Build Your Own Monorail · · Score: 5, Funny

    Quimby: And now, I'd like to turn things over to our Grand Marshall, Mr. Leonard Nimoy.
    Nimoy: I'd say this vessel could do at least Warp Five.
    [appreciative laughter from the crowd]
    Quimby: And let me say, ``May the Force Be With You!''
    Nimoy: [annoyed] Do you even know who I am?
    Quimby: [indignant] I think I do. Weren't you one of the Little Rascals?

  15. Re:Some noticeable ironies... on Microsoft/Unisys Unix-bashing Site Runs FreeBSD · · Score: 2

    Wrong.

    The Google bar comes with Mozilla and is included with Galeon.

  16. bullshit on Declawing Windows: Impossible? · · Score: 1

    Lets see... Windows 95 didn't have all the bloated shit that Windows 98 had, as well as the shit in ME.
    NT 4.0 didn't have all the bloated shit that 2000 and XP had.

    Hmm..

    98 Lite demonstrated that you could still run Windows 98 and Windows ME WITHOUT Internet Explorer. Personally, integrating an Operating System and a browser is a completely stupid thing seeing that exploit after exploit has been discovered for this browser making it able to write to files, change things, etc.

    How would it limit the OS? Oh wait, Microsoft thinks every family out there really cares if they use Internet Explorer and not Netscape. If I remember correctly, Netscape was one of the only browsers for Windows 3.1 (along with Mosaic and a few others) and even the small majority of families out there didn't care much for it. I don't even recall seeing Windows NT relying on Internet Explorer. Why should it anyways? Isn't NT supposed to be an enterprise operating system? Why would a server need an Internet Browser to run?

    I am not a Windows user, but I still think that Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95 are the only decent versions of their operating system (though Windows 2000 is decent itself). Yet when Microsoft released Internet Explorer and made it a "dependant" for the operating system, I began to hate Microsoft as a passion. Internet Explorer was ported to Solaris, HP-UX, and Mac OS and I don't recall seeing the browser causing operating system to be dependant on it.

    Bullshit.

  17. hmm on Monitors for People with Poor Eyesight? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I beleive the ultimate solution is to talk to an optometrist about your situation.

    I was visiting one just a few months ago and I saw various information on computers and bad eyesight. They might be able to give you information of what you should look for and maybe they might have something that will help you use your computer.

    I wouldn't mind a monitor that would fix my slight colour-blindness. :)

  18. any tower can with-stand an impact of an airliner on Leaked FEMA/ASCE Draft Report On WTC Collapse · · Score: 2, Interesting

    SkyScrapers.com

    On this site there was an Interview done with an engineer who had some knowledge on the World Trade Center. He stated that the airplanes could have not brought them down seeing that buildings of a lesser, equal, or greater size get the same sort of impact daily with the force of winds.

    It is said that the airplanes caused an impact of equal or lesser force than what it would experience from day-to-day wind.

  19. Re:UK Horizon program on Leaked FEMA/ASCE Draft Report On WTC Collapse · · Score: 2

    If I am not incorrect, that drywall you are talking of would not be able to withstand the heat of burning jet fuel.

    So, sadly, the drywall would have been useless even if it stayed.

  20. That will be a tough one to fight on Intel Puts The Squeeze On ... A Yoga Foundation? · · Score: 2

    If Intel actually wins this, which I doubt, then I better watch what I say.

    If I say, "Oh, hey! How are you doing Joe? Please go inside..."

    Then I can safely assume that Intel's lawyers will be knocking at my door telling me to watch what I say and threaten me with law suits.

    I would have to say something like, "Oh, hey! How are you doing Joe? Inside is my house, please go..."

    That sounds realy stupid. And that goes the same for this case, it is stupid too.

    Unloosen is the same as loosen.

    Got to love the English language.

  23. Floppy Drives on Swapping IDE Drives in Linux without Rebooting? · · Score: 2

    A while back, I had to disconnect my floppy drive to do some work inside the case. Now the system is bak up and running, but guess what? I have the ribbon cable connected to the floppy drive but the power cable is not.

    Is it safe to just plug it in or do I need to power-down the system? Powering-down is a last-resort seeing the system is a server.

  24. Re:W-ERZ on Amateur Radio Packet Over 802.11 Cards · · Score: 2

    What sort of music do you guys play? I heard the Windows 95 soundtrack has a lot of "pop" to it.

  25. wait a second... on Review: Blade II - Electric Boogaloo · · Score: 2

    A movie review NOT by Jon Katz? That is like, weird and I think he'll be upset about that.

    I will be seeing Blade 2 this Friday and I hope it is as good as some people are saying.
