  1. Re:Mirror of trailer on Ancanar Teaser Trailer Available · · Score: 2

    bad idea, prepare to have your account suspended =]

  2. good idea for coders on For Those Long Coding Sessions: The Food Patch · · Score: 2

    but it's a well-known fact that anyone who reads /. is too busy refreshing to do any coding ;)

  3. South Park reference on Linux-Based Bar-Monkey · · Score: 2

    Yeah, gotta get Hooked on Monkey-Linux?

  4. slashdotted on GeoURL: We Know Where You Live, Work and Blog! · · Score: 4, Funny

    Looks like no one will be stalking random local girls anytime until this story drops off the front page...

  5. Re:Safari on All-New PowerBooks, Web Browser Featured at Macworld · · Score: 2

    thats because it uses the native OS X text box widget, which has spell checking built-in. Omniweb has this nice feature too. I think I almost like Safari better than OmniWeb now too, especially for speed.

  6. Re:Safari like IE? on All-New PowerBooks, Web Browser Featured at Macworld · · Score: 2

    except it's not integrated into OS X. It uses a lot of the cool features available in the OS X frameworks, but that's like calling iTunes integrated because it uses cool OS X APIs to do cool stuff

  7. since i have karma to burn.... on TurboTax Activation Fiasco · · Score: 2

    First post from Safari!

  8. Re:Cogswell on Want To Make Video Games? · · Score: 2

    who woulda thought TWO Cogswell references in one /. story ;)

  9. Re:my school on Want To Make Video Games? · · Score: 2
  10. my school on Want To Make Video Games? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    has added game development (BS degree), though I am doing the straight SE track.

    cogswell.edu for those interested

  11. Re:both will flop on Apple To Introduce Video iPod? · · Score: 2

    "A tablet pc is currently only viable where people need to stand up"

    Are you kidding? I'd love a full-color replacement to my Newton, with much more surface area on which to draw! and full color to boot! One of the things that always limited my use of my Newton was the small surface area was not very fun for just sketching stuff out... i'm used to 8.5x11 drawing canvas, damnit!

  12. yes, however on Breakdown of Bandwidth Costs? · · Score: 3, Funny

    If they simply used an Interocitor, a device that can lay roads at a mile a minute, it can of course also lay cable, cheap! DIRT cheap! Just gotta get those folks with the funny, large heads to sell em....

  13. Re:Interesting! on How Will Animals Look 250 Million Years From Now? · · Score: 2

    I bought a copy in Booktent Santa Cruz (right after the '89 earthquake), i was in 4th or 5th grade I think, and pushed me in a more scientific direction.

  14. Meh on Star Wars Origami · · Score: 5, Funny

    everyone knows that Lord of the Rings Origami is where it's at! Stop supporting Lucas and Lucas-oriented origami!

    [/humor]

  15. Re:we SAID 'Meh' on Wahoo P4 Stratagem System Review · · Score: 2

    i saw the infomercial with wil wheaton for the x-3d glasses, and thought I would tease him a bit about it (seeing as he is a /. reader)

  16. we SAID 'Meh' on Wahoo P4 Stratagem System Review · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    I'd like the alienware Area51 laptop more

    up to 3 GHz p4, even if it IS a desktop P4 and not a laptop one... that's what AC adaptors are for

  17. Re:I know where the money is on What Should I Do With My Life? · · Score: 2

    OT: I like your '80s stream, but I think you should check out quicktime streaming server, if u have the bandidth yourself, because it doesn't limit you to 56K and doesn't make people jump though hoops just to listen.

  18. Re:Have you even read Beowulf? on Tolkien and the Beowulf Saga · · Score: 2

    "Why wasn't the mother-goddess priestess as, um, voluptous, as the alarming "Venus" sculptures that Beowulf's thanes came across?"

    It's pretty much understood nowadays that the mother-goddess figures exaggerate the womanly features of the female form, i.e. the hips, breasts and legs.

  20. Re:42"! The ANSWER! on Forty-two Inch Plasma Monitor · · Score: 0, Troll

    the question?

    "how long is your dong?" At least, that's what it asked me.

  21. This country pisses me off on U.S. Pushing Conservative Science · · Score: 2

    more and more, every day.

    I've been looking into moving to Switzerland... non-EU country, nice LOW probability of being attacked, much friendlier foreign policy. Sure, I'll have to learn German, French or Italian. It sure is better than being shafted by Bush and his cronies.

  22. Re:Send in the Clones! on First Human Clone Born? · · Score: 2
  23. waste of time right now on The Humane Environment · · Score: 2

    Maybe after it's out of alpha it might be worth something... but not yet (wouldn't run correctly under OS X Classic for me)

  24. Re:Old news on Christmas in 2050 · · Score: 2

    "Sooo where's our jet packs"

    right here =]

  25. my home setup on Bridging Unix and Windows At NASA · · Score: 2

    I have a PC running XP and a G4 Cube and I use them off of one monitor with VNC (mac is server, win is client) and I'll have a nice USB-supported monitor switcher by Xmas!

    VPC with XP on OSX was just unacceptable for windows coding and gaming, henc my current setup. I like the UNIXness and Macness but I have to (well, had to) do Windows programming.
