  1. Button of Doom on LiveJournal Blackout Analysis Online · · Score: 1

    Maybe they should use the Button of Doom (USB) to lock the pcs down too...

  2. Similar on AI Bots Pick The Hits of Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    As a test I compiled a list of streams that I though were a little too similar in format (Clearchannel)

    Turns out they play songs and nearly the same percentage (varies by maybe 5%) per day.

    Even new hits seem to rotate in at the same rate.

    It doesn't matter how good the song is, it's the marketing team that can shake clearchannel's hands.

  3. Spam on Spammers' Upend DNS · · Score: 2, Funny

    I hate this new trend! I have to wait until morning until I can order my v!@gra!!!

    What happened to the good old days, when I could order B0n3r Juic3 as soon as I got my mail!

  4. MSN Toolbar on Google Announces 'Mini' Search Appliance · · Score: 1

    The MSN toolbar allows you to cache/search networked drives.

    This essentially provides all the services the google appliance provides.

    $5000 or Free? Which will your CFO want you to use?

  5. Views vs. Clicks on Business Week On Desktop Search Economics · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Lets see their marketing plan:

    So they make something so that people can get things done _faster_.

    Then they put advertisements in.

    Then hope they'll forget they were trying to get things done and start clicking on those ads?

    Makes no sense.

    That's like hoping someone will leave during a tv show to get the product they see during a commercial.

    The only money they'll make from advertising is views, not clicks. And we know this doesn't work.

  6. Prior Art on Leapfrog Talking Pen · · Score: 2, Funny

    Prior Art!!!

    Bill Cosby had a talking pen in Picture Pages in the early 80's.

    It even sang and danced...

  7. Guide on Linux Looms Large in DVRs, PVRs · · Score: 1

    Where does the guide info come from? That seems like the most important part. And the part that you pay $12/mo. for w/Tivo.

  8. Secunia? on Extremely Critical IE6/SP2 Exploit Found · · Score: -1, Troll

    Great, a no name company says something... Seriously don't post shit from "companies" that are just 1 guy ranting...

    2. Registered by DIRECTNIC (15/yr. domain seller) and isn't setup on real dns servers

  9. Validation on Microsoft Releases AntiSpyware Program · · Score: 0, Redundant

    You have to validate (Send your Serial Number) to microsoft in order to download this.

    I've never seen this before for a microsoft download and hope it isn't a growing trend. When is the last time you knew where your product key was?

  10. Too Soon on IDC Proclaims Linux Is Now Mainstream · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is way too soon to say it's mainstream.

    Hell, people don't even think netscape/mozilla/firefox is mainstream and it have 20% or more of the market.

  11. Impressive. on Linus Makes Business Week's Best Managers List · · Score: 5, Funny

    A manager of a group that reads slashdot all day and still get things done.

    That is impressive.

  12. DRM HACK on Welcome to the Future of DRM Media · · Score: 1

    Radioshack makes a DRM hack! It's crazy, i can't believe they're getting away with it! http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fna me=CTLG&product%5Fid=42-2387 OUT->IN

  13. Role Reversal on India Debating Manned Space Flight · · Score: 5, Funny

    I bet they do it about 25% of the price.

    Although they'll have to outsource to Americans that used to work at NASA

    NASA: "Hello? This is Gutmar."

    INDIA: "Yeah, 'Gutmar', your real name is something like 'David' or 'Paul' isn't it? Damned Americans taking our jobs."

    NASA: "My Friend, I cannot tell you where I am. It is not our policy My Friend."

  14. Article's Shameless attack at IE on Worm Exploit Distributed by Advertising Network · · Score: 4, Funny

    So if your XP machine is up to date you're ok?

    That's kool, because all I do is download new browsers for security and never run windows update. That would make too much sense...

  15. Great Tool on A Complete Guide to Pivot Tables · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Seriously, Pivottables are one of the greatest features of Excel.

    Query your sql data, put a pivottable on that sheet, and you've amazed the highest of corporate bosses. I live by this thing.

  16. Mass Transit on Will Our Cars Become Our Chauffeurs? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I take Mass Transit to be driven around.

    I drive my car to get away from being driven around.

  17. Monster Island on Better Nuclear Waste Storage Plans than Yucca Mountain · · Score: 2, Funny

    As long as we keep it away from a remote, unwatched island. The Japanese already learned this lesson the hard way.

    And for the software industry to celebrate this disaster with a name like "MoZILLA" is insulting.

  18. Cable on HDTV PC Capture Solutions? · · Score: 5, Informative

    "With HDTV DVR's costing upwards of a thousand US dollars or more"

    It's $3 more a month than the normal DVR Time Warner offers.

    I know this might not be an option for you, but others might want to know that HD DVRs might just be $36/yr. away from them.

  19. Re:Self Updating on Where Is The Plug-and-Play Linux Office System? · · Score: 1

    I could tell you how it does it w/out banning me, but that would be cheating :)

  20. Thug Passion on Nanoloop: GameBoy Advance Hard Disk Recording · · Score: 4, Funny

    "rendering the GBA one of the most cool digital gadgets for musicians that travel a lot. "

    Nothing says Rock Star or Street Thug like a GameBoy.

  21. Self Updating on Where Is The Plug-and-Play Linux Office System? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Wasn't there a huge stink about WinXP and its AutoUpdate feature, now this guy wants to base his marketing around that idea w/linux...

  22. Sure on TiVo to Sell Your Fast-Forward Button · · Score: 1

    Doesn't really bother me, I just look at the time on the bar, when it hits 2 minute (3 minutes on some shows) you hit play.

    It's muscle memory at this point, I'll probably notice the pop-ups as much as I notice banner ads now.

  23. SQL on Shawn Fanning Is Back Into Digital Music · · Score: 1, Funny

    SELECT * from tblArtistlist WHERE
    artist = @SearchArtist and not in (Select Artist from tblBannedArtist)

  24. Computer Nerds on Wilco on P2P, Digital Music and the Internet · · Score: 0

    Gotta love a band that uses computer terms on their album covers:

    Wilco is less-than or equal to a ghost is born

    I'm going to rip off his quote but here's what's at the end of his msg:
