  1. Hmmm on Computers Linked to Glaucoma? · · Score: 1

    So by 2000 all kids were using pcs/video games, so by 2060 you could rule with an iron fist over the blind elderly if you just keep away from pcs.

  2. A HREF on Atlantis Found. Again. · · Score: -1, Offtopic
  3. My Bet on Segway vs. Roomba · · Score: 4, Funny

    Segway wins, Roomba loses, owner of segway still doesn't get laid.

  4. Msn Crawling on Is Microsoft Crawling Google? · · Score: 3, Informative

    If you've been watching the logs to your site lately Microsoft has been RAPING most servers. Most crawlers will pick through pages with large lists 1 at a time, then come back every hour or so.

    MSN starting last week has been pulling EVERY LINK in sequence from my site. Even the larger Artist Index pages of my site.

    Seriously, I've had this same spider on my site for about 36 hours now.

  5. Alien on Automated Sentry Robots · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Just don't cut it open or milk will shoot out of it.

  6. WordPerfect on Microsoft Pays $536M to Novell · · Score: 2, Interesting

    WordPerfect... The OTHER Monopoly. Several Law, Insurance, & State departments are still forced to use WordPerfect because they archived in WPDs.

    I really don't feel for WordPerfect's side on that suit.

  7. RetroPod on Digital Retro · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the RetroPod (Pics).

    Too bad Sony shut 'em down.

  8. Re:Great Timing. on Amazon Sued Over Recommendation Patent · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's a bit wacky. The function is written for songs and I put it on the artist page. It's just printing 2 songs by the same artist. It's kludged up, but hey... It's not like i'm making money off this crap.

  9. Great Timing. on Amazon Sued Over Recommendation Patent · · Score: 4, Funny

    Good to hear this now; I stayed up until 4 a.m. last night writing the Recommended Function code to my site last night.

  10. Already Done on Battery-powered Cigarettes? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm right. You're Wrong.

  12. WHA?! on DoubleClick On The Blocks? · · Score: 1, Troll

    Christ, Microsoft put a pop-up blocker in to stop this company.

    Who would have thought it would have hurt their business plan.

    Microsoft would never hurt another company...

  13. This Year on Halloween Fun · · Score: 2, Funny

    This year i'm going as Justin Timberlake and My GF is Janet. My best costume was the priest. Although atomic wedgie is sounding best this year.

  14. Cost Effective on Murphy's Law Rules NASA · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It's actually more cost effective to allow for failures. You build the same sat 5 times and if 4 fail in a cheaper launch situation, you still save money.

    From this article:

    "Swales engineers worked closely with Space Sciences Laboratory engineers and scientists to define a robust and cost-effective plan to build five satellites in a short period time."

  15. Vote From Home on Researchers And Registrars Debate E-Voting · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Voting from a PC at home is a bad idea because it unfairly gives people with money a chance to vote easier than without.

    I guess this is obvious, but had to be said.

  16. Missing on OQO For Sale · · Score: -1, Troll

    This this is missing one thing to make it marketable: A Windows Based OS

    Most Bosses run Windows.

    Bosses Have Money.

    This company wants money.

    If this syncs w/exchange PERFECTLY, this it might survive as a company.

  17. See it through... on The Browser Wars Are Back? · · Score: 1

    These companies want to make money.

    So how does it work? People don't change their homepage, they go to *MSN/NETSCAPE/ETC*'s website to show banners, and they make money.

    If you really want to screw a browser company over, download their browser, then set the homepage as your favorite browser's homepage.

    Or just download their browser for the hell of it, don't use it. Atleast it'll cost them bandwidth.

  18. No way on Will VoIP Kill the PBX? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    There's no way the phone companies are going away because they'll just con you into using their service to keep dsl. I have DTV & a cell phone. I have no need for a phone line or cable television.
    But when I get broadband I can either pay $55/mo. for DSL & Phone or $60/mo. for DSL w/out phone service. Cable is $70 w/Internet or $60 for internet alone.

    The company also announced the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service is a Cray XD1 customer, which adds to an impressive list of early users, including the Ohio Supercomputer Center, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), Germany's Helmut Schmidt University and the SAHA Institute of Nuclear Physics (Calcutta, India).

  21. Created at Defcon 8 on Caffeinated Beer Becomes a Reality · · Score: 1

    I like to think I created this caffinated drink craze at Defcon 8.

    Back before redbull became popular They decided to advertise at Defcon by giving away free RedBulls.

    I was 18 at the time and smuggled 24 waterbottles of vodka onto my plane to hold me over in vegas. The problem, I couldn't afford mixers. (You know where this is going)

    About 10 Red bulls (NO CLUE HOW STRONG THEY WERE THEN) and 5 "water bottles" later the sun was coming up and I was in a hotel room w/2 strippers and 30 people I had NO CLUE who they were.

    I also puked off the 32nd floor balcony.

    Good times.

  24. Clinko.com on Websites For The Frugal? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Clinko.com is just a module off of my full site Protista.com. But, it's the main attraction because it parses bensbargains and slickdeals so I can check them at work.

    I'd say this was a shameless promotion, but i make Jack and shit off of this, so enjoy it.

  25. I saw this on Robosaurus · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I saw this in the superdome in N.O. when I was 12 (1992). I remember I sat in the cheap seats up high which was about where the flames exausted at. All I really remember is how it tore through a van and it was REALLY HOT.
    About a year later fireworks caught the roof of the dome on fire. After that, No more Truck-o-Saurus
