  1. Re:conflict on Secure Shell Will Remain 'SSH' · · Score: 1

    He WROTE the damn thing, then gave it away. I don't think keeping the name is too much to ask.

    That's the whole point. HE GAVE IT AWAY. Now he wants it back. Asking for "the name" *is* too much to ask. "Name" is everything in today's world. Imagine if companies or open source efforts couldn't use "telnet" or "ftp" in their names.

  2. Infogrip BAT on Keyboards For One Handed Typing & Chording? · · Score: 1

    I am surprised that this hasn't been mentioned yet.

    Check out the Infogrip BAT. It's a cording keyboard. It can be used one-handed or in a pair. I used one of the prototypes 10 years ago in college. Looks like they've made it even better.

  3. Glass Houses on Making Banner Ads Suck Less · · Score: 1

    Interactive, or as George W. would say "Interactivfulness"

    Here's a few scenerios...


    I goof on Dubya's enunciation problems as much as anyone, but I try to avoid grammatical errors as I'm doing it.

  4. Re:Hold 614 CDs for $150? Who makes it? on Napster Introduces Subscription Charge · · Score: 1

    614 CDs * ~10 tracks/CD * ~3MB/track ~= 1 20GB HD

    So, at $150, he's overpaying...

  5. Tape is so durable on "D-VHS": Will it replace DVD? · · Score: 1

    I have CDs I bought 15 years ago and they still work flawlessly. I can't say the same thing about any cassettes or videotapes.

    The move to CD from cassette was about durability, random access and ease of use. Quality considerations were secondary for the vast majority of users.

    VHS to DVD was the same. (Although, quality was a much bigger consideration this time around.) Why would we take a step back now?

  6. I have long thought... on Combating Cheating In Online Games · · Score: 1

    ..that someone should combate cheating in online games.

    There should also be work done in combatting cheating, also.

    Sorry... Couldn't resist...

  7. Re:Why the carnage? on Quickies, Coast to Coast · · Score: 1

    Did you bother to read the text at the site?

    If you have a hard disk drive, which doesn't want to work, don't send it to Switzerland.

    Apparently not...

  8. Re:This is going to be really redundant on SDMI Cracked Too Soon · · Score: 1

    Doh! You beat me to it!

    Now, there has to be another dead horse around here somewhere...

  9. Re:the /. effect... on Timex Sinclair ZX81 Back On the Market · · Score: 1

    $100?!?!?!? If you win that wager, I've severely underestimated the cash-to-gray-matter ratio for the average Slashdotter.
