  1. Re:Here is the number NBC paid for the rights... on Net Faces 10 -Year Olympic Shutout · · Score: 1

    All that money, and they don't set aside a little extra to hire a producer that knows how to cover sports.
    The NBC coverage of the Sydney games was the worst I've seen yet.

  2. Re:Don't Vote on Technology Issues by Candidate · · Score: 1

    If you don't have an opinion, then don't vote.

    I agree. But, if you don't vote, don't come whining when you don't like the way things are going either.

  3. Re:If you don't vote your conscience, at least vot on Technology Issues by Candidate · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, no one will care if you do that.
    As I recall, Donald Duck gets about 5% of the vote in every Swedish election, and it usually gets a chuckle and is quickly forgotten.
    Politicians will never care about this as it is essentially an invalid vote.

  4. Tech journalism howto... on CNET Says CueCat Restrictions Are Bogus · · Score: 1

    A bit off topic, but:
    Browse slashdot at +3 threshold, cut and paste into Word (or Emacs if you prefer), submit article.
    I could make some good dough this way...

  5. Re:one sold for just under $15k on Sony Playstation 2 for Over $1k [Updated -- $5K] · · Score: 1

    If that $15K is actually true, I wonder if Sony themselves may have bought it.
    If you think about it, $15K is really cheap advertisment if it does get all over the evening news...

  6. Seems to me... on More Opinions About Napster From Offbeat Artists · · Score: 3

    that the title 'artist' should from now on be called 'moneyist' instead, because it sure isn't about art anymore...

  7. Re:Short memory... on Dark Hearts And The Net · · Score: 1

    think real hard and you might get it

    Yeah, he raised the taxes, and I wound paying a bunch more.
    Not exactly rocket sience.

  8. Re:Short memory... on Dark Hearts And The Net · · Score: 1

    There were no new taxes...

    Sure there was. The Bush tax increase in 1990 boosted the top rate to 31 percent, cost me a bundle. But maybe you weren't even born then...

  9. Short memory... on Dark Hearts And The Net · · Score: 1

    Taxes and democrats are best friends

    Does anybody remember the 'read my lips' statement by Bush, after which we got the biggest tax hike in history?

  10. Re:"while.h"? on Mars Canals May Not Mean Water · · Score: 1

    It's the one for the CueCat stories, on and on and...

  11. Re:Nothing impresses Me anymore! on New Singer Sewing Machine Uses ... Game Boy · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but will it display /. while it's working away?

  12. Re:The wheel on Enter The 'Stupid Patent Tricks' Contest · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't suprise me one bit if this were to actually happen one day

    Some guy was actually granted a trademark (TM) on 'Linux' by the PTO a few years ago, took some legal wrangling to get that one undone.
    More info here. Those guys will give patents and TM's out to anyone for anything...

  13. Faulty design... on Enter The 'Stupid Patent Tricks' Contest · · Score: 1

    Your biological optical character recognition is unfortunately sometimes a faulty design, therefore I will file a follow-up patent for Glass Lenses for Avoiding Sight Sensory Errors, or GLASSES for short.
