  1. Re:Global Warning on Is the Yellowstone Supervolcano About To Blow? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    evacuated to where exactly? and by whom? you saw what happened to katrina do you really think we're any more prepared for anything like this?

  2. Re:Same with old photographs on Digitizing Old Magazines? · · Score: 4, Informative

    you might try these guys,
    http://www.scancafe.com/works.php
    basically you mail them all your negatives (i think they take prints too) and they scan em in india, put em online and you can choose which scans to keep, then you get your originals back in the mail with a disc containing your scans.

  3. Re:Anti-EU much ? on Safest Seat on a Plane, Or How to Survive a Crash · · Score: 1

    I still think you're thinking about this too much. Do you ever ride the bus? when you get on you are expected to move to the back of the bus so more people can keep getting on. The phrase is that simple.

  4. Re:Urban-themed? on Urban-Themed Video Games 'Basically Dead'? · · Score: 1

    True, "Urban" = "Black"
    I've seen this at barne's and noble. "Urban fiction" its not books about cities, its books about black people in cities.

  5. Re:Dammit!! on Digital Camera Failures · · Score: 5, Informative

    its not the LCD its the CCD, the sensor that picks up the light through the lens, i have one of the effected camcorders and it just shows and records blackness.

  6. Re:My reasons on Why Do You Block Ads? · · Score: 1

    I'll block ads if they are overly obnoxious. Banner ads I already disregard automatically so i leave them alone, AOL instant messenger ads I block because they have video and freaking audio too thats just out of line. Those flash ads that cover the site you're trying to look at are obnoxious too but I can tolerate them because i see them rarely.

    In magazines I can't stand the ads that "stand out" by being of thick, extra stiff paper or goddamn beer coasters or something that get in the way of flipping through magazines.

  7. wires suck on Apple Releases Multi-Button "Mighty Mouse" · · Score: 1

    they gone from wireless back to tangled cords?
    that's a step backwards, people. Its the same reason why i won't try the Vertical Mouse.

  8. Re:hmm on $99 Linux Handheld with WiFi for Instant Messaging · · Score: 1

    the treo650 hack to run the wifi card last i read requires a hard reset to switch from using wifi to using your mobile carrier's data services.

  9. Re:Integrated pointing stick-keyboard not reviewed on Top Mice Compared · · Score: 1

    IBM/Lenovo actually make pc keyboards like that
    http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/accessories/keyboards.htm l
    Check out the keyboards with "Ultranav," they have the pointing nipple and touchpad which makes the keyboard kind of big. There are a couple of older models with just the pointing stick but i think you can only find those on ebay now. Search for "trackpoint space saver"

  10. Re:Left-handed model? on Nokia's Linux Handheld · · Score: 1

    this is slashdot, write some software to flip the screen orientation!

  11. Re:Who'da thunk it? on Sun Storms Deplete Ozone, Too · · Score: 1

    who cares what environmental changes happened BEFORE man walked the earth? We should be worried about environmental changes that happen while we walk the the earth because a "re-organized" earth probably won't have human's walking it anymore either.

  12. Re:Youse Guys are giving me a on Episode III Opening Crawl Released · · Score: 1

    Corporal Punishment!

  13. Re:Knoppix - a lifesaver on True Stories of Knoppix Rescues · · Score: 1

    often i find myself fixing windows for people and it would be helpful to me if you could tell us where this special hiddeny copy of the uh.. system hives... I'm not joking, i assumed you meant files but looking at my keyboard there doesn't seem to be any easy way to mistype hives when you intend to type files.

  14. Re:It's allways a refreshing thing to see... on Sin City Trailer · · Score: 1

    Is anyone else bothered that Devon Aoke is in like 30% of the trailer but gets no onscreen credit, while they flash Nick Stahl and Josh Hartnet's mugs just long enough to show their names?

  15. Re:This is not the first time on Arthur C. Clarke Reports From Sri Lanka · · Score: 1

    yeah i think if the last time it happened was in the 2nd century BC, this can count as the first time as far as we're concerned

  16. Re:Only a 1 on the coolness scale on Homebrew Digital Picture Frame w/Remote · · Score: 2, Informative

    +5 funny but there's really no elegance to this frame, he just ripped open the lcd clamped a frame to it and then flipped the laptop on its keyboard.

    this one is much nicer

  17. Re:Google search on Mathematics and Sex · · Score: 1

    i didnt search because I knew one of you would do it for me!

  18. Re:Camera in the woods on Why You Should Never Lose Your Digital Media · · Score: 1

    how about links to the forum threads?

  20. Re:Saw a guy on the subway with a 17" Powerbook on The Urban Geek As A Mugger Magnet? · · Score: 1

    yeah every day i see like 6-7 ipods on my commute and just on the people near me on the subway.

  21. Re:Smashing, baby on Growing Teeth with Stem Cell Technology · · Score: 1

    this is modded funny but Tom Cruise's teeth were pretty messed up until recently. I remember when he was promoting Minority Report, he went on Leno and had braces on.

  22. Automatic Internet2 connections on Internet2 Plus P2P Equals... · · Score: 3, Informative

    During my last year of University the network was so bogged down with p2p traffic (or so they told me) that it was a nightmare trying to download any kind of large file. Suddenly it felt like I was on dialup again. The only way to get a decent speed file transfer was from someone at another Internet2 connected school. My understanding was that any connection between 2 schools that were on Internet2 would automatically use the faster other pipe.

  23. This reminds me of ebooks on Downloaded Music Gets More Expensive · · Score: 1

    I've looked into ebooks before and most of the time the ebook costs more than the real book does. I just don't get it.

  24. Re:Another good site for cancelled comedies/toons on Retro Vision · · Score: 2, Informative

    another site worth looking at for nostalgia is X-Entertainment.com. When I first discovered this site I spent hours reading the articles about all the crap i had/watched when I was a kid.

  25. Re:10-8 hours of charge? on Build Your Own iPod Battery · · Score: 3, Interesting

    more recent sony discmen (discmans?) have insane battery life as do the md players, at least in the higher end units. my old discman could get 50+ hours on a pair of AA and my minidisc player gets 30+hours on one AA easy.
