  1. AbracadaBra on Microsoft's New Smart Bra Could Stop You From Over Eating · · Score: 1

    But will it be as comfortable as the AbracadaBra, at least once the overheating issues are solved?

  2. Kill the server side on Is RIM's Centralized Network Model Broken? · · Score: 1

    It's bad enough having to manage GroupWare or Exchange, but having to run some horrible RIM BlackBerry enterprise bloatware on them just so BB users can get email is ridiculous.

  3. Llano on AMD Llano APU Review - Slow CPU, Fast GPU · · Score: 1

    Can the llano be tapped for green?

  4. New Number on System Measures Stress In Emergency Callers' Voice · · Score: 4, Funny

    Haven't you heard? Emergency services has a new number. It's 0118-999-881-999-119-7253.

  5. Re:uhhh on Verizon Changing Users Router Passwords · · Score: 1

    IANAL, Even if that is true, the router is rented, so it belongs while he pays his connection. In my country and I think in most countries, a landlord can't enter in any of his rented houses without consent of the people who live there. By your way of thinking Verizon could enter your network even if you protected it, just because they own the router.

    Verizon still owns the router. To use your apartment analogy, just because you rent an apartment, does that give you the right to change out the locks and not give the landlord a copy of the new key?

  6. TowelNet on Berkeley Gets Willow Garage Robot To Fold Towels · · Score: 2, Funny

    We are but towels to the robots, existing only to be folded, and patted neatly into place on a table. Mark this day.

  7. Fuel Economy on Car Glass Rules Could Impair Cell, GPS and Radio Signals In CA · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So to reduce fuel consumption, they're enacting a law that is going to force people to roll down their windows to get cell, radio and GPS signals, therefore increasing drag and fuel consumption? Yay!

    "Developer Exposes Copyright Infringers In My Pants on Twitter"

  9. Re:Peace on CentOS Project Administrator Goes AWOL · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If he wants some time off and some peace & quiet, thats fine. Most people in this case would say 'I'll be gone for X weeks, Mr. Soandso will be covering for me in the interim, and has full access to everything I normally manage.', not just disappear and not return calls or emails.

  10. Re:Holidy Weekend. on Conficker Downloads Payload · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Pudding can't fill the emptiness inside my heart. But it'll help.

  11. Re:Dear Iranian nation on Iran Has Put a Satellite Into Orbit · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just because something has a friendly name like Hope doesn't mean it has entirely benign intentions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smiling_Buddha

  12. Re:DSi's effect on homebrew on Piracy and the Nintendo DS · · Score: 1

    What handheld platform should homebrewers be developing for instead?

    Perhaps the GP2X or one of its related devices?

  13. Re:First Post ? on World's Fastest Net Link 'Used To Dry Laundry' · · Score: 1

    No, it looks weird for me too. Earlier the front page wasn't loading any CSS at all.

  14. 2.0 what? on Deleting Online Predators Act - R.I.P. · · Score: 1, Interesting

    "e-learning 2.0"? Is this a subset of Web 2.0?

  15. Re:WTF is going on? on Are IT Job Titles Getting Out of Control? · · Score: 1

    Replying to this post just to spite you.

  16. Wowzers! on Nuclear Fusion Discovered · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Holy duplicate article batman!

  17. Dear Comcast on Comcast Raises Bandwidth in Shot at DSL · · Score: 2

    Please stop giving me speed increases I haven't asked for, and instead split your billing options into several plans. I don't need 3mb/256k or 4mb/384k. I would be happy with 1.5mb/128k. And please make such a lower speed plan cheaper than your almost $50 a month current rate.

    (I'd go with DSL, but the costs of a land line + DSL service is pretty much on-par with Comcast)

  18. Re:Just Say No To Activation on Valve Cracks Down on 20,000 Users · · Score: 2, Insightful
    If a program requires 'activation' I either don't use it or get a cracked/warez copy. I'll be happy to go back to buying their software when they drop the stupid activation schemes.
    Yes, because pirating the software in protest to their anti-piracy schemes will encourage them to drop activation. Riiiight. How about just dealing with it and getting on with your life, or finding a competing or open source version of the product?
  19. Is this another attempt... on Ekush: A CherryOS For the Windows World? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...at getting purposely slashdotted for the purpose of testing some new server-side app like CherryOS turned out to be?

  20. Re:not too far out: email by phone on Asterisk Open Source PBX 1.0 Release · · Score: 2, Funny

    That'd be great. I could call in and hear festival stumble thru all the spam I have. "horse china The president today announced a new policy. Low cost viagra Can you maintain 4 hours episilon romeo episilon charley tango india oscar november?"

  21. Installing NOT easy on Exploring Linux Desktop Myths · · Score: 1
    Myth #3: It's hard to install software Writers who say it's hard to install applications obviously have a hard time find the "Install and remove software" option under Config -> Start menu, and decided not to learn how it is done but assume it is exactly the same as Windows. It's not, but it's just as easy.
    How does this say Linux is easy to install software on? Installing on Windows is a matter of 1) Insert CD, 2) Enter CD key, 3) Run software (or update drivers for a game). On linux, most of it isn't on CD. You download it. You hope that what you want is in your APT or YUM repository. Barring that, you go to the software's site, and hope for a binary in your distros format. If that's a no-go, you download the source and spend hours tracking down dependancies to compile.

    "It looks like you're trying to fire your gun. Would you:

  25. Re:My Best Buy Horror Story - Still Pending.. on Best Buy Says Customers Not Always Right · · Score: 1

    Setting off the RF sensor at the door or refusing search doesn't constitute probable cause? What would your definition of probable cause be then in this case? You are on private property. By entering the store and shopping, you agree to their policies regarding loss prevention.
