  1. "Check your Email" on Fired Via Instant Message · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I knew one guy who got fired over email. His boss called him up and just said "Check your email" and then hung up. In his email was a message that he was fired. The guy did then call his boss and make him explain it though.

    To this day, the phrase "Check your email" has had a whole new meaning to me and others who worked there.

  2. Phone might not be the only thing bugged on Secure Voice Communications While Travelling? · · Score: 0

    Who says the phone is the thing bugged? There could just be bugs in the room so any encryption will be useless. Plus if phone scrambling becomes common they won't bother bugging the phone and go straight to the room. Personally I would just recomend being carefull what I say.

  3. SCO moves overseas on SCO: Code Proof Analyzed, Linus Interviewed · · Score: 0

    After everything that has been stated it is clear SCO has no case. I would be very surprised if the executives of SCO didn't know that. They already seem to be doing the pump and dump with the stock. So who wants to bet they just decide to take an overseas trip sometime before any trial starts?

  4. Re:You could not have exemplified better... on Female Characters - Empowering or Endangering Equity? · · Score: 0

    Maybe, but that's what happens when you work for tech support for a lot of sorority girls. The stereotypes are not always correct, but they are a LOT of the time.

  5. Look at the on that is complaining on Female Characters - Empowering or Endangering Equity? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Look at the pictures of the 2 women the article talks about. The one that thinks games show women in a good light looks ok and the one that is against how women are treated in games is nothing to look at.

    You know the one is just jellous that she isn't hot and can't control men using that.

  6. Re:Too bad on Apple Terminates Safari Seed Program · · Score: 1

    This is not necessarily a bad thing. I know a guy who downloaded a pirate version of Win ME, summited bug reports to microsoft and they gave him a free legal version of the final product. Obviously in their eyes, the more bugs squashed the better.

  7. Re:.edu rocks on Second Episode of The Animatrix Released · · Score: 1

    I can beat that. 1.5 M/s

    Yeah PSU.

  8. Cost on Building Your Own Tablet PC? · · Score: 1

    It is not likely that you will ever find a cheap tablet PC. Parts cost money. Tablet PC's are required to be small and therefore require expensive parts. The screen alown probably is around a $1000. While MS does screw everyone I doubt that the OS is a major factor for the cost as you imply.

    When was the last time you saw a do it yourself laptop kit? The fact you don't basically proves my point. I can't believe that slashdot even posted this question. Oh, wait. I can.

  9. Print/Fax view on Dell start selling PC's with Linux · · Score: 1

    I made two identical machines with the exception of the operating system. Well this is what I thought I did. When I went into the Print/Fax view to confirm that they were identical I found that the Linux machine had 2 processors. Even though there is no option for it the price seems to be as if the machine is a dual processor machine. Dell needs to fix this. When I added a second processor to the NT machine the price for the Linux machine was $20 more than the NT one.
