  1. Sell dude on What To Do When a Megacorp Wants To Buy You? · · Score: 1

    Life is short...

  2. Re:I'd disagree. on Broadband to Kill Off DVD? · · Score: 1

    P.S. Not quite?

  3. Re:The Jig is Up on Build Your Own PBX · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Wish I had mod points cause that's the funniest thing I've read on Slashdot in a while.

  4. Re:Sports Guy on ESPN.com Page 2 on The Dot Com Super Bowl · · Score: 3, Informative

    Don't know why you posted AC... love the Sports Guy and I'm sure a lot of other slashdotters do as well.... the site looks cool, if a bit bare bones.

    If any mods are fans as well, mod parent up. If you aren't, well start reading the Sports Guy!

    Sports Guy's World

  5. Re:Curious about timing on The Man Who Knew Too Much · · Score: 1

    I assumed he meant this question:

    "wouldn't it have already been leaked somewhere that there was a guy whose streak went for x episodes?".

  6. Re:Curious about timing on The Man Who Knew Too Much · · Score: 1

    Following your astute advice, I read the articles. The man's question is not answered anywhere.

  7. Re:Why can't Quebec people participate ? on Google Code Jam 2003 Announced · · Score: 1

    This is a question that has puzzled me for years. Contests throughout the Internet be they from the United States or based in Canada will exclude Quebec most of the time.

    I've asked all kinds of people but I can never get an answer. Perhaps Quebec has some dumb law which requires contest rules to be bilingual or something?

    It is quite a piss off.

  8. Some info on Gail Cooke on Should You Trust Website Customer Reviews? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Might explain why she reads so much....

    Name: G. Cooke
    Nickname: pagebypage
    E-mail: grospoin@aol.com
    Reviewer Rank: 8
    About me: So many good books, so many wonderful things....so few hours. For me, reading and trying is sheer pleasure, a boon companion, and sometimes work as reviewing is my profession. I hold membership in the National Book Critics Circle, and write for newspapers across the U.S. Thanks to all who have expressed an interest in my reviews, and thanks to Amazon for providing a forum in which we can exchange ideas.

  9. Re:Shiney?! on Bite My Shiney PC-Metal Game · · Score: 2

    Pretty sure he's talking about reverence as opposed to reference.

  10. Will be worth it just for the one-liners on Firefly Premieres Tonight · · Score: 5, Funny

    Keep in mind the best line from X-Men was Whedon's...

    "How do I know it's you?"

    "You're a dick."

    "Okay."

    Or something like that....

  11. CmdrTaco's Beautiful Mind Hunting on De Niro Seeks Science-Oriented Film Scripts · · Score: 4, Funny

    I can just see it, DeNiro sitting in some basement in Michigan or wherever and writing some illegible code for an hour and a half...

    The romance is there with the infamous Valentine's Day Proposal.

    Hemos is the "good buddy"...

    This is gold.

  12. There will be.... on 2002 ICFP Programming Contest · · Score: 5, Informative

    From the FAQ:

    Q1: Will a test server be available?
    A: Yes, stay tuned...

  13. Careers? on Snort Creator Makes Good · · Score: 5, Informative

    Clicked on Careers and don't see anything for Linux zealots...

    Technical Writer and Marketing Manager don't quite fit the bill.

    Am I looking in the wrong place?

  14. Hey Timothy! on NVidia announces Cg: "C" for Graphics · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hey Timothy.... go to your preference page and UNBLOCK all CmdrTaco stories.... this way you can see what he posted and not post it yourself.
    I know some of his stories suck but it's for the good of all of us.

    You can keep Katz stuff blocked.

  15. Haha..... on Walmart Ships PCs with Lindows OS · · Score: 3, Funny

    Legions of rednecks killed me!

    You know you're a redneck if: you run Lindows on a WalMart PC.

  16. Re:Kind of ironic... on The Almighty Buck · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    And the other half use malda@slashdot.org/CmdrTaco.

  17. Unemployed but nice nails on The Almighty Buck · · Score: 5, Funny

    An unemployed person gets a WEEKLY manicure and pedicure? Excuse me... weekly!?

    And that gives her an hour a week when she can feel normal? NORMAL?

    You are far from normal lady!

  18. Re:Spider-Man, Spider-Man on Review: Spiderman · · Score: 1

    The second one will begin filming in January. Everyone is lined up except for the Osborns (not Ozzy and Sharon!, Norman and Harry).

    Possible villains considered are Doc Ock and The Lizard (who is mentioned quickly in the film).

  19. Re:Spiderman in a nutshell on Review: Spiderman · · Score: 1

    Although you need to click through to get the joke, mod this guy up, it's pretty funny.

  20. Re:Reverse engineering for beginners... on A New Challenge from Honeynet · · Score: 4, Informative

    Here's an interesting link. Not necessarily a guide though.

  21. Re:Windows for dummies. on Michi Henning on Computing Fallacies · · Score: 1

    Somebody mod the parent of this message up, that's some funny stuff.

  22. Differences on On the Differences Between MIS/CIS/CS Degrees? · · Score: 5, Informative

    MIS is business courses with some basic programming added (mostly high level stuff, + web pages and the like.) It's not a CS degree. Most CS people laugh at these people. Sorry but it's true.

    CIS is computer science with general business courses added. The core CS courses will be there but not much specialization in CS.

    Computer Science itself comprises the core courses plus many posible specializations (IS above being one of them). Depending on your preferences you can specialize in different courses; adding some basic engineering courses, or higher level CS courses for example.

    Personally I graduated with a CS degree, speicializing in Software Systems which basically meant all my "specialization" credits were used up with higher level CS courses and math courses.

  23. Difficult on Living in a Linux Embedded World · · Score: 0, Redundant

    In theory using Linux on an embedded system can yield many benefits, but not all are very realistic. Certain applications, such as an MP3 player and manager lend themselves much more easily to the strengths of Linux, but the needs of many embedded devices can be met with something much less complete than Linux and that is what we are seeing in the "real world".

  24. Yahoo on Hacker Tinkering With Yahoo Stories · · Score: 1

    If you are worried about the trustworthiness of your news site, getting your news from a site named YAHOO might be your first mistake.

  25. WMA on What Are Microsoft And Napster Talking About? · · Score: 2

    Maybe they'll try to get Napster to switch from .mp3 to .wma's. Force the user to use their format is always a great strategy.
