  1. So Pirates have their Interests Protected... on The Pirate Bay Takes Over Anti-Piracy Domain · · Score: 5, Funny

    What about those of us who are ninjas? Where is our coalition for the protection of our interests?

  2. Re:Unions are anti-competitive on SBC CWA Strike Imminent · · Score: 1

    According to the contract that the CWA has with Cingular Wireless union members are not allowed to go on strike as long as the contract as in effect.

  3. Re:Sound in space? on ISS Fender Bender · · Score: 2, Informative

    Sound doesn't travel in a vacuum due to a lack of matter to vibrate through. If something impacted the hull the sound waves would be transmitted through the hull and through the atmosphere inside the space station.

  4. Scotty on Star Trek Enterprise Tested to Mach 5 · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that Scotty had more insight than Kirk in pushing the N.C.C 1701 Enterprise to the limits?

  5. Re:This Is All Wrong on Personal Submarine for 845k · · Score: 1

    If you would've read a little bit further you would have seen that it says approximately 4-6 knots. So 5 knots would be appropriate.

  6. Re:gravity doesn't matter? on Writing in Space with a Cheap Ballpoint Pen · · Score: 2, Funny

    Because after five minutes you feel dumb and opt for a horizontal surface?

  7. Promoting Competition on FCC Still Pushing for Number Portability on Nov. 24 · · Score: 1

    So some of the cell companies like Verizon Wireless are arguing that this will increase costs while decreasing competition. All I can see come by this is increased competition. The company with the best network and/or customer service will be the one that comes out on top. Cingular has the 'best' network out here in southern Louisiana. At least that is what most people think. I use a Verizon Wireless phone that is supposed to be one of the 'worst' networks out here and I generally have better coverage. Cingular is lagging behind in network technology as they still do not have a 3G network. I see companies like Sprint, Verizon, and AllTel picking up a lot of customers and services like T-Mobile and Cingular losing a good bit of customers.

  8. Re:[OT] reloaded sucks on Final Matrix Set for Synchronous Release · · Score: 1

    The hype has you! Otherwise you might have slowed down and hit the enter key, or *gasp* the preview button!

  9. Re:what after revolutions on Final Matrix Set for Synchronous Release · · Score: 1

    What are you not a LOTR fan? That would add what like 2 weeks to your life?

  10. Re:Didn't Congress told FTC to do it? on U.S. Court Blocks Anti-Telemarketing List · · Score: 1

    Actually if you go back and look at the Constitution there is nothing in there about the Judicial system except that it is mentioned. There are no outlining roles that it plays or what exactly it should do. This is because the founding father were not exactly sure what they should do to make a fair and balanced court system. It's kinda like we are running on an imperfect interim government. Too bad no one has the balls to get out there and change the way the system works before they become corrupted by its ways.

  11. Dammit on New Slashdot T-Shirts On Sale Now · · Score: 5, Funny

    As if I already can't do any work around here anyway without pausing to check on /. no I can wear it. Now if only we can make it update itself with the latest headlines...

  12. No Idea on More on SCO Code Snippets · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So now they admit that they had no idea about the validity of their own claims. Why is this not surpising?

  13. Re:Expensive on Hybrid/Electric Vehicles: Should I Buy? · · Score: 1

    I have a friend who spent $700 on a 1987 Honda Civic CRX Si. It gets 46mpg on the highway running premium and 38mpg in stop and go traffic. If you need a lil bit of power to pass or take off into traffic, it likes to lay rubber on the road ;)

  14. Poor Canadians... on Global Warming To Leave North Pole Ice-Free · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    NOw they won't be able to go outside in a 100 years or so and get fresh ice the way nature intended it. Maybe by that time no one will care since will we claim to be mother nature, or at least her creator.

  15. Water Cooling.... on Aquarium Modcase · · Score: 1

    NOw as long as you have the fake fish in there, why not turn it into some kind of repository for all of the hardcore overclockers out there that water cool their processors. The you would have a wicked cool case mod and a fairly large water resovoir for all your water cooling needs. ;)

  16. Re:Transition from 3.5" to 2.5"? on Next Wave Of Hard Drive Tech: Perpendicular Recording · · Score: 1

    This is all a marketing ploy. You see, with a smaller platter the drive turns more rpms say 10,000rpm than the larger 3.5 drive at 7,200 even though both of them still have the same speed on the inside of the platter.

  17. Motorway speeds? on High Speed Travelator · · Score: 1

    Where does it mention motorway speeds? It mentions that the second stage moves up to 9km/h and that it will probably be used mostly for distances of less than 1km.

  18. Cluster on Contiki on Ethernut · · Score: 1

    Well if this works on a C64, does that mean if i can get the network thingy that connects the floppy drives together and make a cluster out of these that can withstand a slashdotting?

  19. Category 3? on W32.Sobig.E@mm Worm Spreading Rapidly · · Score: 1

    Why exactly has this been updated to a category three virus if all it does is copy itself and mail it out to every e-mail address that it can find and not do anything? I mean c'mon in the last three days i have gotten a few of these mails labeled Re:Movie and I'm not quite stupid enough to open this. Almost, but not quite.

  20. This is gonna be worse... on Pioneer's Wearable Computer Jacket · · Score: 5, Funny

    than a yuppie driving down the road talking on a cell phone. Can you imagine someone talkin on a phone, typing emails, while trying to drive and drink coffee? God help us all.

  21. Re:So Basically... on Defense Dept. Memo Explains Open Source Policy · · Score: 1

    well that answers my Q. yes i do realize that i am replying to an AC post.

  22. So Basically... on Defense Dept. Memo Explains Open Source Policy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So basically this policy says that if you use OSS then you have to follow the licensing that went with it. What happens if it was sensitive code and it could be detrimental(sp?) if you released the source? Do you still have to do it or is that an exception in the GPL?

  23. Re:doesn't seem like a bad idea... on GoboLinux Rethinks The Linux Filesystems · · Score: 1

    No linux user names are not limited to 8 characters, at least in my experience with a few distros I've been able to set them up to at least 12 chars.

  24. Tex Avery on That's All Folks: Chuck Jones RIP · · Score: 1

    I didn't see this name brought up, but Tex Avery IMHO was the greatest cartoonist ever. He came up with Drropy, Spike, the Wolf who always chases around the ladies that Tex drew. Tex was also the first one to have the eyeballs pop out of a charactor's head when they were surpised/scared. Do not forget Tex.

  25. Ridiculous on FTC and JD Holding Hearings on IP · · Score: 1

    Ok so some of the patents out there are absolutely ridiculous. Maybe the should hire some people who aren't brain dead governement employees to look through the patent applications and reject the applications that are blatantly stupid. I mean come one. Who needs to be able to patent a sandwhich that the crust was cut off of and sealed in a ziploc bag?
