  1. Re:Slashvertisement? on Neal Stephenson Returns with "Anathem" · · Score: 1

    Thank you for the heads up on Neal's Star Wars essay. A great little read for first thing in the morning!

  2. Re:They didn't tell him... on Customer Loses Xbox 360 Artwork During Repair · · Score: 1

    When you send in your xbox you get back a different one with a different serial number.

  3. Animate it! on Mapping Google News · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It would be interesting to watch an animation of where the Buzz is over a period of time.

  4. Re:what if the actual peekers were imposters? on Harvard Business School: You Peek, You Lose · · Score: 1

    I suppose that there will be some lawsuits if an applicant was rejected due to an imposter, if no lawsuits then quite possibly no imposters...

  5. Re:[OT] What is GmbH on Mobile Phone with PC running Linux 2.6 · · Score: 1

    My Google Search returned this:

    Web definitions for GmbH
    A German limited liability company.

  6. Re:In Other News on How GPS Is Killing Lighthouses · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How much do you like getting one of those email greeting cards? It's a really big thrill isn't it?

  7. Re:Alberta on University Of Calgary To Offer Course On Spam · · Score: 1

    Are you making a point if so I'm not sure what it is. I've heard Los Angeles has the highest number of Canadians when it comes to America. So what.

  8. Tons of Old P3 Laptops on Multi-Room Wireless Sound System? · · Score: 1

    Do you think you might be able to spare one for me?

  9. Re:Linux community already donates on Gates Pledges $750M to Vaccinate Children · · Score: 1

    I'd be willing to take your wager. You have to remember that this is not the only charity that Mr. Gates' foundation donates money to.

  10. Re:Why flat-panel TVs are selling. on CRTs Still Beat Flat-Panel TVs · · Score: 1

    Yes burn-in was a concern but I won't let it be sitting on CNN for hours at a time. The real kicker came down to the thing costing only $100 more than a 30" LCD. I went with the 42" Plasma and am so far glad I did.

  11. Re:Why flat-panel TVs are selling. on CRTs Still Beat Flat-Panel TVs · · Score: 1

    My new 42" Plasma TV has by far the brightest and clearest picture of any TV I have ever owne. The full screen HD picture from network TV shows and sports is incredible. Besides these factors the way it looks in my living room is phenomenal. I think before any one complains about these TV's being hype they should come over to my house and watch for a few minuties.

  12. Re:lost jobs... on Last Manufacturer of Pro Analog Audio Tape Closes · · Score: 1

    Yeah well I won't be too sympathetic when you lose yours.

  13. Light it up on Running a Server at Freezing Temperatures? · · Score: 1

    I might be tempted to put it in a box with a 25 watt light bulb. I think this would be sufficient to keep the ambient temperature above freezing.

  14. Re:Too early. on Internet Televison Content Coming of Age · · Score: 1

    The latest figures I saw indicate that most households in Canada now have broadband connections.

  15. Re:Easy Solution on DDoS Extortion Attempts On the Rise · · Score: 1

    Later in the story :

    "One of the first British firms to be targeted, CanBet Ltd., had turned to the Hi-Tech Crime Unit in the fall and agreed to send traceable money to a list of names in Latvia provided by the extortionists. The unit sent a team to watch the pickup spots, along with local police, and the crew was alarmed to see the Latvians pick up cash sent by other businesses around the world."

    My point was that it wasn't just Russians.

  16. Re:Easy Solution on DDoS Extortion Attempts On the Rise · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Unfortunately Lativa is not in Russia.

  17. Re:Best Calendaring out there... on Evolution 2.0 Released, Screenshots · · Score: 1

    I havn't been able to sync my Palm yet either. I'm running a dual boot system but lately I'll just stay in windows running firefox, it's not from a lack of trying either.

  18. Re:Slashster - Thank you Slashdot on Orkut Goes Dark, At Least For A Bit · · Score: 1

    I guess the point of the site is to meet friends. As opposed to meeting strangers. I don't have any friends there so I'll be meeting no one.

  19. Diskmix automation on What's the Oldest Hardware You are Still Using? · · Score: 1

    We daily use our diskmix automation for our Neotek recording console circa 1986 or so. The computer we are running the software on is I think a 386. Newer computers are to quick for the software.

  20. Re:This is what started this whole thing... on SARS Contained · · Score: 1

    There havn't been any massive celebrations here in Toronto once we were taken off the list as far as I can tell. The planned Rolling Stones concert is to help get the tourists coming back again. Sure we are relieved to be off the list but massive celebrations, I don't think so.

  21. Re:Microsoft on Are Rebates Scandalous? · · Score: 1

    I recieved my rebate for Age of Empiers II and Flight Simulator 2002 in the time they specified. I felt good too depositing the cheque from microsoft. I have also got rebates on some compact flash memory from Compusmart here in Canada and a $50 rebate on my Legend GPS from Garmin. Rebates have tipped the balance toward buying products for me several times.
