  1. so what happened...the date has passed on Cryptic Code Stumps Experts · · Score: 1

    "The first attempt at cracking the code will take place on Tuesday May 11th at 12pm at Shugborough Estate"

    Its May 15th.... did someone find the grail but it just didnt make the news? Damn, must have been a car chase ont hat night, got pre-empted.

    I love LA!

  2. I have experience with coke hidden in can contests on GPS Cell Phone in Soda Can Form · · Score: 2, Interesting

    i won the really old coke can instant win game, where I opened a can of coke, and a 10 dollar bill popped out of the can, spring loaded and rolled into a tiny holder.

    The can was identical to the others in every way. I could hear liquid sloshing around in it (still does, still have it), it had weight like a full can.... I cant remember if it had a pressurized noise when it opened, but i think it did.

    They can do a good job of hiding contents.

  3. special shoe chip add on for slashdot on A Running Shoe For Agent 86? · · Score: 2, Funny

    has optimization for stomping on ground while playing warcraft, and then quickly switching to walkjing to fridge for mountain dew. also takes into consideration extra fatness.

  4. Re:news for nerds? on Who's Behind the Shower Curtain? · · Score: 1

    it was worthy of my time, it was just off topic.

  5. news for nerds? on Who's Behind the Shower Curtain? · · Score: 3, Funny

    How on earth is this news for nerds, stuff that matters.

    I've been to the coding department.... and trust me, none of them are in danger of going near a shower.

    but seriously, this didnt effect me before, its not going to effect me know. I might hit the curtain with some cleaner next time I scrub the walls, but thats about it.

  7. Re:that giant sucking sound you hear on Andromeda And Mutant X Cancelled · · Score: 1

    decided to check what really did happen.... if anyones interested 9 days ago they began production on a mini series for BG.

    sweet.

  8. that giant sucking sound you hear on Andromeda And Mutant X Cancelled · · Score: 1

    is the combination of the void left by these shows being cancelled and their actual sound as shows just "suck".

    what if all the crap shows got cancelled so they could produce a good one? hmmm.

    btw, whatever happened to battlestar galatica? i thought that had potential.

  9. Re:Dr. Oc on Spiderman 2 Trailer · · Score: 2, Funny

    My memory of the blackout: There I was, computer went down. I didn't Seemed an awful long time till the power came back on and I could log back in.

    Alot of people were worried about me when I check back on the forums. Some peeps on IRC were like "where were you?!?". Gave em a real scare that time!

  11. Re:Backups are legit for some of us... on Mod Chips Up, Game Industry Revenues Down? · · Score: 1

    have you considered, instead of modding your system, installing lord knows what, yadda yadda.....

    putting the discs on a higher shelf?

  14. it will never end. on Hotel Being Sued for Using the Dewey Decimal System · · Score: 1

    "dear dewey guys"

    we have immediately stopped using your system... but much to our horror and dismay, people keep putting the books right back where they got them from. if you would like us to mess em up a bit, let us know.

  15. pirated anime?! on Taiwan Under Cyber Attack from China · · Score: 4, Funny

    Only on slashdot are Civil rights violations mentioned in the same sentence as pirated anime of all things.

  16. Re:Fry's vs. The Rest Of The World on Fry's Electronics - Selling Linux... Or Not? · · Score: 2, Funny

    well linux developers..... that is your real goal.

    when you make this OS so simple the frys guys can sell it..... you have arrived!

  17. actually thats wrong... HEX is fine. on Design Slashdot's New T-Shirt and Win Cool Stuff! · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The hex for the color is the same everywhere, just like pantone is. Because your monitor isnt viewing it the same as I am, doesnt mean that the hex value has changed. In theory, if we calibrated correctly, it would be the same.

    If what you said was true, then every printed brochure with slightly different hue would mean that the "pantone colors" aren't very accurate... you *DO* know that that you shouldn't blame the output medium, right?

    But, just so you can move on, here's the CMYK, cleverly gathered from looking to the right of the hex value in Photoshop:

    C90%
    M42%
    Y55%
    K22%

    He also mentioned the

    R0
    G102
    B102

    Now go make a t-shirt.

  18. They do know! on TiVo Data Collection Ramifications · · Score: 1

    "Thank goodness they still don't know if you went to the bathroom for a break or to the fridge"

    Wrong!
    If you skipped a commercial, they know which one. If the commercials plays... then they know you left to the bathroom or fridge.

  19. Re:Power Source on Future Army Battle Uniforms - Wired, Lethal · · Score: 1

    I saw an article here a while back about material that generates power when it contracts and expands.... power in generated even from the soles of the shoes.

    dont expect in 10 years or so that the same power sources will be used that we have now, or that the military doesn't happen to have something up its power generating sleeve.

  20. dont feel like living here?? on Future Army Battle Uniforms - Wired, Lethal · · Score: 1

    you do realize you'll probably end up living with barbara streisand then?!?!...

    if she ever does hold herself to her word.

  21. Real actual conversation on Trepia! on Trepia: A Buddy List Of Strangers · · Score: 1

    deft: i see you fould this on /. too. i dont see anyone remotely near me on this junk.... you having better results?
    Sepherus: Not really, apparently it adds nearby people then pads your list. There were only about 15k members before slashdotting, so they would be spread pretty thinly
    deft: yeah, i guess. dissapointing. i sure do saee alot of people here that im guessing are the same people id see at a lan party
    deft: what i DONT see are any girls that look like the ones http://www.trepia.com/tour/ there

    deft: unless the have no dick, and cant spell
    deft: oh well, maybe this will get popular and i can start tapping into the local college girls
    deft: ill type something stupid like "OMG YOU GO TO CSUN!!!!"
    Sepherus: A bit of an incentive for getting the software well known ;)
    deft: im off to post flyers att he local colleges
    deft: this is rediculous, not ONE person in california
    deft: and the rest gets populated by people who havent picked a location
    Sepherus: I've got loads :D
    deft: of people in cali?
    Sepherus: I have more CA than you and I'm in the UK :P
    deft: ok, now thats just bunk
    deft: or, if im correct, thats bollocks?
    Sepherus: yep
    deft: did i use that right?
    Sepherus: yep ;)
    deft: gotta shape up my cross-pond slang
    Sepherus: Most of them have left, just someone in LA
    deft: once they add the "block people by sex" everyone dissapears
    Sepherus: lol
    deft: well, i ve designed a system something like this, and i do understand that to get it started, you have to loosen constraints... its hard to build momentum
    deft: id bet that is why they have a notable lack of features for restricting people
    deft: they can see that it would look desolate without the padding
    deft: lol, R00ted just joined.... this is definitely slashdotted
    Sepherus: lol
    Sepherus: The system certainly has potential
    Sepherus: yep :D
    Sepherus: crap, wrong window ;P
    deft: i should just post our conversation on slashdot
    deft: think we'll get modded up this late in the story?
    Sepherus: Perhaps, there may be some moderators in Athe middle of the jungle just waking up ;P

  24. i bet the answer was 42. on Computer Made From DNA And Enzymes · · Score: 1, Funny

    the computer ran a computation, well, quite a few of them, spit out an answer, but because we cant read it, the answer means nothing, since theres no question.

    i bet the answer was 42.

  25. "aesthetic point of view?" on CEE2003: A One-Vendor Trade Show · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Overall I am impressed with the quality Chaintech has put into their products from an aesthetic point of view"

    That should be great for people who leave their boxes open and stare at them like its a TV.

    oh yeah, this is slashdot. my bad.
