  1. heres why it jumps on Why Do Google Hit Numbers Vary? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    google employs a sreach spider called the freshbot. the freshbot spiders constantly, looking for new content, and periodically injects those results into the search engine listings at the data center. these results drop and return sometimes.

    chances are your site was freshbotted, dropped, and re-catalogged. it could also be a result of the 'dance' at the end of each month when google is updating its search results. rankings fluctuate alot at that time.

  2. if 1000 slashdot readers jump on the car on Buy a Moller SkyCar Prototype on eBay · · Score: 3, Funny

    will it come down as fast as the server came down when 1000 slahsdot readers jumped on it?

  3. Interview: The Salem Bitch Trial on Hilary Rosen Will Step Down As RIAA Head · · Score: 3, Funny

    How long have you been a bitch?
    Why are you a bitch?
    What evil made you a Bitch? ...

  4. for those who dont want to take up a slot on Nvidia Talks About Next-Gen Geforce, Plus Pics · · Score: 1

    perhaps its time for a case/tower that has openings in the back ala the normal ones that we are used to... but the top 2 slots are meant to be used with a card like this.

    anticipating rear exhaust/cooling, the 2nd to top lines up with a slot, and the top one just has the cut in the back, in case you have a card that needs it.

    chances are youll only have one card that uses a dual slot, and that leaves the rest to be used normally.

    the people who always put the big ass power supply at the very end of the strip so the rest of the plugs can be used will understand what im talking about :)

  5. aol gave me the net on Case to Step Down from AOLTW · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    my first website was a horrible thing i made on AOLpress some 12 years ago.

    it was the place I got my first email address, and learned about chat rooms, browsers, and what the net was.

    AOLpress has been replaced by dreamweaver, and i now design some fortune 500 websites, am a SEO professional, and the web has given me a very easy life doing smart work that I enjoy.

    Im not entirely sure I'd be doing what I'm doing, making good money at it, and enjoying my life they way I am if that 'easy to use' window had not been opened for me years ago to spark my interest.

  6. scary quote? on Inside Symantec's 'Security Center' · · Score: 2, Flamebait

    oh no, bush wants to protect our tech infrastructure.

    is everything the government wants to do automatically bad here? how about the idea of someone protecting our infrastructure.... good!

    the little additions every editor always skews the hell out of the conversation.

    What if the headline read, "Bush administration finally takes internet security seriously and forms unit to protect infrastructure". Wow, now its good.

    If i said they were using linux, youd be writing Bush thankyou letters.

  7. Re:Ask yourself... on Where are the 70% Efficient Solar Cells? · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Why haven't you built one of these things? Chances are that's the same reason that they haven't yet been built."

    90% of slashdot just simultaneously realized that these solar panels havent been developed because they are too busy looking at porn and playing warcraft.

  8. Re:PS3 - Start of a new battle of consoles or PC's on Playstation 3 Gathering Components · · Score: 3, Interesting

    maybe someone can expand on this, but I believe for import and export purposes, the definition of game console and personal computer becomes a financial issue.

    that may play into the decision to market it one way or another.

  9. Re:not fake... seems real. on The Joystick Is The Root of All Evil · · Score: 2

    nice research.... definitely fake. they certainly ont get sarcastic though.... maybe they will later when theyve built up a body of members who think its real.

  10. not fake... seems real. on The Joystick Is The Root of All Evil · · Score: 2

    This site seems a little bit away from the sarcasm line that lets someone know they arent serious.

    While it may seem blatantly obvious here on slashdot that this 'MUST' be fake or trying to be funny, im not so sure it is.

    and remember, when people who read slashdot say video games aren't addictive and this site is ludicrous, its like asking the local crackwhore if drugs are addicitive.... you may be getting a skewed result.

    People here spend more time as a keeper of the grove than father, son, or 'ever' as a boyfriend. :) (a little sarcasm)

  11. spectator sport? on Computer Attack and Defense As Spectator Sport · · Score: 4, Funny

    if they have trouble with video game tournaments getting mega-popular, i cant imagine how hard it will be to promote the local ghost white chubby kid typing away at a command prompt.

    "wow, he typed a string of commands... the crowd hushes"

  12. Re:It will eventually stop working... on Ultimate Webcam: Rent Time On A CCD Telescope · · Score: 2

    what good are big ass telescopes if you cant see some clouds coming?

  13. in related news... on Ultimate Webcam: Rent Time On A CCD Telescope · · Score: 3, Funny

    the earth aimed telescopic camera pointed at my neighbors window is still for rent at a much cheaper $29.95 an hour.

  14. some sort of paradox... on Project Entropia's Universe Solidifies · · Score: 5, Funny

    in the game can i buy a character that will go, buy a computer, with my real money in his virtual world, then play a stupid game he has to pay for in the game with his 'real' money... that he can pay for his damn self, because ill be dammed if some game character is going to bum a dime off me after i paid for him to exist.

    stupid leech characters.

  15. incidentally, that article is the exact same one on Clothes Make the Network · · Score: 5, Interesting

    that the "borg weekly" ran 250 years ago.

  16. can soderberg depart from himself? on Solaris: Another View · · Score: 2

    this is lame.

    the same way that everything that a human is "natural" because we are humans and part of nature, soderberg cannot depart from things that are soderberg.

    you just havent seen this before.

  17. you can use the songs in spite of editor comment on Gateway to Ship PCs with Pre-Installed DRM Music Files · · Score: 4, Insightful

    " including a 90-day free subscription to the service that contains 2,000 songs preloaded and available for streaming and downloading."

    editor should have read the article.

    also, my cable box comes with the ability to recieve all of the channels too, whats the legal implication there?

    my car comes with the ability to do 150mph, but the chips lets me go to 120... whats the legal wrinkle there?

  18. this is becoming just like the metric system on Sony To Package StarOffice On European PCs · · Score: 2

    everyone else uses metric, it may be better... but the US will still use MS products, and the rest of the world will have to deal with it because we are who we are, for better or worse.

    amen.

  19. the lesser known "Teen Amnesty Regional" on Amnesty Calls Shenannigans on MS, Sun, Cisco · · Score: 2, Funny

    is suing those very same corporations for selling this techology to parents to filter out porn.

  20. if ya cant find the time to update the bbs records on BBS Links Database Back Online · · Score: 2

    dont forget you can always use the time other people would be using to interact with other life units via voice commands.

  21. Re:Talk to the Right People. on Verizon Sues to Stop Privacy Rules; Wants to Sell Call Data · · Score: 2

    Lets buy these guys phone numbers from Verizon. I wouldn't be suprised if we could....

    "Mr James R Barker, this is verizon... our tracking system is showing alot of phone calls to your cell phone.... about 10,000..."

  22. you cant compare a computer and a brain!!! on IBM Working on Brain-Rivaling Computer · · Score: 2

    its like comparing apples and brains.

    think about that for a second, mac fans.

  23. The French can't stop the segway... on Segway HT Starts Selling · · Score: 2

    the segways are coming in, and they will accept them, even welcome them.

    just get a few germans to drive them in, no prob. they will probably even have a parade.

  24. actually very real... on Bradley Trainer Support in MAME 0.62 · · Score: 2

    "The other tanks do not fire at you, and the only way to end the game is to run out of ammo or shoot a 'friendly' tank or helicopter"

    So, uh, this is a faithful simulation of actual American war fighting methodologies?
    -----

    the way the persian gulf war went down, the other tanks rarely got a chance to fire at all, and there were more friendly fire incidents than enemy deaths.... so, yeah. :)

  25. and if id ever got to the point on Microsoft Profit and Loss by Business Area · · Score: 5, Insightful

    where for some reason they needed to compete with linux on the desktop.... how hard would the linux sell be when windows is 45 bucks...
