  1. Re:Define "new" on Top 10 New Sci-Fi/SF Authors? · · Score: 1

    wait a minute, are you 500 years old? who is this, where are you?

    *runs away*

  2. Re:The author.. on Hacker's Delight · · Score: 0

    but he can't beat me in quake, coming at me with that weak shiznit, i'll have to put the smack down and 0wn3rz dat @55!

  3. Re:loss of business on Killing Others' Malicious Processes · · Score: 1

    the key point is that the machine this guy is attempting to fix is attacking his network, possibly causing him loss of business...I don't necessarily agree with it, but to play devil's advocate, if the bully takes your lunch money every day, and no one will help you do anything about it, maybe it's time you popped him one.

  4. What i want to know is... on Smart Pool Table · · Score: 5, Funny

    How many people didn't read any of the links and went straight for the java pool game???

    sweet. me too.

  5. Re:Rollins VS Danzig on Superhero Smackdown · · Score: 1

    Keep in mind Rollins is well over 6 foot and Danzig is pushing 5 and a half. It wouldn't be fair really. If you had thought about this thoroughly enough, you would come to the obvious conclusion just as I did. Before the fight would even start, Peter Steele of Type-O-Negative would have beaten both of them to a bloody pulp! That guy is a BEAST.

  6. Re:Porn vending machines on Shop Till It Drops · · Score: 5, Funny

    speaking for the entire community, can you tell me a little more about the sex cup please.

  7. Re:Ok I'll bite on 802.11b Urban Network - 3 sq km! · · Score: 1

    Here is what i do know...

    First, it's Americans!!!
    Second, the only time we use the metric system at all is for drugs, and that's just weight measurment. This whole length thing is confusing...

  8. Why do they think... on Coasters to Face G-Force Limits? · · Score: 1

    people ride roller coasters to begin with? I ride to die. The fact that i don't die with every ride is the only dissappointment.

  9. Justification? on Lycoris Linux at ExtremeTech · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure how they are expecting to justify $30 for this product. The review states something about "making the networking easier". I didn't realize this was a problem in linux.? Maybe the wallpaper, icons and docs I could see, but I think the price is a little bit too much for the services rendered. The review looks like it's trying to sell the product rather than tell me why it's something I need to have.

  10. upgrades? on Sega, Nintendo Team Up To Create New Graphics Board · · Score: 1

    The first question that comes to mind is: can you update the current cube with the new board? The more upgrading and tinkering you can do to a gcube, the better chance it has in competing with xbox and p2. I'm not sure how much farther it's game titles can carry it...

  11. Re:Really necessary for a big Sun stamp of approva on The Apache/Sun Relationship Worsens · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's a really good point, however I must stress that when dealing with customers, (at least the ones i've dealt with) that it definitely matters. Most resellers and larger companies only deal with certified software for customers. While the "Sun Approved" stamp doesn't mean much to you or I, it does to that big corporation that has a lot invested in Sun products. From the POV of a large company, knowing that some software is going to be compatible with your large investment gives both a sense of union and a place to turn to in case something goes wrong. Usually this same thing holds true for hardware vendors...

  12. xbox hackability on Xbox To Use Region-Locked Peripherals · · Score: 1

    This definitely wont be an issue for me. I seem to like original controllers with any game unit anyway.
    However...I think one of the most promising features about the xbox as of now, is it's potential to be modded and i'm sure it won't be long before little things like this are overcome.

  13. Re:you never know what might be on your machine... on The Theory of Leech Computing · · Score: 1

    Well no wonder the assistant left, that professor was a little goofy!

  14. honestly.. on Foot-Powered Laptop · · Score: 1, Informative

    I'd have a hard time justifying $150 to recharge a battery with manual labor, when a spare battery can be bought for most devices for a lot less. (especially a cell phone, etc)

    Besides, if i'm away from a power outlet of some sort for THAT long of a time, a nice break from the electronics is appreciated.

  15. my Dell victory! on Do Manufacturers Adequately Support Their Products? · · Score: 0

    I had problems with a 17 inch monitor that i use for work. Dell sends refurbs for warranty replacements. After the _5th_ time, and a bunch of complaining, i got them to replace (over 1 year after i bought it) the 17 inch with a brand new 19 inch of MUCH better quality.

    My suggestion: be Very persistant.

  16. 420??? on Satellite Radio Is Officially Here · · Score: 0

    ($10x12 + $300 makes $420 I'll be putting toward other things.)

    i (cough) bet i know (cough) what other things...

  17. KATZ on A Tale of Two Media:Tragedy and Images · · Score: 0

    Like most of us, I sometimes wonder if Katz's articles shouldn't just be modded "0, Troll" and ignored.

    Apparently it's getting cooler by the day to keep trashing Katz posts. You have the option to NOT read his articles, and you can even configure your /. account that way. Get off the band wagon. If you don't like the post, say so with facts, not by attacking the author's name in your reply.

    Nonetheless, to feel the need to criticize the man for doing his job is the mark of a small man indeed.

    Didn't you just do the EXACT same thing by criticizing Katz for doing his job?? While I don't agree with everything he says, He makes valid points and I enjoy his articles. I'd like to hear your responses and replies to his post. I don't give a rat's ass if you like him or his articles.

    - give a monkey a brain and he'll swear he's the center of the universe...

  18. i've got the tools, what next? on More WTC News · · Score: 0

    i've played numerous hours of ms flight simulator and quake, where do we sign up?

  19. bare minimum ? on Simplicity In the Age Of The GUI · · Score: 0

    also being a minimalist, i wanted to say that one of the biggest examples of simple holding up to the more robust are muds. I think a lot of people still play those things, despite everquest and such...

  20. wrist pains from the MOUSE??? on New Joystick Style Ergo Mouse · · Score: 0

    I think we all know what that wrist pain is realllllllllly from

  21. Re:Innocents.. on More Links And Reports On Terrorist Attacks · · Score: 0

    Give the US more credit. Sounds like you are describing a revenge response by the US that involves killing innocent civilians in hopes that we weed out the bad seeds. We're smarter than that. Any revenge sequence should be slow and methodical: Surgically and carefully executed.
    Reminder that you don't have to kill to get revenge.

  22. Jerusalem post article on U.S. Attack -- More Updates · · Score: 0

    (16:45) BBC: Palestinian group says responsible for WTC attack

    This Jerusalem post article says.

    bad idea. now they're going to build something and break out.

  24. neat on Fighting Fire From the Sky · · Score: 0

    I can think of a million other uses for something cool like that: monitoring heavy traffic, flying inside storms, aircraft radar testing (like testing for wind shearing).

    Anyone know how big it is, what it takes to fly it, or what else they plan on using it for besides natural disaster surveillance?
