  1. Slowdot.org? on Google vs. Evil · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Why can I now read the stories posted on /. weeks earlier in paper form? Isn't the point of digital news, that is should be faster than print? I read this story early last week in my magazine subscription, delivered by snail mail.

    Well...atleast I will be able to read it again next week when it is duped.

    Sigh,
    Scott

  2. Re:just don't leave the window open on Google's new toys · · Score: 1, Funny

    Why is this informatative? How did you think it got the webpages? Magicoolge?

  3. Re:Poor Article on IEEE Spectrum Surveys Current Games' AI Technology · · Score: 1

    I agree. I learned nothing from this article. I was expecting a survey of current games' AI. I would be interested to read such a state-of-the-art survey. The closest thing I've seen to such a writeup was in Wired a while back.

  4. Who cares? on Pictures Leaked of 3 new Palm handhelds · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Palm is so inferior to PPC or zarus its sick.
    I can't believe people still buy them.

  6. um....no....it willl suck because.... on Why Magic Online Will Suck · · Score: 1

    Magic: The Gathering was already online several years ago, and you didn't have to pay all the royalties and other bs to get a decent deck. I would still be playing it if it worked on anything but win95.

    More money.

  7. AIM? from friends? on Greene's Grammy Speech Debunked · · Score: 1

    I highly doubt this. They are probably talking about AIMster which, can hardly standup to any arguments against it being a P2P technology.

    If I search for Metallica and I find 7,000 screen names that have those files, are they suddenly my frieds?

  8. Well thats a good idea... on Japan to Allow Human-Nonhuman Mixed Cloning · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    really. it is.
    i can't see anythign going wrong with that.

  9. Closed From the get go on SourceForge Drifting · · Score: 1

    I work for a company that has installed SourceForge locally. This is a great tool and has really been an asset to bringing the open source philosophy inside corporate walls.

    However, to actually get the system up and running was no easy task. And if you ever look at/monitor the "Offsite" forum on SourceForge you would see this.

    The code has glaring omissions that can only be intentional roadblocks for anyone trying to run the code. At the core of the system are a database back-end and a plethora of scripts. The source comes with no information as to how to tie these scripts together (crontab) or no information about how to get the database in a working initial state.

    The only logical conclusion is that this was the equivalent of a shareware version to whet the appetite of would-be customers. The fact that SF was going closed source came as no surprise; it simply was the next step towards removing another alternative to paying for support.

  10. Re:immature and stupid on Jet Lag: 2 Reviews Of "The One" · · Score: 1

    you sir...are a moron.

  11. Re:Dear lord on Jet Lag: 2 Reviews Of "The One" · · Score: 1

    its all about execution.
    do you honestly believe a one-liner can speak towards the quality of a movie?

  12. Re:My $0.02 on Dark Matter Measurements · · Score: 1

    We know the universe is still expanding and not shrinking again as other calculations would indicate should be the case if this were true.

  13. Cool Software using it... on Hucksters, Suckers, and the Cue:Cat · · Score: 1

    Anyone know of some cool sofware programs utilizing this hardware. I collected a bunch of the from various RSs and never got around to writting anything useful.
    I'm aware of the book database...how about a CD inventory..now that would be useful.
