  1. Great on Engineering An End to Aging · · Score: 1

    I already live in Florida. Like I need a billion MORE old people.

  2. Easy to fix on Playing Games While Not Ruining Your Relationship? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Get your GF to play.
    It doesn't matter how, take her through the char creation if you must. Chicks dig that. Thats how I got my SO into DAOC. Once she saw the cute little elf girl she just had to play. YMMV

    If she ends up playing it she loves you. Otherwise, dump her she's not worth it lol.

  3. ummmm. on Use Multiple Channels for Faster Wireless Networking · · Score: 1

    Good lord talk about interference. The FCC ought to be having a heart attack. Imagine if Ford designed a new SUV that took up three lanes of traffic...

  4. Static on wallets? on Do Your $20 Bills Explode In the Microwave? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I believe there is an issue with certain types of wallets. Eelskin wallets can erase your credit cards. Perhaps this has something to do with it? Don't the RFID scanners scan for magnetism? Wait, this debunks that theory.

  5. Duh on Crack the Pepsi iTunes Promo Code · · Score: 1

    My sister and I have been using this method to get free sodas every time one of the soft drink makers have a promotion. She "cracked" the soft drink solution about 9 years ago. Hundreds of free drinks later, we've saved a couple of hundred dollars.

  6. mmm..... on India Woos Medical Tourists · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Free squishee with your liver transplant... mmmm hepato-licious.... agggggggghhhhhhh!!!!

  7. Re:Mythic? on Mythica MMORPG Cancelled By Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Aye! Except the games not called Mythic. It's called Dark Age of Camelot. The COMPANY that released the game is named Mythic. Currently going thru some issues as Mythic swings the nerfbat unfortunately.

  8. OT I know on GEOS Available for Download After 18 Years · · Score: 1

    But while we're talking about C= stuff...
    Anybody remember AOL's predecessor Quantum Link?
    How about the remarkable terminal program that turned 40 columns to 80 columns AND offered ANSI color to boot "Novaterm"?

  9. CPU Load? on Linux Duracell CPU Load Monitor · · Score: 1

    This isn't CPU load silly Duracell! Its just a fancy ammeter!

  10. LOL on A New Face For Robotics · · Score: 1

    Let the Flubber jokes FLY!

    (Professor Frink comes to mind...)

  11. Will this be an end to a decent browser? on Opera Browser Creators Planning IPO · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I hope some other multinational conglomeration doesn't steamroll over them and buy them out.

    I fear the day when google goes public. It will be the end of usable websearching as we know it. (Hides from the corporate whores jumping up and down and foaming at the mouth)

  12. lol on Which Screw Goes Where? · · Score: 1

    Article currently redirects to a hosting companies site...
    Wow! did we slashdot it back to oblivion or what?

  13. Re:Cars... on Worst Cars Of All Time Rated · · Score: 1

    The show was called "Woops!" The main character survived because he was in a Volvo. The other characters survived for different reasons.
    One (Alice) survived because she was in her bookstore basement which used to be a bomb shelter in the 1960's.
    Curtis survived because he was in the vault of his brokerage.
    Jack was living under the Interstate.
    Suzanne just 'survived'
    Fred was in the morgue.

  14. Re:not as bad as it sounds. on Spirit Rover Communications Error · · Score: 1

    I would hope that some kind of watchdog is built in.

  15. Re:Oh where can I find.... on Hall Of Technical Documentation Weirdness · · Score: 1

    I had that sticker. I put it in the bathroom in my house. That same bathroom had a generic restaurant style unisex bathroom sign on the outside. And I had an "employees only" sign on my bedroom door. We also had the big yellow janitor style mop bucket with the wet floor sign.

  16. Re:Release date on MS Says Longhorn To Arrive 2005 · · Score: 1

    hmmm MS also integrated Messenger into XP. We don't see that cutting into AIM's market share even a little bit.

  17. Re:Consistancy vs. Paranoia on The Day The Music Died: Windows Media and DRM · · Score: 1

    Isn't this MS's vision for Passport?

  18. Re:T68 vs. T68i on Sony-Ericsson Starts US$5M Astroturf Campaign · · Score: 1

    I believe the t68 will not support the camera, but the t68i will.

  19. Broward County meetup on Slashdot Readers Visit Meatspace · · Score: 1

    I sure didn't go - seeing as everybody (EVERYONE) wanted to go to sawgrass. Somehow (meetup probably had a kickback) Corner Pocket Billiards (WAY on the other side of the county, and not in the best neighborhood) got chosen as a venue. BS as far as I'm concerned. That site is stupid...

    Chipper
    who the heck chose corner pocket billiards, I won't be visitng Wilton Manners. Sawgrasswas a better idea.

  20. Re:Well... on Data Mining, Cocaine and Secrecy · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Hey get a job at my place, the software writers can get whatever they want. They figure IT = lowly computer repairmen. I have a crap p2-233 to work on (running nt4). Software writers have the 2.2ghz P4's with xp and a geforce 3. Seriously, we get no respect.

  21. Re:They did too much and not enough. on Geeks and Chefs, Unite · · Score: 1

    Broward County, FL. PublixDirect is the best service anybody has ever invented. IT MUST NOT FAIL! Lest I be forced to actually go to the grocery store to get my food.

    A device like this would be neat because it would probably change the way people cook. (now how long was I supposed to cook the meat for?) {walks over to fridge and looks it up}

    Oh yeah, and the nerd factor too. (wonder if theres any beer left?) {Instead of walking your fat ass over there you can bring up the web interface and see that there is indeed a beer left, saving a useless trip with no beer at the end}

  22. Forward all our hotmail spam to abuse@hotmail.com on Microsoft Opts-In Hotmail Users · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hey why don't we: Forward all our hotmail spam to abuse@hotmail.com? I know we'll get cut off after a few emails, but if all of slashdot does it.... Lord knows we slashdot websites left and right... We'd have to get it with outlook or OE, or for those brave hearted and determined enough to do it manually from the website: (god love em). If we all send a few emails their way, they will be punished rather well.
    Oh yeah, and subscribe abuse@hotmail.com to all the gay porn you can...

  23. ugh on States Drop Planned Presentation of Modular Windows · · Score: 1

    One question. Why? Wouldn't this seem to be the keystone in the case?

  24. Re:Wow on HP/COMPAQ Publishes OS/product Roadmap · · Score: 1

    hmmm, have a look one day at the front of the drive caddies.... They're usually right there. You only need to undo those screws, and put them into a drive, and what do ya know, a perfect fit for a new hard drive. Oh yeah, and in the 815 models, I've managed to get four drives in a Deskpro EN SFF. One in the floppy bay, (who needs it?), one in the cdrom bay with an adaptor, one in the regular hard drive spot, and one in the back in a static bag laying on the motherboard. Needed hella splitters though... Good cpus them deskpros. (if a bit quirky)

  25. Re:Uh oh... on Cyclic Universe a Possibility · · Score: 1

    Aye. Touche. We are absolutely bound by our creators (if he exists), decision to include, or not include the raw materials we need. That we cannot help. We must synthesize that which we don't have. In reality, this only delays us, since we will ultimately figure out how to make the raw materials ourselves if it is that important.
