  1. Re:Dell Latitude C400, for one... on What to Seek in an Older Subnotebook? · · Score: 1

    This is as old as you want to go if you want good value. I picked up a C400 for $10 that just needed a new stick of ram. I put in a 2200bg and 512mb of ram, and can just about get real work done with it. Fantastic machine.

  2. Re:Obligatory Quote on If Windows Came to PPC, Would You Switch? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yeah, how dare somebody suggest sullying Windows like that! >:(

  3. Re:Taking RFID to a new level? on U.S. Offers $50 Download · · Score: 1

    It's not funny, it's FARK.com!

  4. Dumb users on Logitech Gives A Mouse A Laser · · Score: 1

    Maybe this will ease the pain when some Idiot User calls his optical mouse a "laser mouse."

    Here's a fun drinking game you and your buddies can play with this article:
    Every time you see the words Technology/Technologies or Innovation/Innovations, take a drink.
    Every time you see a buzzword from above, take two drinks.

    And then don't drive. For a while.
  6. Re:easy workaround on TransGaming Tagging Downloads to Combat Piracy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I would enjoy seeing somebody hiding a trojan in the header of a tarball.

  7. Re:The Future of Television on BBC Begins Open-Source Streaming Challenge · · Score: 1

    You still have a tuner that works in the same way.

  8. Scam your insuance company! on Big Brother In Your Front Seat · · Score: 1

    This couldn't be too terribly hard to fake. Get a BASIC Stamp or Atmel AVR board and build a fake ODBII (it is an "open standard", after all) interface. Write some code that fakes enough of ODBII and generates convincing driving patterns, and you've suddenly lost another loan to Ditech. No, wait, you've suddenly gotten a bonus on your insurance, and can drive as shittily as you'd like! Isn't technology grand?

  9. Well then on SETI@Home Transitions To BOINC · · Score: 1

    It seems as if the source is finally available, but I haven't given the license a good enough look for DFSG compliance. Maybe there will finally be a S@H client that's in Debian's main?

  10. Re:iPod on Copy-protected CD Tops U.S. Charts · · Score: 1

    If youre using an ipod, you are a lot more likely to use music mostly in a digital format.

    So the Compact Disc Digital Audio format isn't digital! Those dirty communist liars and their colored books!

  11. Re:Print it on rolls on SCO Says No Way To a GPL Solaris, Moves Trial Back · · Score: 0

    So you send them their $699 and your additions to the source.

  12. Re:Is it just me... on Atlantis: Discovered at Last? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Watch as we reveal the mystery of Al Capone's glove compartment...

    "AH HA! Road Maps!!!"

  13. Re:who modded that insightful? on The World's Most Dangerous Password · · Score: 5, Funny
    It's factually inaccurate and overly simplistic.

    From page 164 of The Glossary of Slashdot, 2003 Edition:
    insightful (mod); ihn sait fEl
    - Factually inaccurate and overly simplistic.
  14. Re:i agree, www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net on Out of Gas · · Score: 1

    A third WWW? Shit, the first one isn't even done yet!

  15. Linux friendly microcontrollers on Companies Selling Microcontroller Kits? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I've been using the BASIC Stamp Tools for Linux for a while now. It uses the (unfortunately) beerfree parallax pbasic tokenizer so. If you don't want to use the BS, the Atmel AVR series is well supported by open source software, and really fast as well (native code vs. interpreted).

  16. Not quite. on Developers Simulate Macintosh System 7 in Flash · · Score: 1

    I'll be impressed when somebody emulates the hardware in flash/actionscript. Until then, this is just a quirky cartoon.

  23. Interesting way of talking about it. on Sasser Worm Disruption Growing · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The poster called Sasser a virus, then proceeded to give a definition that said it was not a virus. No offense, but was the poster actually reading what he wrote?

  24. Re:4 channels? on Super MP3 Will Feature User Tracking · · Score: 1

    Yes, the word he used in his post.

  25. Re:Paper trail on Open Voting at OSCON · · Score: 1

    Nay. You would have to mess with the results of both the paper and electronic tallys. If you hit only one, the difference from other would raise a flag, and a repoll would be required. If there was only one vote path, there could be no such check.
