  1. blizzard job on Slashback: Disputes, Clones, Audio · · Score: 3, Interesting

    something else I figure is worth posting in Slaskback. But anyways, holy crap, who else saw the banner ad on slashdot for the opening of unix sys. admin. at Blizzard? I wonder who in their HR department gets a bonus for thinking of posting here, nearly guaranteeing getting the best possible applicant.

  2. 'Warm up the warp engines' on Habitable Planets May Be Common · · Score: 2

    Did you not read the recent disscusion about THE rules of relativity?

    Sorry to burst that bubble... ;)

  3. steal their thunder? on 802.11g Hardware Arrives · · Score: 1

    Just give it a month or whenever Linksys releases theirs, and probably at a cheaper price than Buffalo, then boom, the thunder is back...
    (ok, bad pun, sorry)

  4. DMCA on India's Bargain Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    so if the dmca applied to our sanctions, does this mean we could nuke'em?

    So yeah, written up differently, but I think still a repeat if you use the same links for different slashdot stories, that both made the front page!

    Thank goodness I give my money to the local zoo instead of a slashdot subscription, cuz the zoo monkeys do a better job with my money.

  6. almost makes some sense on Is Global Warming Behind Earth's Gravity Shifting? · · Score: 2

    though if you threw in the possibility of being hit by a huge asteroid, then I think it'll all work. Havn't you ever taken a magnet(earth), heated it up (greenhouse) and whacked it with a hammer (asteroid) to have the magnetic polarites get mixed around?

  7. This Space (post) Reserved on Testing an Orange SPV 'Smartphone' · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Please just reply below this for an organized method of tracking all the jokes that are to come from this article, namely, putting smart and Microsoft in the same sentace. Thank you for your time folks, please go about your business.

  8. sheesh... on The Apple Name Game · · Score: 4, Funny

    People fighting over generic names of fruits, whats next?!? people fighting over generic names of holes, like windows???

  9. why waste money... on Equilibrium · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ...on trying to promote a sci-fi film anyways? just let the folks at slashdot know about it! instantaniously all your advertising to your target group is done for you

  10. wrong law? on Retailers Swing DMCA To Stop "Black Friday" Sale Info · · Score: 2

    wouldn't the release of these 'secret' prices beforehand, thus resulting in competitors finding a way to sell cheaper that you, not fall under DMCA laws but something more onlong the line of industrial sabbotage? (or something like that, I wouldn't know for sure).

  11. Putting P2P on Putting P2P To Work · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    that must be a new kind of golf technology that i'm missing out on? Or maybe some new fangled thingy at the putt-putt courses...

  12. other ID's on Registered Traveler ID Initiative · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Seems they haven't gotten the word that ID cards are a bad idea
    I'm sure they said the same stuff back in the day when drivers licences came out, but now everyone has it, if not a drivers licence at least an ID so they can still get their beer.

  13. wait to celebrate? on International Space Station Turns Two · · Score: 2

    do you think we could wait on any annual celebrations untill we actually finish the thing? we still have some work to finish before we can start enjoying ourselfs...

  14. its our money on Microsoft Anti-Trust Rulings Due Tomorrow · · Score: 2

    You and I still don't have to buy anything Microsoft, so we do it ourselfs, get them with our pocketbooks and this administration with our votes.

  15. the makers are: on DivX DVD Players Arrive · · Score: 2

    KiSS DVD Player DP-450

    and on a side note:
    2002-10-27 05:10:41 The new Ultimate DVD player (articles,news) (rejected),
    no really, i'm not bitter...

  16. Proposed: Next-Generation Repeat on Proposed Next-Generation Space Station · · Score: 2

    For already-moderated-discussion and insight, go here

  17. the "demo" pictures on Anoto-based Pens From Logitech · · Score: 2

    i love how they always show pictures of technologies like this where everyone happens to have perfect handwritting, with perfect spacing and tabing so that when it is imported to a PC, it still is decently usable. If i really wrote like that, I'd never have to use a computer. What they need is some kind of active translation like the writting similar on an Newton or Palm Grafiti.

  18. Machines Not Yet Our Masters? on Kramnik Ties Fritz; Machines Not Yet Our Masters · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Is it just me, or did someone forget the current score: Machines (1-0-1), Humans (0-1-1).

  19. Re:What if i dont want it? on Questions for a Lecture on Microsoft's Palladium? · · Score: 1

    so why doesn't geekthings.net work?

  20. jeez on Microsoft Puts SourceForge Clone Into Beta · · Score: 2

    how much free publicity can we give microsoft in one day?

  21. daily camera on Hundreds Spot Fireballs In Colorado, Nearby States · · Score: 2

    I find it amazing that my paper, the Daily Camera could actually merit a post on slashdot.. wow..

  22. Just one? on Laptop Fuel Cells Approved For Air Carriage · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Jim Balcom, Polyfuel's CEO, the US DOT said that a fuel cell designed by his company could be taken into aircraft cabins when it goes on sale because it contains a relatively low concentration of methanol.

    Just one might have a small amount, but what about the person who carries a bag full of them? Initial excuse being that there will be only a few places to get these when they first hit the market.

  23. Seems nice on ATi's All In Wonder Radeon 9700 Pro · · Score: 2

    but its just hard to justify wanting this until Doom III is out and we all know exactly what works well with it.
    but then again, like they say
    If ATI were a Winston Cup NASCAR, we'd say that the company is efficiently firing on all eight cylinders.

    so it better work cuz this is good stuff...

  24. favorite quote on Boston's Big Dig Delayed Because of Programmers? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Larry Bossidy, the just-retired CEO of Honeywell, one of the Dig contractors that may contribute to delayed openings of the tunnel sections, is in town tomorrow to give a speech at the Marriott Long Wharf to promote his new book. The title? Funny you should ask. It's called "Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done."

  25. CowboyNeal on Nokia 7650 Modified to Record Video Clips · · Score: 2

    porn-industry-ready dept.

    Come on, stop the flow...
    CowboyNeal, just the thought of a huge fat geek 'enjoying' his porn on a tiny screen..*shudder*
