  1. Re:More evidence..... on MP3.com Archive Not Lost (1.7 Million Songs Saved) · · Score: 1

    GBC doesn't charge for just 3 files transfered. More than 3 will cost you.

    I just transfered over some songs and didn't pay a cent! I highly recommend GBC to any musicians out there.

  2. Re:Ummm on 600 PowerMacs Make One DVD · · Score: 1

    I thought Ted Turner already did that.

    :-P

  3. Re:Wrong, the worst part is... on PowerBooks & iBooks Get Speed Bumped · · Score: 1

    I always have one hand on the keyboard, which makes me operate my computer much more quickly and efficiently

    I use a PC w/ 2-button mouse, and I still keep one hand on the keyboard... for alt-tab!!!

    ...allows me to change screens much more quickly and efficiently when the boss walks down the hallway!

    ;-P

  4. Sager Notebooks on PowerBooks & iBooks Get Speed Bumped · · Score: 1

    With regard to laptops... Apple's laptops alwaays come out less expensive.

    Only stupid Apple Fan Boys (tm) would speak in such absolute terms...

  5. Re:A little slow... on AmEx vs. rec.humor.funny · · Score: 1

    Decistance is futile!

    All your ./'s are belong to us!

  6. Don't let it Freeze! on Sapphire: A Liquid That Won't Get Things Wet · · Score: 1

    ...cause then it turns into Ice IX!

  7. Not rocket science... on Clear Channel Plans To Roll Out Digital Billboards · · Score: 1

    ...dude, it's Utah. The bum on the side of the road could probably tell you what 9 out of 10 cars passing have their radios tuned to: one of the several Country stations crowding the airwaves !

    :-P

  8. Re: Here to Learn on What Network Sniffing Tools Do You Use? · · Score: 1

    Amen, brotha!

    I just learned about a secret gang sign for vi that doubles as an advanced sexual pleasuring manuver!

    "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters!"

    w00t!

  9. Re:It's Not Magic, It's God(TM) on Technology Spontaneously Combusts In Sicily · · Score: 1

    Thank God!

  10. Re:Disproof on Technology Spontaneously Combusts In Sicily · · Score: 1

    If mankind's science has disproved anything, it is the notion of scientific unfallibility. That is to say, our scientists are constantly proving that previously held scientific 'facts' are actually not true after all.

    The more scientists try to disprove the word of God, the more they demonstrate that they really don't have a clue.

  11. Re:Moderation comments on Star Wars Episode 3 Release Date Announced · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's too bad we can't get notified when someone has a comment about how we modded a comment... I mean, beyond metamoderation, of course :-)

  12. Re:Israel has been fighting with its arms tied on U.S. Prepares to Get Nuked · · Score: 1

    Here's a tip for future trolls:

    If you want to maintain a shred of credibility, don't try to compare Ariel Sharon to Winston Churchill.

    Thank you.

  13. Monty Python on Tokyo Narita Airport Gets PDA Voice Translators · · Score: 1

    "Pleeeez fehn-del my buttocks!"

  14. + 1 Bonus Modifier for Using All Relavent Acronyms on AT&T Wireless Phone "Upgrades" Aren't · · Score: 1

    :-)

  15. Time Shift Fo Real :-) on Timeshifting: Cram More Into Life · · Score: 1



    ... or just hitch a ride with this guy!

  16. Re:Headhunters that find you on Internet Job Boards a Bunch of Hype? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, good point.

    "Improves" should probably be taken to mean: 'When hiring managers aren't getting burried in 400 qualified/over-qualified resumes for every position they interview for'...

    At some point in the future (hopefully) there will be a cycle in the economy where job applicants have some leverage with employers, due to a scarcity of candidates. This is when I'd expect to see the 'weekend-warrior' brand of headhunter re-surface.

  17. Headhunters that find you on Internet Job Boards a Bunch of Hype? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I agree that the better choice of the two would be a headhunter that found you. However, I would add one more thing: it's worth 10 minutes of your time to research who you're dealing with.

    Don't let someone get you excited about a great position, and a great company, only to discover (perhaps in hindsight) that the 'headhunter' was neither experienced at their craft, nor interested in finding a good fit for the company or you. In those instances, the headhunter becomes more like a matchmaking aunt who just wants to marry off as many of her nephews as quickly as possible, make a few bucks, then move on to new town.

    Fortuneately, until the job market improves back to where it was during the dot com era, this breed of 'budget headhunters' has died off or found work doing something else. But when the economy cycles back to where it's a job-hunter's market again, they will probably return with a great deal for you.

  18. Monkey Trap on Dealing With Copyright Online: Porn v. Music · · Score: 1

    I would think the porn industry could teach the **AA a thing or two about monkeys....

    ...and traps

    ...and monkey traps

  19. BMG on Dealing With Copyright Online: Porn v. Music · · Score: 1

    I started noticing what lables produced my favorite artists/cd's when I bought a Skid Row CD (Atlantic) via BMG music services (Buy 12 CDs for the price of 1!).

    In this case, it was BMG who stripped the CD of one of my favorite songs because it was deemed offensive ("Get the FscK Out")

    My conclusion: If anything, the lables want to remain as transparent as possible, because so far, the only thing their 'brand' tends to engender is resentment and dis-loyalty.

  20. Tucanos = Rodizios++ on Netcraft Jokes About SCO's Virus Fears · · Score: 1

    If you're ever back in the SLC/PC/Provo Triangle, I highly recommend Tucanos.

    It's the same concept as Rodizio, but with better food and service!

  21. Slashdot as NYT partner... on It's All About the Ununpentium · · Score: 1

    ...it is

  22. Lunatic Fringe on Neglected Classic Games That Deserve Remakes? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Anyone who owned a copy of Berkely Systems "After Dark" screen saver for Mac in the early 90's will remember this.... loved that one!

  23. UPDA slogan... on Gabriel and Eno Start Digital Music Artist Union · · Score: 1

    Yo yo yo!

    Our artists got hits UPDA Wazoo!

  24. Check out garageband.com... on Gabriel and Eno Start Digital Music Artist Union · · Score: 1

    ... not a bad model (IMO) for letting the cream rise to the top.
