  1. Shortly after... on Microsoft Raises Security Game, Notes Shortcomings Elsewhere · · Score: 0

    ...Steve Ballmer randomly pops up at Microsoft's HR department demanding, "We need better Developers Developers Developers Developers Developers!"

  2. Re:Wow.... on Dell $38m Supercomputer [not] More Costly than VT's G5s · · Score: 0

    Well for one, you can play a lot more games, rather than just Solitaire.

  3. I need a second opinion... on Apple, Scully, And Intel vs. Motorola · · Score: 0

    What does Mulder think about all of this? I bet 50 clams he believes Steve Jobs is an alien.

  4. Too bad the driver doesn't have internet access on Three-wheeled Wireless Internet · · Score: 0

    or otherwise he'd be able to PM his boss his iTrike got jacked!

  5. The woes of one man... on New Disney / Samsung HDD Video Set-Top Box · · Score: 0

    "HONEY!!!! Snow White is coming up all distorted, will you adjust the Pringles can again?"

    "Damnit!"

  6. Re:Yes, you probably can! on The Incredible Shrinking Recording Studio · · Score: 0

    Last time I checked, decoding/encoding audio is much faster than doing the same with video. Uncompressed 80min disc is ~700MB, right? Your RAID-0 array would need to be able to send across a beefy 8.75MB per minute. Better bust out with those SCSI drives!

  7. Great idea but on Arcade ROMs for Download, Legally · · Score: 0

    now I have to wait for the PC version of iROMs!

  8. Re:question on Virtual Grid Supercomputer Goes (Partly) Online · · Score: 0

    If that's true, then so is Einstein's theory of relativity... universe starts with a Big Bang, ends with black holes...

    Dut dut DUT!!!

  9. The service sounds great but... on Snail Mail As E-Mail · · Score: 1, Interesting

    ...do they filter out junk mail? If I forward my postal mail to them, I don't want to end up getting the same subscription letter to Cosmo every 2 months in my email. And most likely if its sent by the service, there will be little to no chance of filtering out, especially letters aren't scanned to text.

  10. I can see it now... on Track a Soda Can with GPS? · · Score: 0

    New York Bum wins $17 Million by picking up other people's littered cans.

  11. Wow! on Mobile Internet Down Under · · Score: 1, Funny
    so far roughly 3000km.

    Damn! That must be a huge pringles can!
  12. In other news... on Linksys Still In Violation of the GPL? · · Score: 0

    ... SCO sues LinkSys for using SCO's proprietary code in their hardware. Doh!

  13. Uh oh... on Build Your Own Segway · · Score: 0

    ...what about a beowulf cluster of homebrew balancing machines! Dut dut DUT!

  14. Cingular Matrix on Major Problems with Cingular Network · · Score: 0

    Neo: "Operator, I need a hard line!"

    *unexpected click*

    Neo: "Damn!"

  15. This just in... on Yahoo Messenger Blocks Outside IM Clients · · Score: 0

    ... after major disappointment by many college and high school students, Yahoo! Messenger collapses under its own weight and follows its destiny shared by Yahoo! Magazine. The typical student's response, "their IM client sucked anyways."

  16. New business strategy for Slashdot! on Bluetooth for Homebrew Robots? · · Score: 0

    Example: (please don't wipe out our server if possible)

    Solution: Organized crime

    Here's my idea:
    1. Cowboy Neal provides "protection" to low-bandwidth sites in exchange for money.

    2. If customers don't keep up on the payments, Cowboy Neal "accidently" posts an interesting directly to their site, using such words as "anti-spam" or "die M$/SCO/RIAA die" or "nekkid chix".

    3. Result of the post causes severe bandwidth saturation, and their customers' profit suffer, and slowly crawls to a halt.

  17. Surprisingly... on USB 1.1 Renumbered To USB 2? · · Score: 0

    This came up on my SAT exam!

    If all USB1.1'ss are USB2.0's, and all USB2.0's are USB2.0's, then what are USB2.1's?

  18. Special Features on Intel Shipped 1 Billionth Computer Chip · · Score: 0

    I heard that the 1 Billionth Intel CPU has some added instructions that will without a doubt help the typical user:

    - Unlocked multiplier. Everyone knows this obviously means more freedom for overclocking!

    - Super Hyper Threading. This allows the user to predefine how many processing threads he/she prefers. Now you can play Solitaire with your 16-faux processor machine.

    And most importantly...
    - Beer and pizza dispenser. This once in a lifetime on-die feature allows the user to easily serve parties when the occassion needs it. Intel reports that a mobile version of this processor will be out soon.

  19. You call that a mod?! on Alien Case Mod · · Score: 0

    Pfft. I can make one of those in a few seconds! ** dips case in toxic waste infested river **

    If you like the case, you should try the fish!

  20. Here's what I'm expecting in the future... on Remote Direct Memory Access Over IP · · Score: -1, Troll

    With all of this ______ oIP stuff, here's my Top 3 things I'm going to be anticipating:

    1. Biological Warfare over IP (nothing like receiving packets full of Anthrax! mwuahaha!)
    2. Sex over IP (typical sex is very unsafe, with Sex Over IP, I can have my router ignore all of those STD and LeakyCondom packets!)
    3. Beer over IP (nobody likes driving to the quickie mart for beer, especially since there's cops across the street watching you open up a bottle in your car)

  21. Next thing you know.. on T-Shirt Cannon · · Score: 0

    the customer starts sizing items he sees at Home Depot and on ThinkGeek.

    To: custserv@thinkgeek.com
    Subject: Plush Tux Doll

    Will this fit in a 4" diameter t-shirt cannon?
    Better yet, is there anything in stock that will fit in a cannon?

  22. Help! on U.S. Army's Future Combat System Will Run Linux · · Score: 0

    "Captain, we lost Kernel Roberts! We need a new compilation immediately!"

  23. Another one of their schemes! on Unintended Aural Consequences of MP3 Compression · · Score: 0

    You should all know by now that the RIAA funded this research project to attract hypochondriacs and the paranoid into buying CDs rather than downloading MP3s!

  24. How odd... on New Alienware Media Center · · Score: 0

    This resembles a system very similar to that on Tom's Hardware, seen here...

  25. More info on Verizon Lawyer Explains Telecoms' DMCA Position · · Score: 0

    I believe this site had information about this in the past. It wasn't the same company, but I think if you look in the history you may be able to find it.
