  1. Global warming on Earth's Magnetic Field Is Acting Up and Geologists Don't Know Why (nature.com) · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Cow farts

  2. Memories on Internet Archive Launches a Commodore 64 Emulator (hardocp.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I browsed through the collection and a lot of those titles certainly brought back memories. I'm 50. I'm sharing with my father who spent many hours with me as a kid teaching me how to program in basic on our humble Commodore 64.

  3. Re:Recording should be a basic function... ? on Android Trojan Records Phone Calls · · Score: 1

    No kidding. I could do this with my nokia phone, no problem. But with android it's like pulling teeth. Somebody link to this "trojan" so I can install it for my own phone.

  4. We have this in Hawaii on Emergency Broadcast System Coming To Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    About a month or two ago (maybe longer,i lose track) a company called "Nixie" put in service (with the city and county of Honolulu) a text and/or email alert service.

    Story from local paper: http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/global/story.asp?s=12921149

  5. Not only part time on Is Finding Part Time Work In IT Unrealistic? · · Score: 1

    Full time work is also impossible.. at least for me.

  6. Apartment Accepting Packages on What Examples of Security Theater Have You Encountered? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    In 2001 I was living in an apartment complex in a North Dallas suburb. If you got a package that wouldn't fit in those teeny-tiny mailboxes then the mail man would drop off the package at the apartment complex office and you could pick it up in normal office hours.

    After September 11th, the apartment management sent out a memo to all residents that because of the heightened state of terrorism awareness the office would no longer allow packages to be held there for the residents.

    Of course my first thought was they were just tired of dealing with the packages and saw this as a convenient excuse to stop holding packages for people.

  7. Remember what happened last time on Wikileaks Airs Scientology Black Ops · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Do a google search for slashdot deleted posts scientology, and see what comes up.

  8. My election prediction on Best Presidential Candidate, Democrats · · Score: -1, Troll

    It will come down to the Muslim vs. the Mormon. And unfortunately I suspect the Mormon will edge out the Muslim by a slim margin.

    But if you're a Democrat you should still probably try your best to support the Muslim.

  9. Vote for Ron Paul on Best Presidential Candidate, Republicans · · Score: -1, Troll

    Fuck these choices, those other 3 idiots are idiots. Ron Paul is the clear choice.

  10. Re:About fucking time! on 23,000 Linux PCs For Filipino Schools · · Score: 1

    Which is my point. This sounds nice now. And I wish them well, but from experience I know how these things can end up. Graft, corruption and greed invariably take their toll. Poor countries like the Philippines should rushing to use Free Software, not encouraging its citizens to purchase expensive crapware. Let's give this some time and see what happens. I hope things will go well. I hope Free Software will take over the world. But... let's just see what happens...

  11. About fucking time! on 23,000 Linux PCs For Filipino Schools · · Score: 3, Informative

    The Philippines is such a poor country, it's about damn time they wised up and chose the free option. Although, I can't help to think that with so much corruption in every aspect of the government and business over there. I'll be surprised if this pans out in the end.

  12. Re:Looks great... on The World's Cheapest Car Set To Launch · · Score: 0

    Heh, you want 2 tatas! Me too!

  13. Tatas on The World's Cheapest Car Set To Launch · · Score: 5, Funny

    Heh.. you said "tatas".

    God, I would love to have a tata to ride around in.. Of course people might say I looked like a boob inside that thing, but I wouldn't care.

  14. Re:patents on GIMP 2.4 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    The paper I shoot for doesn't require squat. Just shoot pictures. If they're good, they use them. We have editors that use Photoshop to crop, resize and color correct if necessary. But. If they wanted to use the gimp they could do that too. No one holds a gun to their head and says use Photoshop. It's just the "industry standard", but if you can do the job with different tools then go for it.

  15. Best Viewing Places in Hawaii? on Lunar Eclipse Next Tuesday Morning · · Score: 1

    Anyone know where the best viewing places in Hawaii would be?

  16. Access to proprietary software and codecs on Canonical and Linspire Make a Deal · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't want access to proprietary software and codecs. I run Linux to use free software. I want open codecs, and GPL'd DVD player software et. al.

  17. Re:35 Euros on Web Release of the Open Movie Elephants Dream · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I agree, 35 Euros is quite a bit for a damned movie. Source material included or not. I wonder if they would be open to just selling the movie for 20 bucks and keep the extras.

  18. Nice knowing you guys on Bush Signs Law Targeting P2P Pirates · · Score: 4, Funny

    Been nice knowing you guys.. wait.. we'll all meet up again in the big house and talk over the old times together.. it'll be fun!

  19. Re:This call may be monitored or recorded on This Call May Be Monitored ... · · Score: 1

    In New York only 1 person involved need know.

  20. This call may be monitored or recorded on This Call May Be Monitored ... · · Score: 4, Funny

    This call may be monitored or recorded? Ok thanks, I'll just hit record now then.. thank you for your permission.

  21. Want the Zaurus version on Opera Browser Beta Adds Voice, More · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Since my SL6000 came with Opera I wonder if they'll make a mobile version.

  22. Re:And Nethack, of course on Humor in Games? · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the funny message combinations..

    "You see here a banana. It explodes. You are freeked out."

  23. Re:PPV on TiVo Plans More Functionality Reductions · · Score: 1

    How about this.. if I rent a movie and never return it no one else can rent it. If I save a PPV movie to hard disk, tape.. whatever.. I have it and so do they, no theft..

  24. Re:PDA Needs on Sharp Plans To Pull Zaurus From U.S. Market · · Score: 1

    Earlier today you could have got the 6000L from Amazon.com for $399.99, now the price went up to $449.99.. you had your chance...

  25. bootleg on US Judge Strikes Down Bootleg Law · · Score: 4, Funny

    Maybe I'm too old, but I thought this was going to be an article about alcohol.
