  1. how do you explain on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    world leaders coming to work with Bush all of a sudden? Wasn't that Kerry's big selling point? He would bring "friends and allies" to the table?

    Strength and determination--they smell it and fear it.

  2. PC load letter on Debugging in Plain English? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    PC load letter? What the fuck does that mean?

  3. why...? on An iPod-based Guide To SF Wireless Hotspots · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Why is this even notable? If you're going to be getting wifi access, you're going to have your laptop. If you have your laptop, why would you keep a list of hotspots on your iPod? You'd be better off searching with kismac.

  4. Re:Why exclude? on Seagate Accuses Cornice of Patent Infringement · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It is bad because you're allowing the infringing company to gain market share and brand recognition by selling products with patented feature x. Then they gain credibility, remove feature x or alter it slightly for compliance, and and enjoy solid sales with no license fees.

  5. Re:Any ideas? on Apartment Lit Solely by LEDs · · Score: 2, Informative

    Radio Shack's pricing is outrageously high. Their electronics packaging and pricing is structured to provide electronics hobbiests a common part they need at 11pm.

    Because most electronics catalogs have minimum orders, shipping costs, and shipping delays, you'd end up paying probably $15. Therefore, rat shack can rape you with $5 capacitors, or 5 resistors for $2.

    Those LED's would be more like $0.70 in high quantities.

  6. one word on Sweet Revenge On Nigerian Scammers · · Score: 1

    WHOIS

  7. Interactive demo on The Design Of The Google File System · · Score: 1, Funny

    Check out the interactive demo of how GFS works.

  8. Re:Holy crap that thing's ugly on Dell Announces New Music Player, Download Service · · Score: 1

    That's why you place your order through the small business division--just make up a company name.

  9. Windy City on Replica Flyer Foiled By Weather · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Chicago was named the "Windy City" after the "winds" coming from the mouths of gas bag politicians at city hall, not for meteorological winds.

  10. freezing backup discs? on Say Goodbye To Your CD-Rs In Two Years? · · Score: 1

    If the dics use an organic dye that degrades, would it not be smart to place backup discs in a vacuum-sealed bag in the freezer? Cold, dark, air tight.

  11. But! on Maine Completes Largest To-Scale Solar System Model · · Score: 1

    They forgot Planet X!!!

  12. What's so revolutionary? on Haystack: A More Compelling View Of Your Data · · Score: 1

    What's the big deal? Yahoo and other portals have had customizable news/weather/mail/todo/calendar pages for years.

  13. Re:Yeah! on Microsoft: We Make Hackers Obsolete · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Funny you should mention that--Microsoft teamed up with Signetics to create a WOFS for their write-only memory chip.

  14. mechanical connectors on Oil-Cooling 802.11 Infrastructure · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't the oil potentially seep between plugs and physical connectors (non-soldered) and potentially cause a bad contact? Even if it meesed up just one pin, it could be disasterous. And what about the fan in the power supply? I saw it mentioned but the google translation wasn't too good.

  15. Re:Ah, but at that barbecue... on The Internship That Students Drool Over · · Score: 1

    You mawkin' us from tha sath?

  16. hibernation on Dell Introduces Laptop With WUXGA · · Score: 1

    Imagine hibernation with 2GB ram... You're gonna need a SCSI drive, too, unless you want to go smell the roses in the meantime. That'll be $1000 more.

  17. polish women on 1.8TB Of Disk Space In A (Semi-)Normal PC · · Score: 1

    I know those eastern-European women are hot, but a terrabyte of pics?

  18. Slashdot on Your Most Damage-Resistant Hardware? · · Score: 1, Funny

    My laptop has survived years of slashdot.

  19. putting 2 + 2 together on Priest Brews in Washing Machine · · Score: 1

    Ah-ha--I thought the Maytag repair man was looking a bit tipsy in his last commercial!

  20. The penguins aren't going to last long on Penguins Invade the North Pole · · Score: 2

    Penguins are no match for a Boa.

  21. Uhh.. At first glance on End Of the Road for Duron · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I thought this was on Enron
    and then on second glance about condoms.

    Oh, processors. How boring.

  22. /.ted -- Google Cache on Simpsons Guide to Math · · Score: 2
  23. Just make sure on Captain Crunch's New Boxes, Part II · · Score: 5, Funny

    that you don't have a modem in your crunchbox
    :)

  24. Re:Mozillazine Build Comments are Killer on mozilla.org Releases Mozilla 0.9.8 · · Score: 1

    Uhhh, "Get a life"(TM).

  25. Bill Gates wins on Junkyard Wars: The Next Generation · · Score: 1

    The thing that makes Junkyard wars so great is that each team has fixed resources. Success is based soley upon ingenuity (and sometimes just a shred of luck). It sounds like you can buy your way in this competition. Your uncle is Bill Gates? That's fine!
