  1. Re:Business As Usual For Earthlink on Earthlink Pulling A Bait-n-Switch? · · Score: 1
    Typically, slow connects are usually a modem or wiring issue, such as interference from RF, quality of wiring, distance from the telco, etc...remember, anything using sound to transmit data, you're opening a pandora's box for problems.

    Try different modem init strings, modem updates, etc.

    Visit 56k=v.Unreliable. Pretty deceint site for modem troubleshooting.

  2. Re:Vaporware, vaporware, how I adore thee . . . on Agenda VR3 Review · · Score: 1

    The Clinton-damaged economy has taken enough blows.

    So I guess you're ready to go back to Regan Economics with the trickle down bullshit and double digit unemployment?

    Quite frankly, I'm enjoying the so called "Clinton-Damaged" economy for the last few years. Hopefully, your buddy boy Georgie W Bush doesn't destroy what we built for the last 8 or so years.

    Have a good day. :)

  3. Re:Shouldn't that be : on New Linux Worm · · Score: 1

    > GNU/Linux Worm? Is there a dash between anal and retentive?

  4. Re:Do we resort to revenge? on Undernet In Serious Trouble: Any Suggestions? (Updated) · · Score: 1

    Nah, we'd be snooping down to his level. Unfortunately, he's getting what he wanted in the first place with these attacks....attention.

  5. Re:Plural of LEGO is LEGO on The Ordinary Slashdot User Answers · · Score: 1

    Tell me, is there a hyphen between anal and retentive?

  6. Jar Jar on Episode II In Trouble? · · Score: 1

    For Pete's sake, Mr. Lucas, please leave Jar Jar Binks out this time.

    Thanks. :)

  7. antifungal on Mir Likely To Be Deorbited [Updated] · · Score: 1

    There are numerous over the counter and prescription antifungal medications to cure the fungal infection. Perhaps they should have a mission where they cover the whole thing with some antifungal topical cream, or if it's an internal fungal infection, use some Monistat-7.

  8. Re:Sony DVD on FCC to Require Anti-Piracy Features in Digital TVs · · Score: 1

    My Toshiba SD2109 doesn't play audio CDRs either...I think it's more of a compatibility problem than anything else. Oh well, I only use it for movies anyways.

  9. Re:But Cisco.... on Pentium III 1.13Ghz: The Real Story · · Score: 1

    You are correct, sir. Cisco's stuff is very good and very reliable. I wouldn't use anything else as a router (their switch line is good, too).

    Please don't compare Cisco to MSFT or even Intel.

  10. Re:ffp on Alias/Wavefront Announces Port Of Maya To Red Hat · · Score: 1

    But they are trolls. First posts have nothing to do with the story, and down right stupid (I still don't get the point..) hence they should be moderated down.

    Back on topic :)...it's nice to have this product ported to Linux...maybe other good apps will follow, though I really hate the "for Redhat Linux" statement. *shrug*

  11. Engrish on Build Portable Mp3 Player · · Score: 1

    Gotta love Japanese English sites! It's even in Engrish!

  12. Re:IRC logging w/o permission on Clinton Frowns on Anonymity · · Score: 1

    Call up the ISP and say that person was hacking your computer or something.. they'll give you the name (and maybe even phone # and home address). Go to one of the online phone directories, look up the name. Give the person a call.. "Is it true your father molests you?"

    Usually untrue. Providers generally don't give out this sort of info without a court order of some type.

  13. Buy all region compatible DVDs on DVD Zoning Challenged by UK Supermarket Chain · · Score: 1

    Hey, just show your support to studios that put out "all region compatible" DVDs by purchasing "all region compatible" DVDs. These are quite rare, but I do own one DVD that is
    supposely "all region compatible", which is Gwar's "Phallus In Wonderland". :)

  14. If you think User Friendly is absurd... on Scott Kurtz Blasts Comic Strips on Tech Support · · Score: 1

    Try reading Spacemoose. If you have any reason to hate online comic strips at all, you can find it here. :)

  15. lucky on $7.5m for Domain Name · · Score: 1

    The guy is pretty lucky to get a domain that he can make that much money on. Judging from domain name auctions on Ebay, success in selling a domain name is pretty rare (of course, when you set your minimal bid to $5,000,000US on a lame domain, prepare to keep it for a while. :).

  16. zipped readme on MAME running on Kodak Digital Camera · · Score: 2

    Why did he feel the need to zip the readme? It's only 5 bloody kilobytes. :)

  17. Mwave modems on IBM Leaving Retail PC Market · · Score: 1

    IBM Aptivas used to come with those Mwave modems, which were probably the worst modems on earth, an ISP's tech support's nightmare. Then they got those LT winmodems which were better, but still can be a pain. Good ridance, Aptivas.

    Customer: "I thought I was getting the best in the business when I purchased an IBM!"

  18. nothing new on QNX OS on a floppy · · Score: 1

    This isn't new. I remember doing this about two years ago, although the webserver part I think is new on the QNX floppy demo. It is cool, tho. :)

  19. Re:Cable Modem on Cable vs. DSL, Explained · · Score: 1

    Hell, there are cities that don't even have cable. :)

  20. Re:Cameron Diaz x 10000000 on First cloned human embryo revealed · · Score: 1

    I wanna reserve a copy. :)

  21. hmmm on DIVX is dead · · Score: 1

    I figured that it would die out, but not this quickly, since I saw a Divx/Circuit City commerical just a few nights ago. Now customers are going to be stuck with a Divx player plays DVDs at poor quality. They should get a total refund, especially if they recently purchashed it, or atleast a trade in on a real DVD player.

    Well, so long Divx!

  22. Wow. on Wcarchive Does 1.39tb In 24 Hours · · Score: 0

    Go FreeBSD! :)

    Wow....Walnut Creek's FTP server is mighty popular
    though.

  24. Re:I'd much rather see kids play Quake after schoo on New York Times profiles John Romero & John Carmack · · Score: 1

    I played Quake happily on a 486 133 (one of those AMD 5x86 processors) for about a year. Sure it was only 9 to 15 FPS, but at the time it was all I had :)

  25. Fee for spamming on ISP Sues Spammer · · Score: 2

    The ISP I work for actually charges customers that spam using our system. Users who send mass unsolicited email through our system will incur a charge of $1000, plus a charge of $25 for each
    spam message sent through our system, $10 for each complaint received by the our staff as a result of the spam, and $25 for each message bounced back to us as a result of the spam.
    Mailbombers will also be billed at the same rate.
    :)
