  1. Re:Foreigners? on Greenbacks No More · · Score: 1

    kind of like the World Series maybe??

  2. Re:Laugh, if you must... on Microsoft vs. Northwest Schools Part III · · Score: 1

    You wouldn't even have to teach this stuff; just place interesting tech books on the shelves, make old PCs with dev tools and content creation tools available and they'll figure it out if they want to;

  3. Re:G-forces. on Coasters to Face G-Force Limits? · · Score: 1

    The Discovery Channel show where they discuss pilot training in high Gs can also apply to civilians on rollercoasters -- when a high G turn is coming -- tighten as many leg muscles as you can find to get the blood up to your head -- leads to no more 1/2 second blind spells

  4. Re:G-forces. on Coasters to Face G-Force Limits? · · Score: 1

    I believe Iron Wolf in Illinois bites too -- everyone has red ears when the ride is done (atleast as of a few years ago) -- it probably makes everyone a few decimal points stupider, so I feel sorry for the Season Pass holders!

  5. Can it be appealed? on SonicBlue Ordered to Spy on ReplayTV Viewers · · Score: 1

    There's higher judges? right?

  6. Re:Atoms != Electrons on Linux "is not piracy" Says Microsoft Lawyer · · Score: 1

    Why do they insist on equating an illegal copy with a stolen copy?

    They probably feel they need to justify their existance this way.

  7. Re:Capitolism at Work on MS Pressuring NW Schools: Pay Up, Or Face Audit · · Score: 1

    The thing is, when you buy a book, you buy it once; it looks like MS wants people to repurchase everytime the licenses get misplaced;

  8. Re:Just for perspective. on Wireless Carriers Accused of Antitrust Violations · · Score: 1

    >>> AMERICANS ARE IDIOTS!!!

    Looks like someone here wanted to get some karma the cheap way.

    Kind of like saying all 8 year olds are idiots for not knowing C++

    Looks like it worked for you though

  9. This is the usual way to get things passed on U.S. Considers Microsoft Passport as National ID · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...suggest something truely undesirable and then fall back to what was desired by some in government in the first place but wouldn't have normally been accepted by the public -- a national ID

  10. Re:If you don't like it DONT USE WINDOWS! on XP, Phone Home · · Score: 1

    B) 99% of users are to computer illiterate to know what their computer is doing or simply don't care

    99% of slashdot readers are just plain illiterate ;)

    He doesn't want to be short-changed any karma...

    it's valuable stuff, you know :)

  12. Use a download manager... on A New Low for Web Advertisers: Pop-Up Downloads · · Score: 1

    A download manager may be able to catch these which would allow you to remove them from the download queue just like you delete spam -- what a waste of time --

  13. Re:David L. Walker on Feds Cracking the Whip on Spammers · · Score: 1

    If you put everyone names 'Walker' in prison, the world will be a safer place!!

    >>> It'd be funny if such a program were created, and caught on.

    And distributed on the Kazaa network : )

  15. Re:Huh? on Distributed Computing Program Hidden in Kazaa · · Score: 1

    I have over 50 purchased and free downloaded applications installed (mostly free or low cost). Lawyers charge $60-$500 or more per hour. I hope you can see the problem here.

  16. Spam center? on Distributed Computing Program Hidden in Kazaa · · Score: 1

    If they make your PC a SPAM node, will they help get your net connection back after your ISP cuts you off?

  17. Now's my chance... on nVidia/AMD Merger Announced · · Score: 1

    Can I have some too???

  18. I'm just glad... on Mozilla Tree Closes for 1.0 · · Score: 1

    that we finally have a major 1.0 application...

  19. Saving Word Docs with bitmaps on gobeProductive 3.0 - Office XP killer? · · Score: 1

    If you are pasting in pictures of the charts, you could try using gif or jpg format -- don't just shift-insert the picture into the document (the pictures are converted to plain bitmaps which gets big) -- insert then by MSWord--> (menubar)--> Insert-->Picture--> From Files -- the resulting saved .doc will be a reasonable size

  20. pan and scan on One DVD To Rule Them All · · Score: 1

    Is there any way to know if they did pan and scan correctly -- an example of bad pan/scan is Ghostbusters -- it seemed too digital, or something -- not quite sure what

  21. Re:Frightening on Google Relists Operation Clambake · · Score: 1

    Well, in actuality, Catholics, do not require money from their members (although they do ask for it since they have bills and social-services also). You can still pray with them even though you don't pay (i.e., they won't ID scan you and then escort you out for non-payment); The tithe concept is most popular among the non-Catholic Christian churches.

  22. You can also try... on Pay Dirt in Scanned Driver's Licenses · · Score: 1

    Somehow I was able to read the article without registering/etc -- open new window, go to www.nytimes.com/... etc then change it to something else like archive.nytimes.com/... -- it will 404 - and send you back to the frontpage -- close that window -- retry the link from /. and you should be in

  23. Thanks on Computers Summarize the News · · Score: 1

    Now I have more info to pipe to my Betabrite sign.

  24. Re:Common to send to our MPs on Canada to Raise Tariffs on Recordable Media · · Score: 1

    Government doesn't care about you anymore -- plan B is to target letter writing campaigns to Walmart, etc., asking why this unjust tax exists; if enought customers do this, they may be able to get laws changed;

  25. Re:This has potential. on China Wants Out of Spam Blocks · · Score: 1

    It's all fun and games until you accidently hit that reply-to-all button to a message that contains lots of recipients.
