  1. Re:SlashdotTV coming September 6th... ish on NerdTV Coming in September · · Score: 1

    Put's a whole new spin on goatse trolls, huh?

  2. Badge of honor? on NerdTV Coming in September · · Score: 1

    It would seem to take their ability to use it as a derogatory term away if it's embraced, a badge of honor even.

    Joe Shmoe sees us wearing it as a badge of honor, wouldn't see someone else calling us a nerd as an insult to us. Thus, it doesn't have the intended effect.

    That's just my take on it.

  3. Re:What the hell? on ThinkGeek ThinkGeek ThinkGEEK! · · Score: 1

    Actually, considering how fast the stories are coming in, I think we've hit the 6-7 area.

    Oh $diety, make it stop!

  4. Or better yet.. on Pioneer Ultraviolet Laser Promises 500GB Discs · · Score: 2, Informative

    Better yet cover them with this.

    It should fix the knicks and scratches problem.

  5. More money than P2P. on Real Cuts Prices for DRM-Restricted Music · · Score: 1

    It's supposed to be okay because they mail a small percentage of the pennies ...

    When people use P2P the artist gets nothing and the user get sued. If the user uses allofmp3.com, then the user is given (a fairly small) protection from the RIAA and at least a few pennies will make it to the artist as opposed to none with P2P. It's also a $0.01/MB protection from getting sued.

  6. Re:What about website? on It's Just the 'internet' Now? · · Score: 1

    stop calling them "sights" unless they're tourist attractions to be looked at and photographed

    As opposed to pages to be turned in a book?

  7. Worst. Joke. Ever. on SGI & NASA Plan 10240-Processor Altix Cluster · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I'd like to see a beowulf cluster of those.

    Worst. Joke. Ever.
    I stand by my decleration.

  8. Re:disclosure on Consumer Database Company Hacked Again · · Score: 1

    ...when will we have laws making it a mandatory requirement for companies like this to fully disclose events like this to the public...

    I work in a financial institution in California. We do. We have to report it to out entire membership and the autorities. I believe it may be a federal law for financial institutions. Infact a local competitor had a laptop stolen from their site with all their members personal info and had to release it. It hurt them pretty bad.

  9. non-/. ed treeline cache on Best To-Do List Software? · · Score: 2

    google cache: Treeline

    There wasn't a cache of rc0 site that I could find.

  10. Re:Answer on Broadband Usage Up 42% In The U.S. In 2003 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Personally, I disagree. If I'm paying for 768k down (or whatever your contract says) I should be able to use every last kbps I'm paying for.

    If my cell phone bill is $40/mo for 700 minutes, I'd like to use all 700 minutes without an extra charge.

  11. June 10th on SCO and Baystar Strike a Deal · · Score: 2, Informative

    Now can the damn stock please crater?

    Just wait till June 10th. They're giving their report. It very well could tank that day.

  12. Re:location location location on First-Ever Private Spaceport Nears Final Approval · · Score: 0

    It's way the hell out in the middle of no place.

    I've been there, it's still striving to be "way out in the middle of no place". Maybe being a spaceport, it'll be offically be "in the middle of no place".

    But who knows.

  13. Re:Great... on Hollywood Courting the Gaming Industry · · Score: 0

    When are we going to see Tia Carrere in Daedalus Encounter II?!

    I prefer Asia Carrere, thats just me though.

  14. Angelina Jolie on Eigenfaces Online Service · · Score: 0

    Can I get a list of people that have returned matches to Angelina Jolie?

    Just trying to serve the public good. :-)

  15. Re:it also repels women on Project Grizzly Bear-Proof Suit Up For Auction · · Score: 1, Funny

    In addition to protecting you from attacking bears, it will also protect you from getting laid.

    Is that really a concern here on slashdot?
