  1. Re:Too bad... on Meteor May Have Wiped Out Middle East Civilization · · Score: -1, Troll


    This is funny?!

    Not sure we all agree with that!

  2. They also cost $500 a month on Rolling Your Own Internet Connection? · · Score: 0

    They also cost $500 a month

  3. Panasonic has it on their web site on Nintendo GameCube Clone Out In Japan · · Score: 0


    "Play it on Panasonic"

    http://panasonic.com/consumer_electronics/home/def ault.asp

    Cool little Flash game also.

  4. T1's are slow on Rolling Your Own Internet Connection? · · Score: 0

    Maybe a high speed cable or DSL connection, like 5-10 mbs. 1.5mbs isn't much at all. T1's are real expensive. They DO have their benefits, but they aren't the mother of all connections that they once were.

  5. Yeah, so? on Leonids on November 18 · · Score: 1, Funny


    Geeks don't even TAKE showers, but they watch
    them?! Hah!

    Meteor Shower, or MP3 Jenna Jameson Shower?

  6. Electron Microscopes on Tiny X-rays of Tiny Animals · · Score: 0

    I like those 5000X shots of ants

  7. Will they give me a free system... on Nuon Development Kit Released · · Score: 0


    If I promise to write crap for it?

  8. Re:why? on HP Officially Announces 40g MP3 Stereo Component · · Score: 0


    I was just talking to STEVEN. This is what he had to say:

    "Dude! You're gettin a Dell!"

    Words of wisdom at its finest.

  9. BECAUSE on HP Officially Announces 40g MP3 Stereo Component · · Score: 0

    Because it's nowhere near as geeky.

    Besides, what do you do when the Ms. wants to hear some Imbruglia, and you want to read Slashdot, look at pr0n, or play Doom 3?

  10. TV's are brain control devices on TV Networks Sue ReplayTV · · Score: 0

    Soon, they'll all make us zombies who watch TV all day. We'll see the advertising and buy the products. We will quit going outside, socializing, all so we can watch TV until early hours of the morning.

    Whoops.

  11. Here it goes: on What's Your Halloween Costume? · · Score: 0

    I painted up my face and now I sit in my cube like the zombie I am made out to be.

    Walmart + $2.99 makes for a good paint job.

  12. Build your own PC! on Electronics Kits for Kids (and Adults)? · · Score: 0

    Head over to TigerDirect, or your favorite catalog or web site. Buy parts. Build PC. Enjoy PC. Install Linux on PC.

  13. Re:Software is better than hardware on Electronics Kits for Kids (and Adults)? · · Score: 0

    Nobody ever got electrocuted by software, and that's half the fun.

  14. Never hit it on Maximum Number of Open Windows under Windows? · · Score: 0

    I remember demos opening 1,000 windows testing a system out.

    Once I had a folder with ~ 250 ZIP files, and instead of hitting COPY I hit EXTRACT with WINZIP. About 10 minutes later I had 250 WinZip's open.

  15. Anyone ever use those old .... on Controlling Your Computer with IR Remotes? · · Score: 0

    Packard Bell computers that came with a remote? This P-75 we bought had one. It was the whole reason I told mom to get it, over the Compaq that was sitting next to it at Sears.

    I imagined using it as a game controller, etc, it just ended up being a really shitty wireless mouse, with CD player controls. Ugh.

  16. a 3270 emulator might do it on AS400 Client Access Clone for Linux? · · Score: 0

    But there are other things the ClientAccess software can do in Windows.

    I'm REAL surprised IBM isn't pushing all their client software and running it on the Linux they are sinking so much in to.

    Maybe they do, I just don't know about it.

  17. I wonder if... on NASA Releases Classic Software To Public Domain · · Score: 0

    They'll release that 256 bytes that Armstrong had to enter by hand to get the damn craft off the moon??

  18. Re:End NYTIMES links!! on Microsoft Edits English · · Score: 0

    Agreed. I don't like non-free (not as in beer) services.

  19. Re:my dell laptop on 12-volt Plexiglass Computer · · Score: 0

    But, it's not as COOL, you didn't hack it yourself, and there's no writeup on SALSA H DOT for it.

    But you are right, it's probably a better solution.

  20. CLEARLY this is a good idea on 12-volt Plexiglass Computer · · Score: 0

    Punsies!

    Very clean design, almost an OEM quality!

    I wouldn't mine a plexiglass desktop case.

  21. Imagine a .... on 12-volt Plexiglass Computer · · Score: 0

    beowulf cluster of these.

    you'd be able to see right through them!!

  22. THE FONTS ARE TOo SMALL on MSN Blocks Mozilla, Other Browsers [updated] · · Score: 0

    I set my fonts on small, and at MSN they are ULTRA TINY

    But they look fine on 'MEDIUM'

    But when I go to SLASDOT they are like 16pt! god dammn is there no sanity!!!

  23. Imagine.. on DIY linux-based MP3 player Appliance · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Most of my crack dealer friends make much more than I could making web pages 24 hours a day. And they only work 8pm-2am

    Let's get street gangs to turn computer nerds into gang members!
