  1. map of the internet, using the internet... on Google Programming Contest · · Score: 3, Interesting

    how about have google parse every page, and save the homepage as an image. then take the map of the internet, and make it using tiny thumbnails of the most heavily linked (popular) sites.

    this would be just like those mosaic photos, only much nerdier. thinkgeek execs are drooling already....

  2. i can finally make money off my spambot! on Google Programming Contest · · Score: 1, Funny

    how about go through the pages looking for mailto: tags, and then (the tricky part), devise a product that could be sold, and spam all the people.

    brilliant.

  3. handspring? on Palm OS 5.0 Preview · · Score: 1

    too lazy to RTFA, but will this run on my prism?

  4. pR0n pR0n pR0n!!!! on Cringley On Bandwidth-Expanding Modulation Technology · · Score: -1, Troll

    IMAGINE THE CHOICES!

  5. contents of 1 page pdf... on Macintosh Clustering · · Score: 1

    i'd like to see that document... so in 1 page it is going to tell me how to do everything concerning this clustering, or i just plug them together and assume the options are all 'optimized' for me???

    i read the whole 230 pages of the linux how to and still find myself asking 'well how do i do XXXXXXXX'

    my guess is the pdf is an ad for the ipod and imac claiming 'seamless integration with your new cluster or macs'

    what are you showing in the booth?

  7. why not just deal with apple?? on PowerPC Open Platform Motherboards Finally Here · · Score: 2, Interesting

    personally if i wanted a powerPC i would want to deal with the people that have been doing it for years, and have the most to gain through its success... basically all the cmdrtaco's of the world that want a mac, but are pc slaves for some obscure reason.

  8. new thinkgeek item specifically designed for AMD?? on Tracking Down The AMD "Processor Bug" · · Score: 2

    .... "don't blame me, its a motherboard problem"

  9. developers go to xbox.... wonder why? on Microsoft's Family Room Change · · Score: 1

    that leaves TiVo and ReplayTV as the main standing competitors

    ummm.... actually it introduces xbox as a competitor.

  10. China = my college dorm... on Adobe Considers Withdrawing from Asian Markets · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    out of the 300 people, 100 were dirty and poor, 150 had crappy slave jobs to pay for education, 40 were idiots, and didn't have to work, and 10 were elite. NO ONE paid for software.

    adobe should stop marketing software to college kids.

  12. Re:what is the real life application to this? on CompactFlash / IDE Interface for Apple II · · Score: 1

    thanks for inventing the hard drive...

    i actually had a 40MB HDD in my Apple ][
    cost like $5000 for the whole system, and needless to say, i was the coolest kid on the block.

  13. SST Compact Flash in my Apple ][e = tiiiiight on CompactFlash / IDE Interface for Apple II · · Score: 1

    i got tons of SST Compact Flash around (SuperFlash)

    now i have a use!!

  14. Re:different kinds of "nerds" on Breaking Into The World Of Kernel Hacking? · · Score: 1

    wouldn't you actually borrow someone elses methodology for chaging the oil or replacing the alternator, and then just blindly assume it is the right way, and then demand free support when you forget to put the oil plug back in - even though the damn readme told you too!!!

    now that is "open source"

  15. XINU is golden for learning about internals of OSs on Breaking Into The World Of Kernel Hacking? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    XINU = XINU is not unix.

    it is a very simple OS with multithreading and a bunch of other stuff.

    the full source is available and only like 8000 lines or something. it steps you through it in the book, and it is EXTREMELY easy to read.

    this was what was used to teach my OS classes in college. you can actually get in and hack the thing away and know what you are changing right from the start.

  16. article is about 5 years too late... on Cheating Detector from Georgia Tech · · Score: 1

    university of wisconsin had the exact same thing, and i went there 5 years ago.

    my friend actually got kicked out of schoole for a year because his program matched someone else's like 95% or something.

    it compared variable names, syntax, style, and just general 'sameness'... i guess for most projects 50% would be average, and they just flag the ones way off the mean.

  17. ultimate webserver... on System of the Year, Linux Style · · Score: 1

    to bad they didn't use the box to host their site.

    /.'d in 2 minutes....

  18. Re:@home policy says... on Slashback: Bandwidth, Animation, Gruvin' · · Score: 1

    uhh.... maybe you use your internet for email, AOL IM and a random stupid /. post, but i use it for many file and web servers that run my business.

    I send out (upload) over 8 GIGS of data a day. My company pays $89 a month for my service. If they cap it (not let me use network access i pay for) they are handicapping my ability to run a business.

    and that GODDAMN would be a GODDAMN problem for me.

  19. Re:Isn't using GPS free? if so why spend capital? on European Space Agency Developing GPS Rival · · Score: 1

    public GPS has a built in "fuzzifier" that purposely gives false data off by like 100 yards or so i guess.

    military GPS receivers don't have that 'flaw'.

    there are already like 6 other satellites run by europe that when used with GPS together offer accurate results, and i can do it all with my magellan on my palm, so it obviously isn't just for the military anymore

  20. use both... on European Space Agency Developing GPS Rival · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    ... and target us landmarks more accurately.

    great, give the terrorists another tool...

  21. take what you can get! on What's It Like Working For Worldcom? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    man, in this job market, if worldcom will pay you for dicking around with computers all day on multi million dollar networks and 16 processor servers... uh take that job.

  23. Re:1984 Anyone? on Microsoft Edits English · · Score: 1

    that would be the perfect feature, because when i write rap sonds, i think i use 'jew' 'gay' and 'nigger' way too much... if it could provide alternatives such as 'ass-master' automatically it would make my life a lot easier.

  24. Re:Lame? on Apple releases iPod · · Score: 2, Informative

    i have a 40GB archos studio 20 (i upgraded the hd... just swap them out)
