    this is like the recent Saturday night live "weekend update" bit where tina fey says

    FEY: Scientists have discovered a gene which makes Onions water out eyes, creating the possibility for tearless onions

    FEY: Hey guys, why don't you work on that whole CANCER thing...that's a bit more pressing, just put the onion project aside and CURE CANCER

    /me crosses fingers that my packet detected ET

  9. yeah, bad idea on Week-Long Free-Software Class for Kids? · · Score: 2

    if my mom saw me come home with a shirt with the bsd daemon on it she would have flipped out that i had sold my soul to the devil regardless of how cute his sneakers were

  10. gah on Why The Dinosaurs Won't Die · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    sorry if i'm being callous or something, but I really thought that this was a flimsy article, the pictures could have probably been fetched from Google just as easily

    I hate to look down on slashdot submissions, but this really is rather weak

  16. hehe on Microsoft vs. Modded Xboxes · · Score: 2

    i just called xbox tech support about this and asked them what would happen if i tried to sign on with a mod chip

    the guys was really cool about it, he said that it "may or may not" work after i signed up

    he asked what it was for, i told him the xbox linux project...he tells me that he's done that to his own xbox and that it works great, but that he'd never tell his boss about it =]

  18. Re:Here's an idea... on Moving Your Kids to Linux? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    naa, i started using computers when i was 4 (C64 and sticky bear) and I see mto be a reasonable adult now. sure, all i want to do is work with computers, but simce it's gotten me a good job i can't complain

    and at that age I didn't JUST use the computer: my mom still read to me, taught me my ABC's and 123's and by the time i hit kindergarden i was already at a 2nd rgade level.

    At that age parents control the computer: let your kids experience it but in moderation and they'll be better for it technologically, but be sure to enrich them too

  19. Re:Headset play? on Xbox Live Goes Online · · Score: 2

    in public games you see a lot less of coordinated, useful use of the headset but in the Quake 3 Weapons factory clan that I am inout guys use voice chat extensively

    defense and offense team on their own channels, all telling each other where the eneimes are and how to eliminate them. It's a lot faster than typing to say the least, and bandwidth is actually not very noticeable

  20. fyi on Step 2, Groceries · · Score: 5, Informative

    newsweek had a similar story in last week's issue about more traditional brick 'n mortar grocery stores going online

    the thing with them, though, is that they already have a ton of locations and are in no rush to scale up their web orders: they already are in the black on the retail front and want to slowly and cautiously roll out the web strategy

    they also have an edge over the online start-ups through name recognition: it's a lot easier getting somebody who already shops at your store to try something new, rather than risk it on some company they've never heard of.

    i couldn't find the link at the Newsweek site, but the issue may still be on shelves at stores around the country until monday or tuesday

    i think it's about time for another world war...against Europe! ...wait, bush is already starting to do this....is "The Chamber of Secrets" avaliable in Iraq?

  24. Re:Of course... on Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets Leaked · · Score: 4, Interesting

    precisely: my dad has gotten into downloading these movies through the various means but i just hate watching them. only two ways that i want to see a movie:

    1) in the theatre, with big sound, good video, and a air-conditioned room and,

    2) in my home theatre, with a pause button when i want a snack

    however, i wouldn't discount suspicions that the movie biz leaks these movies themselves not only to get free press from it ( CNN will cover is as they are in bed with AOL/TW, and the others will probably do it too in the end) but these "constant" leaks will only provide more backing for any pending DMCA or other MPAA litigation
