  1. James Doohan AKA Scotty on James Doohan Not In A Coma and Likely To Survive · · Score: 4, Informative

    Here is some biographical info on the beloved "Scotty" of Star Trek.

  2. The Best Part... on Provigil Extends Your Day? · · Score: 1

    One particularly noteworthy effect ... is that all of my dreams are very intense and I find myself remembering them as well, down to minute details.

    If I were to take this up, this would probably be why. :)

  3. Oakley X Metal on The Sexiest Metal · · Score: 1

    Check out these Oakley sunglasses with titanium frames - not cheap by any means, but very, very sexy!

  4. When all else fails... on Do Programming Languages Affect Your Sexual Performance? · · Score: 1

    Looking for that perfect programming language that really gets your "mojo" pumping? Give one of these 227 programming languages a try... I'm sure one of them is bound to turn you on.

  5. Re:Hardware? Software? on SSSCA Introduced in Senate · · Score: 1

    Software inside hardware is most often referred to as firmware.

  6. Perhaps a gift... on OddTod Laid Low by the Law · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe if he sends the Department of Labor a box of fudge stripe cook-ayes they'll forgive him. :)

  7. I find myself in a Similar Situation... on Open Source as Programming Exp. for College Students? · · Score: 1

    I'm well on my way to graduating with a CS degree, but nothing beats real world experience. According to my advisor, if a potential employer sees an internship or a summer job that involves tasks similar to the position you are seeking, they are almost sure to give you a second look, and possibly a third.

    Does anyone know if a hobby shareware site counts as job experience?

  8. ANTI-PayPal Communities on Class Action Lawsuit Says PayPal Restricted Funds · · Score: 5, Informative

    Visit PayPalSucks.com for an entire community pissed off at PayPal.com's practices.

  9. $500? on Copyright Office Proposes Webcasting Regs · · Score: 0

    So in effect this means that to remain completely legal, every Shoutcast server streaming any copyrighted music will have to fork over a minimum of $500 a year to keep rockin their tunes? What about those with a mix of original creations and other copyrighted material? Do I get a discount if I stream Prodigy along with my friends original techno mixes?

  10. Re:Karma Whoring on Most Detailed Image Of Earth Yet · · Score: 0

    Wow, I think I spotted Osama in that 450mb TIFF file.

  11. Re:Upper Headroom? on Intel "Northwood" vs. Athlon XP 2000+ · · Score: 0

    This article at The Register lays out what Intel will be doing over the next few months. By June the P4 should be up to 2.4 GHz with a 533Mhz bus. April will prove to be a big month for Intel if they stay true to the projected release dates.

  12. Re:Here's the simplified version: on The America Online Protocol Revealed · · Score: 0

    Maybe that's why the AOL client crashes so much - you forgot to declare your monthly_fee variable.

  13. Predicted 400 years ago - Nostradamus on U.S. Attack -- More Updates · · Score: 0, Troll

    "In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb" , "The third big war will begin when the big city is burning"
    - Nostradamus 1654

  14. Why Now? on Borders Nixes Face Recognition · · Score: 1

    Our great country has survived 225 years without the use of face recognition. We didn't need it then, and we don't need it now. This is just another example of the corporate mongers testing the boundries of privacy to pad their own private wallets.

  15. Re:Promising Future on Linux Is 10 Today · · Score: 2

    ... In terms of ease-of-use, software library size, and compatibility with other products/devices. Currently, Linux does not compare to Windows in these aspects.

  16. Promising Future on Linux Is 10 Today · · Score: 1

    Given that Linux is only 10 years old, this proves that the future is very bright and has a very good chance to eventually compete and surpass Microsoft Windows. Windows 1.0 was released in 1985(?), meaning MS has a 6 year head start on the Linux OS. It's fairly obvious that in 6 years, Linux will far surpass what Windows is today.

    Happy Birthday Linux!!

  17. Re:That Poor Poor Box on Human Clock (Complete with Hands!) · · Score: 1

    The poor bastard never stood a chance :(

  18. AOL wants my domain as well on Aimster Loses Domain to AOL · · Score: 1

    I found this article very interesting, given the fact that I'm going through the exact same thing with AOL over a domain that I own. I currently own EnhanceAOL.com. It redirects to my site, where I sell software that enhances the AOL client software. I have received a letter from their Intellectual Property lawyers essentially saying "Give us the domain or else!" I have yet to respond to their demands, but considering I don't have the money to take on a billion-dollar corporation, I don't see too many options in my situation. I personally think it's stupid that any trademarked letters found in a domain name can be essentially hijacked by the owner of the trademark. Government needs to find a way to more vigorously regulate the actions of giant corps such as AOL and Microsoft. In the meantime, I'll be forking over my domain name to AOL so they can sit on it and marvel at their own magnificence as they claim rights to every domain containing the three sequential letters a-o-l and a-i-m.
