  1. Re:NOVA on PBS had a special about this field on Humans in America 25,000 Years Ago? · · Score: 1

    I saw the same special. I found the part where they tried to tie arrowhead techniques used in prehistoric France with the same technique used in prehistoric North America. Fascinating stuff.

  2. France Has Access To Cheaper Power on EU Intent on Hosting International Fusion Reactor · · Score: -1, Troll

    France would be an ideal location because of their readily available power generation facilities. Hot air production per capita is higher than any other country.

  3. Extra information on China to Have Over 100 Eyes in the Sky · · Score: 2, Funny
  4. Subversion Training on Open Source Expertise in Short Supply · · Score: 1

    I'm learning this the hard way. I talked our company into using Subverion for our project but finding a Subversion trainer has proven difficult.

  5. FCC: evil or not? on FCC Rules States Can't Regulate VoIP · · Score: 2, Funny

    So , is the FCC the evil pawn of the Republican party today or not?

  6. Developer & XML Guru Needed on Techies Migrate in Search of Work · · Score: 1
    I'm being funded for a R&D project by my company. I'm trying to recruit a creative developer with C/C++ skills and knowledge of XML parsing. The position will be located in Melbourne, FL.

    Just trying to help. Reply to this if you are interested.

  7. Did MS make them fire Chris Stone Too? on Microsoft Pays $536M to Novell · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Or did he quit in protest? From last weeks story: Open Source Advocate VP Chris Stone Leaves Novell

  8. Wrong on Blackboxvoting.org Raises Vote-Audit FOIA Request · · Score: 1

    The machine that tallied my vote (Satellite Beach, FL) wasn't from Diebold. A bunch of us in line were wondering why there were'nt even voting machines. Just a marker and a paper ballot being tallied by a scanner.

  9. Kerry is a loser. on Kerry Concedes Election To Bush · · Score: 1

    Another way of stating the outcome.

  10. MPIO on More iPod Killers Introduced for the Holiday · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I've had an MPIO FL100 since I bought it last christmas. MPIO/Digitalway, the manfacturer, does a better job than most electronics manufactures in updating the firmware. For a craction of a price, at least take a look. The iPod is a sexy piece of electronics though.

  11. Crash Test Dummies on Waterproof MP3 Player Uses Bone Conduction · · Score: 1

    I wonder what that Crash Test Dummies song Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm sounds like? Would your head simply shatter and explode?

  12. Re:Community Standards on FCC's Powell vs. Howard Stern on KGO-AM · · Score: -1, Troll

    Bite my ass?

  13. Community Standards on FCC's Powell vs. Howard Stern on KGO-AM · · Score: 0, Troll

    Because the bandwith is limited and the government is forced to regulate the airwaves to keep the marketplace orderly, radio and TV are fundamentally different than cable TV or the internet. Consumers who want access to the information have fewer choices.

    Stern is a professional asshole. I listen to him regularly, but pushed the envelope to make money folks. I'd like to show up with a septic truck and dump 2000 gallons of raw sewage on his doorstep to give him a taste of his own medicine.

    Freedom of speech isn't an absolute freedom. With any RIGHT come a corresponding RESPONSABILITY. Stern and his ilk never accept responsability for their actions.

  14. Me Too on Samsung to use Sub-Pixel VGA Screens · · Score: 1

    I ordered a Dell 8600 last week for my mom and chose a lower resolution screen as an option thinking I was choosing the higher resolution. WTF? WXGA?

  15. Antenna on Hot-Rodding A Bluetooth Adapter · · Score: 1

    I read the article in the magazine and they just soldered an antenna to a bluetooth adapter. How could putting a bigger antenna on a receiver cause interference?

  16. Economics on Every 5th Call At Dell Is Spyware-Related · · Score: 1

    So, when does it become sensible for Dell to spend the money on per-installed, fully licensed Spyware and Antivirus software? Though they do install MCafee software, it requires the user to fork out more money past the investment in the computer itself (no to mention it also sucks in its current incarnation).

  17. Better: Grep For Windows on Google Launches Desktop Search Tool · · Score: 1

    http://www.wingrep.com/

    I combine this with XPDF.org's PDF to text converter.

  18. Sounds a lot like religion on Java 1.5 vs C# · · Score: -1, Troll

    Just that some sell their soul to the devil.

  19. Fraud on FCC Internet Grant Decision Riles Congress · · Score: 1

    Where was Slashdot when all the fraud was being reported?

  20. Thanks for the F'ing Popups on Washington State Archives Go Digital · · Score: 3, Informative
    If you can't bother to find a link to a web resource in an article about a web resource, you shouldn't post it!

  21. Emergency Brakes on A Car With A Mind Of Its Own · · Score: 1, Informative

    Don't know about French cars, but all card sold in the US have Emergency Brakes that are mechanical brakes. You pull the handle and a cable activates the brakes.

  22. No Way! on Global Internet Telescope Tops Hubble's Resolution · · Score: 2, Funny
    picking out a small building on the surface of the Moon

    Silly wabbit, everyone knows the secret buildings on the moon are either underground or otherwise camouflaged!

  23. 2005 Nominee on 2004 Ig Nobel Prizes Announced · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    Too late for the 2004 awards, but for 2005 I hearby nominate John Kerry:

    Applied Method Of Salting The Earth in Another Country Using Radiowaves:

    KERRY: The time line that I've set out -- and again, I want to correct the president, because he's misled again this evening on what I've said. I didn't say I would bring troops out in six months. I said, if we do the things that I've set out and we are successful, we could begin to draw the troops down in six months.

    And I think a critical component of success in Iraq is being able to convince the Iraqis and the Arab world that the United States doesn't have long-term designs on it.

    As I understand it, we're building some 14 military bases there now, and some people say they've got a rather permanent concept to them.

    When you guard the oil ministry, but you don't guard the nuclear facilities, the message to a lot of people is maybe, "Wow, maybe they're interested in our oil."

  24. Does this belong on Slashdot? on Senator Alleges White House Wrote Allawi's Speech · · Score: -1, Troll

    How low is this place gonna sink? Republishing uncorroborated half-truths from one of the biggest political hacks in the House?

  25. Sure, crap on them a little more. on Navy ELF to Be Scrapped · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    So ,rather than applaud the move you decide to shit on the Navy a litte more. Thanks.
