  1. Re:Revenge of the Spelling Nazi and Grammar Troll on Hackers, Spelling, and Grammar? · · Score: 2, Funny
    Yes, good humor, understanding, and basic people skills.

    Oh snap! I'ma hafta remember dat, yo.

  2. Re:In other news... on Java: One Step Closer To Open Source · · Score: 2, Funny

    Fan belt demand sharply skyrockets as Slashdotters attempt to overclock their Ford boxen.

  3. Re:Too late Java is not cool anymore on Java: One Step Closer To Open Source · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I mean, I can spot a Java application light years away.

    Perhaps Java's widget defaults aren't set to please everyone, but if someone releases a program that looks like ass it's their fault, not Sun's.

  4. Re:problems with Java on Java: One Step Closer To Open Source · · Score: 1

    Most definitely. I can run Eclipse for days without restarting or noticable memory leak.

    Javaw.exe's size represents Java's foot print AND your code's memory usage.

    Randy Smith rules.

  6. Re:1.5 gig? FM radio? USB 2.0? OGG!?! on Dcube: Portable Audio With Ogg And A Scroll Wheel · · Score: 1

    > works on both major desktop OS platforms

    Ture, but it's worth pointing out that you have to pick one or the other =(

  7. Re:CONTRIBUTE on Interview with Student Sued by RIAA · · Score: 1


    *eats flamebait*

    While RPI is expensive I can tell you that I along with many other students went there only because of financial aid and/or ROTC.

    But the 6 figures part was right on.

  8. of course it's about social engineering on The Art of Deception · · Score: 1

    He couldn't use technology! This book is a triumph considering the constrictions that Kevin was under and I was happy to have bought it. I can't remember the last time I bought a hard cover.

    Anyways, OF COURSE it's NOT about hacking. He hasn't had the chance to hack anything in years. He couldn't use the internet until last week for Jiminey Crickets! Not to mention that the NAME OF THE BOOK is "The Art of Deception". Everyone who thought Kevin was going to deceive some buffers into overflowing with this book should be round up and shot with nerf munitions.

    Anyways, I'M enjoying it. If you causually follow the hacker scene you'll be happy with the first couple chapters. I'm in the middle of reading it now. Njoy.

  9. SKATEBOARDS DON'T HAVE HANDLE BARS!! on Skateboarding AIBO · · Score: 1

    duh ...

  10. Actually, some dogs can skate on Skateboarding AIBO · · Score: 1

    First there was the little bulldog from the Powell and Peralta video "Public Domain" and then much later there was Flower, Matt Field's dog.

    It might look like the dog is posing, but she can push and turn and actually skate down hills.

    And since it's Slashdot I have to be picky and point out that the AIBO's skateboard has handle bars and is therefore some kind of scooter or hand-truck.

  11. Speed O light, Schmeed O light on Speed Of Light Broken With Off Shelf Components · · Score: 1

    Seems trivial when compared to this other New Scientist story

  12. bike adapter? on First Wind-up Phone Charger Review · · Score: 1

    wouldn't the environmentally conscious also be riding a bike to work? Think of the potential charge when you are at the top of a hill ...

  13. Re:They already have the wireless controller on Motorola, Nintendo, & Sony Towards Wireless Gaming · · Score: 1
    > ... wireless power supply ...

    Oh wouldn't that make Tesla proud!

  14. My Taco's on Broadway on Spam Doesn't Work? · · Score: 1
    > If Spam didn't work, why do I get a hundred pieces of it every morning?

    Uh, maybe because you're email address is all over http://slashdot.org everyday?

  15. poop on Will Instant Messaging Ever Unite? · · Score: 1
    How is this a front page story?

    a) who cares? you've got your favorite, so screw that one friend who uses the other IMer, you didn't need him anyways.

    b) it's not in a single company's best interest so it's never going to happen

    c) these kinds of articles are only going to alert lawyers about your rogue client projects and piss them off.

    d) cell phones are keep, and face time is a key factor in sex. get off the computer.

  20. Reccomend a gaming LCD?? on Tom Reviews 13 LCD Displays · · Score: 1

    Are there any LCDs that cut the mustard for a current FPS??

  21. well duh on Why Nobody Likes E-Books · · Score: 5, Insightful

    People who read lots of book, those that would see the greatest benefits of a portable reader, actually love books themselves! They like personal libraries, the weight of a good book in their hand, and honestly have some kind of tactile fixation with page turning. Most everyone but the geeky fifteen year-olds (god bless their hearts) mentioned in an article below are actually trying to get away from the monitor at the end of the day.

  22. Re:Problems on Comic Books And The Internet, Continued · · Score: 1

    Not only is paper a beautiful medium, it's potential DPI far exceeds any monitor that I'd consider buying at this point, it only takes a moment to download from the bookshelf to the comfy chair, and you can leave it on during takeoff and landing.

  23. woohoo! on High Tech in Africa: Geeks Needed · · Score: 1

    I'm all ready to run down to the motherland and build a digital infrastructure for rich minorities and dictactors.

    That way all the African 1337 can send emails to the rest of the world requesting help fighting real problems like AIDS instead of just sending snail mail and footage of poor dying children.

    I guess there's just too many young aspiring diamond cutters in their private school system.

  25. files on ps2 memory carts on PS2 As PC · · Score: 3
    it sure would break the ice at job interviews if you could bring your resume on PS2 memory. After reading it over, you and the interviewer could knock out some Tony Hawk with a saved game.
