  1. New angle on ipod 'killer' on MP3 Player In An AK-47 Magazine · · Score: 1

    But it still weighs too much.

    Isn't it pathetic that capitalist America still hasn't come up with competition for the iPod? Even though the iPod's been out for at least 2 years?

  2. Come on slashdot on SCO Group Lawsuit Q&A · · Score: 1

    It's April 4th already. Enough with the April Fools jokes.

    *rolls eyes at the notion that SCO cares what I think*

  3. Re:But would it be good? on Would Free Music Sell Cars? · · Score: 1

    If I recall, it went like this (totally from memory):
    Big mac, mc blt,
    a quarter pounder with some cheese,
    filet of fish,
    a hamburger,
    a cheeseburger,
    a happy meal,
    mcnuggets, tasty golden fries,
    regular or larger sizes,
    and salads chef or garden
    or a chicken salad oriental
    big mcmuffins, hot hot cakes and saugsage,
    maybe biscuits bacon eggs, and sausage? ...I forget this part...
    i love mcdonalds good time great taste,
    can I get this all at one place?

    If the record sang back, "You won a million dollars", then you won.

    It was VERY catchy, or I wouldn't have remembered it all these years.

  4. Secret Plans on Teach A Robot To Drive, Win A Million Bucks · · Score: 1

    My secret plans include:
    Replica Sherman Tank.
    A bunch of X10 cameras.
    Chandelier Headlamps.
    "Born To Be Wild" by Steppenwolf.
    Case strip lights from ThinkLemming.
    Nintendo Power Glove.
    A Kompressor.
    Dreamcast Linux.
    The Dreamcast-Playing Turk.

  5. Remember Unnilseptium on Chemical Haiku: Elements' Qualities in a Few Syllables · · Score: 0

    Remember how they were going to have a systematic nomenclature for the elements? I.e. name=number in Russian?

    But we just couldn't give up our selfish ends, so we had to change the names to the discoverer.

    Eventually we'll be naming the elements after people, but the people will be named after numbers, so we'll have
    10736ium and 99335237864ium, (the 178th and 179th elements, respectively).

  6. that's nice on Building a Better Motorized Bicycle · · Score: 1

    But maybe this guy so-called "patent agent" would be doing a better service if he was out REJECTING sideways swinging, etc.

  7. Re:Use this attack against X-Box on Remote RSA Timing Attacks Practical · · Score: 1

    Yeah. But they should have waited for Palladium to go gold before they let everyone know the inherent flaw.

  8. SOS: Same old Sun on Sun Rethinking Linux Strategy Over SCO Lawsuit · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Whatever. Sun is so schizophrenic it's amusing.

    "Sell Solaris Computers" "Let's sell Intel computers running Linux." "Wait, uh, let's sell both" "Buy StarOffice" "Open Source StarOffice" "Uhh Whoops. Let's close source StarOffice again" "Whoa! This nanotechnology freaks me out. Maybe we should stop innovating altogether" "Java this. Java that. Java is great!" "Let's sue Microsoft and force them to include the latest Java on their desktop" "Strange, we don't seem to be using Java very often, I wonder if Microsft was on to something" "Whoa. SCO's suing everyone. Maybe we shouldn't be involved in Linux, after all."

  9. Pirate LINUX on Microsoft: 2003 and Beyond · · Score: 1

    Use the screenshots of longhorn to produce "Longhorn.exe". Release on Usenet. USE Piracy of Longhorn Linux to destroy Microsoft's Network of effects that Piracy helped create in the first place.

  10. Are you sure that Einstein was right? on Venezuela Falling Behind · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is this another example of special relativity? Or just another example of clocks malfunctioning which might lead one to believe that "time slows down".

  11. emperor's new clothes on Your Take On(line) Reality? · · Score: 1

    I don't actually read this site very often, but I happened upon it one day and I don't know what to make of it. Perhaps some slashdotters can either say, "no, this site is full of made up references" or "uhh, I guess I can't disprove what it says, so that means it's a pretty lousy world."
    anyways, I found out some information about the Serbians in World War II that seems likely to be true and interesting.
    Emperor's new clothes

  12. Here's the secret plan on Office 2003 Beta 2 Screen Shots · · Score: 1

    Get the screenshots.
    Make a theme.
    Add it to Knoppix default install.
    RELEASE the BINARY on USENET as WINDOWS LONGHORN OFFICE!!!
    As people begin to Pirate LINUX instead of WINDOWS, the monopoly of network effects will crumble.

    I think it's a good plan.

  13. It's time on "Clone Wars" Cartoon Shorts on Cartoon Network · · Score: 1

    For an underground, fan-produced, movie of the Star Wars Prequels using only scenes from the original trilogy and scenes from any of Jim Henson's serious films.

    GET 2 WORK!

  14. If cars were like computers on Understanding Moore's Law · · Score: 0

    they'd cost $25, get $1 Million MPG, travel 2000 MPH,

    and fit in the palm of your hands.

  15. Loose lips sink ships. on Palladium's Power To Deny · · Score: 1

    When MS releases the source for Palladium, nobody tell them about the security holes. Then, once Palladium ships with security holes, use the holes to install Linux over top the OS. Joy!

  16. Re:Speed of light on New Atomic Clock Pushes Boundaries of Accuracy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Actually, I was going to say, that I bet it only loses 1 second every 100 million years, except if you take the clock around real fast. Then it will seem to lose all kinds of seconds.

    But everyone will just say, "proves special relativity again" instead of "proves that moving fast messes up the timing of atomic clocks".

  17. Re:No magic -- sorry on Star Bridge FPGA "HAL" More Than Just Hype · · Score: 1

    I still think it would be cool to have a device that could play mp3s for a while, and then when a call came in, simply load in the wireless phone processor and go from there. I don't know if it would ever actually be cheaper than simply having both devices though.

  18. Re:The Mario series on NES PC · · Score: 1

    And what about Paper Mario. I thought that game was pretty cool.

  19. Pegleg Pete asks on Cashless Society · · Score: 1

    But which is easier to counterfeit: paper money, or Moneo money?

  20. Yeah, this is way more stylish... on Review of PCV-W10 Desktop by Sony · · Score: 1

    ... than a Playstation 2. That's about it. Sorry, but this "tower in the back of the monitor" design isn't really all that brilliant.

  21. Re:An Answer for Valenti on CD's on Jack Valenti's Views On The Digital Age · · Score: 1

    That's my favorite quote.

    "Who's going to produce them?"

    People who actually make music that's worth paying for. Aka fans of musicians and paypal.

  22. Re:Lol on Bush Names New Cyber Security Czar · · Score: 1

    Or a lawyer becomes a congressman.

    Same old story.

  23. Time's up on SBC Patents Links, Dynamic Pages · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's been seven years. Patent's over. Right?

  24. Re:HOW TO DO IT on AT&T Identifies Widespread Security Hole - In Locks · · Score: 1

    Hey, good idea. Let's 'reverse engineer' some of MS's code.

  25. Think Different on Elect Steve Jobs President of the United States · · Score: 1

    Everybody vote for Steve Jobs.
