  1. Re:Just give me my Loveline. on Revolutionary Ideas for Radio Regulation · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    There was a stream of Loveline? When, where? What happend to it, I would LOVE to see a shoutcast stream of loveline!

  2. Re:Finally on Schedule? on Gnome 2.0 RC1 · · Score: 1

    Who cares if its a Microsoft like UI, its still Linux and its still stable isnt it? One of the things that helped Microsoft become such a standard WAS their UI. I say if Gnome makes their UI like Microsoft, more power to them. It will only help bring more of the mases away from MS and closer to Linux. In fact, anyone that comes up with a clone of the MS UI for Linux will quickly gain a user base.

  3. Re:Unwired's website seems to have been un-wired : on Australia's First Commercial Fixed Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    Must be those new lightbulbs that cause interference with WiFi :)

  4. How long? on Australia's First Commercial Fixed Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    I guess the Aussies didnt read the slashdot article that was posted TWICE I might add about the new energy saving lightbulbs causing interference with wireless networks? How long before their 110 Million dollar network stops working?

  5. Its time on P2P Television? · · Score: 1

    Time to break out those DRM helmets that fog up when you see something you havent paid for.

  6. Sci-Fi comes true??? on Planetary System Similar to Sol · · Score: 1

    Maybe we really will travel thousands of billions of miles away to 'Earth2' only to be stranded, live with 'terrestrials', and idiots that want to petrify the land for them selves. On the upside we'll have one really hot doctor ;-)

  7. Re:Damnit on NVIDIA's Pixel & Vertex Shading Language · · Score: 1

    I got the Gainward GF4 TI4600....extremely overclockable *nerd smile face*

    Pluralists would have us to believe that Christianity is just as good as Islam, but I'm here to tell you, sisters and brothers, that Christianity is not just as good as Islam ...Christianity was founded by Jehovah, a demon-possessed incestuous pedophile who had 1 wife -- and she was his 13-year-old mother. And I will tell you Jehovah is not Allah either. Allah's not going to turn you into a terrorist nation that'll try to bomb people for their oil and drop atomic bombs on surrendering nations and take the lives of thousands and thousands of non-Christian people at the whim of your multinational corporations.

    Funny how you post that as "Anonymous Coward". Just makes me laugh. Stay on topic with the article, and mods....please dont mark me down for this.

  9. Damnit on NVIDIA's Pixel & Vertex Shading Language · · Score: 1

    I just bought my GeForce 4 TI4600. *sigh* Looks like Ill have to give my other ARM and LEG to pay for the upcoming GeForce 5.

  10. Didnt it already go gold? on Warcraft III Gone Gold · · Score: 1

    I thought it was already out? Certainly is one of the most downloaded files on dalnet. Oh wait....

    Anyway to quote
    Please consider the fact that Blizzard is suing people who write software to interoperate with theirs when deciding whether you want to purchase this game.

    Dont worry slashdot, I wont BUY the game, Ill get a copy and support people who write software to interoperate with
    Blizzards

  11. Well on Web Database Applications with PHP & MySQL · · Score: 1

    You dont really need a book, but I bought one back when I first started php/mysql it was really helpful. Link Here.

    Hemos pulled a ChrisD. What, somebody had to say it!

  13. I bet this will cost me... on WiFi, Light Bulbs, And The FCC · · Score: 1

    ....but its too irresistable
    To quote a famous rapper, modified for the slashdot masses

    So the FCC won't let me be
    Or let me be me so let me see
    They tried to shut me down on 802.11b

  14. New meaning on Live via Satellite: NATO Aerial Surveillance Video · · Score: 1

    We ran an older story about the military's growing bandwidth crunch.

    I guess if you get drafted it gives new meaning to the phrase "Will work for bandwidth?"

  15. Its not on Microsoft Case Proceeds · · Score: 1

    Its not Microsoft we have to worry about, its United Linux. Even the name suggests 'monopolistic evil'.

    Pee Ess
    Lighten up its a joke.

  16. Im scared on A Wireless Alliance Forms · · Score: 1

    A wireless alliance has formed between the likes of Nokia, Microsoft, Intel, Walt Disney Co.

    Do we really want companies like Microsoft, Intel, and Disney in an alliance over wireless?

  17. Thats great... on Inside the Joint Strike Fighter Competition · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Thats great but I still dont have my flying car, or the super smart robot that does all my homework that was promised back in the 50's to be here by now.

  18. Re:Slashdot coverup of X-Windows DoS? on Calculators vs. PDAs in the Classroom · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    This is interesting because recently I upgraded to RH 7.3, and in X I sometimes get a frozen box and find myself reaching for the reset button....hmmm. Does anyone using RH 7.3 have this problem, or a fix to it?

  19. TI-86 on Calculators vs. PDAs in the Classroom · · Score: 3, Funny

    I always remember playing SimCity on my friends TI-86 during math class, does this mean I can play it on a PDA too?! Anyone else play SimCity on a TI? It was pretty damned good for a calc game.

  20. HA! on Universal, Sony Cutting Prices on Downloaded Music · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Thats funny, Ive always gotten my MP3s for free, I thought thats what EVERYONE did? They cant compete with free, ever, PERIOD.

  21. Eh.... on Making Users Back Up Important Data? · · Score: 1

    Automated software on ALL the workstations...are you NUTS? Just set up a server and have their logins map out a home directory based on their username, then tell them if they dont save their files to their home directory, anything that happens is not your fault and they are SOL. Linux/Samba would be good for this, just set up a cronjob that backs up something like /home/directory/*users*/ nightly to a tape drive.

  22. Finally! on Logitech Pocket Digital Review · · Score: 1

    Something to rival those damn X10 cams. And now that Im going off to college in co-ed dorms...maybe its small enough to hide in the girls showe...crap! Ive given away my plans, NOOOOO!

  23. Re:Hmmm. on Logitech Pocket Digital Review · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yes, I believe that every parent should give their hot 16+ year old daughter a digital camera to send *pictures* to all of her 'friends' on the internet.
