  1. Re:nowhere on Another $99 Web Terminal · · Score: 1

    You wouldn't want this anyway. Converting the signal from analog back into digital for the LCD screws everything up. I just got a new computer at the office with an LCD display, at first we had it hooked up to the analog VGA port on the card and it looked worse than a regular CRT. After we got the direct digital connection going everything was much clearer.

  2. Re:It only HURTS the consumer... on AT&T Ends Bid To Buy @Home Assets · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    From your atrocious spelling and poor arithmetic I'm guessing you're a student at Iowa State. Am I right?

  3. Re:Affecting every day life? on Physicists War Over a Unified Theory · · Score: 1

    Well, because of SR you can fit a 20-foot ladder inside a 10-foot barn, if you run fast enough. I think that's pretty useful. :-)

  4. Re:wow on U.S. Playstation 2 Linux Hits the Streets. · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Yeah, this is gonna be just as big a hit as the Coleco Adam, maybe even bigger! After all, who wouldn't want to do a little word processing on his game console?

  5. Re:Hi. I'm Brian Eno. on 10th Anniversary of Quicktime · · Score: 1

    Well, sure, but he WAS a founding member of Roxy Music, the greatest band ever. That excuses a lot of faults in my book.

  6. Re:Quicktime for IRIX on 10th Anniversary of Quicktime · · Score: 1

    Perhaps Apple is perfectly happy with Quicktime the way it is, and doesn't want to bother supporting a bunch of whiny Linux lusers? You know you dolts would only bitch, after they gave it to you for free, about how sucky it is, etc. It's not worth their time.

  7. Re:The heart of any operating system? on Interview with Adam Di Carlo (Debian Boot) · · Score: 1

    Could it be ... Satan? Well, isn't that special!

  8. Re:Real Slashdotters on Some People @Home, Some Not @Home · · Score: 1, Funny

    You love those sites enough to cache them locally? You make me sick!

  9. Re:That's called: propaganda on DOJ Already Monitoring Cable Internet Traffic · · Score: 1

    Yeah, execute 'em! That'll show 'em that killing is just not tolerated in the US!

  10. Re:11 board members? on Gnome Preliminary Election Results In · · Score: 1

    It's one louder than ten.

  11. Re:Great... on Slashback: Regionalism, Rivalry, Zensur · · Score: 1

    I was using this for awhile on my Mac back before I upgraded to OS X. It's actually quite usable, although it doesn't support all of X so some things didn't work quite right. It's worth a try anyway, the price is right. :-)

  12. Re:What is Somalia? on U.S. Shuts Down Somalia Internet Access · · Score: 1

    It's long, round, and spicy. Hope this helps.

  13. Re:A history lesson for ya on U.S. Shuts Down Somalia Internet Access · · Score: 1

    Look, I can see how much fun you're having playing the realist in a sea of muddle-headed idealists, but this is a bit over the top. Are you really ready to condemn the entire populace over the actions of a small number of guys with guns? It's not like they were a popularly supported government or anything. Having a little compassion won't kill you, even W says so.

  14. Re:By your silly definition, Mr. Editor, on Freedom or Power? · · Score: 1

    Not everyone accepts Stallman's arbitrary redefinitions of common words.

  15. Re:freedom or power on Freedom or Power? · · Score: 1

    Are you claiming that software is a "basic need"? If so, please explain how people managed to survive before computers were invented.

  16. Re:That seems a bit strange. on Red Hat Proposes Alternative Settlement To MSFT · · Score: 1
    more businesses are moving over from Windows to Linux than the other way around

    Yeah, and more people are moving from life to death than the other way around, too.

  17. Re:Another acknowledgement on KDE 2.2.2 · · Score: 1

    For the stuffing?

  18. Re:Remembering Bob on Do You Remember Bob? · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's when my father bought his Gateway too, I remember helping him set it up and getting a kick out of Bob. Totally useless, but the little geography quiz game rocks! We played it for hours.

  19. Re:Isn't this more beautiful? on The Guts Of An iPod · · Score: 1

    Why don't you just redeem that pile of empty Busch Light cans in the corner and buy a Mac? You know you want to join us. :-)

  20. Re:Change to SafeSurf act. on Slashback: Scramjet, Golden Ears, Preciousness · · Score: 1

    LOL. Either that or just mark everything as unsuitable for anyone whatsoever and forget about it. Those kiddies are smart, they'll find a way to get at it anyway.

  21. Re:Controversial? on Road Runner Doesn't Do XP · · Score: 1

    My first thought was that this story was another fine product from the "controversial news site" adequacy.org. No such luck though, it appears.

  22. Re:Go KMelon on Netscape 6.2 · · Score: 1

    Is this some new rap group or something?

  23. Re:WineX could work iff.... on Maxis Developer on Linux Game Porting · · Score: 1

    It's a common mathematical shorthand for 'if and only if'. Hope this helps.

  24. Re:What a fanboy on Wil Wheaton Responds to your Questions. · · Score: 1

    Yeah, everyone knows the real key to geekhood is atrocious spelling. Am I right, dork?

  25. Re:Why Linux isn't on the desktop or never will be on Why Linux is About to Lose · · Score: 1

    I guess the spell-checkers available for Linux really do suck.
