  1. Why not pray? It can't hurt on Prayer Does Not Help Heart Patients · · Score: 1

    You (and family members) may as well pray - it's unlikely that there's a God out there that will respond "he's praying to me. Smite him! Smite him now!". Just don't rely on prayer as the only course of action.

  2. Re:Obvious feature missing... on Wireless Bluetooth 2.1 Speakers · · Score: 1

    I suppose you could make a case for being wired up to wireless speakers but it seems to me that wireless headphones would be a better solution.

  3. I like the change on Slashdot Index Code Update · · Score: 1

    I see you've removed the curve so that the abbreviated sections no longer look like part of the preceding article - kudos - but for an even better enhancement I like the idea of the half-circle at the start of the abbreviated sections.

  4. Re:The missing article on Boosting Socket Performance on Linux · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Are you a /. editor? If your suggestion appeared on the front page it would be a dupe. See here.

  5. Don't let... on Boosting Socket Performance on Linux · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Bell South hear about this.

  6. Another application for math on Mathematics Skills More in Demand Than Ever · · Score: 5, Funny

    statistics, advertising, search engines, and algorithms.

    and Texas Hold'em.

  7. Open source opportunity on Open Source Accessibility · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Now's the chance for open source advocates to show the power of open source. If enough volunteers step forward to resolve the accessibility issues in OpenOffice so that Massachusetts can go forward with their Open Document initiative then it will be a huge feather in the open source cap.

  8. Re:Sony Rootkit News Absent From CNN on Trojan Using Sony DRM Rootkit Spotted · · Score: 1

    Here you go. The globetechnology site belongs to the Globe & Mail newspaper group.

  9. Re:My objection to the article: on Condensing Your Life on to a USB Flash Drive? · · Score: 1

    Well if this is a joke it's over my head. The second item on the list is a spoon.

  10. Schroedinger? on Ladies and Gentlemen Allow Me to Introduce the Cat Car · · Score: 1

    So Schrödinger will never know if his car will start?

  11. Re:Slow learners on Secretaries Sacked After Flamewar at Work · · Score: 1

    Investment bankers; here's a link.

  12. Re:Tragically... on Hydrogen Stored in Safe High Density Pellets · · Score: 5, Funny

    Modded funny? This sounds like flamebait to me.

  13. Take over the world, Pinky! on Who Should Help LinuxFund Distribute $126,155.29? · · Score: 1

    By my calcs, at a nickle each we could pwn 2,523,105 PC bots.

  14. Re:Incorrect use of latin on The Worst Foods to Eat Over a Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Didn't I see you in "Life of Brian"?

  15. Re:Cool Job Opportunity on Utah Governor Signs Net-Porn Bill · · Score: 1

    Requiring proximity to saltwater doesn't rule out Utah. Any guesses as to why the capital of Utah is known as "Salt Lake City"?

  16. Re:Gloating? on SCO Possibly Delisted from NASDAQ · · Score: 1

    I think you meant "litigious bastards"

  17. Re:I barter.... on What Do You Charge for Tech Support? · · Score: 1

    why do you need a stockbroker? doesn't sound like you have any money.

  18. Font change required? on AI Bots Pick The Hits of Tomorrow · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Did anyone else wonder "who the heck is Al Bots?"

  19. Re:Someone follow that example. on Identity Theft from University Computers · · Score: 1

    I, for one, bow to our new sarcastic overlord!!

  20. Now can I buy from the States? on Canada Quashes Copyright Tax on MP3 Players · · Score: 3, Informative

    Whenever I investigate buying a new electronic device from the U.S., I cannot complete the transaction because the vendor will not ship to Canada. I've seen this on thinkgeek and amazon. I wonder if this is (one) bottleneck and the removal of the levy will allow cross-border shopping?

  21. Re:Some possibilities to check out on BitTorrent Servers Under DDoS Attacks · · Score: 4, Funny

    I must be a long-time member. I don't think I've ever been able to respond to a "low slashdot ID" comment with "that's not low, you nube".

  22. Re:Geez, how about a Spoiler Warning? on Adieu to Ken Jennings · · Score: 1

    BTW, the lone gunmen are dead.

  23. Oxymoron? on Blackboxvoting.org Raises Vote-Audit FOIA Request · · Score: 2, Funny

    From outside the United States "American democracy" is right up there with "jumbo shrimp" and "plastic glass".

  24. Re:Money on Ask Ubuntu Founder (And Astronaut) Mark Shuttleworth · · Score: 1

    Why do you need money? You're already FortKnox.

  25. Re:Why buy? on Google Slashes IPO price · · Score: 1

    Not forced to go public, but since they were forced into the reporting pain because of number of shareholders then they may as well get the benefits of going public.
