  1. Re:minnesota on MSN Forces Outlook POP · · Score: 2

    You know, my qwest DSL went down last night(longer than normal), and with this whole MSN thing, I'm really tempted to switch to sihope now, not just because a friend of mine is egging me to switch.

  2. Re:The Catch? on Building Cheap 100 Inch TVs · · Score: 2

    So will future slashdot articles feature items advertised in comic books, you know the, ones you can get if you sell 8000 copies of GRIT magazine? If so, I would like some expert Linux help on the cardboard submarine.

    I think X-entertainment had articles on such scams intended towards kids. I'm glad they've moved up to scams for adults.

  3. Question on 54 Mbps/100 Mbps Wireless LAN · · Score: 4, Funny

    Does it work with NetStumbler?

  4. Re:Who is making these decisions? on Sega To Take X-Box To Arcades · · Score: 2

    What I've noticed that's popular are those MIdway MegaTouch games(which is no more than a PC with a touchscreen display) that only costs a quarter to play games like Wheel of Fortune and TONS of others.

  5. Re:What's the point? on TeleZapper - A Way to Avoid Telemarketers? · · Score: 2

    No, I've hung up on AT&T numerous times and they kept calling me on an almost daily basis until I told them to put me on the list.

    Now only if Qwest would stop bugging me about custom choice(I must have a certain set of features turned on to provoke them to bug me abuot it) since I wouldn't use half of those features anyway.

  6. Re:My solution to telemarketers on TeleZapper - A Way to Avoid Telemarketers? · · Score: 2

    What about if your home landline # rolls over to your cell phone? That's why I keep my cell phone off during office hours.

  7. Re:Torn from the pages of DUH magazine.... on Stallman, Torvalds, Sakamura win Takeda Prize · · Score: 2

    Im giggling my ass off here. If I had some mod points(increase the monthly rations!), You'd get a +1 funny.

  8. uh on Lego Mindstorms In Space · · Score: 1

    Okay, what's a valid referrer? I tried going to babelfish.altavista.com, then the mentinoed link, and it still didn't like it.

  9. Re:Gotta say it... on Bert Is Evil · · Score: 2

    Yes, I know that's the right way to say it, but if you write it on a bomb, the ME reference is funnier.

  10. Re:popular yahoo photo? on Bert Is Evil · · Score: 3, Funny

    You were looking at that? I was looking at the hot blonde. Do you Porn?

  11. Re:Next Thing.... on Bert Is Evil · · Score: 4, Funny

    And of course...

    "Someone set us up ME!" - good message intended towards bomb handlers.

  12. erector on Erector Set Turns 100 · · Score: 2

    I had the Maxx Steele erector set as a kid. For someone who was a whiz at Lego, I never did complete building of that Maxx Steele robot. I had difficulty with the instructions of which piece(since some were remarkably similar in size) whent where, and just gave up.

    Now, I spend my time trying to design Lego car transmissions and I'm 25 years old. I have no life.

  13. AOHell? on The America Online Protocol Revealed · · Score: 2, Funny

    Does this mean a stronger, better, more annoying version of AoHell will be released?

    Alternate version:

    ALl your AL-Queda are belong to us.

    Al-Queda(however you spell it) is Arabic for "base", which is the name of Bin Laden's gang.

    Expect a new version of the AYB animated gif soon.

  16. Boardwatch? on A Documentary About Bulletin Board Systems · · Score: 2

    Is boardwatch still aronud? I actually saw an issue around when BBSes died(mid '90s), and I Must say it was quite a disappointing issue. All it was was basically a nationwide listing of dial-up ISPs.

    It was sad.

  17. Re:Yet another example on Compaq Recalls Notebook AC Adapters · · Score: 2

    Which models? my Battery on my Presario 1200 went kaput a while ago.

  18. label makers on New Cell Phone Typing Solution · · Score: 2

    We have a label maker at work, and since it's a narrow "box" basically, there are several rows of letters and numbers.

    Sounds easy to type in your message in the little LCD thing, right?

    Wrong. No matter how many times I use it, my typing speed drops dramatically, since I spend most of my time looking for the right letter to hit. Yet, on my Qualcomm, I can punch in a name much easier.

  19. Wait a sec on Private Rocketplane Test A Success · · Score: 1, Troll

    "isopropyl alcohol and liquid oxygen. "

    Wait a minute, what did the Nazis use for rocket fuel for the Me. 163 Komet? Wasn't one of the components pure hydrogen peroxide, making it VERY dangerous to work with?

    I dunno ,EZ-Rocket doesn't sound too safe to me. Nor does "Nuclear Reactor In a Box"

  20. Re:Half rave, half lan party on Ultimate Guide to Hosting a LAN Party · · Score: 2

    Oh no, no drug usage at all. The most chemical abuse was a few beers. Trust me, the E-tards would have been taken care of rather violently, but that didn't even come close to happening.

  21. Half rave, half lan party on Ultimate Guide to Hosting a LAN Party · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The last LAN party I went to was real fun. We had a projector which played a few good/bad movies(it doesn't make Joes Apartment any better), but momre importantly, we had tables.

    Nothing is more fun than having a DJ spin while you're playing Counterstrike, and having a large projection(life-size) screen of someone playing Cstrike on that.

    Then when we were all gamed out, we watched Quake 1 and 2 done quickly, some strange music videos(one from Atari Teenage Riot involving erasing faces) and had a blast.

    It's all the music of a rave, without the fucking e-tards, cudddle puddles, or police involvement.

  22. bah on Acer Laptop W/Fingerprint Recognition System · · Score: 2

    Forget the finger print, how about that resolution!?

    1400 by 1050 pixels? That's better than my desktop's!

  23. Re:How to prevent this from EVER happening again . on More News And Links On Yesterday's Terrorist Attack · · Score: 3, Funny

    Why not a "panic" mode that puts everyone in the plane but the cockpit to sleep? Couldn't that simply be done with an air pressure change?

  24. interesting on U.S. Attack -- More Updates · · Score: 2

    In times of Emergency, churches and such are turned into makeshift hospitals,etc.

    Now on the internet I am seeing various un-slammed websites(fark,etc) are now turning into realtime newsites, etc as fast as they get the info on what's going on today.

    Intresting. Especially when ESPN is now reporting on the attacks.

  25. several hundred people on Linux 10th Anniversary Celebration Report · · Score: 2

    Several hundred people, you say? Why are there several photos of just a few people at a time in a huge empty field?

    And with the left over food that can fill up a truck bed, they must not have been very hungry.
