  1. Re:When can I get a DAVE? on Seagate and Maxtor Show Off New Stuff To Bloggers · · Score: 1

    I have been designing that concept for the past fricken month. That sucks. oh well. Atleast it proves the idea was worthwhile.

  2. Made in the USA on Lenovo Looking to Buy Seagate, May Raise Political Concerns · · Score: 1

    Are hard drives even made in the USA anymore? Hell I am sure most drives are made in china. my seagate says product of Singapore. any real difference? Its like the difference of item made in canada vs the US.

  3. I remember on Acer to Acquire Gateway for $710 million · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I remember when working at the Gateway store, we all got the calls they were shutting down the stores, on April first. It was one of those "great" april fools jokes, that was real. I also remember how much trouble I got for repairing a motherboard with bad capactors by just replacing them with new ones. apparently no one knew how to use a soldering iron.

  4. not that expensive on Google Rolls Out Online Storage Services · · Score: 1

    You guys keep thinking of yourselves, with external drives and portability. But what happens when you want to share work with someone overseas? Are you going to mail them that drive? Hell even across the state.

  5. Re:Bad news for slashdotters on Smarter Teens Have Less Sex · · Score: 1

    You know if you actually talk to a girl you might get laid? Its really not that hard. Sex feels good. Enjoy it.

  6. Re:ACLU Wrong Again on ACLU Protests Police Scanning License Plates · · Score: 1

    To be honest with ya'll. I think its about the same as the address of the tag. Like how come the ACLU isn't going after them for having the addresses available? I mean its relatively the same. An officer who is looking for someone can look up their DMV info and poof have an address to check.

  7. Re:Just a quick question? on School District To Parents — Buy Office 2007 · · Score: 1

    Have you ever looked into the discounts large schools get? They damn near get it for free. So They take it. MS gives schools a huge discount so they get the students "hooked" for life, or until they learn better.

  8. Re:Good for them on Microsoft Reinvents Bittorrent · · Score: 1

    How long till it gets "abused"? 2 weeks? I seriously bet someone will come up with a way to use it other than MS intended. Then the MAFIAA can go after a big corp with lots of money. I still love the fact that the RIAA has been known to use pirated versions of MS software.

  9. Clean Code on Any "Pretty" Code Out There? · · Score: 1

    What about Clean code? You know the types that doesn't have errors, or memory leaks? Heck why does a printer driver take 300mb? I remember when things used to be small. Lots of things now are huge, that do not necessarily have to be big.

  10. Re:Jargon Jingle. on Judge Says No to RIAA Subpoena Request · · Score: 1

  18. How? on Joystick Port Patented, Now the Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    How can you patent something that was around atleast 20 years before you applied for the patent? Yes a reform is needed.

  19. Re:Nothing Clandestine About It on Dell's Secret Linux Fling · · Score: 1

    Way tooo funny. Click the customize button. Says Red Flag Linux, with a picture of MS Windows.

  20. Things I don't understand on New Patent Suit Threatens Bluetooth Standard · · Score: 1

    Ok Blue tooth has been around since 1998-ish, Why wait till now to make a fuss? Any Idea's I work on, I research heavily to see if there are alternatives out there. Blue tooth has been in the news for a long time, seriously why wait till now? I wish there was a law that says if you hate a better part of a decade to sue for your patent, you should lose out. But then again, I want a law that says no vaguely worded patents, be precise, and not have it describe 15 million things.

  21. Re:Can anyone top this? on America's Worst Christmas Parties · · Score: 1

    I got fired from Big Blue for saying "Hello" to a VP. Literally we were both outside on a smoke break, I didn't know who he was, went up and introduced myself and a 5 min conversation on How are you, etc. And the Operations manager was pissed That I would dare say hello. I got fired. This happened 2 weeks ago. Its a broke, but good christmas, I think.

  22. I know its not much on Hans Reiser to Sell Company · · Score: 1

    but I would give 2k for it, but thats all i have. if i was rich, i would give more. lol

  23. I voted on Is An Uninformed Vote Better Than No Vote? · · Score: 1

    I thought I knew a lot of the stuff I was voting on today before I got there. But I soon realized I had no clue. I still voted. Since I am in GA. I voted most of the people in education out. (Georgia is one of the worst states when it comes to education). But I still voted. no idea if it will help. I found amusing its that a lot of people had no one running against them, and they were still on the balot. I was so tempted to write myself in as someone running.

  24. Re:That's great and all... on Google Launches Website Optimizer · · Score: 1

    Totally agree with you. I was reading it going, mmmkay, and its what? I think the Apple 1984 commercial was more descriptive.

  25. Re:here it is on Windows Vista RC2 Available · · Score: 1

    Holy schnikes, an app that works with firefox? I may love linux, but I want to see the improvements that MS made. I have only seen Screen shots of vista. so might as well play.
