  1. Of course, all spam comes from the US on Lessig On Bounties For Spamhunters · · Score: 1

    And I'm sure the ones from other countries will happily stamp [ADV:] on their subject lines...

  2. Re:Selling a bridge? on Speed Of Light Broken With Off Shelf Components · · Score: 2, Informative

    Common saying in US: You could con someone that gullible by selling them the Brooklyn Bridge. He's saying if you believe the story, you'd believe anything.

  3. Re:In the US? on Wireless Wales · · Score: 1

    Size matters. Everything there is closer together, so the cities aren't exactly to remote from the "country". If you live in west texas or montana, I doubt you'll see it anytime soon. Its just too much space to cover to justify the cost of deployment.

  4. Re:Press Release Slants on AMD Makes 10-Nanometer Transistor · · Score: 1

    Most of the masses wash, I think its just Slashdot masses that don't.

  5. Linux as the de facto movie making platform??? on Apple Announces the Fate of Shake · · Score: 1

    This tool was also used for Fight Club and will be (is currently) used in the Matrix II. Combine this with the render farms at Pixar and Disney, it seems like Linux is making HUGE inroads in the movie business!!!

  6. Re:Meet George Jetson! on Space Elevator May Become Reality · · Score: 1

    Actually, it burnt up, so no retrieval necessary

  7. Re:Umm.... on Tron Special Edition On Sale January 15th · · Score: 2, Funny

    Tron was one of the first movies to use computer graphics. /. is a computer community. See the connection? Ahhhhh, I see now, the computer connection. In that case, I suggest the following the /. with good taste: Wargames [First modem] Lawnmower Man 1&2 [The second one is even better!] Jurrasic Park [first mention of a UNIX BOX!] Hackers [First realistic portayal of everyday hackers] Independence Day [First virus upload to alien mothership] Swordfish [First demonstration of how the average programmer codes & a badguy's last name is Torvalds] Anything with "VR" in the title And many many more! Yay computers in movies!

  8. Umm.... on Tron Special Edition On Sale January 15th · · Score: 1

    Why would you buy a copy of Tron? If you havn't seen it, I suggest renting it first. If you have seen it, and you still want to buy it, I suggest staring at some red and blue lights for a couple hours instead. The plot's better anyways...

  9. Re:Practical application on Pedal Your Way Through Quake · · Score: 1

    I AGREE! 19:35...what's your 6k?

  10. First victims? on What's Now State of the Art in Encryption Technology? · · Score: 1

    "With Ashcroft's declaration of computers as tools of terrorism, and law-enforcement pushing for enhanced surveillance, it appears that one of the first victims of America's new war may be the privacy of her citizens." I think the victims are underneath the WTC. People need to gain a little perspective.
