  1. Re:PCMCIA on Next-gen PCMCIA: Expresscard · · Score: 1

    I found I could really impress people by using a lot of acronyms and tech words. Such as, My 802.11b PCMCIA Network Interface Card has experienced an IRQ conflict in interupt 5.

    I tried bringing my desktop computer into the bathtub until I dropped the monitor while taking a bath.

  6. Re:Grr on Flaming Cellphones · · Score: 1

    There is always that chance that you get someone who dials the wrong number.

  7. Obligitory Simpsons Quote on Computer Expectations of Today, and a Decade Hence? · · Score: 1

    Frink: Well, sure, the Frinkiac-7 looks impressive, don't touch it! But I predict that within 100 years computers will be twice as powerful, 10,000 times larger, and so expensive that only the five richest kings of Europe will own them.

  8. Re:3d? Try 0d on Using Cellophane For 3D Displays On Your Laptop · · Score: 1

    It could be 4d if you go back in the past to view the web page before it goes up on slashdot.

  9. Re:These numbers lie and are on Microsoft Code at Fault for Half of all Windows Crashes · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe I should get a second opinion. He told me I was going to die.

  10. Re:Peanuts on Microsoft Nailed by Software Patent · · Score: 1

    You might care if you worked at Microsoft and had to be laid off because of this lawsuit. You can argue that this sort of thing only takes funds away from the executives. Unfortunetly it is the people with the low paying jobs that will be suffering the effects of this the most.

  11. Time Zones on Flavor vs. Flavour · · Score: 1

    When you set your region for time zones it should detect changes in word variations.

  12. Color vs. Colour on Flavor vs. Flavour · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So is there going to be a debate on using color over colour?

    Its not a real interview its a hoax.

  15. Re:BTO!! on Build-to-Order Cars? · · Score: 0

    back then we had to talk like that we didn't have a moment to spare

  16. Price on Build-to-Order Cars? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    In order for this company to compete they will have to start offering some low prices on cars. Somehow I don't see these guys competing with the big auto companies.

  17. Re:In case of Slashdotting on The Biggest and Baddest Backyard Roller Coaster · · Score: 0

    According to what I heard Roller Coaster Tycoon is like having a real live theme park in your back yard.

    So what your saying is that Mexico could become a world power selling electricity to the US.

  21. Fans on High End Silent Cooling For Graphics Cards · · Score: 0

    Shouldn't the price come down if they remove the fan instead of sacrificing performance and reliability whilst keeping the price the same and calling it a feature.

  22. Sex on Will Humanoid Robots Take All the Jobs by 2050? · · Score: 0

    Bring on the robot prostitutes.

  23. Money on MPAA to Launch Anti-Piracy Commercials · · Score: -1, Redundant

    What do you think will the MPAA lose more money paying for these anti-piracy commercials then if they just let things be?

  24. It costs more when it is free on Embarrassing Governments Into Adopting Open Source · · Score: 0

    Does anybody remember the article on Slashdot a while ago? It said that it costs more money to use an open source OS in business and schools because of teaching and support costs are much higher. I'm all for open source but I think this might play a big factor in deciding which is more cost efficient. If the cost turns out to be the same in the long run then companies will want to stick with what they are familiar with and people will continue to use Windows.

  25. Migration to Kazaa on All The Rave · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I like how things have turned out. Kazaa is just as good as Napster was at getting music but you can do so much more. When you throw in video to the mix I would prefer Kazaa over Napster anyday.
