  1. 24 volt fans on Cancelling Out CPU Fan Noise · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you don't need a massive airflow try a 24 volt fan. They still provide air circulation and are very quiet running on 12 volts.

  2. Re:next generation fishing line on Yarn Spun from Nanotubes · · Score: 4, Funny

    Just think of the fishing line you could have. It could cut your boat in half.

  3. No on Is Windows Worth $45? · · Score: 1

    First off you don't get Windows for $45 or even $450. You just get a license to use it with all of Microsoft restrictions and invasions of privacy

  4. I thought they already had this on Microsoft Gadget Keeps Record of Your Life · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's called Passport

  5. Lin---s on Intel to Increase Linux Support, Release Centrino Drivers · · Score: 5, Funny

    Looks like the censors finally beeped out the profanity.

  6. Long live RAMBUS !! on Balance Technology Extended (BTX) Explained · · Score: 1

    This looks like another rambus to me.

  7. Take a picture of a picture on Digital Camera Image Verification · · Score: 1, Redundant


    1, Take picture
    2. Modify it
    3. Print it
    4. Take a picture of the print
    5. Print the picture of the picture

    Yes, you now have an unmodified picture (of a picture)

  8. Happy Meal on Xbox for $99? Xbox 2 in 2005? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm waiting for them to come free with a happy meal.

  9. XFree86 Has Not Merged With X.Org ?? on freedesktop.org xlibs 1.0 Released · · Score: 4, Informative


    XFree86 Has Not Merged With X.Org (see News)

    [23 January 2004] http://www.xfree86.org/

    So have they merged or not merged?

  10. Re:But the important question is... on Spotlight On Windows-Powered Gadgets And Gizmos · · Score: 0, Troll


    It's like a joke without the funny...

    So is the "anonymous reader" part.

  11. Maybe this is how the Martians see things on Colorization of Mars Images? · · Score: 1

    It is kind of arrogant to assume that every creature sees things with a human eye color balance.

  12. Re:My Knoppix Problems on Knoppix Tips and Tricks · · Score: 1

    I saw some mention of Knoppix running off of a udf file system using a CD-RW drive. I seems it would easy enough to slip in a small read/write home directory. You could save your configuration and still not have to touch the hard drive.

  13. I've done this before on Knoppix Tips and Tricks · · Score: 3, Interesting

    and accidently (on purpose) left the Knoppix CD in machine. I love to watch people (especially the sales people) walk by and say "Cool, what's this". CD blanks are cheap enough now to do this.

  14. College Flashbacks on Solaris 8 & 9 Free for x86 Once Again · · Score: 4, Funny

    My collage flashbacks are more along the line of punched cards.

  15. Plenum Grade Cable on The Problem Of Unused Cabling · · Score: 1

    You mean they were not using the fire resistant (and more expensive) "Plenum Grade" Cable.

  16. Coming soon! to Slashdot on Wireless-Friendly Microwaves · · Score: 1

    How to build a MASER with your microwave oven using ordinary magnets.

  17. Here is their source on So, HP, What Exactly Are You Trying To Sell Us? · · Score: 1
  18. Matrix spoof on Gates Comdex Keynote Shows Plans, Matrix Spoof · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Borland did this years ago


    Borland Matrix spoof

    So much for Microsoft inovation.

  19. Copyright law on Jail Time for Movie Swappers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Copyright law is a civil law not criminal law. As least it's supposed to be.

  20. The guy keeping their website up on The Ten Most Overpaid Jobs In The U.S. · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Might be over paid. :^)

  21. anti-sound on Turn Your Head Into Speakers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Wire this up to create a "noise canceling" device and you might have something.

  22. Re:Screw them. (mod parent up) on France: No Google Text Ads For Trademarked Words · · Score: 1

    Either way you want to say it, if I am providing a free service and people are throwing rocks at me then the polite thing to do would be to leave.

  23. Re:Screw them. (mod parent up) on France: No Google Text Ads For Trademarked Words · · Score: 1

    I think this is a fair idea. If France doesn't like Google's service then Google should just leave France.

  24. Visual Basic on InformationWeek On Windows-Linux Interoperability · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    IMO If Microsoft really wanted to be Linux Friendly

    they would port Visual Basic to Linux (not that I am a Visual Basic fan).

    Someone else will eventually do this.

    Let the flames begin.

  25. Re:SVG on MS Dissatisfaction High, Users Consider Switching · · Score: 1


    Looks like someone's already working on SVG

    GIMP goes SVG
