  1. If you can recover it on 40 Years Ago, the US Lost a Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 0

    You don't need, it as your technology is better then ours in the first place and your have your own bombs.

  2. Call them on Where Have All the Pagers Gone? · · Score: 1

    I see pagers in bulk at work all the time coming and going, try calling a sales rep instead of looking on the web pages.

    Pagers will be a smaller profit item so they wont push them like the old days.

    And i agree, 90% of the people on call need nothing more then a simple ( and cheap ) pager.

  3. Re:Lame response on Former IBM Exec Ordered To Stop Working For Apple · · Score: 1

    And time and time again, when they are unreasonable they have been struck down by the court.

    While not knowing the full contact, i would venture its unreasonable and should also be struck down.

    Restricting what you do AFTER you leave a company, is just plain wrong.

  4. huh? on VMware Promises Multiple OSs On One Cellphone · · Score: 1

    Except for developers what practical value will this be?

  5. Some user backlash on StarOffice Dropped From Google Pack · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ya, for about 5 minutes. The attention span of a typical user today is a 30 minute sitcom.

    Give it a couple of weeks and people will forget it was even an option.

  6. Usenet? on How to Search Today's Usenet For Programming Information? · · Score: 1

    But wait, i'm a comcast user... what is this 'usenet' you speak of?

    All kidding aside, usenet isn't what it used to be, i don't know if it really is worth looking for something of value out there. Sad to say it, but its pretty much true.

  7. This cant be true!! on Daylight Savings Time Increases Energy Use In Indiana · · Score: 1

    Mitch said it would be different. He wouldn't lie to us would he?

  8. Re:Censorship? on China Hijacks Popular BitTorrent Sites · · Score: 1

    you didn't think we had free speech did you?

    Silly comrade.

  9. Not farfetched on Netbooks Take a Bite Out of Windows Profits · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They are salivating while trying to make it work. Their MOLP"s are almost that and part of their core revenue stream.

  10. Blame Game on Netbooks Take a Bite Out of Windows Profits · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Not our fault, bla bla bla its their fault bla bla bla.

    nice to see corporations have the same problem with personal responsibility the rest of the world has.

  11. Re:And the reward for most useless researcher goes on How To Cut In Line and Not Get Caught · · Score: 1

    ok ok, non-contextual spell check sucks :)

  12. Re:And the reward for most useless researcher goes on How To Cut In Line and Not Get Caught · · Score: 1

    Considering soon we will all be in line here in the US ( think bread lines ) it might be a rather important research project to prevent us common folk from causing 'issues'.

    Of course that is after we are disarmed. cant have those pesky pheasants that can defend themselves can we?

    ( ya, it was a political flame/slam.. so sue me )

  13. Re:What if a whole line tried cutting? on How To Cut In Line and Not Get Caught · · Score: 1

    Isn't that called WWIII?

  14. Re:Nah on Are Neo-Retro Game Releases a Fad? · · Score: 1

    Because a bunch of pretty ( and expensive ) graphics with pathetic game content does not qualify as a "good game", which is most of what has been coming out for YEARS.

  15. The internet is a fad on Are Neo-Retro Game Releases a Fad? · · Score: 1

    So are pockets, shoes... Florescent dyed hair..

  16. Re:Censorship on Craigslist Agrees With State AGs To Curb "Erotic Services" Ads · · Score: 3, Interesting

    *porn* is not protected by the first amendment. *adult films* are.

    Not that i agree, but thats how the supreme court ruled long ago. Its why they have to have a plot ( however thin ) and a dialog ( however small )

  17. Censorship on Craigslist Agrees With State AGs To Curb "Erotic Services" Ads · · Score: 1

    Last iheard sex between 2 consenting adults was legal in this country, and so was talking about it.

    This sounds like yet another nannystate issue where the government is sticking their nose where it does not belong.

  18. suddenoutbreakofcommonsense - Tag on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 1

    My foot it is.

  19. Re:Jews did 9/11. on AT&T Begins a Trial To Cap, Meter Internet Usage · · Score: 1

    Or slashdot has no posts at all, since it will cost too much money to read it.

  20. Re:Do They Still Advertise them as "Unlimited"? on AT&T Begins a Trial To Cap, Meter Internet Usage · · Score: 1

    "Unlimited reasonable use"

  21. Re:Disconnect on Air Force To Rewrite the Rules of the Internet · · Score: 1

    You hope anyway. But when people are involved, mistakes do happen.

  22. Re:Typo on Programming .NET 3.5 · · Score: 4, Funny

    Thats ok, lint will pick that up when you compile it.

  23. Who will monitor on D.I.Y. Home Security · · Score: 1

    Part of the value-add of the security companies is they will monitor and verify the issue before they call the police/fire/etc.

    In many areas, you will get fined for false-alarms. Or worse, they will just stop coming to your house.

  24. Are Brits more open-minded? on Asus To Phase Out Sub-10" Eee PCs · · Score: 0

    No, they just are less afraid of piracy and have less $ to spend.

  25. Re:How would they know? on French Senate Passes Anti-Piracy Internet Cut-Off Law · · Score: 1

    They don't really care if you have permission. What is in it for them to do their research?
