  1. Re:To help them out a little... on Asteroid Fly-By on August 18 · · Score: 1

    You sure it's not made out of AOL CD's? This may be what these guys have had planned all along.

  2. Re:Astronomers at play on Asteroid Fly-By on August 18 · · Score: 1, Funny

    Are you stupid? It looks like a joke to EVERYONE.

    Not including you.

  4. It boils my blood... on Narrative and Weblogs: the Blognovel · · Score: 1

    .. how people make these god awful abbreviations.
    I call upon the light side of the Slashdot community to join me in a good old fashioned mob lynching.

    Translation for the to-be victims:

    Tossers.

  5. Re:Fix the links, please on nVidia NV3x Sneak Peek · · Score: 3, Funny

    I see a subliminal message here, remove a few choice words and you get;

    "huh?? What, you feel like some nut once in a while? If it hurts then maybe your are a very bad person and will get to pound me in the ass."

    Sicko.

  7. Re:Completely lacking any positive points on Kartoo Search Engine Presents Results as a Map · · Score: 0

    It is a *META SEARCH ENGINE*, it queries google and that query takes the same amount of time to get results. The reason it takes so long is that it is metasearching a bunch of different searching engines, then creating these nice pretty maps out of all that data.

  8. He's being interviewed by Foghorn Leghorn? on The Universe in 4 Lines of Code? · · Score: 0

    Ah said, ah say, ah said how long do you envision this rule of the universe to be?

  10. Re:ooh.. searchable index... on Digitizing Your Dead Trees? · · Score: 0

    I don't know how many times I've misplaced something in my disgusting brothel of a bedroom and wished I could do a grep for it.

  12. Re:sounds good for cable modem users only on VoIP for the Masses! · · Score: 0

    Right.
    So you pay $x per month for the cellphone account, and they give you x amount of minutes a month to use? Same sorta shit here.

    The contracts over here work in minimum monthly scenarios. For example you join up with xyz provider on a $30 contract, and you get $30 worth of calls with that, but you pay the $30 a month regardless of whether you use the calls or not. (If you use more, you pay for it of course.)

    So, it sounds like the same sort of shit except you guys are marketing it a hell of a lot better over there. :-)

  13. Re:sounds good for cable modem users only on VoIP for the Masses! · · Score: 0

    I've seen a lot of these comments regarding the "free nationwide cell", that is free cell - cell right?

    Here in Ortstralya mobile phones are expensive luxury items, the only money saving times being off peak and the ability on some networks to call another phone on that network during off peak for free up to 20minutes. I seriously need to be enlightened on this one. Someone? Please?

  14. Swish. on Flash and Open Source · · Score: 0

    To quoth the site;

    SWiSH makes Flash easy ... and affordable! Do you want to get into Flash(TM) but can't afford the steep price and even steeper learning curve? then SWiSH is the tool for you!
    SWiSH creates all the cool flash effects you need for your web site in a fraction of the time it takes with other programs!
    SWiSH exports the same SWF format used by Macromedia Flash(TM) so more than 97% of web surfers can see your animation without downloading a plug-in!

    ... and so on. Check it out, I found it great, and with a $49.95 license fee, not too harsh on the pocket.

  15. How is this justifiable? on Can Internet Radio Survive? · · Score: 0

    The new fees would be in addition to the ASCAP and BMI fees. We did some rough calculations and found that it would cost us under the terms of that ruling about $1,000 a day.

    Why should be such a devastating difference in fees been an air broadcast station and an electronic broadcasting station? Sure, I can save the stream, mp3 them, but I can just as easily do the same with my FM capture card, or at least with a cassette tape.

  16. Re:Why? on Windows XP Has Arrived · · Score: 0

    "...and the ability to join domains removed."

    Ability to join domains removed? I've been using XP on my PDC for quite some time now.

  17. Slashdotted. on Magnetic Fluids · · Score: 0

    When is Slashdot gonna start caching interesting story links? Even just for a few hours...

  18. Stock Price on Lucent's New Chip Is Just One Molecule Thick · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Heh, they should put their development team to the task of figuring out how to generate a decent stock price.

  19. Drivers License on Ellison's ID Card Plan Gets More Attention · · Score: 0

    Incorporating these into current drivers licences (or passports) isn't such a bad idea. Have a chip on the card that stores fingerprints, retina scans, whatever they intend to use. This would be the least painful and most effective way of getting a great idea decent penetration into the populus.

  20. Re:Real cats are lovely on Robot Cat 'NeCoRo' · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Cats are lazy, apathetic creatures that are masters of manipulation. They will do absolutely nothing, and won't want to know you unless you have food for them, or something for them to attack. The only exceptions are the stupid cats.. the ones that want to show you love all the time, and chase inanimate objects. Now they are cool.
