  1. small company on Non-Traditional Career Routes? · · Score: 1
    Why don't you look into getting a job after you graduate in a small company? I graduated with a Computer Science degree and I get the chance to be involved in network administration, client installs, web site design, system administration and so on and so on. It's giving me the opportunity to learn more than I ever would in university plus I can find out what exactly my interests are.

    Just a thought.

  2. Gates arrived at the right time...... on Steve Jobs And The Oh-So-Cool iMac · · Score: 1
    and he delivered the right product. Gates focused on the majority of the population and delivered a product that satisfied their needs, the needs of the average business and business person. Gates also continued to build on this idea of accessibility and ease with reckless abandon. Do I hate Gates for being an incredibly successful business man? Of couse not but maybe I hate him a little because it's not Unix.

  3. Oh, oh!! on Microsoft Settlement For Private Suits Rejected · · Score: 0, Troll
    The settlement would have resolved more than 100 class- action antitrust cases pending against Microsoft.

    Bend over MS!!

    Who wants to bet that this will go on for ten years?

  4. there's news flash on Philips Says Compact Discs Can't be Copyprotected · · Score: 1
    "Philips Says Compact Discs Can't be Copyprotected"

    Duh! They could've just asked us Slashdotters and we would have reported the same thing.

    Enter Singleclick.......

  6. That really is news!! on Playstation 2 Outsells both Xbox and Gamecube · · Score: 1
    Here's another headline.....

    The VW Beetle outsells the Ford Escort!!

    Sheesh, you'd think the cheaper and more readily available PS2 wouldn't outsell a product that has just been released (and at Christmass time too).

  7. wow, that's impressive. on China Shuts Down 17,000 Internet Bars · · Score: 1
    Out of the 94,000 Internet bars in China, 17,488 have been shut down and another 28,000 were ordered to install monitoring software soon.

    They've got as many Internet bars as we have Starbucks!

  8. Re:Makes... on Light Emitting Pictures On Standard Inkjet Printer · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yeah, comics books. O.K. buddy, that's not what i was thinking.

  9. Re:What has the world come to? on Pedal Your Way Through Quake · · Score: 1
    Ha, ha, ha, ha! that was funnier than my joke!
    Oh, you're serious? Well I wasn't.

    Perhaps someone should connect an excersice bike to a joke machine so you'll lighten up.

  10. What has the world come to? on Pedal Your Way Through Quake · · Score: 1
    this latest toy that allows health savy gamers to peddle their way through flight simulators, racers and even first person shooters.

    Would somebody come out with a hack for this?? I don't ever want to be thin or in shape! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, FIND A HACK!!

  11. Re:Kill funny messages on Slash 2.2.0 Released · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    I agree, why would we want to include humour? I'd much rather read stories while frowning and pouting. Laughing and smiling is for suckers and 'oh yeah, HUMAN BEINGS!! Don't be such a dumb ass.

  12. I got it!! on What Do You Do When CS Isn't Fun Any More? · · Score: 1
    Write "dummy" books.

  14. All of this....... on Amazon: Linux Saved Us Millions · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    "We've recently...found that Linux--if you look at the overall cost of ownership including the hardware, software, staffing, and purchasing and retirement costs--ends up being significantly less expensive than Unix over a three-year period for things like Web serving," said IDC analyst Dan Kusnetzky.

    And it's made me more attractive to the ladies!

  15. They answered their own question...... on Australian Scramjet Launched · · Score: 4, Funny
    Scientists are not quite sure what happened after launch

    We've bought a lot of bits and pieces off the shelf from automotive shops

    I think they answered their own question.

  16. my office has a similar program.... on From Gang Bangers to Web Developers? · · Score: 1
    Actually it's quite the opposite. They turn hard working geeks into mindless underpaid drones. They seem to like it.

  17. Re:Guerrilla(sp?) marketing on Windows XP Has Arrived · · Score: 1
    Stern also said that he didn't care if Microsoft took over every computer in the world just as long as everything was the same. It makes me wonder if he knew what he was talking about. Let's remove everyone's choice and it'll be just fine? Give me a break.
