  1. Re:Little did you know on Virus Trackers Find Malware With Google · · Score: 1

    I figured it'd be because this same info was posted 2 years ago, so this recent revelation was tagged as "dupe" and no one read it.

  2. Re:Oh no, not again on Shuttle Cameras Yield Excellent Footage · · Score: 1

    Best post in this story. And I just lost my mod points.

  3. Re:why no phishing stings? on Voice Phishing Hits PayPal · · Score: 1

    And it's very likely they smiled through the phone, nodded, agreed with you, and then filed your report in the circular bin.

  4. Re:TANSTAFS. on AOL To Be Free For Broadband Users? · · Score: 1
    From AOL's perspective, giving the shit away is probably a good business decision

    Good business decision my ass.
    The AOL divison of AOL-TW is already sucking money from the rest of the company like a leech on steroids. now they want to give it away for free??? Can they just slit our throats? wouldn't that be faster?
    (note: i am an employee of time-warner cable. not aol. I and everyone I work with pray for the day corporate finally decides to split aol off so it can fucking die.)

    I meant of the prosthetic tech, you sicko.

  6. Re:Ken Lay -- serial killer? on Enron's Kenneth Lay Dies · · Score: 1

    you might be surprised.
    I'd vote for him... As would nearly all of my friends.

  7. gruesome? on Copying Antler-Structure Means Better Prosthetics · · Score: 2, Insightful

    that picture is gruseome?
    Wow, the submitter must have the constitution of a nervous gerbil.

    I think that picture is pretty frickin cool, and want to see more. Anyone have more links to examples of this?

  8. Re:Ouch? on Ants Use Pedometers to Find Home · · Score: 1

    have you looked at an ant lately?
    When you legs are only 5 mm long to start with, 1mm is a SIGNIFICANT change- 20% shorter.

    Take a hacksaw and cut your legs a few inches below the middle of your shin, see how well you do.

  9. lousy t-shirt on Slashback: Disney Copyright, Alaa Freed, Kelo Repealed · · Score: 4, Funny

    I got convicted for file-sharing and all i got was this lousy T-shirt!!!

  10. Re:Put it in AI research on Billions Donated to Charity · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    And I don't mean change a lot, I mean REALLY change everything. For example poverty would be completely eliminated. DEATH would be eliminated.


    Outside of popular science fiction authors and movies... How the heck to you figure this?? Your post is speculation of the purest form.
    Revolutionary, sure, but eliminating death?? WTF?
  11. Re:Unknown calls are bullshit on Has My Cell Number Been Cloned? · · Score: 1

    Anonymous Call Rejection is actually *77 (*87 to turn it off).
    *82 is to unblock your callerid before a call if you have your own ID as private.

  12. Contact the library and tell her she did good!! on Library Chief Criticized for Requiring Subpoena · · Score: 2, Informative

    How about we contact the library and let them know we appreciate that she did her job?
    http://www.bccls.org/hasbrouck/librarystaff.htm

    Ms. Reutty's email is also on the contact page.
    I think writing would be better... I don't think they'd like their email or answering machine slashdotted.

    The site also has the names of the Board of Trustees, who seem intent on persecuting Ms. Reutty instead of supporting her.

    Put your money where your mouths are. Do something!

  13. Re:Futurama on Futurama Returns · · Score: 4, Informative

    Actually... I find the container labelled "Condensed Milt" much more interesting, and very disturbing.
    Milt, for the non-biologists, is the sperm and seminal fluid of fish.

  14. Re:Obvious in retrospect on Improving Noise Analysis with the Sound of Silence · · Score: 1

    That does not apply. They didn't know the question.
    In my statement, the article, and the parent post to mine; the question is already known. When you find the answer, the already known question doesn't seem so hard.

  15. Re:Obvious in retrospect on Improving Noise Analysis with the Sound of Silence · · Score: 1
    isn't that obvious in retrospect?


    EVERYTHING is "obvious" in retrospect. The question always seems so simple once you know the answer.
  16. Re:Quick Question on Microsoft Stops Supporting Win98 Early · · Score: 1

    I work phone support for local broadband provider...
    I'd say on an average day the people who call me for internet help and are using win98 is about 20% or less.
    I get 1 every couple days that's using winME, and maybe a few more running win2K. All the rest are using winXP.

  17. Re:How Peculiar on U.S. House Rejects Net Neutrality · · Score: 1
    but the hundreds, if not thousands of porn sites out there.

    Are you new here? Try multiplying your numbers by a several thousand. There are millions and millions and millions of porn sites on the internet. And being that pr0n sites are the first to use advances in video and audio streaming, they are a driving force behind many of our now "basic" web technologies. Webcams?! Pshaw! I was watching 30+ fps high-resolution LIVE streaming video of naked chicks back in early 1998.
  18. Re:About the girl on How Not to Steal a Sidekick · · Score: 1

    then keep driving right on to prison...
    She's reported to be 16, which is statutory in NY. Hence the further comments on the page about the big guy and paternity tests

  19. Re:Quality counts for something on Valve Talks Episode One · · Score: 1

    Replay due to the commentary mode adds another 3-5 hrs per title. + unknown amount of hours from additional multiplayer. (which admittedly I don't play.)

  20. Re:Quality counts for something on Valve Talks Episode One · · Score: 1

    Hmmm my calculator tells me I'll be paying $53.85 for all 3 episodes. (17.95 pre-order price x 3)
    Which is less than the cost of a new game at best buy. (49.99 plus tax = 54.50)
    And if i'm getting 15-30 hours of game play, I'm not feeling ripped off in the least.

  21. Re:Whoring myself out with more episodic content on Review of Episodic Content, Half-Life 2 Episode One · · Score: 1

    By all means, pimp yourself!!
    I'm not even done with it yet, and I love it...
    Best SP mod for HL2.

  22. Re:not doing that on Review of Episodic Content, Half-Life 2 Episode One · · Score: 1

    Wow.. then you brits are getting royally shafted... They don't figure an exchagne rate for game prices??
    According to Google 10 seconds ago; 20 U.S. dollars = 10.6871861 British pounds
    I'd be asking why you're paying twice as much as us...
