  1. Re:Hey, wait a minute... on MailBlocks sues Earthlink over Anti-Spam Tech · · Score: 1

    TMS which became TMDA.

  2. Re:Names. on Mozilla's Joy Of Naming · · Score: 1

    I stopped by campus about a month ago.

    What's with the non-brick buildings?

    IT 2000

  3. Re:Of course that's not the problem... on Using GPS to Hail Cabs · · Score: 1

    What part of town are you going to? I've never had any problems in the DC area. Of course, most of my rides have originated from Dulles or National.

  4. Re:whens the NA one coming? on Worlds Largest Computer Party, In Progress · · Score: 1

    Blech. Its in Louisville. I just spent a good part of the past 5 months in a hotel accross the street from that expo center. If you get bored there go next door to Kentucky Kingdom (Six Flags theme park).

  5. Re:Take it to a Pentecostal meeting. on Speaking in Tongues · · Score: 1

    FYI: I think "Holyspiritish" is hebrew. Could be wrong though.

  6. Re:Canada Post on How The Postman Almost Owned E-Mail · · Score: 1

    I always thought the USPS running email off of the under-used locality name space (ex... myname@mytown.va.us) would be a interesting service.

  7. Re:why would they move? on Sili-Hudson Valley? · · Score: 1

    I would assume you're speaking of Virginia.
    Well, the difference in sales tax is in NY you are actually paying 2 different taxes: 3 or 4% to the state, and the rest is county sales tax. That's why it varies from county to county.

    VA counties/cities make up for that in Personal Property tax based on value of your car(s) and other large assests. But that's being phase out in a year or 2.

    But yes...A while ago I came across a chart comparing the percentage of income payed out to taxes by state. NY was on the higher end. I want to say top 10.

  8. New outlet, but the sources are already there. on Can Newspapers Save Local Music? · · Score: 1

    I'm a DC metro resident, and this is the first time I've heard of this. This is a great idea in theory, but the audience for this already has its ways of finding the local bands.

    I'm not going to drop URLs here just because I'm not out to /. every website in the DC music scene.

    If you're interested in the local scene, just check out the listings in the free "alt" paper. That will get you names of a few venues and bands. Go there for a night and see if you like the place . Find its website and periodically check its show schedule. From they, try to find the sites of the bands that play there. The chances are good the band has a few mp3s available to DL. If you like them, go see them. Talk to people there, get recommendations for other bands to catch. And check out the merch table.

    One of the best venue in DC is Fort Reno. Its a free outdoor concert series. Its purpose is to showcase local punk/indie/whatever bands.

    Oh. I noticed Barcelona has a few mp3s on the Post. They would definitely appeal to the slashdot audience. "Shell Account" is a good song. :)

  9. Re:Washingtonpost.com legal agreement on Can Newspapers Save Local Music? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but most of the bands that are willing to post mp3s on newspapers, probably have more available to DL at their own website. No legalese.

    A lot of local bands/ minor labels embrace mp3s as a method to get a following.

  10. Re:Rochester? Try WBER on Can Newspapers Save Local Music? · · Score: 1

    I think that's the station he was refering to.

    I haven't lived in Rochester in for over 2 years, but WBER playlist seemed not all that different from the commercial "alt-rock" station in town. It did announce concerts, but never played any of that music except during an indie rock showcase specialty hour.

    Damn I miss the Bug Jar.

  11. Re:Hi on NYTimes Looks at Warez · · Score: 1

    LOL... I came across this account of dialogue from a #linuxwarez irc channel a while ago.

    The original is gone, but its in Google Cache.

  12. Re:I'll buy one on I Believe You Have My Stapler · · Score: 1

    Is he related to Pete Lutz in the IT dept? It looks like it. :)

  13. Waste shipping routes on Yucca Mountain Approved for US Nuclear Waste Storage · · Score: 3, Insightful

    mapscience.org Type in your addy and find out how close the waste pass you by.

  14. Re:Greedy Ticket Pricing on Review: Star Wars Episode II, Attack of the Clones · · Score: 1

    That would probably be a decision made by your theater.

  15. Origins of the "coliseum" monsters??? on Review: Star Wars Episode II, Attack of the Clones · · Score: 1

    Maybe someone can confirm this:

    I'm fairly certain I've seen concept art of the rhino thing, the hairy-lizard rat cat thing, and the beasts pulling the chariots. (I don't remember the crab thing)

    I'm thinking it was from some old making of stars wars (orginal trilogy) type book, and they were in there as creature ideas that didn't make the cut.

    Anyone else?

  16. Re:Two separate quakes? on 5.2 Earthquake Shakes Up SF Bay Area · · Score: 1

    I'd rather have earthquakes, though, than tornados, blizzards, or hurricanes.
    You're forgetting fires, mudslides, power outages...

  17. Re:What if it was Ice Hockey? on 5.2 Earthquake Shakes Up SF Bay Area · · Score: 1

    The announcers initially thought the tremor was caused by the crowd cheering. Seriously is this newsworthy... Plattsburgh, NY had a 5.0 less then a month ago http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/bulletin/02_EVENTS/EQ_02 0420/

  18. Re:Dude! on Laptop Anti-Theft Devices · · Score: 1

    Do you unlock the invincibility cheat if you get it right?

  19. Re:Not totally convinced on Review of Sorcerer GNU Linux · · Score: 1

    "You can run this "sorcery update" command in a cron job at night and have a brand spanking new system the next morning." They should rank and post total compiles(read work units). My machine is usually just looking for little green men at night. That's been fruitless thus far...

  20. Re:well, this is what you do with 40 MILLION dolla on Canadian Researchers Create Supernova In-lab · · Score: 1

    other way around... it would be $20-25mil US.

  21. Re:Movies about robots are always good. on Terminator 3: Attack of the Terminatrix · · Score: 1

    I thought they just blew stuff up. The robots are merely vehicles.

  22. the possibilities... on The Successor To Popunder Ads? · · Score: 1

    very entertaining defacements?
