  1. Re:MCSE's are a different matter on Take a Mac User to Lunch · · Score: 1

    Hey are you Aaron Adams, the guy from Apple's Switch commercials?

  2. dit-dit-dit-dot-dot-dot-dit-dit-dit dept? on Panicking In Morse Code · · Score: 1

    Well, when heard audibly, it should be more like:
    di-di-dit-dah-dah-dah-di-di-dit

  3. Evolution == Desktop?? on Is Linux Dead? · · Score: 1
    A Linux-based open-source program called Evolution looks pretty much like a standard Windows desktop.

    Huh?? I believe if this author got his facts straight, Evolution is an email client.

    This author doesn't know half of what Linux is, so how can he be informed on it in the desktop environment. He obviously hasn't checked out the German government or schools all over.

  4. Best Value? on CDs Want To Be Free · · Score: 2, Interesting
    "If you compare the CD to other entertainment, it's one of the best values out there."

    Hmm lets say we use an entertainment piece 100 times...
    DVDs $ 20/100 = $ .20
    CDs $ 15/100 = $ .15
    Computer $1500/100 = $15.00
    MP3s $ /100 = $ .00 (AKA KaZaA)
    Slashdot $.50/100 = $ .005 (half a cent)
    Hmmm so looks like Slashdot's $5/1000 deal isn't too bad for non-banner ad pages!
  5. In other related news... on Blizzard removes Orcs from Warcraft III · · Score: 1

    ...due to a unix-related time bug, it's really March 31, meaning we'll get all the joke posts again tomorrow.

    Sounds like groundhog day!

  6. 1.5 KW on Amateur Radio Packet Over 802.11 Cards · · Score: 2, Funny

    Could you imagine a 1.5 KW 11 Mbps setup? Talk about the worldwide interference.

  7. 1200 bps - 11 Mbps on Amateur Radio Packet Over 802.11 Cards · · Score: 1

    Wow. I can't believe my 1200 bps KPC-3 TNC will be so obsolete in this order of magnitude.

  8. Move to Russia? on NOA to Sue for Flash Advance Linkers · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Maybe you could move to Russia?

    Oh wait... nevermind

  9. ./ed on Mandrake Releases 8.2 Beta · · Score: 1

    dang... slashdotted

  10. Re:New Merger, USPS bought out by MS on Microsoft Promotions Turn Up in USPS Offices · · Score: 1

    I've never heard of the 'United Postal Service' before. Maybe 'United States Postal Service'? Or maybe 'United Parcel Service'?

  11. Does this sound too LAME? on Universal Music Prepares for Copy-Protection Complaints · · Score: 1

    The Content has been encoded using software that incorporates the LAME encoder; more information about the encoder is available at http://www.mp3dev.org. Hmm... I wonder if the technology used to encode follows the LPGL and has been put back into the LAME project? 3. If you make modifications to LAME, you *must* release these these modifications back to the LAME project, under the LGPL. (http://www.mp3dev.org/mp3/license.txt)
