  1. Well... on Modern Day Search Engine Manipulations · · Score: 1

    When I did a search on reliable web server through Google I found this link from Microsoft Dot-Com Companies Powered by Windows 2000 near the top. If Microsoft did manipulate Google to get higher placement they sure choose a poor page to boost.

  2. Re:MS Diploma 1.0 on Microsoft Invests in the University of Waterloo · · Score: 1

    Yes, but if you fail to keep your licenses current your degree will expire and you will be forced to start your education again from Kindergarten.

  3. Slashdotted on Touchscreen, Chair & Wheel Case Mod · · Score: 5, Funny

    I can't read korean, but pictures sure are worth a thousand words (give or take some).

    ...unless its already slashdotted, in which case it's worth zero words...

  4. Standard on One 3D Format to Rule Them All · · Score: 1

    Forget Intel, Macromedia, et. al. No 3D standard will be viable until it is ratified by the true Web technology leaders - the pr0n industry!

  5. Confused on Godzilla Getting Ready to Stomp Mozilla? · · Score: 1

    I don't see how anyone could be confused - Godzilla attacked Tokyo, while Mozilla is going after Redmond, WA.

  6. If only... on Longer Bar Codes Coming in 2005 · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...AOL had not insisted on a new barcode for every update of their free CDROM we'd have plenty of numbers left...

  7. The coming of serial ATA... on The Coming of Serial ATA · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...to be followed almost immediately by the posting of 50+ case mod articles on slashdot.

  8. Re:Upgrade on Laptop Video Upgrade · · Score: 1

    Dell part number for the 64MB 440Go is "5J149", price is $129 (I believe). Visit the Dell forums at support.dell.com, go to the Inspiron Video forum for feedback/help from others who have done the upgrade. You will also find links to websites with upgrade instructions/pictures in the forums. Good luck.

  9. Upgrade on Laptop Video Upgrade · · Score: 1

    I helped a colleague at work with the 440Go upgrade on an Inspiron 8000 - he went from effectively no 3D to impressive (for a laptop) 3D in about 30 minutes. Dell doesn't make these options very obvious (they can't be ordered through the website), but they don't actively try to prevent them either (the instructions are listed on the DellTalk forums hosted by Dell Support and they will happily sell you the upgrade over the phone).

  10. Re:Camera? on DraganFly III Gyro-stabilized RC Helicopter · · Score: 2, Funny

    X10 is probably already hard at work on the pop-up/pop-under ads for this...

  11. Re:Two Words on PowerPC Goes 64 bit · · Score: 0, Redundant

    More like Ouch! hot hot hot...

  12. But how on HP Marries Inkjet and Robotic Technology to Cool Chips · · Score: 1

    do they keep the robot from being confused by the "hot-spots" created by sysadmins in the data center viewing pr0n?

  13. Re:Mature on RIAA Smacked by DoS · · Score: 1

    and 3 rights make a left

  14. Social Robot? on Social Robot? · · Score: 1

    When I saw the article title all I could think of was Bill Gates sipping soda at a cocktail party...

  15. Just when I thought... on Pencigraphy: Image Composites from Video · · Score: 1

    ... I had downloaded all the pr0n I'd ever need a new format comes along!

  16. But if they win... on ACLU Files New DMCA Challenge · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...couldn't the lawsuit be considered a circumvention device?

  17. Re:the COPE book on Nature's Building Blocks · · Score: 1

    Of course under the USA Patriot Act passed after September 11 the Justice Department will probably want to stop by to see what else you're reading...

  18. Slashdot on Mining Unstructured Data · · Score: 4, Funny

    Interesting, my mining of hot ideas on Slashdot has determind that a Beowolf Cluster of First Posts is the next big thing...

  19. Re:organ donation? Nah.... on Class Action Lawsuit Against Spammer · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I seem to recall a Simpson's episode where lunch-lady Doris was scooping from a barrel labeled "Snouts and Testicles." Seems somehow appropriate...

  20. Sounds familiar on ICANN Board Spurns Democratic Elections · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    and that seats on the board should be chosen by the board itself, from among nominations submitted by governments and a new Nominating Committee (NomCom)

    Isn't this just like the inbreeding that allowed Enron to get away with murder? Maybe ICANN should consider relocating to Houston - I understand there is office space available...

  21. Re:GNU/Friends on GNU-Friends Interviews · · Score: 1

    Only if you are willing to freely share any modifications you make to GNU/Friends.

  22. In related news on Hardware Review: Rio Receiver · · Score: 5, Funny

    Disney CEO Michael Eisner will appear before congress to argue that hpna/ethernet technology is only used for the illegal copy and distribution of copyrighted material and that the use of hpna/ethernet should be banned or heavily regulated. Eisner is also reportedly not happy with people humming the theme songs from Disney movies in public, but is not expected to propose any limitations on vocal cords at his appearance before congress.

  23. But maybe on Rep. Bill Jones Thinks Spam is "Innovative" · · Score: 1

    It may not be possible to prosecute under California's SPAM law, but given the large number of messages sent to people who are clearly not eligible to vote for Mr. Jones it would seem to me that he is engaged in a massive conspiracy to commit voter fraud...

  24. Talk about... on Star Wars: Galaxies Preview · · Score: 1

    Just imagine cozying up to a harem costume clad Princess Leia, only to later discover she's being played by a guy who looks like comic-book guy from the Simpsons! Talk about a Crying Game...

  25. Old news on FTC Goes After Spammers · · Score: 1

    Seems to me this is old news, I submitted the FTC spam crackdown announcement almost 2 weeks ago...
