    Don't glance around. Strut.

    And have "Staying Alive" playing in the background.

  2. Competing with VIA? on AMD Stirs Athlon Into Geode Embedded Soup · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I wonder if and how much these chips will cut into the VIA mini-itx market?

    I've got an Epia M10000 but the only way to upgrade will involve me buying a new Epia mobo/processor in a single package. I would love to have a Geode-based chip and mini-itx motherboard that could be upgraded separately.

  3. Re:Uh oh...strange precedents on L.L. Bean Suing Competitors For Spyware-Linked Ads · · Score: 3, Interesting
    The supermarket analogy would work better if -- as you were reaching for a Coke, a Pepsi hopped off the shelf and into your hand. (Hmmm...hopping soda cans...must remember to patent that.)

    And are you sure that they're competing products? I don't recall seeing a time where buying Coke gets you a Pepsi coupon. Maybe a Sprite coupon, which ultimately is Coca-Cola Corp. I vaguely remember hearing that most of the huge number of detegents are owned by about 5 companies.

    Well yeah, I guess that makes 2 ways to get it orally.

    I know this has been suggested before but why doesn't /. at least mirror the first page of the submitted links? I mean, how many people read the article in the first place, and then, of these, how many continue onto the subsequent pages?

    I'm sick of having to visit /. in order find a potential site to slashdot to hell.

    ...this could easily be an IBM thing or an Adobe thing, etc.

    I remember an early ad from the mid 90's. Basically it said "Buy Photoshop and get this free scanner." It was probably the 1st time I'd seen an ad like that so it stuck in my mind.

  9. Re:Just a Thought on GBA-Based Classic NES Series Confirmed For States · · Score: 1

    Mario Bros? Unless I'm mistaken, isn't that the game that come with every Super Mario game for GBA? I think I've got 2 copies of it already and don't need to buy another version that comes alone.

  10. Re:Is this really a "third pillar" anymore? on Nintendo DS to Feature Instant Messaging? · · Score: 1
    Well, Nintendo is screwed no matter what.

    All this rampant speculation is raising the bar higher and higher for Nintendo. It won't matter if it's the 3rd pillar or a GBA replacement, the DS will have to fight against the hype of all these false rumors.

    At first, how many people wanted wireless networking? Then a rumor came out that the DS would have it. It didn't matter if the rumor was true, but now Nintendo would HAVE to include it or people would feel disappointed. Months from now ,few people are going to remember that wireless was just a rumor. And that'll happen with all the other 'leaked' features. People are going to wonder why it didn't have wireless networking, IM, hand recognition, voice recognition, force feedback solar power, fuel cells, car diagnotic programs, etc.

    Oh damn, did I just didn't start 5 more rumors?

  11. Fast Reactions... on Do Videogame Skills Transfer To Real Life? · · Score: 5, Funny

    I've found that I've got faster reaction times than most of my friends. I spent a year working at a daycare, and I could consistently catch babies before they fell and hit their heads.

    But this discussion begs the question of whether game players develop fast reactions or whether people with fast reactions play games regularly.

    I'll be overclocking my analog clock. It'll be stable since the hands will do a full sweep in 1 minute without them disintegrating and flying apart.

  14. And the winner is..... on SCO Says They'll Sue A Linux User Tomorrow · · Score: 3, Funny
    I'd bet that quite a few people would love being the Linux user that gets sued. Think of it, you'd get metioned along Red Hat, IBM, and Novell.

    Better start thinking of personal insults to Darl and witty comments to tell the tech media.

    Besides, do you really want to break an NDA with a company with little in the bank and with a propensity to sue?

    I've always suspected that the whole presentation and NDA was to have more people for SCO to sue. "You broke the NDA, we're going to sue you!"

    Having said that, I have no money and am not worth suing.
