  1. Re:Interesting on IBM Reinvents Punch Cards · · Score: 1

    Putting brackets around the H in Hitachi is superfluous; the company is not in any way affiliated with [H]ard|OCP.

  2. Possible DMCA violations? on DRM Helmet · · Score: 1

    When you neglect to recharge the unit's battery, a backup system with independent power will make a wireless call to the authorities, informing them that you have potentially violated the DMCA by circumventing a "copyright protecting" device, and your current positioni via GPS. Future versions may induce a coma upon the device's losing power.

  3. "...you'd never have to leave," huh? on Jacuzzi with 42'' Plasma TV · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you, but I'd much rather not sit in and have to use a toilet bowl large enough to hold several people.

  4. Re:SDSU != South Dakota State University on SDSU Students Create Sporty Hybrid Vehicle · · Score: 1

    Aren't the Dakotas part of Canada?

  5. Re:Stargate SG-1 on Farscape & Stargate SG-1 New Seasons Tonight · · Score: 1

    alt.binaries.stargate-sg1 I don't have the link, but the DVDs have been released up through about a third of the way through season five. Or maybe I'm hallucinating this cylinder of CDrs filled with SG-1 DVD rips from the newsgroup.

  6. Re:no more fox on Farscape & Stargate SG-1 New Seasons Tonight · · Score: 1

    Before the move to SciFi, original episodes of SG1 aired on Showtime. FOX stations aired syndicated reruns of SG1 a season behind the Showtime schedule. They still might, I'm not sure if SciFi obtained the show's syndication rights or not.

  7. The Correct Times on Farscape & Stargate SG-1 New Seasons Tonight · · Score: 1

    Stargate SG-1 is premiering before Farscape. SG-1 will be shown at 8:00 and 10:00 CST, while Farscape will be shown at 9:00 and 11:00 CST. The original 1994 Stargate movie started at 5:30 PM CST.

  8. If I could change just one of those bits... on Is the Universe its own Largest Computer? · · Score: 1

    I would set the one that determines whether I can get laid or not from its current 0 to a 1. Please, universe? That's just ~1/10^120 of all the bits, you won't even notice the difference!

  9. Re:Misuse of the word "literally" on Napster files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy · · Score: 1

    Where do you keep them all? If the Slashdot polls have taught me anything, it's that most Slashdotters would store their 13,000 DVD collection in CowboyNeal's basement.

  10. Obligatory on Napster files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy · · Score: 1
    Don't tell me nobody didn't see this coming

    Somewhere, a 6th grade English teacher just cried out in pain, and doesn't know why.

  11. In other news... on X-45 Makes Debut Flight · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...Three different women named Sarah Connor have been found brutally murdered in their homes. Police have yet to name any suspects.

  12. Hope you have a lot of spare time... on MMORPGs Matrix and Star Wars · · Score: 1

    ...because the Matrix is far too complex to render visually. Rather, when playing the game, it will be displayed on your screen as lines of scrolling characters. So I hope you're prepared to learn to interpret Matrix code. On the upside, you won't need anything faster than an old Trident VGA card to play the game.

  13. Re:Morally repugnant humouse? on Using the USPTO Against Itself · · Score: 1

    They are humans that are not partially made of animal cells. But they don't make your heart leap in fear, do they? In fear? No. In anticipation of bacon? Yes.

  14. Tired of the TLD beauracracy? on TLD Registrar Wants To Charge $300 For .Pro Names · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Just install the wonderfull software from Gator, and tell ICANN to shove off! With Gator, you can register, or even just surf, websites with nearly any TLD you want!

  15. Re:An analogy question on "EverQuest II" to debut in 2003 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    F) JonKatz : CowboyNeal

  16. JPG? on JPG Compression - The Bandwidth Saver · · Score: 4, Funny

    Compression? I'd just been renaming my .bmp's to .jpg - you mean I actually have to "compress" them to a .jpg to gain any benefit? Wow, my readers will sure be pleased. Next, you'll be telling me that my Flash-only websites should use shapes & instances instead of manually manipulating every pixel.

  17. Re:Two things... on Pennsylvania Law Requires ISPs to Block Child Porn · · Score: 1

    I'd say that the word "terrorism" will lose all meaning about 5 months ago...

  18. Take it a step further! on The Incredible Invisible Case · · Score: 1

    Now, if only we could get entirely invisible computers, we would be able to sidestep the SSSCA nonsense about not being able to build our own computers. The FBI'd never find our invisible DIY boxen.

  19. Uh-oh on Sandia Builds Micromechanical 'Device Driver' · · Score: 1

    "Device drivers?" I hope their not for .VXD's or anything evil like that. With bicycles, those little MS drivers could escape my Windows partition three times as fast.
