  1. Target Marketing on Interesting Concepts in Search Engines · · Score: 0, Troll

    Many sites also have advertisements that are related to the web site content usually in the form of pop-up ads or banners. Some are now trying to implement an insane subscription fee to avoid the advertisements

    Better Beer
    I only live a few miles from Canada, but California has the better beer. Sierra Nevada and Anchor Brewing make some of the best beers in the world.

  5. AMD's Response on IBM Creates World's Fastest Semiconductor Circuits · · Score: 1, Troll

    Gigahertz don't matter!

  6. The Down Side on Animate Quake2 Characters On Your Desktop · · Score: 2

    I remember playing Quake2 online against a friend of mine and he was using a skin called "Crack Whore" not something I want to see dancing on my screen.

  7. Then why make a DVD?? on Concerning The Cancellation of Futurama · · Score: 2

    If it's so unpopular then why are they making a DVD box set for season 1, which appears to be already available in Europe And also info from the FOX Germany site I guess I need to get a Region 2 DVD player

  8. Make it a non issue on An Open Source Direct3D 8.0 Wrapper for Open GL · · Score: 4, Insightful

    STOP buying D3D games
    KEEP buying OpenGL games

  9. Multiple Platforms on Record Video Games Sales in 2001 · · Score: 2

    I have noticed an increasing trend towards people having and using multiple platfors for gaming. In the past it seemed that most people had either a nintendo or a sega for example. Now it's common to use several. Am I the only freak running at least 5? (Atari 2600,N64,PS2,GBA,PC).

  10. Road Warrior on Intel Developing Cellular Internet Chip · · Score: 2

    I can't wait to see the look on the other drivers faces as I try and drive while talking on my LapTop.

    Announced at Linux World HP has inked a deal with Dreamworks to replace their remaining SGI Irix machines with Linux.

    Dreamworks has also announced Shrek 2, maybe there will be a penguin in it

  13. Online bargain sites on Where Did All The Online Bargains Go? · · Score: 2
  14. Think before you post on Should Aunt Tillie Build Her Own Kernels? · · Score: 2

    I only posted a brief description of the article. I included a link to the article. If I had posted the entire article that would defeat the purpose of posting a link and providing the due respect the original website deserves

    However had you clicked on the link and read the whole story you would also read about "Nephew Melvin" who uses the autoconf tool to quickly and easily modify a setup he had previously created. Or "Geek Girl Penelope" who needs a custom kernel to support a driver but has no time to become a kernel hacker.

    The main point is not wether there should be an autoconf tool. There will be...regardless of what anybody thinks. The point is should it be included into the mainstream, available in the standard kernel and in the popular distributions.

  15. RTCW 1.1 Patch for windows Released on RTCW Single Player Demo & Linux Binaries · · Score: 5, Informative

    For those like me who have had problems with RTCW 1.0 you can get the Patch Here

  16. Mark Twain on Steve Jobs And The Oh-So-Cool iMac · · Score: 2

    Mark Twain once said

    "Good books are like wine, my books are like water. Everybody drinks water"

    Apple computers are like wine and Windows is like water.....

  17. Magazines on Yahoo News Posts Advertisements as News · · Score: 2

    Even though I did not see anything unusual at Yahoo. This sounds exactly like the ads in every computer magazine I subscribe to. There are multi page articles that look like news stories except in small print at the top of the page it says "Special advertising supplement" or other such crap.

  18. Science Fiction on Orbiting Lasers for Hydrogen Power · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    To quote the article "Hydrogen can be produced on Earth by water electrolysis. This process may be very efficient (in excess of 80%) I think it would be safer and more realistic to produce hydrogen on earth with a large array of solar cells. Many of the countries in the Middle East that currently rely on oil also have plenty of sunlight and border the ocean. Now would be the time to convert to a hydrogen economy before the oil runs out.

  19. Re:leading zeros on AMD Duron vs. Intel Celeron · · Score: 1

    That's Ok my Slashdot profile now says "Deadbugs has submitted 1 stories"

    Although I believe the spellchecker allies defeated the grammar nazis several years ago

  20. Re:Just so you know... on AMD Duron vs. Intel Celeron · · Score: 2

    Yeah I read the article on Tom's like 5 minutes after I posted this article. Tech-Report gave more detail and I liked the pure 1200 vs. 1200. But the main topic was to point out that there are other new processors out there that don't cost Between $350 & $600

  21. Cowboy Neal caught rigging Slahdot Poll! on Microsoft Caught Rigging ZD Net Poll · · Score: 4, Funny

  25. FireWire vs. USB (no 2.0?) on New iMac Announced · · Score: 1

    I noticed that the new IMac is using USB 1.1 instead of the much improved 2.0 . With such a shiny new machine I would have expected to see 2.0, but then I am not much of an iMac user. I'm sure Apple is more in favor of FireWire, but I still wonder why no 2.0. Unless OSX does not support it
