  1. Re:/. ahoy! on Legalizing Attacks on P2P Networks · · Score: 2, Informative
    I wonder if Rep. Berman has a website? If yes, you know what to do.
    Rep. Howard L. Berman
    Have fun!! ;)
  2. Nevada Nuke Plates on Slashback: Riftiness, Ixianism, Eclipse · · Score: 1
    In 10,000 years, these plates will be mandatory
    Sadly if Yucca Mountain goes through and then fails sometime down the road, these plates might actually have some meaning besides all the nuclear testing that went on in the desert of Nevada. But then again the chance of something bad happening to Yucca Mountain are small. Right? I mean thats what the government has told me.
  3. Re:Listen to local channels for news! on Satellite Radio - XM vs. Sirius? · · Score: 1
    There are plenty of decent land based stations, and most radios these days at least have a seek function
    A seek button might do you good when you actually have stations to listen to, but up here in North Dakota when you are driving on some highway in the middle of nowhere, a good station is hard to come by.
  4. Re:It must inhale the battery on Terapin Mine Review · · Score: 1
    ?!?! current battery technology can power my car to work everyday, i think it can handle a PDA.
    Your car has an alternator. A PDA doesn't have one. The alternator keeps the car battery charged, while the PDA batteries just continue to drain with nothing to charge them.
  5. Re:Looks like we're doing the MPAA's job. on Live from Iran, Film88 · · Score: 1

    I bet the MPAA submitted this site to Slashdot because they are too cheap to sue Film88 and shut them down themselves, so they just have us do it for free.

  6. Re:Safety? on Rocket Guy Getting Closer - But No Firm Launch Date · · Score: 1
    Brian's site (http://www.rocketguy.com/rocket.html) has many excellent pictures of the rocket and launch site (his backyard!) under construction

    So I guess that means that he is planning to launch the rocket from his backyard, which if launched from US soil would probably be somewhat illegal.
  7. Re:Tonguing Senators? on Questions for Town Meeting with Congressman? · · Score: 1

    They have interns to tongue them.

  8. Re:Well done... on California Hax0red · · Score: 1

    Should we call them Oreos instead?

  9. Bigger is better! on Sony PCG-U1 · · Score: 1

    In a world where it seems that everything needs to be bigger to better, this laptop seems to fit nowhere. No doubt it may be cool, but in a world where SUVs are king and big modded out computer cases are the shiznit, computers that are continually shrinking don't really follow the trend. And these new small laptops are so freakin' expensive, too.

  10. Re:New hardware on P2P Programs on K-12 Networks? · · Score: 1

    Hypocritical? Maybe. Its impossible to get around this traffic filter because its not even on location. Its located 500 miles away at the district hub. Yes there is new P2P software coming out everyday, but we find out about them just as fast as the students do. Oh and we also block websites out that we deem inapropriate or that we think use to much bandwidth.

  11. Re:Finally on MS Judge to Allow Demonstration of Modular Windows · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah they could always take out the blue screen of death and the errors. Windows would run 100% better then.

  12. Re:New hardware on P2P Programs on K-12 Networks? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    At the school district where I work we block all P2P software from 6am to 4pm everyday. This way teachers or other network users can still use P2P software but without slowing down the entire network.

  13. Kids and these Screens on Paintable LCDs · · Score: 1

    I don't imagine it would be a good idea to have one of these paint on screens in a home where small children are present. Kids tend to make a mess out of traditional monitors, but ones that cover an entire wall? Thats an accident waiting to happen.

  14. Re:Someone should tell Matt... on Matt Groening on Futurama, Simpsons and Fox · · Score: 1

    If I am not mistaken, an online petition saved Family Guy the first time FOX threatened to can it. The response was so enormous to that petition, how could they not notice it?

  15. Re:on a related but not offtopic note on Cable Without Cables · · Score: 1

    I only pay $35 a month for my 1 Megabit Up/640Kbps down ADSL. Cable Modem through the local cable company is the same price, but DSL holds a larger market share where I am from, Minot, ND.

  16. Re:MS ... patent infringment on How Microsoft Tried To Buy Nintendo · · Score: 1

    I believe we all know the story about how kids would go to local arcades and scratch part of the marquee off so that the P in puck would become the F in, well you know the word..;)

  17. Figures on The Lure of Heroinware · · Score: 1, Insightful

    So thats why my friend hasn't stopped playing Everquest for the past 6 months? Damn you, Sony! Damn you to hell!

  18. Re:Not Quite on Is Realism Destroying Video Games? · · Score: 1

    Look, I'm a fan of Sega but they did not get bullied out of the game hardware market. They screwed themselves. First of with releasing game systems too early, i.e. Sega CD, Saturn and Dreamcast. Also Sega's marketing effort was crap. They spent very little money to market their very good systems. But the lack of 3rd party development for Sega game systems certainly didn't help either. just my two cents

  19. flashing lights on What Makes a Good Web Design? · · Score: 1

    I have always loved websites where the background changes every half second to a different bright color. Great for causing seizures!
