  1. Re:Volton on Voltron Coming To The Big Screen · · Score: 1

    Okay, even better then. I love it when "editors" add and publish typos...

  2. Volton on Voltron Coming To The Big Screen · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I love it when the first word the submitter types is a typo...

  3. nrrrds on Nerdcore Rap In The Press · · Score: 1

    Reminds me a bit of the riot nrrrd movement from 10 or 15 years ago...

  4. AU or US $? on Annual Cost of Microsoft Monopoly: $10 Billion · · Score: 1

    Is this 10B AU or 10B US dollars? If it's AU, then it's about 7.5B US.

  5. Re:Who gives a FUCK on UEFI Formed to Replace BIOS · · Score: 1

    That's why I always make sure to buy a separate NIC for my Macintoshes...

  6. a whole $10M? on Sony Agrees to Stop Payola · · Score: 1

    Wow, a whole 10 million dollars, huh? I'm sure that'll teach them. Oh, and I'm sure this only applies to radio stations in NY, right? (off to RTFA now)

  7. Re:24mm square = 1" square. on World's Smallest MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    Wow, I'm sure the GP poster thanks you immensely for pointing out that huge oversight on his part...

  8. fingertips on World's Smallest MP3 Player · · Score: 4, Funny

    The player is 24x24x24 milimeters (about the size of the tip of your finger...

    Sounds like it should be really easy to push the buttons to control the thing...

  9. Re:It's not the PSU. on Beginning Of the End For PC Noise · · Score: 1

    I ended up getting an AeroCool VM-101 dealie for my graphics card, and it's made a world of difference in the amount of noise my machine makes. Installation was pretty straightforward once I popped the original GPU fan off the card. Well worth investing in if you have the previous generation of gfx card or earlier in your machine.

  10. Re:Subwoofer! on Oceanic Sounds of Last Year's Earthquake · · Score: 1

    Seriously, if any of you out there are working on some low-budget space movie or anything, this is the perfect accompaniment track for that huge spaceship you've got taking off/flying by. Layer it up with a couple of other tracks and you'll have a very nice full ship sound.

  11. Re:How exactly would one police such a thing? on Orkut Linked To Drug Ring Bust · · Score: 1

    I can provide a loving home to one of your kittens.

  12. Re:US Gvt. develops a medical software system... on U.S. Government Crafted OSS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I should get a copy of this as a US citizen and taxpayer.

    Ahhh, but the question is do you feel that a Canadian, Japanese, or (god forbid!) French citizen/doctor/whoever should be able to get a copy of this for free also?

  13. Re:Now I understand... on U.S. Government Crafted OSS · · Score: 2, Funny

    You have to admit that this makes it really easy to pick out which slashdotters are little w4r3z m0nk33z.

  14. Re:Obviously.. on Longhorn's Offical Name is Windows Vista · · Score: 1

    *WHOOOOOOSH*

  15. what about passport? on Longhorn's Offical Name is Windows Vista · · Score: 1

    I heard that they're also planning on relaunching their Passport service as Windows Visa.

  16. Re:The Tyranny of Email on Driven to Distraction by Technology · · Score: 1

    It's nice to be master of your own domain, even if it is a tiny one.

    In the future, you may not want to put those two phrases together like that... : p

  17. exactly right on Driven to Distraction by Technology · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's why I just ignore all of it and sit in my office playing Nethack and reading slashdot. Occasionally somebody will pop their head in, but I just tell them I'm busy and I'll come find them in a few minutes. They usually just go bother someone else.

  18. Re:sad thing is... on Top 10 Web Fads · · Score: 1

    The original hampsterdance song was a sped up clip of a Roger Miller tune from the Disney movie Robin Hood. The site then changed it to that godawful dance crap. I'm assuming it's because they were threatened by a lawsuit from Disney...

  19. Re:The other side of things. on Net Marketers Worried as Cookies Lose Effectiveness · · Score: 2, Funny

    Because obviously somebody is spoofing their IP address...

  20. Re:Yes, yes it does. on Net Marketers Worried as Cookies Lose Effectiveness · · Score: 5, Funny

    Have you SEEN their editing abilities?

    They have editing abilities?

  21. Re:Banks & Credit Card Companies on Do Not Call List Under Attack · · Score: 1

    They can only tranfer information to companies that have affilations with them already...

    It would seem to me that every bank has some sort of affiliation with Visa and Mastercard, among others...

  22. Re:What productivity? on Websurfing Damaging U.S. Productivity? · · Score: 1

    Damn! Where can I get one of those jobs? My current job requires only about 30-60 mins of actual effort per day. Of course, the flipside is that I'm constantly being told how great a job I'm doing and I've received about a 15% salary increase over the past year. Although, having a job that actually requires some brainpower and results in a sense of satisfaction would be nice, too...

  23. the real question on New iBooks 'Any Day Now' · · Score: 0, Redundant

    But will it be snappier?

  24. Re:Planets on Google Moon Debuts · · Score: 1

    Oh, like you know anything about how planets are made...

  25. Re:Useless. on SiteKey to Prevent Phishing · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't worry too much. They'll probably have DoubleClick handle the cookie for them.
