  1. Re:Andy... sure! on Author signs MyDoom virus · · Score: 1

    Maybe by "job" they meant moral duty?

  2. Re:You could say.... on DIY Cruise Missile Grounded · · Score: 1

    The cost is probably reflected in the reliability demands for the US missiles. They want to hit what's being aimed at, and nothing else. Whereas someone with less money might just launch 20 cheapies and hope one or two get in the right area.

  3. yes! on NWN - Hordes of the Underdark in Stores · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I absolutely love this game. I think it's the whole D&D type genre that does it for me (I've never actually played with a pencil and paper though). The thing that does kind of get me down is the camera angles. I much prefer the way morrowind was done. The graphics in NWN have better resolution, but morrowind was just stunning. It's too bad they can't mix the two.

    What I really wish is that someone would make an ungodly beautiful game that's made with multiprocessor machines.

    *drools*

  4. the matrix on Slashback: Matrix, Terminology, Topology · · Score: 1

    Anyone else ever wonder about the software design of the matrix? I mean, a separate program for everything?

  5. hm on Will FCC Regulate Internet Phone Calls? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well lets see. Technically they're only charging fees so that they have the ability to do their regulation thing right? But they don't need to regulate. So why do they need the fees?

    (I know the answer, I'm just making a point)

  6. Re:In one word: on AT&T Sues PayPal and eBay for Patent Infringement · · Score: 4, Funny

    e-vil.

    That's it. I'll see you in court.

  7. Re:Been done before? on Turn Your Head Into Speakers · · Score: 0

    Yeah but it sounds like crap. It's only decent at medium-low volume and has no bass at all.

  8. Re:yeah..nice on New Optical Chip Claims 8 Trillion Operations/sec. · · Score: 3, Funny

    I don't care if it fills my room, and I have to sleep on top of it in the 30cm space between it and the ceiling. I'd still take it.

  9. Re:I want that broadband. on Internet Speed Record Broken (Again) · · Score: 1

    ohio state.

  10. Re:I want that broadband. on Internet Speed Record Broken (Again) · · Score: 1

    It also depends a lot on where you're downloading from you know.

  11. Re:I want that broadband. on Internet Speed Record Broken (Again) · · Score: 1

    When I was living in the dorms at osu I'd get 1024 kbps sustained during off peak hours. Just depends on the connection I guess.

  12. Re:... Why ? on Chic Gear to Suit Net Generation · · Score: 1

    You see, I'm addicted to information.

    And also, I just want the tech developed so I can have a wearable display. My ultimate goal is to be fed intravenously while lying in a bed with half a keyboard under each hand. I need the wearable display.

  13. Re:Predictability, thy name is corporate photoart on The Most Famous Geek in IT · · Score: 1

    Mork? Is that you?

  14. Re:Dear Comrade McBride.... on SCO Roundup · · Score: 1

    What I want to know is, what is so wrong with communism. Can you give me a clear, logical answer? One that doesn't apply to capitalism? Anyone?

    I mean, Even if it were communist, so what?

  15. Re:CSI?!?! on Skulls Gain Virtual Faces · · Score: 1
    zoom in on images taken from blurry security cameras

    I believe the word you are looking for is "enhance".

    Enhance. Enhance. Enhance. Enhance.

  16. Re:16:40 EST, slashdotted... on Skulls Gain Virtual Faces · · Score: 1

    I have my timezone set to botswana to throw off the man. Yeah.

  17. Re:Copying nature? on Ocean Sponge May Be Best for Fiber Optics · · Score: 1

    No you can do it, but after the first person does, you can sure as hell bet you'll never be able to do it again, for better or for worse. (Your methods for better or for worse, not the fact. The fact is for worse.)

    The planet earth is doomed.

  18. Re:But, but, but.. on Worm vs. Worm Battle Slows Networks · · Score: 1

    I'm sure they'll suggest that at the design review next time they're about to write a worm.

  19. Re:Prices? on Bluetooth Headset Roundup · · Score: 1
    It's probably one of those things where if you have to ask, don't bother asking.


    The speaker fits inside your outer ear canal (your ear hole)

    Where was my ear hole again? I forget.

  20. Re:Why did everyone miss this? on The RIAA Hit List - A Pattern Emerges? · · Score: 3, Funny

    It was good of you to qualify that. Otherwise you might have offended someone.

  21. Re:Holy shit, batman, where's your flame-proof sui on Linux Journal Interview With Brian Kernighan · · Score: 5, Funny

    You read the article didn't you. DIDN'T YOU. Never do that again.

    (It led you to assume that the rest of slashdot will.)

  22. Re:Save the environment.. on Rechargeable Batteries - Yes or No? · · Score: 1

    hmm. Does that work while they're still in the ground/ on the trees? Imagine the possibilities! Run wires out to your crop and then sell them at the end of the season.

    (I'm joking of course.) (I think.)

  23. heh on Kinko's Spy Case Illustrates Public Terminal Risk · · Score: 1

    They'd have a still list of exactly the characters you use. That'd take all of 30 seconds to crack.
    You'd better just copy and paste the letters from around the page you're looking at. I mean if you're going for paranoid you might as well go all out.

  24. Re:Maybe offenders should... on Police Target Free Email · · Score: 1

    ...register their free courriel accounts to the address
    1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
    Washington, DC 20500
    then some real criminals can be apprehended =d


    You mean freedom accounts?

  25. I must have shady looking family on Backscatter X-Rays Coming to Airports · · Score: 1

    Alright, I know this is a whole can of worms that shouldn't be opened and that it's unsubstantiated and all that crap, but (I'm assuming you're white) at least you don't get "randomly" selected for humiliation every (this is not embellishment) time. I have a passport, a soc. sec. card, and a drivers license and still they eyeball me like I've just jumped a barbed wire fence from mexico. I generally avoid crossing checkpoints if I can help it. It makes me feel like I'm not wanted here, and it makes me not want to be here. Don't get me wrong, I think that our system of government is the best there is, when it's not broken by popular apathy. But I can see how someone who has no loyalty to it (hasn't grown up with it) could get really really pissed off by the kind of shit that goes on.
