  1. A cheap way, if you have an ogg player already on OGG Capable Car Stereos? · · Score: 1

    Get a car tape player, and a 2.5mm to tape adapter. Done. Plug in a CD player, and no need to worry about the built in one dying. If you want power, get a cigarrette lighter power adaptor, or a 120 V car inverter... or just charge a lot of batteries.

    Hey, this is slashdot, not pimp my ride.

  2. Re:your sig on Will MacIntel Hardware Open The Door for Mac OS X CAD? · · Score: 1

    The movie titles were old enough to be public domain, so that dosen't really matter either.

  3. Exactly on Dissecting Songs Down to Their 'Musical Genome' · · Score: 1

    I have doubts the system will be useful for telling one what other stuff to listen to, unlike this system: http://www.gnoosic.com/ . You can plug in U2, Radiohead, and Coldplay, and find other boring and pretentious music to listen to! So!

  4. Good start... on Dissecting Songs Down to Their 'Musical Genome' · · Score: 1

    Bow only if the complexity or anything could be found to have relevance on the enjoyability of a song... I'd rather listen to the Ramones than Be Bop wanker jazz, or for that matter, Brittany Spears.

  5. my back hurts... on Portable Storage Guide · · Score: 1

    One large laptop, two power bricks, and a 160 gig usb 2 drive go with me whenever I want to use my laptop at school. I can watch napoleon dynamite any time I want, though.

  6. I'm out of touch.... on Armed Dolphins Released Into Gulf of Mexico · · Score: 1

    I forgot what that stood for! Come to think of it, when do you capture the flag in counter-strike? I think you've been playing CS a little too little.

  7. What do you expect? on Sun President Says PCs Are Relics · · Score: 1

    I haven't read the article, but it seems pretty obvious to me that the company that owns Java, Solaris, and all of their other client/server stuff (or "solutions" if you prefer buzzwords) would say that sorta thing...

  8. Flamebait Squared on Top 50 Science Fiction TV Shows · · Score: 5, Funny

    Slashdot is not a place for a reasonable discussion of Sci-Fi shows. This might hurt someone's karma...

  9. Trust me... on Is the iPod Generation Going Deaf? · · Score: 1

    Somebody did.

  10. Probably not on Is the iPod Generation Going Deaf? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Even if they are active, they will just cancel out the external sounds. I am not sure how to work it out, but I would expect the energy to transfer to heat or somethin'. I would think that noise cancelling headphones would reduce hearing loss, as you don't need as much sound.

  11. All very nice... on Technology In Katrina's Wake · · Score: 1

    DISCLAMER: I have not read the article

    Aren't there better things to do with what money is available? How about food? Water? Better equipment for ham radio users in the affected areas? Communication is nice, but a central database server and a computer (and an operator) for every camp could connect families who don't have email accounts already. Although it could be useful, I think there are better uses for money, rather than a touchy-feely-linuxy thing.

  12. Of course on Quantum Information Can be Negative · · Score: 2, Funny

    The truth of the Time Cube surrounds even the most educated stupid researches of us. -(1) + -(1) = +(A North American).

  13. My response... on March of the Penguins Tops Box Offices · · Score: 1

    is yet another article to RTFA. I mainly meant what I was saying as a joke, but I thought the article was more of a space filler. Thank you for enlightening me.

  14. You know... on March of the Penguins Tops Box Offices · · Score: 1, Troll

    Penguins are actual animal. Linus Torvalds did not invent them. I fail to see the relevance of some boring smelly animal on slashdot, or some movie about said creature.

  15. Another one... on Monad Shell Removed From Vista · · Score: 1

    A server operating system for servers? Surely you jest.
    An editor who fufills the job of an editor? Surely you jest.

  16. Re:Color me unimpressed. on Internet-Controlled Train Set · · Score: 1

    Give a slashdotted site and a .NET applet a chance, k? The java applets are still loading here... been over a minute

  17. No on Windows Longhorn Beta Screenshots · · Score: 1

    All the anti-microsoft folks are busy writing kernel patches. Someone had the brilliant idea of writing a script to make new stabs at microsoft, but it turns out /dev/random wasn't that random...

  18. PS on Alex, The Brainy Parrot Who Knows About Zero · · Score: 1

    I meant the advertiser's images

  19. Really? on Alex, The Brainy Parrot Who Knows About Zero · · Score: 1

    I would expect money not to come from reading the HTML, but from requesting the images... oh well, better than nothing. I should get to that...

  20. How I will read it: on Alex, The Brainy Parrot Who Knows About Zero · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Rather than downloading the ads, I will use wget to download the html, and download the pictures. No money to RP.

  21. And guess what? on Last Year's Gadgets Get New Life As... Jewelry · · Score: 1

    They agreed.

  22. writing "'...xpert'..." on Florida Man Charged For Stealing Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    should be punishable by death without a trial... or maybe just the same as a second degree murder. Yeah, the latter is more fair.

  23. Correction: on Anatomy of a Hack · · Score: 1

    I did not mean to say that it is immoral or moral to infringe on a network. I merely meant to say that morality is decided by the person doing the action.

    But yes, voluntary "pen testing" is probably often helpful. perhaps crackers could masquerade as white hats (company's POV, hactivists go under crackers in this example) if something screws up... but often companies won't even patch holes when they are pointed out (sorry, no source).

  24. Yes on Leap Second This Year · · Score: 1

    You forgot to take into account "Double Leap Seconds"

    I remeber reading about some Unix library or whatnot (ctime or something) that could handle them... musta been a slow news day on /.

  25. Glad they told me it was immoral to (cr|h)ack... on Anatomy of a Hack · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ..into other people's networks.

    I wouldn't have figured that out without them. From what I understand, laws describe what is legal, and individuals decide what is moral. Then again, maybe psycopaths need to be told...
