  1. Re:How did his parents raise him? on Eight Year Old Physics Student Admitted to College · · Score: 1

    Likely thanks to the attention this article gave the wiki entry, the page on Vendergood has been defaced.

  2. And yet..... on Firefox 1.0.7 Released · · Score: -1

    The little red arrow only points to 1.0.6 :-/

  3. Re: How many more times, Zonk??? on Creative MP3 Players Ship With Virus · · Score: 1

    You have to subscribe to get advance notice of all of the dupes before they pulled ;-P

  4. Re:Wow... on Death Star Subwoofer · · Score: 1

    17:57 -- 322 mins -- 158, 517 Two other things to note - this is probably on places like fark, and not just slashdot. The auction also ends in roughly 15 hours from the time of this post, and would be more likely to receive multiple repeat views as people check the bid (£130.00) due to sniping.

  5. Re:Nice work, Gary on Keyboards are Havens for Super Bugs · · Score: 1

    How big of an autoclave do you think you need? Other than for dental use, the basic hospital sterilizer starts around 4 cubic feet, and goes up to over 70 cubic feet. The fun part is geting a keyboard that doesn't mind hitting 134C for 3 or 4 minutes.

  6. Re:Videos on Tsunami Satellite Images · · Score: 1

    Currently seeding most of the WoD home videos, and will leave them going for a few days.

  7. Re:Just because 6.2% don't have phones on Louisiana Towns Going High-Tech · · Score: 1

    Landlines are OK - as long as they're someone else's. Same goes for tractors. My mother's Amish neighbors routinely walk to a Mennonite home to use a phone booth. They also don't mind asking for someone to help pull a stump with a tractor. Payment for the use of either service can be via barter or cash. For help pulling a stump last year, the neighbors planted 2 rows of peas for my family. Fresh peas all summer long, and they were delivered!

  8. Re:Just because 6.2% don't have phones on Louisiana Towns Going High-Tech · · Score: 1

    Except labor is cheap for the Amish. Large families make for cheap labor, especially when everyone contributes.

  9. Re:Funny, I got my account disabled for using Fire on Penn State Tells Students To Ditch IE · · Score: 1

    Even more amusing... click on that threat level, and you get brought to twotigersonline.com. Their home page is a store for items useful if someone drops The Big One.

  10. Re:Protest on Former Turkish DMOZ Editor Draws 10 Months In Jail · · Score: 1

    I bumped into this in another fashion....

    While visiting Germany in the late 80's, I purchased a 1/32nd scale Hasegawa model of an Fi 156 Storch. When I opened the box, I found stickers over the swastikas on the decal sheet.

    With the help of our German hosts, I was also able to purchase some German language books on the SS. These were not kept on the main shelves of the shop. They were downstairs in a back corner, and were only available by special request.

    Well, he did start his career at Arthur Anderson ;-P

  12. By Belenos! on Asteroid 4179 Toutatis Will Miss Earth, This Time · · Score: 1

    I guess the sky is going to fall on our heads after all!

  13. Re:Do you speak ewok? on Made for TV Ewok Movies to be Released on DVD · · Score: 2, Funny

    I call BS. That's Furby talk.

  14. Re:I would feel safer if... on Judges Junk Jailcam · · Score: 1

    Ask any inmate... they've all been unjustly accused, and are innocent. :rolleyes:

  15. Re:Big cenceptional problem on Globalwin Jefi Watercooling Kit Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Bigger conceptual problem with an open system - the water in that reservoir will evaporate. It's a bitch to cool something when your tank is empty.

    There shouldn't have to be any upkeek on a cooling system.

  16. Re:A response to everyone... on Bobby Fischer Found · · Score: 1

    Never happen. Dead men don't wear plaid.

  17. Might be effective.... on UPS - Your Computer Repair Depot? · · Score: 1

    We've all rattled a vending machine to make something drop. Now Toshiba has realized that UPS' famed drop-kicking of packages has a potential payoff!

  18. Re:Maybe it's true? on Affinity Engines Says Google Stole Orkut Code · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's true. Neatly dismissing the accuser because the defendant is Google seems foolish to me.

    Sounds just like pronouncing Microsoft guilty of everything without any sort of trail ;-P

  19. Re:All the storage I need. on Hotmail, Others Follow Gmail's Storage Boost · · Score: 1

    Those people are lucky. We're not supposed to use corporate email for personal stuff, but they've also removed the alternatives. All of the major web-based email services are blocked by our IT department.

  20. Re:weapons of mass destruction? on Japanese Balloon Battle · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Just as unguided as the 1000 plane raids staged over Germany. As unguided as the incendiary raids over Japan. Just because we're th good guys didn't mean we didn't do the same thing.

  21. Re:The conversation in the board room tomorrow... on Cell Phone Customer Service Ranked Next to Last · · Score: 1

    As a member of the Quality Department I can give you one reason why they won't - customer service is a cost center. It doesn't directly MAKE the company money. As a general rule, if execs can't see positive cashflow rolling in from a given department or division, it gets the short end of the stick. And it turns out the cost of quality is one of the hardest items to quantify.

  22. Re:Consonant-Vowel Method on Password Memorability and Securability · · Score: 1

    Our previous verwsion of bulletin board software stored passwords in plain-text in the user's profile. As an administrator, it became a handy tool to root out a troublemaker. He was posting across multiple accounts, but using the same exact password patterns for each user account he had created. Made it real easy to prove that they were one and the same person.

  23. Trolls must be tired... on Calculate When You Are Most Awake · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Story's been up for 20 minutes, and there aren't any FIRST POSTs yet.

  24. Re:Read the Article! on USS Enterprise Finally Flies · · Score: 1

    Eh, don't feel bad. The guy who moderated your original post up as "Informative" is obviously paying even less attention.
