  1. It's a stretch... on Palm Kills Off Graffiti · · Score: 2

    to call Graffiti 'world beating'. I'd call it 'sanity defeating'. Bout drove me crazy. Did drive me off the platform.

    Now, the plain text recognition in the Newton - that was world beating (er, had the world paid attention, granted). Nearly every day I write messy (nicely recognized) notes in my 2100 newt I wonder, "Lord! what would it be like if Apple had worked on it since '98!?!"

    *sigh*

    I'm like Iron Man with his armor - on the shelf I have all my past newtons and several current ones (ebay) in case one is damaged in battle...

  2. Poetic justice on Case to Step Down from AOLTW · · Score: 2

    The bubble popped
    now Steve is chopped

    Without a doubt,
    Time's run out

    For all he built,
    a crazy quilt

    that got too big,
    became a pig

    now Case is gone,
    (I think I'll yawn)

    *sorry*
    *hey! I've got spell checking in Safari in the comment box!! Woo hoo!*

  3. Spam? on Major Problems With Safari · · Score: 2

    I likespam. Always have. I'll have your spam. I love it. I'm having spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, baked beans, spam, spam, spam and spam right now!

  6. Hee hee! on My Segway HT "Month-iversary" · · Score: 2

    It's funny to hear so many slashdotters condemn something because it results in 'less exercise'!

    It's like... Geek LaLane... Hoo!

  7. It's the helmets... on My Segway HT "Month-iversary" · · Score: 2

    That's why.

    How in the world did I survive my childhood of high speed, daredevil bicycle and scooter riding without a helmet?
    Maybe I'd have retained a few more IQ points taken away by the unprotected falls. (hmmm - also may explain why I like slashdot...)

  8. Thanks on Droning On · · Score: 2

    Hun!

  9. I think it's wonderful and could be cost effective on Droning On · · Score: 3, Funny

    Drones in the air will mean less people at risk, safer borders, and a safer country. And hey! Let's cut the cost a bit by having them pull advertising banners!

    pulled by a 3.7 million dollar plane ... I can see it now.

    Or better yet, they'll do surveillance and transmit broadband signals!

    This is America, don't dare us - we'll call you on it.

  10. I believe ... on Should We Change the Weather Even If We Can? · · Score: 2

    Simon Bar-Sinister already did it. Underdog kicked his ass and destroyed the Weathermachine. Appears to me that a few people are due a leeetle visit from you-know-who (and he just took his pill).

  11. It seems like just yesterday... on The 20th Anniversary of the Internet · · Score: 3, Funny

    In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
    And the earth was without form, and void; and there was no Spam.
    And the Spirit of God moved slowly through modems.
    And God said, Let there be speed: and there was speed.
    And God saw the speed, that it was good: and God divided the slow from the fast.
    And God called the speed true Broadband Internet, and the slow he called AOL.
    And the evening and the morning were the first day.

    (apologies)

  13. Re:Waterproof notebooks on Waterproof Books · · Score: 3, Funny

    but you can't feed it throught a laser printer or copier or it will melt on the hot roller.

  14. I could have a waterproof book... on Waterproof Books · · Score: 2

    I'll put my iPod in a Ziplock. The last 5 books I've 'read' were on my iPod (dl'ed from from audible.com)

  15. LCDs aren't burn proof on Forty-two Inch Plasma Monitor · · Score: 2

    I was just reading the 'cure' for a burned-in image on Apple's support area. The cure was to leave a white rectangle up (filling the screen) for the same length of time the image that is 'burned' onto the screen was displayed (which causes the burn)

    So Jupiter is just a ... slut?

  19. Yeah! on Melting Away Ice Hazards · · Score: 2

  21. what a cool guy... on Melting Away Ice Hazards · · Score: 4, Funny

    There once was a man named Petrenko
    who found flow where you'd not think to think so

  25. The watch is beside the point... on Thermally Powered Mechanical Wristwatch · · Score: 2


    It's the innovative power supply and it's potential uses, silly.

    Why, this is close to a perpetual motion machine (and temperature variations abound)....
