  1. WiFi on Future of Wi-Fi · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I recently drove to ohio from the minneapolis, long drive, with me and several of my friends, well, I brought my laptop and a fairly decent sized antena (omni 8) when we got near a city, it'd connect and i'd check my email every few hours, and have maybe 10-20 minutes of uninterupped internet access. from the hotel, i could use an access point either in the hotel, or from the business acrossed the street (the business had a bigger pipe) and the same scenario on the way home... This is a step closer to uninteruppted access, however the spectrum is fairly clogged, and you get a lot of interference, and many people like me who want free net access. After these bugs are worked out, the only thing we have to worry about is me watching divx while driving... "Oh I love this par...*screech ka-boom*"

  2. Re:Userfriendly on RIAA Smacked by DoS · · Score: 1

    but that would take router admins at an ISP...wait a second, i'm router admin at an isp!!

  3. Think of this on RIAA Smacked by DoS · · Score: 1

    RIAA needs backing for their bill, they pay some script kiddie a few grand to DoS them, they report it but don't have enough information to get the script kiddie, they get backing for the bill, everyone wins, or rather, the RIAA wins.

  4. Ogg Vorbis eh? on Audio Format Listening Tests Concluded · · Score: 1

    Looks like I'll have to get the white album, *again*!

  5. Re:What he's talking about is... on Boeing Joins In Anti-Gravity Search · · Score: 1

    Ziggurat Vertigo actually, and you got here if you successfully completed the second to last stage of the first campaign with the alternate hidden exit. The gravity was 1/8 of regular stages, which made it very fun to play, even single player, but the best was at a LAN and you shot a rocket which caused you buddy to go flying into the corner, and i mean corner, three walls right next to him/her it was fun because it wasn't about dominating the opponent, but the opponents movement, that and they'd get really pissed if you bounced them off of the cieling into the lava pit :)

  6. Re:MOD on Control of the .ORG TLD · · Score: 1

    i had to reply to this again! just to say that i was going through my posts again checking out replies, i read your haiku a second time and almost fell out of my chair, it was good stuff

  7. Re:Cost effective on Ask About 10 Years of Free Web Publishing · · Score: 1

    Yes, but that doesn't go into the depth I was looking for. "These guys give us money." I'm very intrested in their operating costs, and also what they recieve in donation! (Mandrake has money to donate? I remember when they were begging for green.)

  8. Re:MOD on Control of the .ORG TLD · · Score: 1

    yeah, there is, it's called loosing your ability to mod and metamod!

  9. MOD on Control of the .ORG TLD · · Score: 1, Insightful

    oh man, mod this up! really come on, most first posts are trolls or annoying but this i laughed my ass off at this

  10. Re:Cost effective on Ask About 10 Years of Free Web Publishing · · Score: 1

    Yes, but compared to almost any site (save google and their wonderful views on a user-centric experience) have ads that take most of my screen real estate! on slashdot, the ad behind the main story when i want to look through the comments takes up another large chunk (and i run at a high res, the poor sucker at 800x600 it's probabally full screen)

  11. Cost effective on Ask About 10 Years of Free Web Publishing · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What do you do for revenue? Most free hosting services are plauged with crappy obtrusive ads and pop up/under windows that annoy me to no end. I try to avoid these sites (ie geocities/angelfire) however you don't have much in the way of ads, how to you have any capital?? (and if you wouldn't mind telling the slashdot editors maybe they can remove some of the larger ads on the site...

  12. I Spy (movie) on Heads-Up Wearable Display · · Score: 1

    I saw a trailer for I spy, a new spy movie, looks horrible, but they had a transparent HUD in a contact, i know the technology is far off, but with the aforementioned cloth screens, and stuff like this. It'd be nice to have a virtual 30' screen that only you can see (pr0n/quake wahoo!)

  13. Re:Military Uses on Boeing Joins In Anti-Gravity Search · · Score: 1

    ZIG VERT BABY! zig vert was the best level in the world to death match in, IMHO! i still play it with a few of my dear friends every now and again!

  14. Re:Sorry, I have to say it.... on Social Robot? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    do you wonder why you never get a date? you're too negative buddy! think of it this way, how many questions will be answered "yes, i will meet you in the hotel room."

  15. She runs linux eh? on Social Robot? · · Score: 2, Funny

    touch, finger, uzip, configure(you know what i mean *wink*), mount, force, make, umount, sleep

  16. What we need is... on Perens Backs Down from DMCA Violation · · Score: 1

    enough people breaking unjust laws until they're repealed like prohibition. Hardware modifications need to become mainstream, especially the ones that are slightly more subversive, but still have legitimate use. The difficult part is the nerd/geek demograph is small, and rarely addressed by any political figure.

  17. I wouldn't believe anyone whose editors on U.S. Developing 100-Kilowatt Laser for Strike Fighters · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    spell defense defence. I mean, it's not like they post on slashdot...

  18. Re:Duh... on Bad MEN Of Wireless · · Score: 1

    I wasn't quoting anything, I was saying money is the root of all evil. If it's so commonly misquoted then maybe more people think it's the other way around.

  19. Re:Thats on Bad MEN Of Wireless · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's a chicken-and-the-egg argument. Is money evil for luring us, or are we evil for our love of it.

  20. Duh... on Bad MEN Of Wireless · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you're having a hard time coming up with a great new idea, what's the easiest way to stay in buisness? keep others from coming up with great new ideas, or prevent them from using them. We all know money is the root of evil, and we all yearn for it, are we not all evil? Being evil, you'd have to agree with their practices, in their position, but if what they do affects you in any negative way, you bitch.

  21. good stuff on First Wind-up Phone Charger Review · · Score: 1

    now if i ever get stranded on the side of a mountian i won't have to fling my batteries into the snow so that they can be magically recharged, i do emphasis magical, because frozen batteries don't work

  22. This is excellent on Motorola, Nintendo, & Sony Towards Wireless Gaming · · Score: 1

    I wonder if the every day D.I.Y.er will get busted for putting his own 802.11b card in his "ps/2"

  23. Have you thought that maybe... on Chip a Playstation, Go to Jail · · Score: 1

    There aren't 413 playstation 2 games (as said by several people), so the PS/2 signifies playstation/playstation 2. a collection of games for both. Ergo, he was probably modding both of them as well. Quit your trolling

  24. Great! on HP: Rival Printers Mean No More HPs Through Dell · · Score: 1

    I hope Dell's computer quality transfers over to their printers, they'd beat HP down, and I like HP printers, that's the only thing from HP I'd EVER buy.

  25. Re:Wow, 9.0 so soon? on Mandrake Linux 9.0 Beta 1 · · Score: 1

    Yes, Mandrake is making an effort to stay current, and doing a hell of a job with it too!
