  1. Re:WTF on What Happens To Bounced @Donotreply.com E-Mails · · Score: 1

    Or how about customerservice@companydomain.com, something they can actually reply to?

  2. Re:i agree with the public defender on MD Bill Would Criminalize Theft of Wireless Access · · Score: 1

    If I can eat your cookies from my apartment without going in to yours, you must be throwing them through my window and yes I can eat them without your permission.

  3. Re:i agree with the public defender on MD Bill Would Criminalize Theft of Wireless Access · · Score: 1

    But your wifi network is extending itself into my apartment. If you want to claim ownership to something in my PRIVATE space, you really need to do something to announce that claim. An open network advertising the name "linksys" is not asserting any claim of ownership.

  4. Re:Better in half-hour installments on New Futurama Movie Coming in June · · Score: 1

    I'd like to see more "Scary Door", though a full length episode of that would be missing the point.

    About halfway through Bender's Big Score, I got the "aren't we done yet?" feeling. But I got into it again after that. I'm used to watching 5 episodes at a time, though. I'm still looking forward to the remaining movies, and anything that might come after that.

  5. Re:Self censorship on Supreme Court to Hear FCC Indecency Case · · Score: 1

    I can't understand why they seem to think "F---" is less offensive than "Fuck" Anyone who reads that knows exactly what word is being obscured, and doing it just draws attention to the word. Lookee here, there was a "bad word" here, can you guess what it was? I knew that you could.

  6. Re:Well, since we're all in a Futurama kick... on What's Your Favorite Monster? · · Score: 1

    That's not El Chupanibre. (points at larger uglier more vicious monster) That's El Chupanibre

  7. Re:Humans on What's Your Favorite Monster? · · Score: 1

    Scientist: I have combined the DNA of the world's most evil animals to make the most evil creature of them all.

    Man: It turns out it's Man.

  8. Re:Cookie Monster on What's Your Favorite Monster? · · Score: 1

    Forget sucking blood. What about the obsessive desire to count everything you see?

  9. Re:Not new on Ancient Bones of Small Humans Discovered In Palau · · Score: 4, Funny

    Must have been really hot back then

  10. Re:Windows is a terrible gaming platform on Unreal Creator Proclaims PCs are Not For Gaming · · Score: 1

    Installing games on the hard disk is great. Why should I have to get up and change disks just because I want to play a different game? I find myself playing Virtual Console games on my Wii a lot (not actually installed on a hard disk, but conceptually the same thing), because I don't want to get up to change the actual game disk. The problem is, most games on the PC still require the CD to be in the drive, even if all the relevant data has been copied over already.

  11. Re:See the stores on Unreal Creator Proclaims PCs are Not For Gaming · · Score: 1

    Any of the games retailers I've seen, that's exactly the case. A small rack in the corner. Best Buy still has several rows of shelves, but Game Stop/EB Games has the single rack back by the much larger rack of used console games.

  12. Re:Which method? on Should Scientists Date People Who Believe Astrology? · · Score: 1

    She's playing all night, but the music's alright.

  13. Re:What-tonium? on NASA Running Out of Plutonium · · Score: 1

    Or the dog. Then we can name the next element Goofonium

  14. Re:I'm still lost... on eBay Battles Power Sellers · · Score: 1

    (The seller had no contact with me for 2 weeks after a sale, even though I paid her, so I left a "neutral", then the bitch shot back with a "negative" rating saying not to deal with me as a customer) The seller didn't contact you for 2 weeks after you paid, and you left neutral feedback? What does it take to get negative feedback from you?
  15. Re:You're close, actually on Daylight Saving Time Wastes Energy · · Score: 1

    What's the point of that? You're supposed to go Trick-Or-Treating in the dark, that's part of the fun.

    Better mess with the clocks some more so the New Year ticks over while it's light, too

  16. Re:Who Benefits? on Daylight Saving Time Wastes Energy · · Score: 1

    The Broken Window effect says society as a whole does not benefit from a broken window. It doesn't say that the glassmakers don't benefit from it.

  17. Re:A step forward on IBM Measures Force Required To Move Atoms · · Score: 1

    You still need raw materials and energy. Some atoms are pretty cheap (oxygen, carbon, hydrogen), but if they thing you're replicating requires gold or other rarer elements that's going to make certain things cost a lot more than the IP of their design. And I don't even know how to estimate the energy involved, but I assume it will be non-trivial.

  18. Re:No slide show version on Gaffes That Keep IT Geeks From the Boardroom · · Score: 1

    I respect people by letting them wear whatever they want. I expect the same respect out of them. Dressing appropriately mostly means not wearing shorts in winter when you're going to freeze your rear off.

  19. Re:Honestly, on Gaffes That Keep IT Geeks From the Boardroom · · Score: 1

    Only to show for 2 seconds before trying to advance to the next page and another 2 minute load.

  20. Re:Slashdot on Gaffes That Keep IT Geeks From the Boardroom · · Score: 1

    So that's good, right? Who wants to be management?

  21. Re:Epileptics should not Read The Fine Article. on Gaffes That Keep IT Geeks From the Boardroom · · Score: 1

    Better yet, remove the reload entirely. Give people a chance to read each slide and hit "Next" when they're ready. Honest, people are smart enough to advance the pages themselves.

  22. Re:gravity powered? on Gravity Lamp Grabs Green Prize · · Score: 2, Funny

    They should make one attached to your chair and powered by your own weight. Then the pop tarts and beer would make it work better.

  23. Re:Wouldn't it be more accurate... on Gravity Lamp Grabs Green Prize · · Score: 1

    It runs on potential energy, but it is gravitational potential energy. A battery powered lamp also runs on potential energy, chemical potential energy stored in the batteries.

  24. Re:article incorrect on Whatever Happened To The Joystick? · · Score: 1

    I've got a gamepad for the PC with a little stick you can screw in to the d-pad to use like this. Unfortunately, the screwhole ends up being a sharp edge that makes the pad a little hard on the thumb when using it without the stick.

  25. Re:It was due to a change in the gaming habits on Whatever Happened To The Joystick? · · Score: 1

    The joystick was as good as dead from the days of the NES, and there were no FPSs on consoles back then.
