  1. Re:slashdot giving us the spyware experience on A Day in the Life of a Spyware Company · · Score: 1

    you forgot: 4: re-read Slashdot. This way when you click the link to the story those advertisers get more money too. 5: Everybody profits!

  2. Re:Sega buys GameWorks? on Rebirth of the U.S. Arcade? · · Score: 1

    And there's another in Philly. Well, there was when I was there 7 years ago. Here's their map

  3. Alternative obscure OS? on Who is Going to Buy SkyOS? · · Score: 1

    What about QNX?? QNX is easier to obtain than SkyOS from my experience.

  4. Re:So Long on Human-Dolphin Partnership Reserve · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Take this guy up to a 5. Hurry! Mod him up!! I'd give him a '42' if I could.

  5. Re:As bad as the HP - Compaq merger... on Microsoft/Yahoo! Merger a Good Idea? · · Score: 1

    More than double ditto that. I've had my Yahoo account for over 7 years. Although there's a ton of daily spam not more than 2 messages slip through to my inbox each day. The last thing I want is Microsoft tangled up in my mail and making changes that won't work properly outside of Internet Exploder. In the unlikely event Yahoo is acquired by MS I'll drop it as one my primary accounts near immediately. Now if Yahoo were acquiring MicroShaft... Ooh, next years Ponies, Google buys Microsoft!!

  6. Re:No back seat. on UBC Engineers Reach Mileage Of Over 3000 MPG · · Score: 5, Funny

    No, no. You lay in it.

  7. Re:Guess what? on Teen Sues MySpace Over Sexual Assault · · Score: 1

    You mean you wouldn't believe me if I told you I was 5'8", blonde, 34C, athletic, 18, and I want you? I can even send you a picture. Let me search Google images for a good one.

  8. Re:Had to exchange a motherboard on Linux 2.6.17 Released · · Score: 1

    Why not try an Intel board? Not to be a fanboy or anything but their linux support is good. Intel NICs can't be beat for support and performance either.

  9. Re:In case of slashdot, break mirror on Linux 2.6.17 Released · · Score: 1

    Right, how often does kernel.org get /.'ed? They've got some serious bandwidth. Maybe if the posted some photos of the new kernel we could bring them down.

  10. Re:Just one question on Cellular Companies Join to Improve Linux · · Score: 1

    FWIW, if the phone isn't crippled (think Veri$on here), and it's bluetooth you do have some options. I can readily send contacts and pictures from my phone to my laptop. Ideally I'd like to be able to sync a calendar in both directions. There are plugins for Evolution but I may want something more cross platform friendly like a Google Cal.

  11. Re:Nice on OSVids Shows Video Clips of Linux in Action · · Score: 1

    might as well mod the poor guy up if you've got the points.

  12. Re:Now there's progress. on Google Earth v4 Released - Linux Support at Last · · Score: 1

    Accelerated Nvidia graphics, 3Ghz P4, 2GB RAM - GoogleEarth roxxors!!! Even better than ponies! OMG!

  13. Re:I can't wait for my new Carbon Fiber bike now! on A Cleaner, Cheaper Route to Titanium · · Score: 1

    Ti in a bike is for little people. I might consider a 60/40 but I'd rather ride good carbon fiber frame. I've snapped too much Ti in bike gear. Ti pedals have weight limits too. 185lbs max typically. Sorry, I border that and push hard. Ain't killing myself to shave some grams on the bike. Cheap carbon fiber is a no-no though.

  14. Re:The following.... on What Should One Know to be Truly Computer Literate? · · Score: 1

  15. But does it run on linux... on Spy Sweeper, the Next Netscape? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Yes, it's a troll! I'm in that mood. So mod me down if you want.

  16. Re:Brilliant! on Pearl Jam Releases Video Under Creative Commons · · Score: 1

    OMG! Ponies!! Try watching a little DL.TV. After April 1st and all that pink it's more Slashdot than CowboyNeal! Maybe CowboyNeal should release a video to spark more interest for him.

  17. Re:Torrent for "Catch Me If You Can" on Tech Fraud Beating Out Social Engineering · · Score: 2, Funny

    The irony in all this is "Catch Me If You Can" was the *ONLY* movie I ever theater hopped. Only because of the name did I do it. Caught I was not.

  18. Re:Sparkling Mineral Water on The Soda Situation - Succulent Drinks w/o the Sweets? · · Score: 1

    San Pellegrino tastes like ass. What, are you french or something? I'd rather drink iodine treated water from a stream! For now I'll stick with my under the counter filtration system.

  19. Re:uhhh on The Soda Situation - Succulent Drinks w/o the Sweets? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    As long as it's not in exploding cans. Okay, maybe you're not a hot coffee guy so brew up a pot and put it in a pitcher. Toss it in the fridge. A glass of ice, dash of milk, bam!! Iced cofee!! Happy chuggin'

  20. Backwards compatible on Dell, HP, Lenovo Announce New Display Protocol · · Score: 3, Insightful

    More importantly than being backward compatible with DVI is well it accept a DVI-VGA adapter. You're not taking my kick ass 17" IBM tubes from my workbench any time soon. LCD is just not dependable for working at various resolutions.

  21. Re:FULLY naked hairy man on I Was Young And I Needed The Money · · Score: 1

    Shudder I do. As a PC tech I hate to think of touching laptop keyboards though I do on a daily basis. You just don't know where they've been. With the advent of textual sex it's even scarier because you're using a mouse less and accidents happen you know. Ugh, darn you for bringing that up. Now I'll need a box of gloves for work. Damn you AC!

  22. Bose is for yuppies on Sony More Trustworthy Than Microsoft · · Score: 2, Informative

    The whole damned report is biased. It's like a Slashdot poll!! Only yuppies by Bose. It's the names the average joe hardly knows that sound best. Klipsch, Energy, Definitive Technologies, A&R, Sunfire, and too many others to even mention. /rant - Just had to sound off

  23. Re:Drasticly Needed Action on Trekkie Dating, is it Good for the Gene Pool? · · Score: 1

    I think you meant the southeast USA. Perhaps extend as far west as Texass but that's it. NM and AZ are just fine ;-) You'll likely find more Trekkies in the southwest as well considering you've got NV w/ Area51 and NM with Roswell. Eh?!

  24. Re:Prediction: on Handling a Cross Country Move? · · Score: 1

    That's why you don't post as AC. Surely you can Google the average cost of living for the county you'll be in. Add to that any research you can do into the crime scene. All depends where on the West Coast you'll be. I can say for sure that most of Oregon is fairly affordable. California you seem to pay by the square inch for a place to live.

  25. Re:ripping vs encoding on Best Method for Automated CD Ripping? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    FWIW, Audiograbber does just as well as EAC IMHO. YMMV. As for unattended ripping, are you seeking accurate tags or not? Are you willing to sift through everything later if something didn't work right? As for myself, I'm in the midst of re-ripping my entire CD collection (only about 200 right now) to MP3 with LAME via Audiograbber with "V 0 --vbrnew" for near lossless quality. (all you purists can just STFU, I'm aware of compression and how it affects things. I can also tell you I'm only human and my speakers didn't cost more than my car). Why re-rip? Greater compatibility across devices. Everything is presently VBR OGG which I've been very happy with but can't easily throw 5 albums on a disc for my car or load up one of those black or white fruit things with songs. So, sit down, shut up, properly tag and encode in one pass. Do what I do, rip while you work. Pick up where you left off. If you're in a hurry send somebody else your collection and let them do it for you.
