  1. Re:Who uses Yahoo & why? on Yahoo Reminds Users That 'No' Doesn't Mean 'No' · · Score: 1

    Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

    Well, I'm guessing that's because someone shot nostalgia in the back.

  2. Re:Mind the electronic spam, don't mind the paper. on Yahoo Reminds Users That 'No' Doesn't Mean 'No' · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I mind the paper. Even though it's easy enough to throw it in the recycle bin and wash my guilty conscience of it, I'd still feel better if it were never created in the first place.

  3. Pffft! Gangs! on Gangs Extort Companies With DDoS Attacks · · Score: 2, Funny

    I bet it's those damn Jets! They're always trying to stick it to the Sharks.

  4. Re:School enforced traffic shaping on P2P Solutions To Legal Game-Related Downloads? · · Score: 1

    Um, since the students paid for it in the Computer and Lab fee that was tacked on to their tuition bill? I'd say that if you pay for something, it's your right to use it. But I'm probably crazy.

  5. Comcast on Which Webmail Service Do You Use? · · Score: 1

    Get a Comcast Cable account. It comes with the best webmail I've ever seen. I mean, who wouldn't want a client that not only opens the mail in a new window without warning you, but mazimizes the "member page" while resizing the mail window to a funky size that doesn't fit on an 1152x864 screen? Add to that timeouts and multiple-sending of messages and you've got one slick client.

    If you were asking for the best webmail, then Comcast would be it! Assuming, of course, that by "best" you mean "worst."

  6. Re:Yeah, that would fix it... on Practical Jokes on Co-Workers? · · Score: 1

    "They are suck WinBlowz loves that it would be great to see if they noticed, plus could make a few bucks on an inner-office betting pool."

    Huh? What the fuck is ADD, when you speak in Greetz?

  7. Re:Why Does Slashdot Care???!! on Microsoft Issues Five New Security Warnings · · Score: 4, Funny

    "This looks like another story to laugh and mock MS. In reality, it is you zealots that look like mormons."

    That doesn't make any sense. A Linux zealot can't even get a date, let alone several wives!

    You need a big mouth to fit around it, 'cuz it's SoBig.F!

    Download and install the full-featured, adware-equipped divx codec. Then, run Adaware to find and remove all the Gator and other adware that is part of the divx package. All the divx with none of the crap!

  14. Not true about Commander Keen on Masters of Doom · · Score: 1

    If you bought a Gravis Gamepad in the early-to-mid-90's, you got Commander Keen (adventure 4, I think) for free. I was quite familiar with Doom and Wolf3D, but I wasn't a 'gamer,' so I didn't have developer loyalty and didn't care who "Id" was and had never heard of Commander Keen. When I bought my Gravis with the Spree-looking buttons, it changed that.

  15. verbiage on Implementing Intercom-like Videoconferencing? · · Score: 1

    " I want people to be able to see and converse with each other at their desks..."

    Don't you mean "conversate?"

  16. Game Theater XP on Computer Audio - To USB or Not to USB? · · Score: 2, Informative

    This little bugger, the Hercules Game Theater XP was first released to Market about 3 years ago and has enjoyed relative obscurity compared to Creative's offerings, though it was far superior to the SBLive! Platinum (Creative's flagship at the time). After it was released, I waited for some reviews to come in and they were quite good, so I bought one. Then I bought another. Then my father-in-law bought one.

    It is PCI based, with nost of your I/O's on the breakout box, including 4 USB ports, gold-plated 1/4" headphone with control pot, gold-plated 1/4" line-in with control pot, gold-plated RCA line-in, game port, gold-plated 1/8" main and surround line-out, 6 gold-plated RCA line-outs (main left/right, surround left/right, center, subwoofer), Digital S/PDIF Input & Output (Coaxial & Optical), MIDI-In/MIDI-Out DIN connectors (MPU-401 compatible).

    I've never had a problem with it. Drivers are great. 7.1 Audio is nice! It's based on the Crystal CS4624 DSP, a fairly capable chip.

    When released, it sold for about $150, compared to the SBLive! Platinum, which came in at over $200. I don't see it at CompUSA and BestBuy today, but I'm sure you can find one.

  17. Re:q3radiant on Architecture / Home Design Software? · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's pretty cool. Did you create a playable Q3A map of your house? If so, what did you put in the toilet? Quad Damage?

    Could you post the map of your house somewhere so I can download it. Also, in the map, could you label where you keep your jewelry, money, and fire safety box? And could you post your address, directions to your house, and times when nobody is home?

    Thank you.

    Exactly. Reading Slashdot is work. Er, at least I charge my employer as if it's work! Why would I want to work when I go to the ballgame? Oh, right! Because baseball is even more boring than the crap I'm supposed to do at work.

  25. Bicycle Trainer on Getting Back Into Shape While At The Office? · · Score: 1

    Get a trainer for your bicycle (assuming, of course, that you have a bicycle). When I graduated from college I realized that, much to my chagrin, I had gained 35 pounds of flubb. Before then, I was into mountain biking, so I wanted something that I could hook onto my bike to ride it indoors.

    A good bit of research, led me to choose the Kurt Kinetic over the others.

    Riding it for 30 minutes every day for two months, I lost about 30 pounds.
