  1. Longhorn on Grokker Search Engine Provides Visual Search Results · · Score: -1, Troll

    It would be cool to have this Grokker engine in the next version of windows. An icon of all files would be nice, and I think it is already planned.

  2. Re:How about the AT&T Switch failure in NY? on Examples of Programming Gone Wrong? · · Score: 1

    I read about that in a book called "Masters of Deception" I suggest you read it.

  3. Even though... on As Languages Evolve... · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Even though i am just starting programming, I would prefer a language that is more abstract. I think it allows for faster programming. Just tell me if I am wrong.

  4. Can you clarify? on Car Cellphone Bans Driving Bluetooth · · Score: 1

    In the post it says they ban the use of them in cars. Does that mean no using cell phones inside a car, no holding a cell phone while driving, or what?

  5. Re:What is its goal? on Windows XP Tablet PC Edition · · Score: 1

    I hope they use something like Newton's hand recqonition. I know I'm preaching to the choir, but i think thats the best one out there at this time.

  6. Re:Clarifying:REAL QUESTION on Open Blade Servers? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Uhh That was a real question. Could someone please answer??

  7. New Wave? on Buying Handhelds Without an OS? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Will this bring around a whole new wave or DIY computer cases and OC'ed Handhelds? Roll your own PDA distro! Call it Tux for your tux! Future slashdot headline: New small footprint record set by using a DIY PDA and a mini Water Cooling system.

  8. Clarifying on Open Blade Servers? · · Score: 4, Funny

    So a balde server is sort of like a pie but in reverse. Instead of making it smaller you make it bigger by adding some more stuff, but you still share the same pan.

  9. I agree.... on Cheap Computers in My Classroom? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I am in 8th grade, and i think it would be the coolest thing to have a network of non-regular computers (ie Macintosh Power PC's) running Linux. You might want to wait a little bit, like until you get more experience or even if you get moved up. 5th grade is probably the earliest youll see results that are worth the time effort and money.

  10. Proof? on Cable Industry Taking Control of the Net · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I believe fully in this! Why just the other day my ISP.... This transmission terminated for innappropiate use of Comcast Cable lines. Please refrain from going to any sites in the near future.

  11. Step 5 on Porsche Designs a Laptop · · Score: 1

    Buy a porshce and matching notebook.

  12. Future on Calling Cell Phones Could Cost More · · Score: 1

    I know this will probably never happen, but what would be the upsides/benefits to a universal number- ie a number that goes to your cell and your home phone and maybe even your work phone. You could even take it further by integrating it into other services like .Net

  13. Re:They already have 100% share of the Media marke on Flat Screen Monitors Sales to Reign This Year · · Score: 1

    the best example of this is the 5 flat screen monitor set up in sword fish.

  14. Re:I am not surprised at all on Flat Screen Monitors Sales to Reign This Year · · Score: 1

    Did your school give any special rates if you bought from dell? my cousin goes to Penn State and he got something like 5 or 10 percent off any computers he ordered there.

  15. Price showdown on Flat Screen Monitors Sales to Reign This Year · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Has anyone calculated the price per inch of flat screen monitors and of CRT's. It would be interesting to compare those rates to monitors 6 months ago.

  16. This is a very good thing on Jaguar Free for K-12 Teachers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I am a 8th grade student at a Middle School who is running the yearbook team. I am the sole user of a G3 with the 21 inch CRT display. I love the computer for what it is, and I am even gladder now that I can ask my advisor to order Jaguar from that site for me. Right now the G3 is crashing twice a week, and i want to have some more peace of mind, espcially so I do not have to upload the pictures and templates every night. THANK YOU APPL!

  17. Intranet? on 19 megabits on 3G · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How hard/costly/innefficient would it be to build a LAN out of this? If it is higher than 802.11b, wouldnt it be a better network? I am a kid, so just tell me if this was a stupid idea.

  18. Re:this shouldn't have been accepted by /. on Jet Turbine Locomotives · · Score: 1

    If you want stuff like that, turn on TechTV or go to their site. They are running a story on a elevator that travels from surface to the bottom of the ocean.

  19. TechTV on Jet Turbine Locomotives · · Score: 1, Informative

    Everyone must be getting this at once, because this was featured on TechTV not 5 minutes ago.
