  1. Re:Political Topic on Nader Off Virginia Ballot · · Score: 1

    This is on American politics. I guess they could expand it to world politics, but it would be hard to keep track of.

  2. Fool! on Did You VoteOrNot.org? · · Score: 1

    You should have posted a referal link in your slashdot artical. That would vastly improve your chances of getting the $100 k

  3. What about #77 on Weta Digital Supercomputer For Hire · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Theres no reference to WETA DIGITAL's second cluster, #77 on the list. It contains 588 computers as opposed to 504.
    top 500 page for the cluser here
    Why don't they just combine the two. That would surely grant them a top 10 spot...

  4. Re:try this on Searching For Trouble With Google · · Score: 1

    Get rid of the space... PHP Admin Pages Still pretty bad tho.

  5. Dammit! on Searching For Trouble With Google · · Score: 5, Funny

    Thats my credit card number!

  6. In other news... on Logitech Gives A Mouse A Laser · · Score: 1

    Logitech develops mice with "a personality".
    Strangely colored "Ladybug" and "Football" mice fill up their product line.
    I'm still waiting for a mouse-colored mouse.

  7. What about... on Logitech Gives A Mouse A Laser · · Score: 1
    Battery life, which is a big factor in the purchase of any cordless device.

    This laser seems like it is much stronger (uses more power im assuming). How long would it last before a recharge?

    Also, this thing looks a bit heavier than my MX700. One of the good qualities of the mouse was that you could pick it up easily. Also, after long use, a heavy mouse could tire out many (unathletic - typical of many computer people) people's arms.

    No bluetooth? I always thought that the MX900 was making a step in the right direction by adopting this protocol for its wireless. It allowed more freedom of what devices it could be used on.

    I'm skeptical. It sounds like the technology is a good step forward... but at what cost to the user?

  8. Mirrors... on New iMac Pictures Leaked? · · Score: 1
    Mirror of the pics (before a slashdotting):

    pic 1

    pic 2

  9. I dunno... on New iMac Pictures Leaked? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The pictures looked like flatscreen tv's... Could you really fit an imac in there?

  10. But.... on 5.5 oz. MPEG-4/Audio Portable From Archos · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How much will it cost? Personally, investing $299 to buy an ipod seems a little pricey. If it costs anymore for all of these additions, it will be out of most people's spending range. Who really wants to walk around with a video in their hands anyways?

  11. Half-Life 2 Isn't availible on steam! on Half-Life 2 Going Gold on Monday? [updated] · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The only content on steam are things like textures, sounds and maps (things that wont change before the release). No executibles download. The point of this is so that when the game comes out, people can get it really quickly because they will only need to download maybe some scripts and the executable.

  12. Re:HL is great but what about Team Fortress? on Half-Life 2 Going Gold on Monday? [updated] · · Score: 1

    There haven't been any updates on the release of TF2 in over a year.
    I'm nearly certain that progress has stopped on this project.

  13. The Reason on Windows XP To Get Longhorn Technologies · · Score: 1

    Longhorn will be designed with these features in mind. The base of the os will be optimized for it, and the features will be more tightly interwoven.

  14. Re:Easy... on Hotmail Means to Double Gmail Storage · · Score: 2, Funny

    Personally I'd like less storage space rather than more in this case.

  15. Re:That'll be nice... on Hotmail Means to Double Gmail Storage · · Score: 2, Informative
    When i log in to my hotmail account it tells me:

    This fall, your MSN e-mail will include:

    2GB of storage for your inbox

    20MB send/receive attachment size

    Now: Web e-mail with no graphical ads!

  16. UhOh on Network Solutions Overhauls Whois Results · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What I want to know is why they did away with having the results be returned as an image. Now my email is availible on that site in text format, leaving me suseptible to spam bots that search sites for email addresses.

  17. I have an idea on Fahrenheit 9/11 Discussion · · Score: 1

    Michael Moore for president!

  18. Google Says Your Wrong on Our Friend, The Meter · · Score: 0, Redundant

    According to a quick search, 328 491 feet = 100 124.057 meters.

  19. Thank God on U.S. Navy to Deploy Rail Guns by 2011 · · Score: 2, Funny

    I always knew all those late night quake 3 sessions would help me score a job.

  20. Re:Yes but... on Dell Offers FreeDOS With New PCs · · Score: 1

    Dell was told in their license agreement with Microsoft that they had to ship it with a DOS opperating system. This was their get-around.

  21. It feels wrong. on Dell Offers FreeDOS With New PCs · · Score: 1, Insightful

    At least since OEM versions of windows for them probably barely cost anything. Its like having mcDonalds downgrade their free toy from a fun windup to to just a damn doll that doesn't do shit.

  22. The way Orkut should be on Orkut Goes Dark, At Least For A Bit · · Score: 3, Informative

    Search + Social Networking = Eurekster Too bad google doesnt do what Eurekster does and combine its excelent search capabilites with social networking.

  23. Well on Women Buy More Tech Than Men · · Score: 1

    What do you expect? They always steal our money.

  24. Mirror -- Kinda on The Star Wars Car · · Score: 1
    Since All of the mirrors seem to be down, and a quick google search doesnt find anymore, it seems that the only place to catch a peak of this beast is a small picture here: boingboing.net

    A women, katie horn did the same thing.

  25. Re:It doesn't bother me! on Microsoft Wins HTML App Patent · · Score: 2, Informative

    The realphx and buddypicture.net virus has been using HTA applications to install itself on victims machines.
