  1. Re:Who cares? on Why Johnny Can't Handwrite · · Score: 1

    I'm 15 and I block any of my friends who use web accronyms on AIM, IRC, ICQ or anything really. Don't call it a generation or age group thing, it's in intelligence problem.

  2. And to your left... on The Death of Bluetooth? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You see a sterile, erm, wired geek.

    At what point did putting a bunch of PAN devices that broadcast a moderatly high frequency signal all over ones body become a good idea? I know it wouldn't be a problem under normal circumstances, but theres always going to be some very, very gadget-laden people...

  3. Oh sweet irony on SCO Shows 80 Lines of Evidence? · · Score: 1

    On the 'friends' link about that groups claims, the advertisement on the side? "Installing Linux - Blindingly Easy"

  4. Mandrake on UK Councils May Dump Windows For Linux · · Score: 1

    Is the slowest distro I have ever run. Run Slackware, and you'd be seeing a 'normal' speed, do the smart thing and run gentoo or any other full compile distro and you'd be smoking faster than windows does ( ;

  5. Re:How many models are there? on Maine Completes Largest To-Scale Solar System Model · · Score: 1

    I don't think they're the largest TO SCALE model. There's quite a difference.

  6. Sure it's all fun and games now on Pioneer's Wearable Computer Jacket · · Score: 5, Funny

    Untill someone hacks your T-Shirt and puts a goatse picture on the back, or DDoSes your pants.

  7. Verizon on Cell Phone Number Portability Ruling · · Score: 1, Funny

    Is it just me, or have they been pissing off far to many social groups recently?

    Soon we're going to turn on the news and see "Verizon CEO viciously beaten in the street by working class, executives, geeks, and teenage girls"

  8. Re:Back in the days... on Massive Unreal 2K3 Mod Contest Launched · · Score: 2

    Maybe some kid can do it as a school project!

    Oh wait...

  9. Rural. on Putting the TV Broadcast Spectrum to Better Use? · · Score: 1

    Yes, lets give Farmer Joe a 100 milliwatt UHF transmitter so he can check the farm channel.

    I'm sure giving untrained people high powered broadcast equipment that requires FCC licensing a good idea. Yup...

  10. Re:Dude, try a T221 from IBM on Samsung LTM295W 29" LCD Review · · Score: 1

    I thought a film (as in actual chemical film goodness) only ran at 30 or so FPS?

  11. Re:Man! on Fast TCP To Increase Speed Of File Transfers? · · Score: 0, Troll

    But withotu error checking it would prolly have been a frost pist

  13. Re:And the parrot is for... on BSA Creates Piracy Statistics · · Score: 1

    Audio piracy.

  14. Re:Cool Idea on After-School Hacking Special · · Score: 1

    MOST schools have the weakest network security around (I've had that discussion here several times before) but do you think a school with a program like that is going to have stupid network admins like almost all the other schools?

  15. Psh on Violent Video Game Restriction Struck Down · · Score: 1

    When I was growing up I played old NES games constantly, and you don't see me jumping onto fat kids heads, making alien life forms extinct, (which is more than corporate america can say) or shooting ducks. well, there was that time at the skatepark... then at summer camp... But, regardless, I've never shot a duck!

  16. Re:24 hours? on SETI Goes to Arecibo To Stat *Candidates* · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yea, I read that right after I posted. At least I'm normal for a slashdotter. ;P

  17. 24 hours? on SETI Goes to Arecibo To Stat *Candidates* · · Score: 0

    they sound like geeks, I wonder how much $FAVORITE_CAFFINE_PRODUCT they used over that time.

  18. Re:Hooray for software patents! :-) on Online Auction Industry In A State Of Limbo · · Score: 1

    Don't forget "Over the internet"

    The patent clerks might not all understand "online"

  19. Re:Good or bad? on Application Layer Packet Shaping on Linux · · Score: 1

    yea, I just load up IE and hit C:\command.com in the address bar to get into the shell. Don't even need to create a batch file.

  20. Re:Good or bad? on Application Layer Packet Shaping on Linux · · Score: 1

    From personal experience, people who run school networks are twits. I explained to the systems admin at my school that their netware restrictions on the startbar and hotkeys were totally ineffective becuase she left IE able to access local drives, and she stared at me blankly, so I doubt they would be running linux in the first place let alone know how to configure advanced packet filters. (this is at a public school btw, I'm still too young to be at uni =P)

    On an upnote, I have been playing tetris on my shell account at sdf.lonestar.org when I was done with my work ever since =P

    That really sounds like the web browser! Those mozilla guys really should think about suing these name squatters.

  23. Re:RTFA! on Broadband Barrage Balloons · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Could I have been *gasp* joking? The first mod was dead on with the +1 funny, don't blame me for the idiot that hit insightful.
