  1. Hoo Hoo I invented Internet Radio, tell em Fred. on Howard Stern Coming To the Net · · Score: 2, Informative

    XM has been offering this for years now for $7.95.

  2. Re:Amazon Link on Best Software Writing I · · Score: 1

    Some people prefer the dead tree version. I know it's difficult to comprehend not wanting to stare at a screen all day.

  3. Who cares? on Opera CEO Prepares to Swim across the Atlantic · · Score: 1

    When did software companies need resort to wacky radio bits to sell its product?

    I heard if Sirrus gets a million subscribers Howard Stern is actually going to start doing a radio show again. WOOF WOOF!

  4. The Letter V on Verizon CEO Calls Municipal Wi-Fi 'a Dumb Idea' · · Score: 5, Funny

    "If Municipal WiFi is adopted the Terrorists Win." - Verizon CEO

    This Message brought to by Verizon Wireless. Talk to friends and family for free*

    * Fees apply.

  5. Re:Wal-Mart and IKEA on Hole Drilled to Bottom of Earth's Crust · · Score: 1

    Right after Virgin creates the "Enter the Mantle" Ride. For $10,000 USD you can see almost near the end of the crust.

  6. HTTP 1.1 Flawed Also on CSS Support Could Be IE7's Weakest Link · · Score: 1

    How about fixing persistant connections? HTTP 1.1 is probably also flawed, so you shouldn't fix that, right Microsoft?

  7. Geniuses at Google on Google Goes to Answers.com · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Wasn't Google invented as a tool to search through books?

    Why don't they just add 1 book called the dictionary to their own site to solve the problem?

  8. Hoo Hoo on XM and Sirius Merger? · · Score: 1

    "I invented the satellite radio merger Robin." - Howard Stern

  9. Re:Opie and Anthony on FCC Indecency Rules Don't Apply to Satellite Radio · · Score: 1

    At least Conner Peterson thinks its great.

  10. Re:Eight maids-a-milking on 12 Christmas Gifts Not To Buy Online · · Score: 1

    Russian Mail Order Maids-a-milking are way cheaper. Though, you would have to marry all 8 of them.

  11. Images Index Old on Google Censors Abu Ghraib Images [updated] · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I've found the Google Image Index to be quite old. For instance if you type in 'world series', you get images of 2002 and before. The Red Sox are stilled cursed.

    I think it's possible that no images have been indexed of the prisoners over the sensoring theory.

    Type in 'abu ghraib images' in the Web search and the first page that comes up is detailed images of the abuse.

  12. Gigli? on Doom Movie in Production For Aug 2005 Release · · Score: 1

    Why does the movie have the feeling that it will bomb worse then Gigli?

  13. Re:Seems a bit silly... on XM Radio Hacked by Car Computer Hobbyists · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You can record though. That's like saying who would buy cable and a tv if you can't record.

    All you need is any of the units and a tape deck instead of a vcr, or you could output it to your computer, or anything else that accepts audio input.

  14. Could be More Gooder on Review of Team America World Police · · Score: 1

    If you are a fan of South Park you've probably already heard variations of almost all the jokes.

    I thought a lot of it was just being offensive to be offensive, but it didn't go far enough.

    The movie was impressive in terms of construction and the marionette, jokes were classic.

  15. Re:But will Stern fans follow him to satellite? on Stern Will Jump To Sirius In 2006 · · Score: 1

    XM just announced they are at 2.5 million, and should be at 3.15 million before the end of the year.

  16. Re:question about scheduling/time-shifting on Stern Will Jump To Sirius In 2006 · · Score: 2, Informative

    He will most likely do 6-10 in New York, and then have it just repeat 10-2 on the east coast which would be 7-11 on the west coast. This is what O&A is doing and it hits the morning drive in the biggest markets.

  17. Re:XM radio ad on Sterns homepage on Stern Will Jump To Sirius In 2006 · · Score: 1

    What about Infinity who paid for his show this morning which was just hours of him plugging Sirius radio?

    They can't possibly let this go on. I think he may be sitting out until January 1st, 2006, then again they may not be able to afford it.

  18. Re:Opie and Anthony already beat him to it :) on Stern Will Jump To Sirius In 2006 · · Score: 1

    O&A didn't want to go to Clear Channel to be backed into the same corner they were at Infinity. Infinity hasn't paid $1 in FCC fines for O&A, and the couple at St. Pat's were not found guilty of anything. Is the pressure from the Christian Right that makes corporations afraid.

    Oh, and didn't you listen to Howard. He was the first on Satellite Radio. If the king of radio says it, it must be true, right Robin. HOO HOO!

  19. Re:LJ - Memcached - Wikipedia on Large Scale Web Apps Built on Open Source · · Score: 2, Informative

    Slashdot also uses memcached.

  20. Re:Spin doesn't come in pairs of electrons? on IBM Tech Detects & Changes Spin of Single Electron · · Score: 2, Funny

    There are two sides to every Schwartz.

    "He's got the upside, I got the downside."

  21. Re:tech circles on It's Just the 'internet' Now? · · Score: 1

    Just as soon as '/.ers' gets added to the dictionary.

    I can just see it in a third grade spelling bee of the future...

    "Spell Slashdotters"
    "Back Slash.. NO"
    "I'm sorry, that's forward slash, dot, e, r, s"

  22. Re:As I have told my wife on Windows Accelerators - Do They Really Work? · · Score: 1

    What about those kiosk at malls that sell just 'As seen on TV...' stuff. :) I remember having an alkaline battery charger. It gave me about 5 minutes of power back, and a leaking battery about two days later ruining whatever device it was in.

  23. Re:ISDN IS NOT BROADBAND! on Does Your Company Pay For Broadband? · · Score: 1

    "That was changed in the last few years..."

    Where does it say ISDN is Broadband?

  24. Re:We all love canned meat on Can A Bounty System Cure Spam? · · Score: 1

    I think the regular user can't always distinguish the difference between spam and targetted advertising.

    I think most of the purchases through spam come about the same way people buy infomercial products. You see it, and then you think to yourself "Maybe I'm not pleasing her...", then you drop the $30 to see if it helps. Same reason I got one of those Alkaline Battery Charges that recharged them about 20%, and then made them start leaking a week later.

  25. Re:spammers rejoyce, I can no longer even report s on Unplugging Email To Combat Spam · · Score: 1

    "more ineligent servers", huh?

    "I'm not a super genius. Or are I?"
