  1. Re:Brenthaven on Recommendations For A Good Laptop Bag? · · Score: 1

    I have the Brenthaven laptop backpack, and I love it. It has three compartments, one for pens/pencils/etc, one for the laptop itself, and a third for books and the like. It is fairly stylish and, being as it is a backpack, distributes the weight accross both shoulders rather than only one.

  2. Re:Duh! on MySQL & Open Source Code Quality · · Score: 1
  3. I'd like to on What Has Number Portability Done For You? · · Score: 1

    I've been using Sprint for a couple years and coverage where I am (rochester, ny), is spotty at best. I have been thinking about switching to Verizon, but I have yet to speak with anyone who has actually switched carriers. I see Radio Shack ads that say that I can simply bring in my bill and pick a carrier/phone and I'm set. Can it really be this simple? How can I do it and avoid RadioShack?

  4. Well Gee on Wardriver Charged with Theft of Communications · · Score: 4, Funny

    You'd think he would be more careful. Driving the wrong way up a one way street, no pants, whacking off to kiddie porn? This guy was asking for it!

  5. Re:CTRL-R on Retooling Slashdot with Web Standards · · Score: 4, Funny

    though, if you read the article, you'd know that the design is exactly the same, except the old HTML 3.2 was replaced with standards-compliant CSS.

    Then again, this is slashdot, and we don't read articles.

  6. uh on RIAA Threatens 15-Year-Old · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You make it sound like she wasn't doing anything wrong. If she is sharing 1100 songs that SHE DID NOT PAY FOR, then she is stealing from them. Yes, this is an unpopular view here, but I mean come on, if instead of $165M worth of copyright infringement, she had just one picture of a 15 year old boy in a sexual position, would you all defend her?

    Jesus christ. She is BREAKING THE LAW. Why shouldn't she be punished?

  7. Re:Use AOL? Are you nuts? on How to Handle an Internet Outage · · Score: 3, Informative

    Perhaps you should have read the article.

    10. Use Your Emergency AOL Disk
    If you find that your connection to the Internet is going to be longer than you can possibly stand, as a last resort, pull out an emergency AOL CD, the one with 910 free hours of connection to the AOL service. Take the CD in one hand...and slash it across your wrist! Suicide will probably be a better alternative than connecting to that service.

    This article is satire. You must be one of the people referred to in Step 8.

    I know i'm replying to flamebait, but still.
    Bill Gates has ~50B USD, Microsoft has a market cap of about 282B USD

  9. IBook + System Load + Battery Life on Panther Problem Roundup · · Score: 2, Informative

    Since ive installed 10.3, ive noticed my system load hovers around 2.7 and my battery life seems far reduced. In 10.2 my load was always close to 0, and my battery lasted 5 hours atleast. Now I'm lucky to get 2.5 hours.

    No major changes other than the OS upgrade have been preformed.

    Anyone else notice their battery life drop?

  10. Series 2 on Book Review: Hacking TiVo · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Does it go into hacking the Series 2 TiVo? I'm sick of reading about all these obsolete series 1 hack methods.

    I'd just like to get bash working on my Series 2 stand-alone with minimal effort.

  11. Too bad on Where is the Any Key? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    that the world still cant spell the word 'the'

  12. What i'd rather see on Separate Cargo and Personnel Missions for NASA? · · Score: 1

    I'd rather see vehicles that could fly back from the space station and return from earth under their own power, perhaps with a reusable fuel source like jet fuel and a scram engine. I imagine it would also need thrusters for space travel and a booster of some sort.

    Someone needs to invent impulse drive.

  13. Re:Oh, the irony of it.... on Ernie Ball - Model For Open-Source Transition? · · Score: 1

    You do realize that a simple firewall completely protects you from Blaster, right?

  14. Re:Uh on Japan's Proposed 30-Year Robot Program · · Score: 1

    Yea, I'd rather spend $7.5B colonizing the moon then I would on a robot.

  15. Uh on Japan's Proposed 30-Year Robot Program · · Score: 2, Funny

    Perhaps instead, the US government should stop cutting funds allocated to education and "liberating" oil-producing countires.

    Lets worry about the robots after we figure out how to pay back our debt.

  17. Re:Great on FCC Lifts AOL IM Limits · · Score: 1

    Well, I supose one could always hope for voice/video support. If enough people want it, it will eventually get implemented.

  18. Re:Huh on FCC Lifts AOL IM Limits · · Score: 1

    Of course they won't. It will be peer-to-peer just like all the other AIM "features" like file sharing and voice chat. All AIM is is a medium for these 'features'.

  19. Re:Great on FCC Lifts AOL IM Limits · · Score: 1

    Though, it wasn't written by AOL.

  20. Re:Great on FCC Lifts AOL IM Limits · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm more interested in them adding support for it into the existing network so that projects like Gaim, which IS cross platform, can clone it. Also, if it becomes compatible with iChat A/V, that'd be super.

  21. Re:Great on FCC Lifts AOL IM Limits · · Score: 4, Interesting

    But, if they implement it into their network, it can be cloned more or less as eaisly as the AIM service itself was cloned. Imagine, a conversation with your girlfriend's iChat A/V from your linux box with Gaim.

  22. Great on FCC Lifts AOL IM Limits · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Good, hopefully AOL will make a decent cross-platform video/audio instant message system.

  25. oh yeah? on Microsoft wants Automatic Update for Windows · · Score: 5, Funny

    Of course, this will be implemented in such a way that implantinga fake RR for windowsupdate.microsoft.com into a local name serverallows Windows to download and run any file with a certian file name. This should make it far eaiser to fool Windows Update into installing Linux.
    This will make Linux rollouts a breeze after buying all those Dells.

    Imagine the possibilities!

    Then again, the Microsoft Tax is cheaper then the SCO tax.
