  2. Re:Sounds promising... on Canadian Library to Loan Out People · · Score: 1

    You've better get ready to bone up on your STDs because everything else in that section has been checked out and "lost."

  4. Re:Related to the current poll ? on Exoplanet Has Showers of Pebbles · · Score: 3, Informative

    I believe that SI unit for temperature is kelvin. So 4220 degrees Fahrenheit is approximately 2600 degree Kelvin. Fixed it for you. No need to thank me.

  5. Re:whisky tango foxtrot on Congress Debates Anti-Spyware Bill · · Score: 1, Interesting


    One effective way to enforce this would be to render Windows illegal to use across the nation...


    It's not windows fault that there is spyware. It's idiots who buy products that are being advertised. If you stop buying penis enlargement pills, etc. Spam would stop.

    The same people who buy stuff from spam are the ones that buy everything from Wal-Mart. Then they go complaining that there are no livable wage jobs. Stupid people are part of the problem.

  6. It would never make it on The World's Most Devious Alarm Clock · · Score: 5, Funny

    My room has so much crap in the corners anyway, the thing would never make it. I can't even get to the corners of my room.

  7. AOL on WiMax Technology Could Blanket the US? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    AOL and MSN would fight this tooth and nail.

    Plus, could this handle millions of people connecting?

  8. Re:Oh well..... on TiVo Will Die · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The author is just trying to say that Tivo will become a commodity device like your VCR is now. PVR's soon are not going to be for the techno elite people like yourself but will be a cheap addtion to your setup boxes.

    With the FCC requiring digital broadcasts in the next few year all your pvr needs is a cheap processor, HD controller, mpeg2 decoder chip, and some software. Tivo niche could be providing the software for these new set top boxes.

  9. Re:Combat robots on The ROBOlympic Games · · Score: 3, Interesting
    While at home, you could have such a robot feed the dog, clean the house, watch the kids....etc.

    Does anyone else just find this frightening. I'm mean the TV does enough to baysit kids, but to just drop off kids with the robot. What is wrong with you man?
  10. Re:Don't go the way of Nintendo!!! on Xbox 2 Controller Loses Two Buttons, PS3 Gains One? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Nintendo Controllers have gotten better with time. Just becuase they look funny doesn't mean the feel and play great.

  11. Re:wow on Microsoft's Mac Business Unit · · Score: 1

    In an employee video shown at an event last year, they recounted with pride such tales as the colleague who broke up with a girlfriend who bought a Windows PC.

    They must be slashdotters. Very sad, very sad indeed.

  12. Why... on Build Your Own PVR · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why is this article on Slashdot. He didn't even use linux for it. And he PAID for software to do what he wanted, a true nerd who have programmed it himself.

    Can we mod a whole story down?

  13. Re:Secret Service on FBI Conducts Raids Over Half-Life 2 Source Theft · · Score: 1
    Please replace 'religious' with 'Christian. I am technically religious, but my religion does not discriminate against people based on sexuality.
    Do not put just one religion on trial here. Correctly state that pretty much all western monotheistic religions condemn homosexuality. Most condemnations on homosexuality occur in the old testament of the bible, which is most of the jewish holy texts.

    When you call yourself religious do you mean to say that you are spiritual? Because religious implies that you subscribe to one of the major religions.
  14. Wouldn't it be cheaper on Largest Citywide Wi-Fi Deployment · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Wouldn't it be cheaper in the long run to run their own fiber to each and every home, and some to the central office at the phone company. Then put up wireless base stations in public places like parks. Then when they broadband hunger public wants more speed they would not have to redo their entire infastructure.

  16. The Only... on Is Linux as Secure as We'd Like to Think? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The only real way to secure a computer is to pull the power plug out of the wall. If you spent time mantaining your computer, keeping it up to date, and you know what you are doing their is little chance that you will have major problems. Anybody who puts a linux system on their network and doesn't update it is likly to have their system exploited.

  22. Theo de Raadt on Justifying the Common Criteria Security Evaluation · · Score: 1

    The only way Microsoft(C) can get a secure OS is to throw ton of money at Theo de Raadt or somebody with his mind set to run a team to continually check Windows code for security problems.

  23. Games on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 1

    Games are the driving factor for high end PC development. The Game indusry is the reason the new Intel Chips are a big deal.
    Windows runs the most games and it has the highest amount of commerical games released on it.

    If you guys want to get off of Windows(C) forever start to play board games. I Recommend "The Settles of Catan" it's an awesome game or just go play Risk.

  24. I Know on Gaming Goodness · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I know why you never hear about in other Half-Life mods.

    First their are not that many people playing anything but counter strike. If nobody is then no one is going to play by themselves.

    Two People are sheep if everyone was still playing wolfenstein every one would be bragging about it.

    That's my two cents.

    Bristoe, a 42year-old electrician and mechanic from Ellettsville, estimates his cannon's range at about five miles.

    We only live 5 miles from the border between Canada and the USA. The drug dealer in my city should get one of those. Then they can drive along shooting their product over the border.
