  1. Re:How Long... on Hands-On With The Nokia N-Gage · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Actually i bet in a month or two after release there will be a side scroller variant that sucks really bad out for it:-p

    thats generally how it works... good major console/pc game...


    destroyed with a shitty handheld variant. Almsot makes you want to cry for all the fanboys that "must have it" and they are nothing alike:-p

  2. Well on Linux Most Attacked Server? · · Score: 1

    Being the best at something is good...


    What level of attacks is this mentioning, and on what scale though?


    Some random kick playing with rh8 sets up a quick and dirty server and it gets hacked, ther ya go...

  3. Re:Optimized on NVIDIA's New Pro Graphics Quadro FX 3000 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    optimized forwhatever looks better on paper:-p sigh, frustrating when deciding what to buy:-p

  4. in all honesty on Should ISPs Be The Little Man's Firewall? · · Score: 1

    the internet was built by geeks.
    Build by those who knew what they were doing.
    As such, how many geeks need the isp to act as a firewall?
    Answer: None
    Solution?
    Simply have the isp be a firewall for a limited number of ports(ie 135) that are generally only used for attacks
    For the poor geeks? Make it a one phone call affair to quote enquote dmz themself ahead of it, no hassle aside from initial firewall.
    Its not completely "open" still i suppose, but its not all geeks anymore either:-p

  5. Re:Stan Lee on The Rebirth of Comics · · Score: 1

    ahhh, here we go. This pretty much sums up what i was refering to not but you will see what i mean:-p

    Does anyone remember the late stanlee.net?

    Ah, such great expectations till it crashed:-p

  7. Hm... What else would it do... on Armageddon... in 2014. Almost. · · Score: 1

    I may be confused here, and i am buy no means an expert, but what type of effect aside from impact oculd this asteroid have?

    with a weight that high, passing that close to earth, how would it affect our tides due to the magnetic pull?br>
    i dont know about you, but it would suck to wake up and see a tsunami bearing down on me out the window....

    anyone with a greater background in this field give some clarification on the chances plz? I consider this somethign worth considering and havnt seen amention of it anywhere in here:-p

  8. Re:Leave that job on Learning to Say No in the Workplace? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Leave that job? Is that truly viable in the current job market right now? A friend of mine graduated with solid marks via comp sci from a decent school a year and a half ago. 40+ interviews later, he just started school back up to pad his resume more as he has not had anyone express interest on the east coast. Im not sure leaving what sounds to be a stable job in my opinoin would be prudent right now:-p In the 90s? Hell ya, but now?

  9. What I would do... on Learning to Say No in the Workplace? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Is simply lay out the time. Say, "Yes i will do it, once i have this done as well as this" No need to say no, just show them that for you to say yes will require them to wait for it to get done an unreasonable amount of time. They complain? Then you may get staffed correctly soon enough:-p

    Speaking of size of germans... I'm half German, half Polish (ox-moron I know) and I will say my Kilbasi lives up to expectations;-) *winkhintwink*

  14. Re:So... on What's Microsoft Up To? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Your missing the point completely of the post... Michael had like 5 or 6 stories, non dupes(to my knowledge) submitted, all about microsoft. He could have posted them all, and the front page would have been spammed with all ms posts, which would kind of suck you think? This post was just a way to get them all out at once, because they are all news-worthy, but not all at theexact same time. "There has been lots of news about MS in Slashodot" isnt the news, thats the reasoning for the combination post. Cudos to Michael

    Custers Revenged! Can you picture the lawsuits if they packeged that? For the uninformed, Custers Revenge is a game way back when that consisted of moving a cowboy across a deserst(the length of the screen) to ravage an indian woman tied to a cactus. We have come a long way since that was considered, "Mainstream" haven't we? lol

  22. wow on Mice Designed by Famous Anime Artists · · Score: 1, Redundant

    slashdotted before the first reply. This some kind of a record?

  23. That doesnt seem right... on PGP 8.0 Beta Released · · Score: 0, Redundant

    2 months till data is lost? Seems odd... Why would htey impliment such an item? would that not keep people from using it on the pure basis of, no matter how much they like it, having to change it to something elselater? Or... are they going to make it upgradeable to pgp 8.0 directly from the beta? That would seem to me(in my grosly uninformed ignorance...) to lead to all kinds of stability isues.... unless the upgrade did nothing but take out the lock out? again....
