  1. Re:Enough is Enough on 60GB iPod Coming? · · Score: 1

    I just keep it in the hardcover sleave it came with (20 gig). I cut one of my pda screen protectors into a small square to fit over the ipod screen too, after seeing how scratched up my brother's got after spending 3 months in his pocket. Mine is scratchless, nearly perfect, even after 6 months of being with me all the time.

  2. Re:Bugatti simulator on The Bugatti Veyron · · Score: 1

    Gran Turismo is a much better driving simulator, especially when it comes to car physics. Maybe the next version will have this car.

  3. Re:Congratulations on iPod Mini Hits The 'Sweet Spot'? · · Score: 2, Troll

    Teenaged girls like the fruity colors and chic design and will pay for it even at less storage.

    Geeks like the extra space and actually do the memory per dollar math.

  4. Teamspeak on Online Gaming for Couples? · · Score: 1

    For pc games, use Teamspeak. You can play whatever game you want online and talk through a sepparate client.

  5. Re:Yumm on Glowing Fish are First Genetically Engineered Pets · · Score: 1

    from the glofish faq:

    What if a fluorescent zebra fish is eaten?

    Eating a fluorescent zebra fish is the same as eating any other zebra fish. Their fluorescence is derived from a naturally occurring gene and is completely safe for the environment. Just as eating a blue fish would not turn a predator blue, eating a fluorescent fish would not make a predator fluoresce.

    So i guess it depends on if regular zebra fish are poisonous to humans

  6. Re:The President... on Steve Jobs And Jeff Bezos Meet The Segway · · Score: 5, Informative

    you probably saw this

  7. well on Mementos as Document Retrieval Keys · · Score: 5, Funny

    If ten years ago someone told me that in the year 2003 i would be using a seashell to retrieve data i would tell that person that he is fscking stupid.

  8. Re:Anime vs Sports on Want Anime Network on Your Cable System? · · Score: 1

    until recently when anime started entering the mainstream in the US it had an almost entirely geek fanbase.

    Just because the fanbase was only geeks doesn't mean that all geeks like anime.

  9. robotic juicers? on Slashback: Nerves, Unis, Subtitles · · Score: 5, Funny

    May I be the first to point you to this penny arcade strip on the topic: Penny Arcade

  10. My neighbor had a potato bazooka on Potato Bazookas · · Score: 1

    Before I moved I had a neighbor who had one of these. It was crudely made from some thick white pipes and duct tape. Anyway, he fired it at the fence we shared and eventually blew a hole through it. Right, well, are they thinking potato bazooka's are new? Because i remember getting the fence rebuilt in 1992, so it is a fairly old invention.

  11. Re:Mopeds? on Segway Banned In San Francisco · · Score: 1

    i posted too soon but my point was that mopeds and segways are very different machines and generally neither could replace the other

  12. Re:Mopeds? on Segway Banned In San Francisco · · Score: 1

    mopeds are capable of speeds above 35mph, they are street vehicles, not for sidewalk commuting.
    Segways go about 8mph and with specials keys can max out to about 15, a slower than a bike, faster than walking, they would be suitable for sidewalk use but difinitely not for street use.

  13. well, on Microsoft's Worst Enemy: Themselves · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, this proves it. Microsoft is everyone's worst enemy

  14. Re:A Simple Solution on EverQuest: What You Really Get From an Online Game · · Score: 1

    But after they die in death mode, you could have some sort of reincarntation that allows you to keep some of the special powers or skills or whatever from the last game...

    This would screw up the idea to discourage addicts but I don't think that any game companies would want to discourage their customers from using their products.

  15. well on Company Christmas Gifts / Bonuses? · · Score: 1

    i got a pretty sweet bonus, a crappy t-shirt, and, believe it or not, some sort of Kenny g christmas collection cd (dunno, i haven't opened it yet). If i were the author i would rent a shotgun and get some bobble-head exploding satisfaction. Maybe i will use my bonus to get a few bobble-heads in the likeness of my boss...

  16. AAAH!!! on Spammer Gets Spam Mailed · · Score: 1

    The slashddot editors are spamming us with the same article over and over again!!!

  17. ugh on Ultima 7 in Windows? · · Score: 1

    Yes, i know he did something cool by emulating a great classic game, but really, i immediately hate every site that plays music when i go to their page.

  18. Re:Sounds rather interesting on Living with Darth Vader · · Score: 1

    Actually, the game will be set many years before any of the star wars movies, so not at all.

  19. Re:Metroid Prime on Gamecube Finally Plays GBA Games · · Score: 1

    yes i also got metroid prime today and was increadibly pleased with the fact that it wasn't another crappy console first person shooter. i can barely believe that it holds true to its metroid roots (the first game i ever played on a console). It's one of the best games ever, console or pc, in every area.

  20. wait a minute... on State Coalition Approves Internet Sales Tax Plan · · Score: 1, Funny

    I thought they already did that.....dammit pointytricorneredhats.com, you owe me 5 dollars!

  21. alright! on Doom Ported to Nokia phone · · Score: 1

    But can it play quake?

  22. neato on The All-Red Route 100 Years On · · Score: 1

    so now do they use it as an all-britain lan party? i hope they can play quake.

  23. Re:... and you poke at it... on India Officially Launches Simputer · · Score: 1

    well they should have put that in the faq too!

  24. Re:Ease of use on The Very Verbose Debian 3.0 Installation Walkthrough · · Score: 4, Insightful

    dumb itself down

    not so much dumb itself down but at least make a more intuitive interface, and i'm not just talking about the instalation. If they want less-than-ubergeeks to use it then they whole thing should be reworked.

  25. Well, on Studios, RIAA Warn CEOs On File Trading · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Since you stole their toys (software), their going to tell your mommy(boss) on you. The only thing that is different about this than little kids is that you aren't sopposed to share.
