  1. Re:The letter X on Phoenix To Change Name · · Score: 1

    lmao. How about Poenix or Poenis?

  2. Suggestions... on Phoenix To Change Name · · Score: 1

    How about 'Gamera' or 'Mothra'? BTW, does anyone else here pronounce Mozilla "MOT-ZILLA"? I always thought it was a cross between mozzarella and Godzilla, so it made sense, but whenever I talk to people, they always say "Moh-zilla". Urgh.

  3. Re:tabbed browsing still "broken" on Mozilla 1.2 Unleashed · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that would be a nice feature, although right now you can set it up so that middle-click opens a link in another tab. This coupled with background-loading of new links is a great feature I can no longer do without.

  4. Re:Why they chose Palm OS on Real PDA Wristwatch · · Score: 2, Funny

    Also, Wrist OS was not yet available.

  5. Re:I was "THAT guy" on Real PDA Wristwatch · · Score: 1

    Hey, I had a calculator watch as well, but it broke one day for some reason.

    Later I won a crazy water-powered watch. The only problem was that I had to regularly let the thing soak up water under a nearby water fountain else it would fade and die and I'd have to set the time again. I remember having to sneak inside during recess just to resuscitate it.

  6. Re:That's nothing.. on Using Your Own Name May Be Infringement, Part 2 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    And then you started the Disney corporation?

  7. Re:And the winner is.. on Using Your Own Name May Be Infringement, Part 2 · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Yes, but Bill Wyman is going to lose.

  8. Re:No . . . on Accelerated nVidia Drivers for FreeBSD · · Score: 1

    LMAO. I'm going to have to write that one down.

  9. Hello from the past! on SQL Fundamentals · · Score: 1

    I just wanted to say hello to all the people linking from the future! HELLO!

  10. Re:How about a Channel for the 80s kid? on ADV Confirms Cable Anime Channel · · Score: 1

    "Transformers, as we know it, is in the same catagory as Robotech, Pokemon, and (to a much lesser extent) Dragonball--Americanized Anime. As i have no idea what the original was like, I have no way to tell if it's closer to Pokemon (almost no edits) or Robotech (highly revised)."

    Wasn't Transformers (the toys) just a mix of various toys from Japan brought to the U.S.? I believe they weren't all related and that there wasn't even an original Japanese version of the TV show. It was just created for the North American audience, unlike Robotech, which was converted from its original form FOR a NA audience. Also, the show came after the toys, didn't it? No matter how much we liked it, it was basically a commercial.

  11. Re:I would actually buy CDs!!! on Copy Protection On CDs Is 'Worthless' · · Score: 1, Funny

    Judging by his username, I'm thinking he's got a Chrysler that's as a big as a whale (and it's about to set sail!).

  12. Re:Dont forget. on Doom Ported to Nokia phone · · Score: 1

    Ah, okay, that explains it. Does this mean then that I can make a new game and use everything from the original shareware WADs in any way I see fit? I mean, can I write, say, a snowboarding game but using all the sprites from the WADs? If so, that is really cool stuff.

  13. Re:Dont forget. on Doom Ported to Nokia phone · · Score: 1

    Yes, but it looks like they're supplying the WAD file data. It is the shareware WAD, but is that still allowed? I'm assuming the binary data that makes up the game levels, shareware or full-version, are not open-sourced.

  14. Re:Why? on 4th Annual NetHack Tournament · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    3 posts and already /.'d. *sigh* People need faster connections.

    Why? So we can slashdot sites even faster?
  15. Crippled CDs? on Gartner Survey: Consumers Don't Want Crippled CDs · · Score: 5, Funny

    Please.

    They prefer to be called "digitally challenged" CDs.

    Thank you.

  16. Re:I've been to that presentation on Windows XP Tablet PC Edition · · Score: 1

    Somebody demoed one of these Tablet PCs at my work and what really impressed me was the fact that, yes, the handwriting recognition was good, but also that you could search what you wrote. It's such a simple feature, but extremely useful. I like writing with pen in a pad to keep notes because it allows me to draw arrows and structure text in ways that I cannot do with notepad.exe or a word-processor. However, the downside with the pen and paper is that I cannot search through my notes easily without having to skim through each page. With a Tablet PC, I could still write in the same way, but then later be able to search through it all. That, to me, is a great feature.

  17. Re:Adventure? on Flash Version of Adventure · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yeah, I thought it was that Adventure as well. At least we have the 404 Error version of Zork.

  18. Very nice, but... on Flash Version of Adventure · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm still waiting for Doom 2600.

  19. Re:Or you could just... on Xandros 1.0 · · Score: 1

    "What Linux distro should I use if I have an abnormally huge penis?"

    MANdrake or SLACKware would be my guess.

  20. Macgyver on Ask 'Junkyard Wars Diva' Cathy Rogers · · Score: 1

    Did you guys ever consider Richard Dean Anderson as a co-host? I'm sure he's looking for work these days. Or is that Stargate show still on. (Sorry, don't watch much TV.)

  21. Re:hmm... on Ask 'Junkyard Wars Diva' Cathy Rogers · · Score: 1

    Woah, I never realized she was in Marine Research and Heavenly until now. Thanks for the revelation!

    Also, I found this recent interview off usenet.

    As opposed to a good one?

  24. Good idea on Camcorder Jamming Devices Announced · · Score: 1

    This actually sounds like a good idea to me. What I find most interesting is that they can control the disruptive patterns generated. Can they put any arbitrary image in the pattern? If so, the MPAA should contact the goatse.cx guy immediately!

  25. Same old... on FCC Approves Digital Radio, Kills Satellite Merger · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is all well and good, but the DJ is still gonna talk over the start and ends of the song, thereby fucking up your nice digital recording.
