  9. Re:How? on Company to Settle and Mine Mars · · Score: 2, Funny

    Rumour has it that a little known company, Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC), is also funding the project! Even then Budget was too minimal, so HTSC (harsh terrain survival kits) and duct tape were cut off the budget.

  10. Re:Looks good... on Prototype Rollable Paper-like Display Ready Early · · Score: 2, Funny

    Impossible, MS's technology isn't compatible with this device, how could you possibly display the BSOD in grayscale!

    "This project was featured on 8/3/05 on toms hardware's "how to" section."

    This is reminding me of the whole internet boom, except with way less invested.

    According to Alystair, this has to be the smallest write-up on Slashdot that he has have ever seen.

  16. One of my best movie experiences on Piracy Not To Blame In Decline of Moviegoers · · Score: 1

    One of my best movie experiences was going to see the movie Kung Fu Hustle at a theatre. Why? Well, when I got there, there was no one else in the the place. None, ziltch, zero, nil. I grinned to myself with a hearty laugh and put up my feet, and enjoyed the show immensely.

    http://talk.google.com/ is now working and the program is ready for download!
      If your using Linux, BSD or OSX, etc... Just get an IM client that works with the Jabber network.

    Cheers!

  19. Re:Getting around the "Not Allowed" message on Google Talk Available Early · · Score: 1

  24. Re:I've been looking for a good case. on High-End Aluminum PC Cases Make A Comeback · · Score: 1

    Hey, or you could do like me and actually purchase a G5-Case, gut it out and put in some standard hardware. Sooner or later you won't even need to do the gutting bit! I'm almost finished too, and it will look fantastic. Just waiting on a new PSU because even though it's sponsored I can't trust the Ultra PSU: Link to my almost finished case Trippy G5 case mod (Go AMD!)
