  1. Damn you, SONY! on Sony Ericsson Announces First Walkman Phone · · Score: 1

    This is the first time I've ever envied a phone that wasn't motorola. I have a Moto v80 (stellar phone) and am positively drooling over pictures of this thing. I don't even care that it probably uses a memory stick... hopefully Moto's iTunes phone won't only be that horrid green thing we've seen posted around.. maybe even get SD card support! That would be so kick-ass.

    ok... I guess I'm not the only one who felt it would be funny to flesh out a D&D joke or two.

    But I won't. It's just not funny

  4. Re:Why is this in the Apple section? on MythTV 0.17 Released · · Score: 1

    Everyone bsically gets a boner for Mac Minis in a home theatre setu pfor some reason.

    I think it's wayyyyy overpriced if that's all you're going to use it for.

    But then again, I'm one of the ones who would get a boner from seeing the mac mini in the HT setup.

  6. Re:Formula on Google Formula For Adding New Products · · Score: 4, Funny

    Services synergy:

    Imagine, You go to Google Maps and type in your address, then press "I'm feeling lucky".

    It then uses Google Local to find the nearest (m/h)otel, then uses Froogle to figure out which one is the cheapest (considering distance and gas mileage). Hell it can even find reviews on usenet using Google Groups

    Then it books the motel room for your lucky night.

    Hm... this is Slashdot. Back it up a bit...

    Pushing "I'm feeling lucky" will map out to the nearest, um, "independent escort service" using the same tools/methods as mentioned above. :)

  7. First things first on Revenge for the Foil Apartment? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the first thing i'dve done was not post to a news source that is read by hundreds of thousands of geeks per day.

  11. Re:wow, that is saying a lot on Mitch Kapor Warns Against Firefox Gloating · · Score: 1

    For moderators who don't like the TV show, Friends:
    Besides the poorly-written, long-running, overly-syndicated, abomination of a TV show that features a self-serving, insecure, superficial, lazy male lead character who's biggest claim to fame is a simple on-liner of, "Could I be any more [fill in the blank]?"
    Nothing. There is nothing else not to like.

    And for the moderators who do like the TV show, Friends:

    As someone who works helpdesk...

    You, sir, are completely wrong :)

    Users HAVE NO CLUE where they put their files... ever.

    Now whether or not a search tool will help them find the files they save is another question...

  16. This is terrible! on Severe Everquest 2 Downtime Over the Weekend · · Score: 2, Funny

    What do you expect these guys to do while they can't play EverCrack? Go outside? Read a book (besides guidebooks for EQ)?

    This is simply unacceptable from a MMORPG. Shocking, really. I hope someone gets fired.

    Can it bypass the menus and be configured to just play the movie when you select it, without having to guess what button will play the bloody thing?
    Have you ever seen Zoolander on DVD?
    I'm male supermodel, Derek Zoolander, and I'm here to welcome you to the wonderful world of divid. So, are you ready to push some buttons? ...And I don't mean that in the stereotypical manipulative sense. The first button is "PLAY" -- this starts the movie. I know what you're thinking! It's a movie, not a play. But these buttons were made in the old days, when plays were movies.
