  1. Tivo online? on Tivo 2 Features On the Horizon · · Score: 1

    So how long before a Nimda style virus hits Tivo 2 units everywhere and sets it to record 30 hours of informercials for you?

    The funniest part of the Nimda outbreak was that a certain printer with an html interface was infected at a college. Thankfully powering it off reset the html code ;)

  2. Re:Umm... you have it backwards. on 50 Year Old Computer Still Going · · Score: 1

    I still have working 40M, 80M, 120M, and other slightly larger assorded IDE drives. They're not in use but when I cleaned out my closet I tested to make sure they worked & threw out the bad ones. I have no clue why I'm holding on to them.

  3. Re:Hardware Quality on 50 Year Old Computer Still Going · · Score: 1

    Damn I had to throw away a whole box of those 360K floppies because nobody bid on them on EBay (even for $1). I would have given them away for shipping cost.

  4. Yeah and on Keyboarding Love Or Keyboarding Pain · · Score: 2, Funny

    It also works well for beating the hell out of any key to continue. I think one of those pictures looks like a rat attacking a hand.

    HAHAHA. I just realized our names. WetCat and Cat_Byte. Cat fight!!! ;)

    Umm...in which part of my message did I say it was? I'm saying it's a bad day for space flight.

  7. ouch on Uprated "10-ton" Ariane 5 Fails · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That's the fifth failure in 14 launches for them and it comes at the same time Russia is stating it can't fulfill all of it's missions to the ISS. Or is it that the Russian missions won't fulfill the ISS?

  8. This can be easily reproduced at home on Tornado in a Can · · Score: 1

    1) Eat beans for a week. 2) Go to the can. 3) Light match Instant tornado in a can!

  9. Re:Real money theft on Project Entropia's Universe Solidifies · · Score: -1

    The guy chasing you from the sandwich shop may say so.

  10. Real money theft on Project Entropia's Universe Solidifies · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Wow..and people were doing drive by shootings and other acts of violence in Japanese internet cafes over EQ. Imagine what it will be like when someone takes items worth $100+ in real money.

  11. Re:Results are in! on Human vs Computer Intelligence · · Score: 0

    A plow is for farming. You pull it behind a tractor to...well...um...plow the dirt. Goddamn non-American-non-plow-knowing-slashdotters ;)

  12. Re:Non-issue. on Human vs Computer Intelligence · · Score: 0

    Yeah but they got the 97% from a poll sent in the mail in this format: Can you read? [ ] Yes [ ] No The other 3% were dyslexic.

  13. Re:Mods on crack? on Dark Fiber: A Case In Point · · Score: 0

    Mods are rating about 50% + incorrectly tonight for some reason. I see on topic stuff as troll, jokes as informative, flames as informative...WTF?

  14. regulation on Web of Trust Audio News Distribution · · Score: 0

    Couldn't they regulate transmission with licenses that could be revoked in the same way ham radio operators work? That should keep the Beavis & Butthead operators from filling the net-waves with "huhuhuh. heheheeheheheh"

  15. Re:Yankees vs Texas Rangers??? on Reviving Ricochet: Better Than WiFi? · · Score: 0

    Will someone please fix my mod here. I quoted the article and stated it would be better in my area. Now my very first mod makes me a troll. *grr* Karma Bad :(

  16. Re:Yankees vs Texas Rangers??? on Reviving Ricochet: Better Than WiFi? · · Score: 0

    TROLL??? I actually comment on something out of the article that I actually READ and state I'd like it based on current prices in my area and it's a troll????

  17. Yankees vs Texas Rangers??? on Reviving Ricochet: Better Than WiFi? · · Score: -1, Troll

    He just HAD to throw something in there about my Rangers in the article. I'd subscribe to something like this if it were available in my suburbia part of Austin. I don't even have access to DSL. You would't BELIEVE what ISPs charge for ISDN these days. $150 for 128K??? I'll stick with my $19.99 64K channel thank you.

  18. "antennae to extend you connection" on Slashback: Pliancy, Antennae, Gobe · · Score: 0

    All you connection are belong to us.

  19. Better than a catapault to the head. on An Unbiased Analysis of Gun Crime vs. Gun Control? · · Score: 1

    I'd much rather be shot than have a catapault or some other pre-gun weapon fired at me like at the beginning of Gladiator. Bullet = quick Flaming rocks, flying spears, rusty swords = OUCH. Matches cause arson btw.
