  1. Re:How do ads like these work? on Bonzi Class Action Suit Settled: No Foolin'! · · Score: 1

    Actually, contrary to most beliefs, this was first seen on South Park in the first episode with the Underwear Gnomes. Although I prefer KDE...

  2. Re:They should really swap to IPV6 then.. on Asia Running Out Of IP Addresses · · Score: 1

    Can you draw me a picture?

  3. Klink? on Do You Know UNIX Secrets? · · Score: 3, Funny

    "I know nothing... nothing!"

  4. Re:How in the ... ?! on Blender Gets Audio Sequencing · · Score: 1

    On my site, reblended.com/tutorials. Or just google for it.

  5. Interface circa 1992? on Gameboy Advance Users to Get Bluetooth Internet · · Score: 1

    The interface sucks. It looks like something from the earlie nineties internet. Cyan is sooooooo 1992!

  6. Re:Applaude for 2 reasons on Xine Gets Native Sorenson3 Decoding · · Score: 1, Funny

    You don't even deserve a reply. Next time you feel like saying something smartass-racist just shut the hell up and get over it. Color doesn't matter. Do you have a small penis? I thought so...

  7. Re:petawatt may sound good ... on World's Most Powerful Laser · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Are you the kind of person who always lectures people about how they shouldn't use thier lawnmowers because there is a war going on?

    The energy used in this laser, as you said used "in a very short burst", would power a city, although just for a few milliseconds. Multiply that by the thousands of people in the city and you may not even have enough electricity to run my webserver for ten seconds (slashdotted or not). Warm those without roofs? What powers the sun? And what are the researchers trying to produce? Fusion. And what does the sun do? Even if you are an idiot the answer is warm us. So the researchers are investing money and power to hopefully make large advances in WARMING THE ROOF-LESS.

    Have you ever read the artical? Ever?

  8. 500 channels? on Sony's Memory Stick TV Tuner at CeBit · · Score: 3, Funny

    So does this mean my satelite phone would get tons of channels? "Ted, my phone doesn't work. Can you fix it? They're all speaking Japanese!"

  9. Seen it. on Sony Vaio GT3/K: You Spilled Your Laptop on my Camcorder · · Score: 1

    I saw this about a whole year ago. Granted, it was only a prototype, but this is just the kind of stupid hyper-commercialism that I hate to see on slashdot. I'm sure that the poster was very excited that he can edit video right on his camera, skipping the dreaded thirty-second transfer, but I do not get why I am reading about this here. Take a note from Scientific American, Slashdot! Post creative articles that are thought-provoking, not the same old "product plus a product gets smaller" or "pocket-sized product, is it worth it?". Give me a break. I actually read the article - I wish I didn't. Now I wasted a whole thirty-seconds that I could have been using to transfer video.

  10. PHP includes? on SBC Getting Aggressive With Frames Patent · · Score: 1

    I see frames used all the time for navigation and other things that need to be referenced from an outside file. Why not go with php includes? They make my website much more dynamic and easier to navigate. I actually wonder why includes aren't part of html since the actual include could easily be done on the client side. Anyway, frames are so 90's.

  11. Re:Times? on Wireless Electricity Set to Power Village · · Score: 1

    Thanks, that helps.

  12. Times? on Wireless Electricity Set to Power Village · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Why can I never read the stories on slashdot unless I sign up for a service I would otherwise never use? On top of that, once they have your email address, they probably send some spam. Mmm... Spam...

  13. Quality? on Assorted Video Game Movies in Development · · Score: 1

    Did anyone except me like the Final Fantasy movie that came out a while ago? I think these movies could be something like that. If one goes to rent a game based on a movie, expectations are lowered (except maybe the Bond games), but a movie based on a game! No one expects these to be blockbusters, but come on!

  14. Re:Um.... on The Rise and Fall of Napster · · Score: 1
    Audiogalaxy... now that was a friggin' good filesharing service.

    Damn straight! That was the single best idea for p2p anyone ever had. The web interface was great and I discovered so many new bands, it was amazing.

  15. Re:search.msn.com is the future on Building a Bigger Search Engine · · Score: 5, Interesting
    In particular, the company has its own team of editors that monitors the most popular searches being performed and then hand-picks sites that are believed to be the most relevant.

    You have to be kidding or working for Microsoft, or both! Have you ever searched for Linux on MSN? Try it - here.

    Notice the third result? "Learn about the Microsoft alternatives and how to move to them from open source products." I shit you not! I don't think Google would ever use this kind of dirty, underhanded trick. Great "hand-picking", mate.

  16. Re:If slashdotted... on Dial-A-Cam · · Score: 1

    I don't think CNET is going to become slashdotted. Go to www.com. Who owns it? CNET. Karma whore?

  17. Schools? on XML Support In Office 2003 Isn't For Everyone · · Score: 5, Insightful
    I really like the idea of human-readable code, but who really wants to lose backward compatability with all the rest of the versions? At my highschool, there are about five versions of Office, all which save in different formats. Most people save as rich text just for compatability, because even the small releases or updates do not save in a compatible format for the older releases. If we introduce a format which is absolutely not readable by older versions, it will not only baffle our techies for months, but I know productivity will take a hit when students *accidentally* save in the wrong format and then cannot open it for the life of them.

    This is one reason I use openoffice (openoffice.org at home as it supports most word versions flawlessly, without promting me to "insert office cd 2" to install the feature.

  18. $20 Sony Trinitron on Shopping for a New Monitor? · · Score: 1

    This is ironic, because I just bought a Sony Trinitron 19" moniter from Best Buy for twenty dollars because some idiot tinted it and the film bubbled. The other idiots at Best Buy didn't know what the hell was wrong with the moniter, so I just picked it up and said "$20?". The manager said yes, so I took it home and pulled the film off. I saved over $500! This is the way to buy a high quality moniter!

  19. Re:The holy grail of energy on Sandia Labs Takes First Steps Toward Fusion · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Please tell me something I don't already know. I mean, how many people before you have already stated what you just said?! I think that you just wanted to have a first post and didn't care what the content was. If you really want to say something interesting, tell wondrous tales of how electrons may be extracted through a proton exchange membrane directly, without having to combine it with a neutron to produce dueterium... oh, wait! That's fuel cell technology. And it's already here (sort of). Or maybe you could tell of how one day this could solve conflicts over natural resources like the one currently in Iraq... but for baby Jesus' sake please don't just state the obvious, you dolt!

    And how the hell did this get moderated to four? Man...

  20. Latency? on Pendulum Clock with Atomic Precision · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Wouldn't the latency of the net connection/camera/lever defeat the whole purpose of atomic precision? I mean, anyone can just reset thier clock once and a while to the "technical" standard time. Is this really accurate?

  21. MSN Competition? on Microsoft Wants to Take on Google · · Score: 1

    Who actually uses MSN? I know that it is the default homepage and quite a few non-techs never change that. How many of thier hits does that account for? It must be a lot, because MSN is no competitor for google. They must be getting a false reading.

    Back off. Jeez. I was just joking.

  23. BSA? on BSA IDC FUD · · Score: 2, Funny

    I didn't know the boy scouts of america were cracking down on piracy! If they weren't always coming to my door with thier fundraisers, I'd have some money to buy some legal software!

  24. isn't that OSDL? on OSDL Releases TPC Benchmark Tests For Linux · · Score: -1, Redundant
