    Was she older?

  2. Re:Cold at School? on Build Your Own LCD Bus Schedule · · Score: 1

    from the site
    That's certainly one caring looking devil.

  3. Re:Ebay, of course. on Updated Information On Columbia Shuttle Tragedy · · Score: 1

    On the 1st 6 pages, I notice NO items claiming to be debris. EBay probably has someone actively patroling for such things right now.

  4. Re:Nomenclature on GeForce FX Reviews Roll In · · Score: 1

    I don't really think the average Joe will be buying a high-end graphics card. If you're going to spend a few hundred dollars on a graphics card, you won't do it on name alone.

  5. Re:How long before Google is sued? on Register your own .mil Domain · · Score: 1

    A simple idea: just have the maintainer either add a comment to the page such as and then go to a page on Google which reads that page and then deletes all the cached versions.

  6. From their website: on Microsoft Loses Showdown in Houston · · Score: 1

    The essential component of the technology is an exclusive, first to market, proprietary web-enabled transport protocol. Its patented methodology is unrivaled and is the most groundbreaking and efficient way for applications to communicate data over the Internet.
    Exclusive, proprietary, patented. Can they possibly include any more Slashdot synonyms for bad?

  7. Re:USSR on Slashback: Bankruptcy, SUVdiving, Singalongs · · Score: 1

    Lenin: Must... Crush... Capeetalism! Rrr Rrr!

  8. Re:What a rippoff on How to change your Radeon 9500 into a 9700 · · Score: 1

    We would like to thank the Russian site for initially discovering this mod, the author of Riva Tuner, and everyone else who contributed.
    What?

  9. A bunch of Apple IIs on Collecting Classic Computers · · Score: 1

    I've got 3 Apple IIs in my basement and a rare (I believe) Osborne Professional.

  10. Re:But seriously on Linux Is Cheaper · · Score: 2, Funny

    Do you buy what car you drive based on price ? Of course not! That's why I love my Rolls Royce.

  11. His claimed bad joke on Star Wars Origami · · Score: 1

    In the gallery section:
    I did warn you. . . I was going to call it "A Bug's GIF".
    Which is below a .jpg :P

  12. Re:public memo on Windows Security Holes Go Mostly Unexploited · · Score: 1

    Another proper pluralization is viri. Just remember, folks, that the word isn't virius.

  13. Re:Why... on Windows Security Holes Go Mostly Unexploited · · Score: 1

    Something which destroys its own host hampers its ability to spread (you can't keep infecting new computers after you destroy the current one). That could be solved by a simple delayed destruction of the system. Give it a couple days to send out its emails or whatever else it does and then frag the system. Or, use the same process as many a hoax virus: have it go off on a certain day at some point in the future.

  14. Clever bastards, aren't they? on Redesigning The "Back" Button · · Score: 1

    "Gesture Navigation: An Alternative `Back' for the Future" Umm, if by "the future" they mean "Opera 5 and up."

  15. Re:already have it on Redesigning The "Back" Button · · Score: 1

    In Opera 7 Beta 2, the Forward button was given additional capability: if there's no page ahead in history and you're on a page with a "next" link, it will trigger that next link.

  16. Re:Ggrrrr PDF! on Re-examining the Port Chicago Disaster · · Score: 1

    Hell, if someone doesn't have a .pdf reader, they can use Google.

  17. From their newbie page on Build a Nuclear Fusion Reactor at Home · · Score: 5, Informative

    But the most compelling promise of fusion is in the fuel itself: fusion is produced from an isotope of hydrogen called deuterium, which exists in the Earth's oceans in sufficient abundance to supply the planet's energy needs for hundreds of millions of years - until long after the Sun itself has flamed out.
    The sun is supposed to burn out in 5 billion years, I believe.

  18. How about... on iRobot Moves Into Your House · · Score: 1

    an iZac, a la Futurama?

  19. Re:Memory metals?? on Thermally Powered Mechanical Wristwatch · · Score: 1

    The stuff isn't gone yet-- my glasses are made out of memory metal. It's fun bending them in half to suprise people.

  20. Is it just me... on Sharp C-700 English Conversion Pictures · · Score: 1

    ...or does the icon for the pseudo-start menu look like a hammer-and-sickle?

  21. Re:Buffer overflow yet again on WinXP and WinAmp Vulnerable to Malicious MP3s · · Score: 1

    What's with the returns? Your post looks like a haiku.

  22. Re:Create Your Own (Big) Mac on Build Your Own Mac · · Score: 1

    Damn straight it's 3 halves. It's about as much as an impossibility as 3/2 is.

  23. Re:Interesting article/research project on New Software Secures Data when Owners Walk Away · · Score: 1

    At the beginning of the process, the user enters a password on the watch. "That's to make sure an imposter isn't wearing your token," Noble says. They would need your password, too.
