  1. I feel a name change coming on .... on Canadian Phone Company Selling Porn · · Score: 1

    Maybe they'll change their name from Telus to Phallus?

  2. Do It Yourself Documentation on Spring into Technical Writing · · Score: 1

    I generally use this service when writing technical and other documentation for work. It's more slanted towards bulk documentation for commercial areas but it allows me to plan a document and get a quote very easily. You can also convert your existing paperbased manuals to online as well.

  3. great idea but.... on Self-Heating Coffee Hacking · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's a great idea however the amount of coffee you actually get to drink compared to the mechanism that makes the whole thing work is quite a small amount (i.e like the size of a short macchiato).

  4. Re:Santa Clause on Smoke and Mirrors from Sony and Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Your comment modded currently at +4 Funny virtually assures kids reading the page that the aforementioned statement is true. Poor kids.

  5. Re:It may be not so simple on Music Site AllofMP3 Under Investigation · · Score: 1

    I dont know about that ... it looks like from a western perspective (well certainly in the media reports we get here in Australia) that the buck stops (so to speak) with the Russian Government, and they can shut down anyone they please. Primary case in point is what happened to the mega oil corporation Yukos and Mikhail Khodorkovsky.

  6. Software Licenses on Helping IT Save Money ... and Jobs? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sorry to state the bleeding obvious but if you can find an open-source software alternative that is as good as or better than the software packages your currently using then why not propose to migrate across?

  7. Re:Pentium 64 on New Intel Trademark Filed · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Thanks for establishing this for the 60th time.

  8. Well ... on Build Your Own Rotary-Dial Cell Phone · · Score: 1

    My grandma still uses her rotary dial phone (still works fine) - its easier for her to use because of her eyesight than a new ultra small touchpad phone.

  9. Re:It's SCO's list of Linux's infringing source co on Opportunity Spots Curious Object On Mars · · Score: 1

    It's been a long time since someone posted a joke about SCO. I applaud thee loudly.

  10. Re:Sealab 2021 on Hannu H. Kari Gives The Internet 2 More Years · · Score: 1

    In 2007 Longhorn was released?

  11. Re:Have we really gotten that lazy... on Dodgeball: Text Your Location To Friends · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    "...It's no fun to always feel like you're pinned down by technology....
    ....
    Just my 2 cents.

    With your sig I really can't take what you said seriously!!

  12. Bit of a let down.... on Distributed Proofreaders Posts 5,000th E-book · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Man, why couldnt it have been something interesting like the latest Playboy or something...

  13. Re:Am I the only person that thinks IE is ok? on Get Rid of Internet Explorer - Browse Happy! · · Score: 1

    Stop visiting dodgy porn/crack sites and you won't have that problem.

    Seriously any site with any more than one 'non-functional' popup - I won't ever visit again because it's obvious they exist only to make revenue through subversive means.

  14. Definition of dupe on British Telecom Plans to Ditch POTS Network · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Definitions of DUPE:

    a person who is tricked or swindled

    fool or hoax; "The immigrant was duped because he trusted everyone"; "You can't fool me!"

    Abbrev. fr. duplication.

    Short for duplicate. To reproduce a page or an image exactly as it originally appeared.

    Thanks again, Slashdot!

  15. Re:Similar to MIT students in Jan 2003 on Not-So-Clean Hard Drives For Sale · · Score: 1

    "...Of course you are more likely to buy some hard drives on eBay and end up with the entire history of some guy's girlfriend's medical problems in old e-mails, a small collection of old cached Slashdot pages, and some rather naff Flash animations..."

    So your the one that ended up with my old hard drive ...

  16. Hmmm on Nintendo Pokemon Mini LCD Game Hacked · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Don't you love the smell of lawsuits in the morning?

  17. ob. Croc Hunter quotes on Scuba-Doo Underwater Scooter · · Score: 1

    The webmaster of scuba-doo.com.au is currently shouting "CRIKEY, that's a big one" when looking at the massive spike of website hits he is getting thanks to /.

  18. Robocup on Little Robots Play Soccer · · Score: 1

    Robotic Soccer's answer to the World Cup - it's called Robocup

    Many universities take part in this event and the cup's mission is to "...develop a team of fully autonomous humanoid robots that can win against the human world soccer champion team by 2050..."

  19. Re:Its still piracy on Study: MP3 Sharing Not Serious Threat To CD Sales · · Score: 1

    Your right, nothing has changed.

    Sony is still making devices to record music from other mediums. You can buy Sony CD Burners and Sony blank CD media.

    This boils down to the fact that Sony Electronics (i.e the people that make stereos and computer equipment) don't give a rat's left one that Sony Music is bitching about people copying their signed artist's albums.

    It is a massive oxymoron, but at the end of the day Joe Sixpack can go buy a Sony CD burner using Sony blank CD's and copy Sony Music signed artists. Doesn't mean that it is LEGIT at all.

  20. Mercury Interactive tools on Web Server Stress Testing : Tutorial /Review · · Score: 1

    As a test consultant working in all areas of automated testing (as opposed to manual 'tick the box' testing) - I do most of my Load or Stress Testing using the industry standard tool LoadRunner. I've used all other load testing tools and this is by far the best (albeit pretty expensive) but for large scale commercial projects - nothing even comes close.

  21. In 1977.... on Record Industry Sues 532 More U.S. File-Sharers · · Score: 4, Funny

    "..This brings the total number of subpoenas to 1,977.."

    In 1977:

    February 11 - A 20.2-kg lobster is caught off Nova Scotia (heaviest known crustacean).

    Coincidence?!? YOU Decide

  22. RIAA Introduces New Business Model on Record Industry Sues 532 More U.S. File-Sharers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    $3000 per settlement?!?! Uh oh I think the RIAA just found a profitable new business model.

  23. Re:Security by Confusion? on San Diego Diebold Poll Worker's Report Posted · · Score: 5, Funny

    "...the worst case here is swearing in a losing candidate..."

    George W. just called and wants to meet with you to discuss your idea.

  24. Flight SIMS on G-rated Simulation Games? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You could try MS Flight Simulator - the latest one has full video tutorials on every aspect of flying/taking off/landing etc.

    Plus a whole host of aircraft to choose from including Boeing 747's.

    Extremely educational but requires a bit of patience so don't know how well it will go down with kids that may have short attention spans.

  25. Re:Durability on Microdrive Technology Rebounds Thanks to iPod Mini · · Score: 1

    You ask this question AFTER you buy it?!?!?
