    So, this is how Billy Gates will add to his 40.5 BILLION. Did you know if he spent a dollar every SECOND, 1255 days and 12 hours to expend all of his money?

  3. use? on 1.8TB Of Disk Space In A (Semi-)Normal PC · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    what's the use of a computer lacking CD-ROM? It's cool and all, but purposeful? I think not.

    so, what we're saying is, if a hacker makes up a song and slaps a copyright on it, that gives him legitamate reason to hack because "he believed the people were illegally using his copyrighted song???"

  6. some thoughts on Palm PDA Roundup · · Score: 3, Informative

    Why would anyone ever need anything more than what the current top-of-the-line Sony Clié has to offer?? Camera? Got it. Mp3 player? Got it. Plenty of memory? Got it.

    Help me here.

    No, it's not just cartoons. It's cartoons that middle-aged men get off to.

    wow, that thing is REALLY a waste of money.
    This company page implies that you'll still pick up the phone when it's a telemarketer, they'll just be disconnected AFTER you pick up the phone. Wow! A $40 device to hang up the phone!

  9. a problem on The Future of Money · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the problem with credit cards today is that people under 18 cannot have their own. How can we instill hardworking qualities in our young people while denying them the right to use their money as they choose?

  13. hmmm on Linux In Space: Red Hat Rides The Rocket · · Score: 0, Funny

    one thing's for sure. It's much better than the 1970's computers running NASA's systems now.

  21. cool on LinuxWorld Exhibitors' Responses to Slashdot Questions · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm gonna become a tech journalist. That way I can walk around wearing my Red Hat cap, Microsoft T-shirt, Linux press badge, carrying a bag full of demo CDs. I can also have in my duffel a Rubik's Cube keychain and, to top it all off, a squeezy penguin.

    Worth the price of admission?

    microsoft isn't producing any Linux products?? Their salespeople/techies have no knowledge of any products forthcoming?? What a surprise!

  23. some thoughts on Ain't It Cool Announces Game Site · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The movie industry is different from the video game industry. For one, video games bring in much more money. For another, a video game site needs different things than a movie site. Will there be codes? How about a forum for people to meet up who want to play? How 'bout a game-rating forum? This has the potential to be good, as long as it's not just a cut rate forum.
