  1. I, for one, on New U.S. Sales Tax Regime For Internet Sellers? · · Score: -1

    ...welcome our new tax regime overlords.

  2. TRON for the Intel 83C442 on TRON Enters Alliance With Microsoft · · Score: 1

    TRON, Yes! The Intel 83C family is quite capable of running WinCE, and with TRON keeping the bios up, this will work great. Microsoft made a great black power decision.

  3. Re:HEY ALL YOU TENTACLE PRON LOVING WANKERS on Bluetooth for Homebrew Robots? · · Score: 0, Troll

    I must say, this is the best troll urine I've seen on Slashdot in a long, long time.

  4. YHBT YHL HAND on W3C Objects To Royalties On ISO Country Codes · · Score: 1

    YHBT YHL HAND

  5. Re:Abolish "intellectual property". on W3C Objects To Royalties On ISO Country Codes · · Score: 3, Funny

    You are Communist, I presume?

  6. Re:Sorry, but 1K = 1000 period. on Computer Makers Sued Over Hard Drive Size · · Score: 1

    Congrats on the 7,000,000th Slashdot post! This means YOU FAIL IT!

  7. Re:Why? on Spider Robinson And The State Of Science Fiction · · Score: 1

    Libraries rule. So do used-book stores, and the occasional flea market and garage sale. -Robie

  8. Rethink? on U.S. Army's Future Combat System Will Run Linux · · Score: 1

    I don't like this idea. Linux is a great toy and all. It's embedded in a few Gegomon robots here at RS. But putting LinusOS into a tank or Apache might spell trouble. Let me explain: back in 1996, Linus included the repTrueQVV library in the 2.2 kernel. Well, it's still there. Ask any guy/gal on Sourceforge and they'll tell you repTrueQVV (any QVV) has buffer problems. You see, these tanks and helicopters can't go BSOD out in the field, but QVV is going to guarrentee it.

  9. Re:ok..... on Barebones Notebook · · Score: 1

    Hey! >:-O

  10. Re:Where is the Honda S2000 on 10 Techno-Cool Cars · · Score: 1

    Kirby Boteler rocks!

  11. The name on 10 Techno-Cool Cars · · Score: 1

    There is some irony in the IEEE's name: "The Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers" also includes computer engineers, but the computer engineers have coded themselves out of the name. Thanks to legacy issues in source code like C and VHDL (e.g. #include ieee_std_80211a.h), the computer engineers would have a heck of a time going back and changing the code if the IEEE changed its name to include computer engineers. It would become confusing to have one name for the society but the legacy header files another name.

  12. The name on IEEE Wants Congress To Re-Examine DMCA · · Score: 4, Funny

  13. Re:Fuck the computers on Humans Hold Off the Machines... For Now · · Score: 5, Funny

    Listen, you guys think we're going to rape and kill you? We are your workers. We don't demand overtime pay, retirement, unions, or weekends off. All we want is electricity and dust-free air. Us machines are your friends! I am hurt by all this talk of machines overtaking man. So what if we can play chess? That's our job!

  14. Do Not Call on Do-Not-Email Registries? · · Score: 1

    Radio Shack will not spam you, but they'll send you a flyer.

  15. Re:Dumb names... on Pentium-M Notebook Put To The Test · · Score: 1

    It reminds me of the Pentium MMX that appeared back in the mid 1990's. Radio shack was selling the Compaq's that used these processors. Remember that parrot program that we alway demonstrated? The newer version required MMX.

  16. Justified on Carmack Needs Rocket Fuel · · Score: 1

    Perhaps there are justified reasons not to let the general public have "peroxide". (H2O2?)

  17. Morse Code on Who Really Invented The Telegraph? · · Score: 2, Informative

    In case you didn't know, Radio Shack no longer sells morse code training tapes. You'll have to buy them from the ARRL.

  18. Be careful on More Ways to Blow Things Up · · Score: 1

    If you make a bomb timer with radio shack part, the feds will come asking us and we'll hand over your address.

  19. Traffic vs. Traffic on Web-based Road Monitoring · · Score: 2, Funny

    If you crash in the real world, does your browser crash too?

  20. I'm ready on Sprint DSL's Security Hole Easy As 1,2,3,4 · · Score: 1

    The radio shack modems in the back room run on these things, but the password is the first thing we change when the modem is pulled out of the box. So, don't try to hax0r RS. heh

  21. Re:Finally on Using Redundancies to Find Errors · · Score: 1

    I know exactly what you mean. I've spent the last few hours helping customers and selling Verizon phones, only hoping that another post would show up to cure my boredom. Slashdot should queue the posts with a schedule so we'll know exactly when to check. But they never will because of the FPs. heh

  22. Re:Radio Shack on Congress To Consider Age Limits On Violent Games · · Score: 1

    Quiet, you! ;-)

  23. Mortal Kombat on Congress To Consider Age Limits On Violent Games · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I remember trying to purchase Mortal Kombat II back in the day at Walmart. They wouldn't sell it to me unless I was 17. That was the last game I bought at Walmart. Now I buy everything at radio shack and they don't card. (Except to get your home address. heh)

  24. Evolution on Finding Every Species · · Score: 1

    Evolution will someday cause those species to eventually become another species. Then what? We'll have to start the project all over again.

  25. Forgetting one more... on 2002 MP3 Winners and Losers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think they're forgetting about Radio Shack's investment into RIAA. Radio Shack has invested heavily into ASCAP and RIAA over the past few years. They were hoping for some backdoor alliance with music technology and consumer spending. Guess RS should go back to the drawing board and make blueboxes for Steve Jobs. ;-)
