  1. Remember Everyone... on NYT on Spam Cops · · Score: 2, Funny

    When submitting a story from the NYT, the summary with the wittiest "registration required" comment will be the one that is selected. Who cares if you can offer up any extra insight. Keep this in mind next time you find something /. worthy. Comedy rules, dammit.

  2. Ginger on Why I.T. Matters · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Are we talking about Ginger here?

  3. Re:Acronyms for all! on A Snag For Verisign's Suit Against ICANN · · Score: 1, Funny

    Seeing as how the VP is such a VIP shouldn't we keep the PC on the QT 'cause if it leaks to the VC he could become a MIA and then we'd all be put out on KP.

  4. Mythbusters on Can Cell Phones Ignite Gasoline Vapors? · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Haven't you seen the episode of Mythbusters where they disproved this myth?

  5. Re:TechTV was never that good... on Comcast Fires TechTV Staff · · Score: 1

    And CNN and the other news networks never cover the same stories? Both mediums cover Tech news so of course they are giong to have a lot of the same stories. Slashdot has the advantage of being "on" 24/7 so when 1 hour show airs later in the day of course they will have a collection of stories that happened through out the day and were covered by other mediums.

  6. Re:Things that encourage less security are funny. on Comcast Warns Infringing Customers Of Abuse · · Score: 1

    I live is a small community and I have none of my neighbors have Wi-Fi and I have never had any one else connect to my network in the 1+ year that I have had it open. I guess there aren't any wardrivers in my area.

  7. Re:Things that encourage less security are funny. on Comcast Warns Infringing Customers Of Abuse · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's what I do.

  8. Re:Just one teeny problem. on Russian Music Site Offering Legal Songs By The MB · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the spoilers space. I haven't watched the movie yet!

  9. Re:The standard for what is "News" sure is sinking on iPod Mini Custom Installation In A Ford Explorer · · Score: 1

    Yes... If it will run Linux.

  10. Bone Thugs? on iPod Mini Custom Installation In A Ford Explorer · · Score: 5, Funny

    All of that just to listen to Bone Thugs? What a waste.

  11. Re:Misprint on Omniscience Protocol · · Score: 1

    AD Skinner has had this problem for a few years now. Damn Krycek!

  12. Re:Just another excuse on SBC Park Plans A Giant 802.11 Hotspot · · Score: 2, Insightful

    To me, there is a big difference betwenn 6 points in a football game and 6 runs in a baseball game. In the later, someone likely scored a touchdown, however 6 runs is a big inning and I'd like to see what pitcher got shelled, did someone hit a grand slam, where there a couple of homers, or was it just a steady dose of singles and doubles. In this situation, I would like to find out this info and luckily I can via my cell phone.

  13. Re:thoughts on SBC Park Plans A Giant 802.11 Hotspot · · Score: 1

    Hell, even the University of Akron has campus wide WiFi and it is more than a city block (size of a stadium) as well.

  14. Re:Just another excuse on SBC Park Plans A Giant 802.11 Hotspot · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I frequently use my cell phone to look up stats and other information when at a ball game. It is especially handy when someone points out that the score of the division rival's game just went from 2-2 to 8-2. I can find out what happened pretty quickly.

  15. Re:not just a Linux user on SCO Names 1st Lawsuit Target: AutoZone [Updated] · · Score: 1

    Web-server != Business Systems

  16. Re:Duh on 'Extreme' Web Sites Under Fire From UK Police · · Score: 1, Funny

    I think he means teachers.

  17. Re:An open source of Windows... of sorts? on Windows 2000 & Windows NT 4 Source Code Leaks · · Score: 1

    I would love to use Windows XP Lite K++ edition without all of the... nevermind.

  18. No Simpsons Topic? on The Simpsons Movie · · Score: 5, Funny

    It is a great unjustice that we have Star Wars and LotR topics but no Simpsons topic. That is unpossible.

  19. Re:But do the senior partners approve? on Wolfram's New Kind of Science Now Online · · Score: 1

    If only I had mod points today.

  20. Re:Legal? on Kazaa Offices Raided · · Score: 2, Funny

    I can think of 2 things wrong with your post. 1. You can't count.

  21. Re:Tech TV on Cable TV Versus Satellite TV? · · Score: 1

    I couldn't live without my daily fill of Sarah Lane & Morgan Webb!

  22. Re:Cable is great on Cable TV Versus Satellite TV? · · Score: 1

    What features does it have that a Tivo or ReplayTv doesn't have?

  23. Re:Good. on Disney's Disposable DVDs Deemed Duds · · Score: 1

    Or you could just rip it after you open it so that you could what it whenever you want.

  24. Re:super bowl watching tip on Apple and Pepsi Ad Sports RIAA Targets · · Score: 3, Interesting

    ReplayTV has a button combo/hack that reverses their "Commercial Skip" so that it becomes "Content Skip".

  25. Re:If You Haven't Taken Action AlreadyDEFECTIVE on RIAA Files 532 Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    Of course, how did it take them five years to figure this out? Doesn't the band even listen to their CD's?
    To paraphrase a Greg Dulli song: Miles is dead.
