  1. Re:Um...no on 100-Year Domain Renewals? · · Score: 1

    Why do companies find it so hard to remember to renew their domains? It's a re-occuring charge idiots! Just like tons of other bills in your business. Do these same companies *cough* Microsoft *cough* just "forget" to pay their other bills too?

  2. The Sims on US Military Builds MMO Earth Simulator · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now if they would just make the earth data available as a plug-in for The Sims, I would never have to leave my computer again!

  3. I smell another lawyer letter on Infinium Labs Threatens Gaming News Site · · Score: 1

    Now the next step will be to at DDoS to Slashdot's crimes against their company.

  4. the one advantage on An Ignition Interlock In Every Car? · · Score: 1

    You won't have to worry about drunk college teenages trying to jack your car after they've spent an evening drinking.

  5. hidden morse code on Morse Code Enters The 21st Century · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I recently wrote a PHP program that hides morse code messages into other sentences. Guess I'll have to update it now. Check it out here: CodeBreak - Hidden Morse Code

  6. super web-cam! on Nasa Says 'no' to Hubble Reprieve · · Score: 1

    If there are going to take it out of commission, can they give semi-public access to the camera. That would be one super web-cam!

  7. My Suggestions on Reviews for Digital Camcorders? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I've used several Sony and Canon camcorders extensively in the past few years. My all around favorite is the Canon GL2, but I think that would be out of your price range ($2000). Even though you don't plan to do computer editing, the digital formats (Mini-DV) are the way to go because they provide higher quality and don't degrade as quickly. Higher quality digital camcorders use 3 CCDs, and the others only use 1 CCD. Either way, you will get far better results than using a consumer analog camera. Unless you already have shot a lot 8mm or Hi8 tape, don't bother with Digital8. The quality is the same, but it will be harder to find compatible playback decks or cameras in the future. I personally am using a Sony TRV-27 right now for most purposes. I think it's been replaced with a different model now. Check out sonystyle.com for current models.

  10. Re:I think I'll patent applying for silly patents. on AT&T Sues PayPal and eBay for Patent Infringement · · Score: 1

    That wouldn't make it because it's not original at all. There are so many silly patents already. Remember "Prior Art"?

  11. Re:Ways to crack it on Self-Destructing DVD's Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    It can't just slowly degrade over the 48 hours, or otherwise the DVD would start to display errors and glitches many hours before it would actually expire. I think that just one exposure to regular air starts it self-destruct process and putting it in any other kinds of gases (or a vacuum) would probably not stop whats already been started.

  12. DVD Recoding Deck on Preserving VHS Recordings For Another 20 Years? · · Score: 3, Informative

    The fastest and easiest way would be to use a DVD recording deck. I have a Samsung (Panasonic) unit that works just like a VCR. Decent quality too, much better than your VHS tape and it's very fast and easy!

  13. Re:Time to OSS evolve to the next level on OSS Officially On Microsoft's Financial Radar Screen · · Score: 1

    Who cares if consumers don't switch to Linux or other OSS? Microsoft lowering prices is good for all right now...

  14. Notice the date! on Space Shuttle Columbia Breaks Up Over Texas · · Score: 1

    Todays date written in YY-MM-DD format is: 03-02-01 ...which is the countdown used when launching a shuttle. I'm not saying that there is anything related to this, just an interesting fact.
