  1. Installation on Half-Life 2 Finally Activated · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Is it me or does loading HL2 feel like the old days of loading Windows 95 from floppy disks?

  2. Mt. Everest on Reading Slashdot From Strange Locations · · Score: 1

    I once read slashdot from camp 4 on Mt. Everest. It was printed out down in base camp and delivered by sherpas.

  3. VoCP on Is VOIP Over WLAN DOA? · · Score: 1

    If you want great sound quality and can live with a little delay, try straping a small HDD with your voice message to a carrier pigeon. It's wireless.

  4. Best Option on Wiring a Neighborhood? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Ok, here is my solution going from the user level to the core of your network. Infrared port on PC to Infrared Network Gateway module setup in each room (I'm not sure these exist, but work with me here). INGM has RS530 serial connection back to Cisco 6509 switch. (Make sure you put redundant Sup720's for native IPv6 switching.) If security is important you can use some KIV-19 or KG-195 bulk encryption devices on your serial connection. Oh yeah, you'll need some kind of stratum 1 clock source to injected timing into your INGM. We don't want any slips on that line. Then to connect everybody's 6509, I would run some coax and fire up some Token Ring. I have similar setup in my duplex and it works like a charm.

  5. What about Bob on Microsoft Source Follow-Up · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think the most fascinating part of this whole fiasco is the fact that code for Microsoft "Bob" is still prevalent throughout the source. I can only wait in anticipation as the open source community takes advantage is this and quickly puts out its own variants.

  6. Re:Not just IP... on VoIP Advances And Trends For 2004 · · Score: 1

    When I sold Cisco IP phones in the past we always tried to get the clients to buy inline powered switches. Because the switches were hooked up to UPS's people were still able to get power and dial tone if the power went out.

  7. Ilium on Best and Worst Books of 2003? · · Score: 1

    I've been eyeing 'Ilium' by Dan Simmons for a while. Has anyone out there read this? Is it worth reading?

  8. You forgot about Arthor on AI Sues for Its Life in Mock Trial · · Score: 1

    Just when the computer becomes self aware, Arthor Dent will be there to kill it.

  9. Are they trying to sing out of tune? on Perfect Pitch for Those Without It · · Score: 1

    About 99% of the guys singing in rap songs should run out to the store and buy this thing right away!

  10. Garth Brooks Juice Diet on "Time-Traveler" Busted For Insider Trading · · Score: 2, Funny

    Pregnant man gives birth....That's a fact!

  11. Re:Shock and Awe on Major Strike on Iraq Underway · · Score: 1

    The phrase comes from a couple of military theorists who wrote a book on it back in 1996.

    I'm just waiting until they build this into counter-strike. I haven't had anybody give up yet b/c I threw a HE Grenade. Now that I think of it, they should let you buy leaflets that say something like, 'Throw down your weapons. Resistance is useless!'

  12. Thoughts of a soldier on Updates on War in Iraq · · Score: 3, Insightful

    A good friend of mine who is a Lt. in the 101st sent me this quote right before he shipped out. "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." -John Stuart Mills-
