  1. Re:SpreadFirefox on Open Source Word-of-Mouth Advertising · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or does spreadfirefox just give a blank page in firefox? It works ok in Internet Explorer.
    Maybe this is by design, but seems kind of weird to me. BTW, I'm using the MOOX compile.

  2. Re:Broadband about to pass cable TV on Broadband Usage Up, TV Usage Down · · Score: 1

    >> Unfortunately, most of the broadband connections don't have enough bandwidth for good NTSC video, let alone HDTV.

    Of course that's incorrect. What you mean is that most broadband connections don't have enough bandwidth for good *live* NTSC video. For those who download the Divx and have patience, who cares?
    Of course, that's kind of true for live video.

  3. About time... on Robotic Science Network Watches Our Oceans · · Score: 1

    Now we can finally get Center Neptune under construction.
    All right, you try to come up with something more obscure and geekier.

  4. Re:Ironic future? on Build a House Out of Recycled Cardboard · · Score: 1

    >> High society will live in elegant, custom constructed cardboard houses, and people who are down on their luck will be found, living in alleys in shitty brick houses.
    I always heard them called 'brick shit houses'. Go figure.

  5. That's ok... on Adieu to Ken Jennings · · Score: 2, Funny

    Ken is smiling down from Slashdot spoiled TV heaven with the Lone Gunmen.

  6. Re:Wow on Hong Kong's High-Tech Technology Incubator · · Score: 5, Insightful

  7. On the contrary... on Scientists Propose 'National Parks' On Mars · · Score: 4, Funny

    Crash spaceship sites should be designated 'national historal parks'.

  8. Newsflash 2020 AD on Lunar Helium 3 Could Meet Earth's Energy Demands · · Score: 1

    Lunar lander, supposed to return with valuable helium-3 today, landed with no helium-3 onboard. The astronauts were interviewed immediately following the mission, but no explanation was given due to the astronauts laughing continuously and talking with high pitched voices.

  9. Re:Nooooooooo! on Open Source Gets Its Own TV Show · · Score: 3, Funny

    >>Guaranteed to jump the shark in Season Six when Stallman opens a taco stand.
    Better than in season 5 when Taco opened a stallman stand.

  10. Somewhat related question... on Best Live Linux For Christmas Giving? · · Score: 1

    Has anybody come up with a "live CD" which is really a live CD, QEMM, and a batch file? This would be pretty handy for demoing Linux without someone having to boot from the CD.
    Oh, and I'm NOT suggesting this for a Christmas/Birthday/Bar Mitzvah/Kwanzaa/anything gift.

  11. Thanks Slashdot. on Is The Lone Coder Dead? · · Score: 1

  13. Re:wow on Warezed SoundForge Files In Windows Media Player · · Score: 2, Funny

    >> just...wow...I thought big M would have been smart enough to remove that.. if they had they probably woulda gotten away with it too..

    You forgot "if it wasn't for those nosy kids and their stupid dog."

  14. Same old story... And in the future: on Pioneer Ultraviolet Laser Promises 500GB Discs · · Score: 1

    Sony and Phillips come out with competing ultraviolet disc formats. Then, 4 months later, come the competing UVD+RW and UVD-RW formats....
    Been there, done that.

  18. Re:Didn't this already happen? on Internet Turns 35 Today · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, according to this article, the internet just turned 20 last year.
    Here's one that said it turned 35 last month.
    Here's yet another one at a reputable site that has it as 20 years ago, but this was Dec 31, 2002.
    Any reason to celebrate, I guess.

  19. About time... on Build Your Own Flying Lawn Mower · · Score: 1

    Next step, flying lawn tractor. Then, to the flying car!! That, according to past predictions on slashdot, is in about 10 years time, if I remember correctly.

    Well, there's always this, but I don't know what's happened in the past year or so...

    Hmmm....
    So what time is it, really?

  25. Seems to be broken on Coral P2P Cache Enters Public Beta · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Some reason, this works but this doesn't... guess there are limits to recursion. If for some reason the last link works, keep adding nyud.nets...
