  1. I'm not missing any limbs, and I am thankful for that, however, when I saw this post, the first thing I thought of was how cool it would be if.

  2. pics and tidbits of self mummify on Mummified Monk Found Inside 1,000-Year-Old Buddha Statue · · Score: 4, Informative

    I just saw this collection of pics of the same subject. It was quite interesting and thought I'd share. http://www.carapas.com/these-m...

  3. Pharmacy on Kmart Says Its Payment System Was Hacked · · Score: 1

    maybe they were going for the medical records, I heard that's big business these days.

  4. national rifle association on Ask Slashdot: Where Should a Geek's Charitable Donations Go? · · Score: 1

    NRA.org, They have a really good program and you can usually get a lifetime membership for $500 or $1000.

  5. warning... haiku on Google Releases Chrome 6, Pays $4337 In Bounties · · Score: 1

    like a mirror,
    only not really,
    unless you shine it up,
    you can see yourself in it.

  6. Re:Hmm...Giganews and other services are still the on R.I.P Usenet: 1980-2008 · · Score: 3, Informative

    I clicked on it cause it sounded like a good deal, but it looks more like...

    4 GB/day $23.95 USD

  7. Linus, Linux on Torvalds on Linux and Microsoft · · Score: 1

    He probably hit on the topics that needed to be public most, for him, and the project. He is very blunt. He probably wants to concentrate on Linux and he's probably tired of people coming to him with fud. I don't think he is scared to say what he feels, he just wants to use his time on what he loves, family and programming.

  8. public domain? on DUI Defendant Wins Source Code to Breathalyzer · · Score: 1

    This could be really huge, the source should be public. I hope he knows what to do with it.
    It would only make it better.

  9. Re:They don't hate Firefox on Does Comcast Hate Firefox? · · Score: 1

    I would suggest installing wireless and shortening up that coax.

  10. misprint? on Ubuntu Dell $50 Cheaper Than Vista Dell · · Score: 1

    56Whr Lithium Ion Battery (6 cell)
    how come the Linux system doesn't have this listed?

  11. Ford and mp3 on Five FM iPod Transmitters Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Ford has come out with some nice mp3 capability over the years...

  12. oh what a feeling :) on Buying Boxed Games - Important To The Gaming Experience? · · Score: 1

    "...a place where you can look over your collection [of game boxes] with pride, [...] the races you have won, and, of course, the money that has been spent."

    Whenever I look up at the box of Big Rigs, I remember how good I used to feel whenever they announced to me that "YOU'RE WINNER!"

  13. No such thing as bad publicity on Big Rigs Makes Play For Worst Game Of All Time · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's a good thing for this game that it is bad enough to be called 'worst' only scoring a 1/10, because if it had been only sort of bad, say 3/10 then nobody would have ever heard of it. Hell, I even almost feel like playing it.

  14. WINDRIVER?!?! on NASA Cancels Hubble Mission, and Other Space Bits · · Score: 1

    When I first read this post I must've glanced at the URL before the actual link cause I saw "windriver". heh I wonder how much 'Wind River' charges NASA for software licenses, What I mean is, It must be a highly specialized system, and it doesn't seem like it would be very profitable for them to sell only one.

  15. Drink lots of water. on Best Way To Beat A Caffeine Addiction? · · Score: 1

    This is a good idea, not only to defer yourself, but because of the headaches you are having, which is, amongst other things, one symptom of dehydration.

  16. maybe... on Jodrell Bank Telescope Gets No Signal From Beagle · · Score: 1

    Maybe the Beagle 2 is working fine, with exception to the communication link. I guess this would be just as well, but it still leaves hope to contact it in the future.

  17. Re:not really origami on Downloadable Origami Motorcycles · · Score: 1

    Maybe they should change the name of the art to "Yamagami" so no ones confused or insulted. hehe

  18. Evolution 1.5 Screens on Evolution 1.5 has Been Released · · Score: 3, Informative
  19. cheap labor on Stealth Inflation · · Score: 1

    This may have already been mentioned, but as a "profitable" business practice, it would probably be more cost effective to pay a normal CSR to take your call and work with you to correct the charges, then it would be to pay qualified accoutants to make sure the bills are accurate before they are sent out.

    If these companies were forced to take action, in the event they were actually found guilty of negligence, they'd probably just outsource the jobs to make up the difference.

  20. Re:Honestly.. on Planned California Bill Targets Video Game Sales · · Score: 1

    Of course, one doubts whether this will really keep violent games out of the hands of young kids anyway.

    I don't think they are trying to keep kids from playing games they aren't old enough for, but rather to have a system in place that helps to make parents more aware of what their kids are playing. Maybe a conversation will take place...

    "Son, this game has lots of violence, make sure you don't try to imitate things you see in it, it's only a game."

    "Sure Dad, I know it's just a game, I'm not stupid"

  21. Re:Evolution of PDA into MicroPC on Sharp Zaurus SL-C860 Announced For Japan · · Score: 1

    Indeed, I wouldn't mind it being a little bigger if i could throw in a little 9.5" HDD.

  22. On the upside... on SCO to Take On Hollywood · · Score: 1

    Maybe this will have a good effect, considering most people that read this will probably dismiss SCO's claims as weak, but may think, "Linux does all that in Hollywood?"

    No publicity is bad?

  23. Pictures on Zaurus SL-6000 Prototype Revealed · · Score: 5, Informative
  24. 512 Megabytes ought to.... on Panasonic Toughbook W2 Review · · Score: 1

  25. Nobody will ever need more then 4GB of memory... on Bill Gates: Windows Patched Faster than Linux · · Score: 1

    "But apart from Photoshop, I can't think of desktop applications where you would need more than 4 gigabytes of physical memory, which is what you have to have in order to benefit from this technology. Right now, it is costly."

    This line will someday be as famous as the now classic "640k" quote.
