  1. I never understood on Audio/Video Conference with iChat and AIM · · Score: 5, Insightful
    Why we need to see the person on the other end of the line unless they were giving a presentation or something.

    Other then that it's quite useless unless you are going to make faces at each other or possibly have cyber-sex but then again we're talking about the /. crowd.

  2. Personal experience with uncapping on Cable Modem Hackers Release Improved Firmware · · Score: 1

    I have an uncapped cable modem and I swear they have never caugh

  3. Pasty White Geeks Rejoice! on Half-Life 2 Targeted for Summer Release · · Score: 1

    One more reason not to venture outside this summer.

    Dominates the world!

  5. Where do we bid? on Clean Nuclear Launches? · · Score: 1

    One the lucrative space waste management contracts that will be available in the coming years? Millions of pounds of material sounds like $$ in the bank to me when it needs to be hauled to the landfill on the Moon. Hopefully (fingers crossed) we can avoid unions

  6. Cant we just on Clean Nuclear Launches? · · Score: 4, Funny
    Run a wire to the International Space Station and use straws glued to the sides of the rocket to guide them.

    Now, I'm no rocket scientist, but I think you get the idea..

  7. This is great news..... on 61-inch Wide Plasma Monitor · · Score: 1

    Now all we need is something worth watching.

  8. Same here on Obtaining Replacement Parts for Your Laptop? · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I just ran into a similar problem after I [cough] sat [/cough] on my laptop by mistake and at first I checked a few retailers that sold replacement lcd's only to find out they were astronomically priced and no one on ebay had the one that I needed until I waited a week and checked back on ebay and sure enough someone had one for sale.

    Try ebay, if you can't find it there you may be in trouble. :)

  9. Maybe we should just outsource on IBM vs. Content Chaos · · Score: 1

    this project to india.

  10. Damm on Inside the Lego Master Builder Search · · Score: 0

    My geek meter is pegged!

  11. Re:Nothing New on Microsoft Word Forms Passwords Hacked · · Score: 1
    I agree,

    This story is sooo 2003

  12. This is great news on Internet Archive Opens Crawler Code Under LGPL · · Score: 2, Informative

    Open source that handles over 300tb of data!

  13. Re:Saving private ryan on Bangalore Beats Silicon Valley · · Score: 1
    You are also correct

    As indicated here (It's the first paragraph)

    You are correct sir! Thanks

  15. I thought Bangalore's on Bangalore Beats Silicon Valley · · Score: 1, Funny

    Were those things in the 5th Element.

  16. Instant mod up on Cops, Wifi, Treasure Hunts, And More! · · Score: 1
    for the first person that posts a frikkin transcript.

    Our media player here at work is out of date apparently, as well is Real Player and the firewall blocks the bittorrent ports so no downloading there.

    Is there no justice in the world? I need to at least kill >1 hour when I first get to work!

  17. I can see it now.. New Austrailian hit show! on Australia To Use GM To Control Carp · · Score: 0

    "Queer FishEye for the Carp Guy" ...rimshot

  18. I'm gonna sit back at a safe distance on Depenguinator "Upgrades" Linux to BSD · · Score: 5, Funny

    and watch this flame war. Marshmallows anyone?

  19. Money better spent.. on UK Police Want An Automotive Tractor Beam · · Score: 1
    would be on a force field, innocent people wouldn't get killed by drunk drivers and idiots that run from the cops couldn't hurt anyone.

    Of course a large majority of lawyers would be out of business, which I guess would be another plus.

  20. Re:Beagle? on Fingers Crossed for Beagle · · Score: 4, Informative
    I guess this explains it:

    How the H.M.S. Beagle got Her Name

  21. Re:Beagle? on Fingers Crossed for Beagle · · Score: 1

    Maybe, but what was the ship named after? :)

  22. Beagle? on Fingers Crossed for Beagle · · Score: 3, Funny

    The name beagle doesn't exactly inspire much confidence.
    Pit Bull, Bull Dog or Rodesian Ridgeback would have had a better chance of surviving.

  23. Is nothing sacred? on 235,000 Fewer Programmers by 2015 · · Score: 5, Funny
    I just want to sit in my cube, program and interact with as little of management as possible.

    I should of known it would never last...

  24. Let's just hope on Sony Claims First Running Humanoid Robot · · Score: 5, Funny


    It doesn't run for Governor of Kalifornia!

  25. I code in whatever makes me money. on Explaining The Windows/UNIX Cultural Divide · · Score: 1

    I could give a rat's ass which platform it is since unfortunately I don't have the luxury to choose.
