  1. Re:Actually on X17 Solar Flare Sends 2B Tons of Plasma at Earth · · Score: 1

    It will be the only portion of the hitchhiker's guide that will actually function during the storm, so yes it would be useful when electronics stop working.

  2. Re:whats next ..? on 1.70 Mhz 8-Bit Ataris Get 10 Mbit Ethernet · · Score: 1

    I'm wishing for TI-apache and Tizilla to go with that, and then it will be practal.

  3. Re:Then vs Than on Judge Examines Microsoft Settlement Progress · · Score: 1

    Don't have a link to send these idiots to to teach them grammar, but you know I wish I did.

    While I don't deny this sentance wouldn't win a pulitzer, I think it makes more sense if you say it aloud.

    And the second blind man whines continiously.

    better bring your blowtorch, epoxy encapsulation sounds like it's hard to crack. One of these might work, if your aim is good. They aren't meant for epoxy removal, but I've found a .22 can deal with almost any adhesive.

  5. i don't feel so bad anymore on Victoria's Secret Fined for Security Leak · · Score: 1

    for failing tomaintain secure access to customer purchase records.

    Ah, I don'tfeelbadaboutallmytyposnow.

  6. Re:but France was right on Dilbert Readers Rat Out Some Weasels · · Score: 1

    The polls are based on.. the public! Good, I was afraid we actually elected Arnold as governer in an offical manner.

  7. My only question is on Strong N-Gage Launch Claimed, Figures Disagree · · Score: 1

    Will it do better or worse than the Virtual Boy?

  8. Re:Couldn't afford a flag? WTF? on Supreme Court Will Hear Pledge of Allegiance Case · · Score: 1

    Yup, they bought the TVs back when they had money, and then had no money left when told to purchase flags.

  9. Re:Pledge almost is the same as prayer in schools on Supreme Court Will Hear Pledge of Allegiance Case · · Score: 1

    I go to a public high school, they say the pledge on Mondays. The teacher stands, and I do just to be the one stupid kid who does something. It's like the one senior who gos to school on Senior Skip Day. I'm just doing it, I wouldn't be doing anything else, and It's pretty funny to be standing, facing the TV cause we can't afford flags yet, and pledging alligance. IT's pretty funny, even more so then just the teacher doing it.

  10. obligitory... on IBM Introduces Petabyte-Capacity 'Storage Tank' · · Score: 1

    Imagine a Beowulf cluster of storage tanks!

  11. The ancient... on What's the Oldest Hardware You are Still Using? · · Score: 1

    Serial Mouse. The right click doesn't always work, but I can't find a replacement for the old computer it is attached to. Anyone selling optical serial mouses these days?

  12. Re:One of my favorites on IE Vulnerabilities Page Removed · · Score: 1

    That hasn't stopped IE from being the dominant browser.

  13. Re:Yowza... on Wizards And Pokemon Face Off Over CCG · · Score: 1

    You forgot the coin flip. WoTC - 60HP Lawsuit Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 40 damage. If tails, Lawsuit does no damage, and WoTC is confused.

  14. Slashdot said it best on MS Dissatisfaction High, Users Consider Switching · · Score: 1

    in regards to the slashdot poll. I think it applies here.
    This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.
    So I personally will be migrating to Cowboy Neal 7 very soon.

  15. Re:paranoia strikes again on U.S. Lists Web Sites as Terrorist Organizations · · Score: 1

    I don't know, putting a link on slashdot might restrict access for a while...

  16. Re:Not gonna help... on Possible PS2 Price Portent Pondered · · Score: 1

    While the gamecube has a kiddy reputation, I don't think Rogue Squadrons II and III, F-zero, Viewtiful Joe, and Metroid Prime are kiddy games. Nothing competes with Viewtiful Joe in the beat em up department these days. Nothing. I'm buying a gamecube just for that.

  17. Re:Sad on Parents Sue School Over Use of Wi-Fi Network · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You obviously haven't attended school in a while. This will probably get them a referendum to pay for the defense, as well as a hefty bonus for the superintendent who "saved the gift of technology for our children." Unfortunetly, the schools themselves get nothing but wifi.
    Imagine 30 1st graders with laptops and 1 teacher. Or, imagine a beowulf cluster of broken laptops with snot on them, it's the same thing.

  18. Re:Or they could learn..... on SunnComm Says Pointing to Shift Key 'Possible Felony' · · Score: 1

    That's only because the research department IS a dmca violation! Get with the times, please.

  19. Re:For IM... on Top 10 Software Titles Every Home PC Needs? · · Score: 1

    For instant messaging, I'd go with gaim. Its ability to let you talk to people while leaving an away message up is a lifesaver for avoiding ex-girlfriends.
    This is a family situation. I doubt he needs to dodge ex-girlfriends. Also, this is a family situation on slashdot, which means there most likely are no ex-girlfriends to speak of.
    Use gaim though.

  20. I love America. on Spoofed From: Prevention · · Score: 2, Insightful

    am considering taking out a defensive patent on this architecture for exactly one reason: I don't want to get sued for infringing someone else's patent, bogus or not. Patent it, then declare it public domain, and we sidestep a a quagmire of Intellectual Property issues. A patent will cost approx USD$10,000. If we can get ten major ISPs to contribute $1,000 each, we can jointly own the patent and guarantee there will be no legal liability. Contact me if you can help with this.
    Only in America do you have to patent something to put it into the public domain. Shouldn't that be free?

  21. Re:As long as you don't work at the post office... on Expensive Geek Toys Roundup · · Score: 1

    please... surely the counterstrike fan prefers an AK-47, or the P90. Pistol fan? Check it out.

  22. Magnum Ice on When Word Processors Are Out: What's The Best Pen? · · Score: 1

    For the geeks who want a pen in a large chamber, check out the Magnum Ice pens. It's good for those who prefer a larger sized pen, named after a high powered cartridge. Be a man, use a magnum pen. It's the most powerful pen known to man!

  23. Re:Safety reasons on Build Your Own Mortar · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I've messed around with potato guns before. I live in the city, so I shoot empty yogurt cups pretty far. There's some leftover carborateur (yes, spelled wrong) cleaner in the garage, and that stuff burns. Remote detonation is key, get some real long clamps or a lot of wire and a BBQ sparker, and don't let the cops see you do it.
    The barrel is 2 inches wide, but I don't think paper and yogurt cups could really destroy anything.
    And this needs to be said, forgive me.

    Imagine a Beowulf cluter of homemade mortars...
