  1. And To Think I Had Aspirations of Geekdom on Second Life Hits 100,000 Users · · Score: 1

    Let's see, 4 hours daily playing game in a lonely room, 8-10 hours sleep, 8 hours work (lol), 2 hours meals. Getting a life: Priceless

  2. Re:Wait, who said on Windows, Linux 25 Year Old "Clunkers"? · · Score: 1

    I wonder if this guy has a girlfriend?

  3. It works for me. on How Do You Deal with Depression Around Christmas? · · Score: 1

    Get Loaded, get laid.

  4. Re:AI Has Been Solved on Humanoid Robot KHR-1 SDK Released · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but, Terminator started with the premise that all the computers in the world were all hooked together at a single point in time and achieved AI on there own. I'm stocking up on weapons as we speak.

  5. Re:iPAQ on Seeking a Good eBook Reading Device? · · Score: 1

    I am a voracious reader and don't want to store books in my apartment. I have been reading on a PDA since my first Handspring DX. Then I got a CLIE , then another and then moved to PPC. I now have an IPaq 4705 and I think it's great. BTW I have over 1500 books in my library. Where would you put 1500 books?

  6. Re:Collapse? Apple may triumph after all on Microsoft: The Faint Smell of Rot · · Score: 1

    I don't have the specific site but I read this AM that 2-3 computer companies (one of which is Sony) is in talks with Jobs to license OS X for use on their boxes. It sounds like a good idea to me and one that MS followed long ago to become the bloated giant that it is today. If Apple licenses the OS it will make money the way they do best. They are an IDEA company.

  7. Re:How many movies, MP3s can one possibly use? on Hitachi to Release Half TB Drive Soon · · Score: 1

    yeah, that's what I said. I was playing CD's and my son bought me a Creative Zen 60Gb player and now I can walk around with all my CD's in a palm sized box. Yay for progress!!!

  8. Re:Awesome on Japan Pins Tourism Hopes on PDA · · Score: 1

    I have not gone to Nippon as of yet, but I am listed on a dating service on line and the Asian women all want Caucasian men.

  9. Re:Rutan is my hero. on Burt Rutan On Future Of SpaceShipOne (and Two) · · Score: 1

    Yeh, he's my hero too, but the magazine wants to keep on the good side of the administration. I guess no one's immune from censorship these days. After all, all they could get from Rutan is a ride.

  10. Re:500... on TV Over Phone Lines To Arrive In 2005 · · Score: 1

    Except for my NetFlix Movies (which I backed up in case something went wrong HAH!) I haven't watched TV in weeks. Marx was wrong, television is the true opiate of the masses.

  11. Re:James Cameron is the director of Aliens on James Cameron Guest Edits Wired Magazine · · Score: 1

    Damn, that was a pisser. Wish I'd thought of it.

  12. Re:Nice! on Northern Lights Goes Nuts In Nebraska · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't know if many Slashdotters know it but the Japanese believe that conceiving a child under the Northern Lights is a good luck thing. It seems that travel companies book tours to Alaska just for this reason.

  13. Re:In the Money on RFID Labels On Prescription Drug Bottles · · Score: 1

    I'm a pharmacist and although I'm not a big fan of RFID in general this a great idea. If the info could be hooked up to the pharmacies computer, registering item, bottle size, strength etc. it would make for fantastic quality control. Think of it, a pharmacist could use the wand to double check that the right drug and strength were dispensed making for much fewer dispensing errors. We actually take CE courses in eliminating errors.

  14. Re:Not true on DIY LED-Illuminated Sleep Chamber · · Score: 1

    Yeah, building led displays and playing C64 games always gets you laid. As opposed to going out for dinner and a movie. God, do you people actually believe the things that are written here!

  15. Re:Illegal if you don't have a Windows license on Opera Facing Losses While Firefox Usage Grows · · Score: 1

    I've been around computers for A LONG TIME ( geezer alert ) and switched to Firefox a while ago. I still use IE occasionally if I have to, but not willingly. It is so much more pleasant, secure, useful etc. than IE that I don't want to use IE at all. In fact I got my kids ( 4, allgrown ) to use Firefox because of what I told them that IE's faults were.

  16. Re:The codename for the 747s on Boeing Successfully Tests Anti-Missile Laser · · Score: 1

    Sung by Bill Murry, " Star Wars, Nothing but Star Wars.... "

  17. Re:possibilities for hearing impaired? on Waterproof MP3 Player Uses Bone Conduction · · Score: 1

    This has been used already for hearing impairment. The equipment was kludgy however and didn't get widespread use. New tech however may make it popular again with less noticable transducers.

  18. Re:Saturation on Sharp Plans To Pull Zaurus From U.S. Market · · Score: 2, Informative

    My Dell Axim 5 adv. died today after 3 years of daily service. I'm scrambling to buy a new PPC because I need one every day. I'm a pharmacist and I have 2 databases on it:ePocrates and Tarascon on it, I read books whenever I get the chance using MobiPocket or Windows Reader or sometimes PalmReaderPro. Sometimes I'll play the odd game of Go, Scrabble or Uno. Not to mention I use it for PIM, birthdays and anniversaries.

  19. Re:(roughly $345 in current dollars!) on Transistor Radio Turns 50 · · Score: 1

    When I graduated from grade school (don't ask, I'm older than dirt) my parents gave me a transistor radio as a gift. Yes, it was exactly like the Ipod today.

  20. Re:This is good news, but I would prefer Firefly on Farscape Returns Sunday · · Score: 1

    I hope the movie and fan reaction (buying tickets) puts the idea in the heads of the money men. I didn't watch it much when it was on TV, but I bought the DVD collection and couldn't put it down.

  21. Four dead in Ohio on Police Disperse Bush Protesters with Pepper Paintballs · · Score: 1

    Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming, Four dead in Ohio

  22. Re:Energy Conversion on Air Force Researching Antimatter Weapons · · Score: 1

    Holy Crap! Don't tell Dan Brown about this! Oh, never mind.

  23. Re:Why was it cancelled? on Upcoming Firefly Movie Behind-the-Scenes Photos · · Score: 1

    Good shows are cancelled because Hollywood doesn't know bullocks about how to nuture a show. Seinfeld didn't make a hit for almost two years. it got shuffled around until it finally got big. BTW I think, with new tech such as shooting with tape instead of film which cuts costs, Someone should starting straight to disk films and let the market place for them shoot it out.

  24. Re:Fox is Evil. on Upcoming Firefly Movie Behind-the-Scenes Photos · · Score: 1

    I'm ashamed to say I never watched the series on TV but I rented the first DVD of the complete series and liked it so much I bought the boxed set. It works like a 9 hour movie.

  25. Re:What about the publicity? on Upcoming Firefly Movie Behind-the-Scenes Photos · · Score: 1

    I once met the president of Universal at a cocktail party and he seemed to be able to pick quality as much as I could bight myself on the ass.
