  1. Re:UI Inconsistencies, Annoyances on What Keeps You Off of Windows? · · Score: 1

    > I know that already. Why does it need to tell me? Because 9 times out of ten, the windows user at her desktop throwing her purse under the desk and knocking her ethernet cable out of the wall does *not* know that already.

  2. Whoa. on Do-It-Yourself VOIP Telco · · Score: 1

    This is, by far, the greatest comment I've ever read on slashdot.

    American Cheese?

  4. Alpine has it - Control through the head unit on iPod Mini Custom Installation In A Ford Explorer · · Score: 4, Informative

    Visit Here for a press release. The unit will be available later this year. It integrates all control through the head unit, via the dock connector. You can tuck the iPod away inside the glove box. Still requires you to take your eyes off the road and look at the display of the receiver, however. Until Alpine comes out with an easy-to-install aftermarket heads-up-display...

    Or it could be pigeons, like in the Outback Steakhouse commercial... (Guy dumps crumbs all over keyboard, opens window, boss thinks typing - guy is eating steak at Outback)

  6. Re:Killing comics on Stan Lee: The Rise and Fall of The American Comic Book · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well, haven't we already seen the benefits and flaws of distributing comics online? There are thousands of online webcomics, by both amateur and professional artists, but none of them can make a profit. It seems every time I visit a webcomic, I see a "Donate via Paypal!" link somewhere on the site. The freedom of the internet brings the same penalty to comics as it does to music - why pay for something, when I can find something equally entertaining that is completely free, regardless of legality? Inventing an Internet distribution method brings about the same exact issues people fight about with the RIAA - How do you enforce the copyright the author and publisher are legally entitled to, while letting users have free access to the media they have rightfully paid for? Electronic distribution won't be replacing ink on paper anytime soon. At the same time, users are going to continue to enjoy free online content and force printed material sales to dwindle. The solution isn't to bypass the problem - instead, attack the stigma head on. Don't create a new distribution mechanism, just rethinking the marketing and draw new customers without reinventing the wheel.

  7. Re:IPv6? on Auerbach on Internet Cruft · · Score: 0

    Hopefully IPv6 will provide greater flexibility in declaring address space as garbage. Instead of being forced to reuse addresse (leaving new hosts listening to ancient requests), we should be able to route large chunks of IPv6 space to the bit bucket in the sky - without fear of blocking legitimate requests, at least for the next 584 billion years.

    ... for extremely large values of 1.

  9. This just announced... on Cloning Yields Human-Rabbit Hybrid Embryo · · Score: 1

    SCO has has announced final termination of all Chinese hybrid embryo licensing. All rabbit-human hybrids must pay $699 to continue licensing their DNA code or face legal actions.
