  1. Good deal on NSLU2 Now More Useful · · Score: -1

    Newegg.com has a fantastic deal on these. Better than any price I found on pricewatch.com. Here it is:

  2. Underwhelming on Should Game Consoles Make Breakfast, Too? · · Score: -1

    Underwhelming response not necessarily due lack of interest, but rather lack of people willing to pay the hefty price.

  3. Any different? on Bridging the Digital Divide With PCtvt? · · Score: -1

    Is this any different than the ill-fated WebTV products we have over here? Even though those are dirt cheap, few people have any desire to own them...even the grandparents they are targeted at.

  4. Re:You know... on It's Just the 'internet' Now? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Alright punks - the reason I posted the link is so someone MIGHT read the damned thing. I meant it as a joke, but people want to make it personal now. Let me give a quote I am accused of not having:

    "The one thing that sustained him? 'The thought that some day I would come home and invent the Internet.'"

    Goes on...

    " 'I was pretty tired when I made that comment because I had been up very late the night before inventing the camcorder,' Gore told the Democratic National Committee on Saturday."

    He admitted to it in front of the fucking DNC so do I still not have a source?

  5. Re:You know... on It's Just the 'internet' Now? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Me = democrat = likes Gore + capable of making a joke next time I will put the smiley face so it is obvious...

  6. You know... on It's Just the 'internet' Now? · · Score: 1, Funny

    Al Gore invented the "Internet" so shouldn't we ask his permission before we change any names?

  7. Sweet on RGB to become RGBCMY · · Score: 0, Troll

    Steps towards more realistic pr0n are always welcome. :)

  8. Don't wanna deal w/ MS? on Hollywood afraid of Microsoft · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Simple. Don't buy into their DRM scheme. Release movies on the net with a proprietary or with another vendor's IP for DRM.

  9. Type of person on The Cost of Computer Naivete · · Score: 3, Funny

    The user here was probably the type of person that would love to see pics from MyParty! (.zip file attached)

  10. Re:Similar idea to what I wanted to try on The Cost of Computer Naivete · · Score: 1

    visit a frew pr0n sites with IE

    I have a multitude of suggestions for sites should you decide to tackle this project. :)

  11. Re:Cost? on Ultra Fast Disk Drives With No Moving Parts · · Score: 1

    Worse yet if this thing is built on flash memory how much is it going to cost in canada ?

    A lot.

  12. Cost? on Ultra Fast Disk Drives With No Moving Parts · · Score: 1

    Why is this so expensive when memory sticks are so much cheaper than this? And also, why support legacy form factors (I know, I know for compatibility) rather than innovate by taking advantage of small sizes flash memory can offer?

  13. How long... on U.S. Cancels Fusion Program · · Score: 1

    Until ventures such as these are privately funded? A private company with a LOT of monetary resources could stand to make a LOT more if you ask me.

  14. Re:Opera already does this. on Not Enough Ads? Install Adbar. · · Score: 1

    Because with this AdBar you are willingly putting ads in your browser. Opera doesnt give you a choice unless you register.

  15. I just invented something too on Not Enough Ads? Install Adbar. · · Score: 5, Funny

    I just invented a reverse TiVo. It extracts all the commercials from a given time slot for viewing at a later date! One at a time folks!

  16. Doesn't Always Work on Internet Publishing Can Pay Off · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Just look at when Stephen King tried to do a similar system with "The Plant." Sales were so abysmal that he didnt even finish it after writing a few parts.

    See the story http://slashdot.org/features/00/11/30/1238204.shtm l

  17. Game using engine is... on Life After Doom · · Score: 1

    Kings Quest 1,826

  18. What are the... on Gene Doping: Genetically Engineered Athletes · · Score: 1

    side effects? Seems to be the primary thing keeping people away from steroids, right? (except for those who buy into that whole "morality" thingie...)

  19. Re:The Point is NOT just for the human powered asp on Human-powered Helicopter Fails to Lift Off · · Score: 1

    Excellent point. Had not thought of that. Makes you wonder how long it will take until such parts reach production widespread.

  20. Re:Lucky British... on Digital Radio With Removable Flash Storage · · Score: 2, Funny

    same with Absolutely Fabulous...

    (shudder)

  21. Re:Alternative on Digital Radio With Removable Flash Storage · · Score: 1

    Thats not the exact one that I installed, but it is obviously the same idea. Maybe I'll go and check out your suggested one. Thanks for the response.

  22. Re:Lucky British... on Digital Radio With Removable Flash Storage · · Score: 1

    I cant read the article so i cant tell this, but is digital radio really the same as satellite? i didnt think so but im not an expert by any stretch. oh, and by the way, brits have a LOT of shit sitcoms too. :)

  23. Alternative on Digital Radio With Removable Flash Storage · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why can't you just do this with the Winamp plugin that records streams to mp3 files (forgot name, sorry) and then transfer to media card via film reader?

  24. Re:Point? on Human-powered Helicopter Fails to Lift Off · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, we in the US do not share your energy preservation ideas. We would much rather drive up the price of oil at an alarming rate. :)

  25. Re:Point? on Human-powered Helicopter Fails to Lift Off · · Score: 1

    because I look at it and go "damn, that would be quite the engineering accomplishment right there," because college isn't all about inventing things that need to be invented, it's about expanding the mind to accomplish abstract ideas

    Your post was excellently written and proves that mine incited the exact debate that I wanted. I just wanted to see how many people out there are still interested in doing something to do it, not for fame, etc. Personally, I feel that this would garner more merit were it done of someone's own volition instead of for prize money. However, I hate to say it, but I remain a naysayer - I do not think this will happen, and should it happen, would never become universally accepted. Pedal-cars exist now. How many people do you see pedalling down the street?
