  1. Re:Links don't stand out on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    Looks like your wish came true! I for one am very happy they brought them back. I found myself getting distracted trying to find the links every time.

  2. Stolen cars of the "future" on New Cars Vulnerable To Wireless Theft · · Score: 1

    I for one will never be caught driving a Gibson...

  3. Re:Fuck's Great Comeback on Google Books Makes a Word Cloud of Human History · · Score: 1

    http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=yahoo&year_start=1800&year_end=2008&corpus=0&smoothing=2
    Yahoo was also very popular back in the early 1800's and fell our of favor just the same.

  4. Re:Great idea. on Facebook Introduces One-Time Passwords · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What happens when your phone gets stolen? I wouldn't them to have my phone and access to things like my email and facebook, let alone my credit cards and bank accounts. This seems even more risky considering the chance most smart phones could be hacked or some app on the phone turns out to be malicious.

  5. Re:Oh goody on Net Neutrality Suffers Major Setback · · Score: 1

    Internet communication is all via tubes... I clearly stand behind the US Court of Appeals.

  6. Re:Sprint subscribers beware on Google Voice Now Works WIth Existing Mobile Numbers · · Score: 1, Informative

    I can confirm that Sprint is still charging (at least in the New England area).

    A friend turned it on for his phone and sent a test message, successfully made it through, and was transcribed to his email. We did notice that there are an extra few rings before VM picks up because Sprint is forwarding on to the new number.

    After a while, the charges did show up in his account on sprints website at 20 cents a pop.

    Hope this helps!

  7. Soon to be followed by... on New Law Will Require Camera Phones To "Click" · · Score: 1, Funny

    A high pitch noise whenever the mic is turned on.

  8. Re:Side Effect on Bacteria Eat Styrofoam · · Score: 0

    Hey, if you put some BBQ sauce or some A1 on it, I will eat it too. I don't shit out lead either.

  9. The answer is so simple! on Why Do People Switch To Linux? · · Score: 0

    No matter what people tell you, they all do it for the same reason...

    Chicks totally dig linux. We all did it for the babes!

  10. Re:I hack... on Hacking - Art or Science? · · Score: 0

    I think it can be more 'artfully' stated: bool ihack = true ; struct person* me ; if(ihack) me = malloc(sizeof(struct person)) ; else me = NULL ; Please disregaurd that my heap may be busted...

  11. Re:great, another point of failure on Mazda Switches To USB Keys · · Score: 0

    The key can also be used to transfer things like driving instructions or music to the car's hard drive. As well as viruses! And how hard is it to make a copy of your key? This also means a great deal more training for computer illiterate valets...

  12. Selling a piece of the PI on Google Files to Sell 14.2 Million More Shares · · Score: 0

    Apparently they are offering 14.159265 million shares... and if you dont see the connection, pi is 3.1459265 (take off the 3. and put a . in after 14). Just something interesting I found that I would relay along.

  13. Re:Why I still use Mozilla... on Mozilla 1.7.5 Released · · Score: 0

    You can hit control+J to get to the search box in firefox, but I cant help you about the small size..

    Good find!

  15. Re:Battery replacement on iPod's Two-Year Anniversary · · Score: 1

    It is actually the post above :/
    Shame on my slow typing...

  16. Battery replacement on iPod's Two-Year Anniversary · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Has anyone seen the video of a guy who called about getting his battery replaced and they just told him it is cheaper to get a new iPod?
    I cant find the link now, but if I do I will add it on.
    I was just wondering if anyone has had similar experiences or know if the battery is easily replaced?

  17. Re:Rules on Web 'Rules' Changing? · · Score: 1

    That would be too obvious!

    Logically, we should spend a few hundred thousand of our tax dollars to have those claims validated!

  18. There were never any rules on Web 'Rules' Changing? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I don't think there were ever any rules, just common convention. I mean, any good designer should keep all of these things in mind because they make sense, even some of the ones from the government... In the end the only thing that really matters is that Al Gore invented the internet and we should do as the government tells us! I wish Bush could set some rules, that would really make my day.

  19. No Turkey is probably good on Eating in Space · · Score: 3, Funny

    I wonder if they would complain about the Turkey being dry up there too..

  20. **Correction on Bombardier's Embrio: Sexier Segway? · · Score: 1

    I was just reading, and I am not sure about all of the models, but the orginal didn't top out at 6mph, I remember it being 12.5. As a New Hampshire resident I have to defend the good ol' Segway ;)

  21. Re:Complete Irony... on Open Source Database Clusters? · · Score: 1

    I was aware it wasnt running and that it had no relevance to this exact article, but I just found it to be a funny coincidance. Sorry to bother you...

  22. Complete Irony... on Open Source Database Clusters? · · Score: 1
