  1. Re:This was reported on over a month ago on Happy Spamiversary! · · Score: 1

    Well, how many spam anniversaries can there be? March 5th, April 13th... What's next?

  2. This was reported on over a month ago on Happy Spamiversary! · · Score: 3, Informative

    Check this out. It was already reported on. The first Canter & Siegel spam was sent out on March 5th, 1994. You can see that in the article and on Wikipedia.

  3. WTF on Installing Linux on a Dead Badger · · Score: 1

    What the fuck is this? Who let this go by? Oh, Michael, right. The last bastion of stupid, worthless information. Why is there a penguin there? The foot should be the icon for this thing. Unreal. Worst story ever on /. Can anyone find one worse?

  4. Re:Obligatory Futurama Reference on Death by Coffee? · · Score: 1

    When Frye hit the 100th cup, he viewed everything in super slow motion, was able to save everyone at a banquet, and extinguish a fire, all in a split second. Very Matrix-ey

  5. Re:Frist Prost on Getting Started with Lego Trains · · Score: 1

    So you're not reading for leisure now? I hate first posts too, but...uh...this is an article on Legos. Unless you're a book publisher or work for Lego, you pretty much have to browsing this on your own leisure time.

    An SS motto as your signature...odd...

  7. 10Gbps over Cat5e on Good News From The High-Speed Networking Front · · Score: 2, Funny

    Max cable length between nodes: 17 inches.

  8. Type on Spyware on One in Twenty Computers? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Isn't that supposed to be 1 in 20 WITHOUT spyware?

  9. Re:Interesting... on How We Knew AL00667 Would Miss Earth · · Score: 1

    you'd have to be relatively close to this thing to die blissfully. It was only 30m in diameter, and would not have had any huge global impacts (pun not intended...ok..yes it was). My question...Why couldn't a patriot missile take care of this type of thing. If they actually do find a similar sized object and can predict where it enters the atmosphere, couldn't we just send a Mach 5 missile up there to hunt it down and blow it all to hell?

  10. Re:"Looks like mud, but it can't be mud" ??? on Mars Rover Sniffs First Hint of Water? · · Score: 1

    Wow. Ok, genius...explain how there is ICE ON MARS! You're a legend in your own mind, aren't you? See sig...applies to you...

  11. Re:This Just In on Mars Rover Sniffs First Hint of Water? · · Score: 1

    Wonder if the figured that out by measuring the water vapor left over from the polar lander after it crashed and burned.

    That sounds more like a sig than a comment! waiting for my 20 seconds to be up... waiting..... waiting... waiting...... still waiti-(end transmission)

    Someone HAD to bring Darwin into this! I agree (seriously, I do). Can we also say that the martians who ransacked the Beagle 2 are actually descendants of space gorillas?

  14. Re:intrigue on Mars Rover Sniffs First Hint of Water? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This also means that the likelihood of finding mud is a tad on the remote side, seeing as how mud is dirt with liquid water in it.

  15. Re:intrigue on Mars Rover Sniffs First Hint of Water? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm guessing that its more of a simple issue of temperature. The rover is currently operating in -19degs F.

  16. Re:Why did you post jodi.org on Your Favorite Net.Art? · · Score: 1

    Don't waste your time. Every one of these sites suck. How is any of this art? I mean, come on, a 404 error in a big system font with a blinking square on the bottom...creative, perhaps, art - absolutely not. And the other sites - whoa...excessive backgrounds with low-res images in them, a way too huge image-map that is damn near unreadable? This is not cool, not art, not anything but crappy web design. Unfortunately WhosWe isn't around anymore, but if you can dig them up on archive.org, you'd see a site that is ART.

    Awesome point! Somebody mod this guy up!

  18. Re:Check the links, editors on Colorization of Mars Images? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Right on! And, as we all know, the Martian sky is green. This can be explained by the dust left over from all the money that we've crashed or otherwise blown in past missions on Mars.

  19. Re:Check the links, editors on Colorization of Mars Images? · · Score: 5, Informative

    They do that so that different elements of the image can be more easily identified, not to make things prettier. It does make for some very impressive images, but that isn't the point.

  20. Re:Dear Apple: why? on HP Licenses Apple's iPod & iTMS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Apple will certainly benefit from this... Many people that aren't "in the know" would write off the iPod as an Apple product that isn't compatible with the PC. Now they get to position their product to another group of people. Let's not forget about the old-timers ("bah, HP's been around longer than Apple, so the HP product must be better!"). They'll be transformed, too.

    Hmm. Yes. I've done that... And while my AP is the preferred network on my laptop, the other networks get picked up if, say, my linksys locks up.

    Pringles can? Kidding...(but it would be cool). Just get it as close to the outside wall as you can, by a window is even better.

    Not me! The second I fired up my AP I had people in. Not even 5 minutes without WEP and 2 addresses doled out to machines not in my place.

    What I find pretty amazing is the 500+ people with the default SSID. It's like my apartment complex...if I'm not careful, I can get on one of three different networks and not know it!
