  1. exoctic wood? on Exotic Wood Computer Cases · · Score: 2, Funny

    pft, i'm waiting for the endangered species line of computer cases... they are much more vogue. The bengal tiger case is to die for!

  2. accurate numbers? on 2003 CD Sales Officially Down 7.6 Percent · · Score: 1

    These numbers I'm sure don't include sales by independant labels. I'd be curious to know how much their sales have changed recently. I'm not surprised CD sales are down from the major labels... have you heard the stuff they're selling? Independant labels are where you find the the real deal IMHO.

  3. regfree link on Are Computers Ready to Create Mathematical Proofs? · · Score: 3, Informative
  4. what is a puppeteer? on Scifi Channel to Make Ringworld Miniseries · · Score: 0
  5. automated off road driving on Automobiles Evolve to Live Up to Their Name · · Score: 0

    If full automation is the goal then will off-road driving be covered by all the automation in the future? Farmers (as an example) drive around their fields where there is no predetermined path, so if a car was programmed to look for roads and the usual types of objects then they for one would be out of luck.

  6. Re:What about this? on Little Robots Play Soccer · · Score: 0

    At first I thought that's a pretty cool robot then as I watched additional videos the thought of it being a fake became more apparent. The video of the robot stopping the car as it was headed toward a wall at a decent speed totally gave it away though. Part of me wanted that robot to be real. :)

  7. Re:not the same benefit as a normal book on How The Web Ruined The Encyclopedia Business · · Score: 0

    Yes, I didn't say people don't do it, which is why i said generally. I've sat down and read encyclopedias as well, but in most cases you go to them as a reference only.

  8. not the same benefit as a normal book on How The Web Ruined The Encyclopedia Business · · Score: 0

    Encylopedias aren't generally something you sit down to read like a normal book, so the usual benefits of a hard copy don't seem to apply. Searching for an answer on the web is faster, more convenient and more interactive than having to search through an actual hard copy version of an encyclopedia.

  9. Good at first... on Skywalker Ranch Wines · · Score: -1, Redundant

    but the quality of subsequent crops will probably get worse and worse.

  10. thank god for that high res pic on The Galaxy's Largest Diamond · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is the high resolution image for the women?

  11. Re:in soviet russia... on Hack Your Car · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Only a 1 for funny?!? Nice family guy reference! :)

  12. Re:If it is by invitation only... on Orkut Goes Dark, At Least For A Bit · · Score: 1
    From the initial posting of this...
    An initial 12,000 invitations were sent out, and new users can only join through an existing user.
    Not sure how the initial 12,000 were picked though.
  13. no perl thanks on Perl Haiku Poetry Contest · · Score: 0, Troll

    must write perl haiku
    but to me this lang is poo
    python better glue!

  14. microsoft linux on Universities Dispute with Red Hat over 'Fedora' · · Score: 1

    Go microsoft linux! Fight the man!

  15. who's selling? on South Korea Plans National 100 Mbps Network · · Score: 1

    So which telecom stock do I put my money into?

    Remove the spaces from the urls, I don't know why they're there.

  17. seeing double on Superfast Optically-Based DSP Announced · · Score: 1

    Wow, the light and mirrors in this chip can even produce duplicate slashdot postings!

  18. bittorrent link to 25min movie on Initial Half-Life 2 Benchmarks Released · · Score: 1

    Here's a bittorrent link to the huge 25min in game movie
