  1. Welp... on Dissecting U.S. Violent Game Bills · · Score: 1

    Thank god Im 21.... That and the fact that from what I see, its not illegal to GIVE The game to a minor... Here little timmy!! Go play the car thief! Dont forget to use the cheat codes to use the tank to blow up people! Thats important!

  2. I am happy with Office 2000 on Office 12 Exposed · · Score: 1

    And Office 2000 is happy with me... I don't need something "Fancy" to write out all my letters of hatred to Micro$oft for making five billion versions of the same damn operating system... You would think that they would at least TRY To focus on one to make it the "Ultimate" Version.. but no... I know why they did it.. they want to make a TON Of money on certifications.. Well Jee golly... I am happy with my MC$E For NT 4.0 and thats where I am staying! Update: Sorry.. Five Billion and ONE Versions... Dont want to misadvertise Micro$ofts Products...

  3. Boy... on The Electrocharger...Any Day Now? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I could sure use that... Darn Gas Prices..

  4. Definitely a Speed Upgrade... on Mozilla Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 Released · · Score: 1

    I really do notice the browsing speed upgrade.. as well as some major issues changed and resolved with div's and css's. I am very impressed so far with this beta.

  5. So wait a sec... on New Material Harder Than Diamond · · Score: 1

    Does this mean I have to replace my wifes diamond ring with this new material, so she can have something thats better than diamond? Joking aside, I would have to say the last four years alone, we have made more breakthroughs that actually MEANT something to our existance, and could be used to apply in the workfield, than we ever have in a long time.... I would really like to see further progression with this line of research... If something could be made thats stronger than this stuff... we should have the next wave of Ginsu knives showing late at night when we can't sleep, and find ourselves posting on slashdot at 4 am in the morning... Now that would be a deal!

  6. Google is on its way to Victory. on Has Google Peaked? · · Score: 1

    I hope Google makes it to the top. With a name like that, even Babies can pronounce it! With all jokes aside, Google has turned from being a decent search engine, to what a standard of search engines should be for all the others. I personally have Desktop 2 beta, Stayed up all night and pressed refresh on google.com/talk till I could download it, and I use google maps on a daily basis (I freak out my friends that are computer illiterate that I can watch them with google satellite maps).

  7. Hrm... on Usability Eye for The GIMP Guy · · Score: 1

    How can it be OpenUsability when we all Slashdot it?? : ) Oh well, Ive seen the site earlier in the week.. Id have to say that a GUI Interface is the most important piece for especially new people to a specific program. I use GIMP on a regular basis, and the "Usability" is pretty easy to Use! : )

  8. If all else fails, e107 isn't a bad idea... on Migrating from Mambo to Another CMS? · · Score: 1

    Like the subject says... if you really wanted to consider another CMS, I would recommend e107.. Not too sure if its going to help your database load, but its still very versatile. As per all the other replies, looks like a systems upgrade might be in order before you do consider another CMS.

  9. Re:The Freezer Gal on Forget Mars. Should We Go To The Moon? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    WHAT THE HECK!?!? Dude.. you are messed up

  10. Yeah.. Go to the moon... on Forget Mars. Should We Go To The Moon? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This story brings up a good point... I think we should go to the moon... Learn a lot more with todays science applied there.

  11. This story really is unuseful... on Installing Linux on a Dead Badger · · Score: 1

    Why do we have to be subjected to this nonsense..

  12. Yay! Another Website Claimed to /.!!! on Longhorn Skinning A Reality · · Score: 1

    Yes.. We pwn'd the skins website as well as took down the betairc.net website.. I wanted to see the darn skin! Grr.. anyone have another link to it?

  13. What in the world is this? on Penny Arcade Remixed By Japanese Students · · Score: 0

    I dont understand these strips.. maybe its funny in his neck of the world.. but I can't find any of this funny.. At all.. is that the point?

  14. Re:They had this info for years... on States Link Databases to Find Tax Cheats · · Score: 1

    But in our reality.. Only poor people have to pay taxes **Dodges troll mod**... Its a simple formula.. And the fact of the matter is... Taxes will never, EVER be equal... I will eat my own words when that day comes, and all of us pay equal ammount of taxes.. Its just funny, cause Rich people get the best damn tax breaks in the long run, and us poverty struck laid off ex Network Admins have to suffer not being in that bracket anymore.. Its to keep you as low as possible, so you pay more taxes... Question this if you want, but its true.. SOOO True..

  15. They had this info for years... on States Link Databases to Find Tax Cheats · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is just a new way to look at things.. Sure they are cross referencing peoples databases with other databases to see if you bought a car that is higher than on an average of what you make, but WHO CARES? Ya know? So what if people bought new cars mysteriously... I say the only reason the IRS Should care about taxes, is if you didn't file them in the first place... Besides.. Like I said in my subject, they had this info.. Just a new method of using it!

  16. Yay! Another April Fools Day Joke!! on People with real l337 speak names? · · Score: 1

    Ok.. Ok.. Ill play along.. 1337 names are extremely dull and boring.. besides.. you would have to be a 100% Certified NERD to do that.. See, Im a geek.. I am thinking of changing my name to something a little more classy... such as Neo.. Now that is an interesting name.. but calling someone h4xx0r Smith or maybe j4m3s Or something is rather stupid IMHO

  17. Re:a suggestion... on Developing Open Source Defense Projects · · Score: 1

    I posted a lot of really great articles, but found it quite funny that they didn't make it, especially when I had more content, then ended up being posted from someone else with like 1 link and 1 whole sentence... Im ranting.. oh well.. Im sure they had a reason to reject them.. but I agree with you, they should post like their most humorous ones...

  18. Nothing wrong with Visual Basic... on Rediscovering Your Inner Code Geek? · · Score: 2, Informative

    There are so many websites out there today that have free coding vaults for Visual Basic, as well as many other programming languages... if you really wanted to get back into the swing of programming, just start reading source code again, consider going to the library or a book store and pick up one of those "Weekend Crash Course" Books. I picked up CGI... and it really helped me.

  19. Re:Is this wrong? on Subdomains Part Of The Patent Frenzy · · Score: 1

    Nope.. I just did too.. but I posted the exact email I sent them on Slashdot.. they have no case.

  20. An Actual Email I Just Sent To Them on Subdomains Part Of The Patent Frenzy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actual Email sent to steven@ideaflood.com :

    The internet has had subdomains WAY BEFORE YOU FILED...

    You have no case... just like SCO.. wait.. I bet you too
    have linux running as your Server, dont you? Well if you
    can think that you will win with this patent, then you
    must think SCO has a case too.. better go get a license
    from SCO before you get sued as well!

    Also.. go ahead and try to sue me.. I need publicity..
    I have all sorts of subdomains.. Lets see.. www. for
    many of them, as well as irc. and main. and members.

    Yep.. Im guilty of an idea you didn't even think of
    yourself, and took someone elses idea, only because
    no one put a patent in.. because they are not dumb
    enough to actually try to patent an idea like that..

    Its a service on the internet, not a new wave of
    technology...

    The End...

  21. Who cares about Wind Waker... on Backward Compatibility in Next-Gen Consoles? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Who cares about that, when there are so many other games like the REAL Legend of Zelda for NES... Or how bout Super Mario Bros seen on Snes... Get backwards compatibility for that and I will buy Gamecube 2!!! They are forgetting the very reason why they are still in business...

  22. Re:howardforums on Do Working Cell Phone Demos Exist Anymore? · · Score: 1

    Personally I would suggest the LGVX 6000.. Theres so much to do with it (Its Verizon)... I posted a REALLY good hack on howardforums for the speakerphone mode..

  23. This is all you have to do... on Do Working Cell Phone Demos Exist Anymore? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Ask the person that is working if they can get a phone from their stock, power it up and show it to you... Simple as that.... Cell Phone Demo's are a waste of stock for them, and the only real time I have ever seen a demo, was when Sprint was introducing their new Camera Phone...

  24. ITS A PLOY!!! on U.S. Plans Targeted Draft for Computer Personnel · · Score: 1

    Its a ploy to kill all the known hackers!! They will put us in the front line... rid the US Of possible hackers!! I see right through them!! You will never take me!! NEVER!

    But.. Look on the bright side... Our general will be Linus!!!

  25. I Use a Non Internet Explorer for their surfing... on Protecting Our Parents' PCs? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I installed Mozilla Firebird on my parents computer which is also used by my sister.. Installed all the plugin's they could ever use, and so far, the only way unwanted programs pop up on their machine, is when my sister jumps on to internet explorer cause she gets some errors on sites that say "Internet explorer only!!!" Which is bull, cause I know Mozilla will support what they want, but due to crappy scripting on their javascript, it searches for browser names, not capability... So in conclusion, I would suggest using....

    Mozilla Firebird for Browsing
    Delete ALL Traces of Internet Explorer Icons
    Use Lavasoft Ad-Aware Personal Edition
    Use ZoneAlarm Personal Edition
    Invest a small bit of money into Norton Antivirus
    And above all.. Lock all active x stuff from emails if you still have them using Outlook from M$...
