  1. John Hartford on The Good Old Days..... · · Score: 1

    Is this an allusion to John Hartford's genius, "Back in the Good Ol' Days"?

    If it is...holy god.

  2. Likely..... on AOL-TW Merger: FCC May Require AIM Compatibility · · Score: 1

    It's probably likely that they'll make it interoperable with yahoo chat or something no one uses.

  3. Re:In a word? on Has The Internet Peaked? · · Score: 1

    Well.....isnt IPv6 a refinery of IPv4? I think we are now just refining what we've got.

  4. Re:We had a similar thing in Sweden. on Fabulous Prize: A Trip To The Intl. Space Station · · Score: 1

    Actually,
    If you had read the article, every contestant that boards and goes into space for 8 days, comes home a millionaire. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.

  5. What if.... on SmartFilter: Way Too Extreme · · Score: 1

    Smartfilter blocked every website and blocked the internet! Then Smartfilter conquered the world and no one could access the internet! Arghh matee!

  6. Netscape on Mozilla .6 Released · · Score: 1

    If Netscape and Mozilla ran at some speed uncomparable to a "cooter", it might be acceptable.

    Although, I guess I shouldn't be complaining so much yet. I should wait until a more final product for evaluation.

  7. Logical. on 100Mbps Internet Access For $1000 Per Month · · Score: 1

    I'd just use a phone like. 56k is all one person needs. Sometimes I like to use the 14.4. Some other times I'll even hack my modem to get a lower bps....like once my max bps was .009975.

    Just use a phone line...

  8. FMD on Floppy CDs And DVDs? · · Score: 1

    Hell, I just want the FMD. Go FMD...

  9. Alternative root systems on When Worlds Collide: The New Dot-Biz And The Old · · Score: 1

    Alternative root systems are a nice alternative. I think it would be practical if any suffix was available as a domain. It might be more confusing, sure, but it would make people happy and names would never be used up since they would be multifaceted (eg. ross.com ross.ross ross.cool ross.yeti ross.irc ross.sil ross.silly). The list goes on to infinite(not that infinite is a place or anything :)

  10. Re:sweet jesus on The Ultimate Video Game Library up for Auction · · Score: 1

    "one of my friends has been collecting video games for quite some time, and his collection dwarfs this one..."

    The above statement implies that your friend's collection is much larger than the one in the auction. Are you sure you got your grammar right?

  11. Re:Legit? on The Ultimate Video Game Library up for Auction · · Score: 1

    Enjoy looking at game cartridges and consoles? Holy crap...that would be so amazing...those beautiful pieces of art. Much more beautiful than a Van Gogh, Monet, or Matisse.

  12. Re:Digital "Film"? on Digital Movies and The Big Screen · · Score: 1

    Yes, maybe. However, tape is nothing like film and film cannot be replicated.

  13. May sounds mean... on Tracking The Status Of Popular Websites? · · Score: 1

    This may sound mean, but I think that this is a seriously dumb idea. Who really cares if CNN.com is up or not? Go to ABC.com or MSNBC.com or some other major news website. Does this really matter?

  14. Digital "Film"? on Digital Movies and The Big Screen · · Score: 1

    I think the move to digital "film" is one of America's greatest tragedies. First of all, there is no such thing as digital "film" as it exists on a hard drive. Sure digital looks neat and is easier to edit, but it does not even touch the quality and realness of actual film. I think the smarter and devoted film makers will definately stick with film, but if giants like George Lucas move to digital, how will this shape theatres today? Will we be seeing more mainstream filmmakers moving to digital? If so, we may not be seeing many indy films for awhile because theatres will change. I think it is mainly a hype thing. Everyone is wanting something new and supposedly "improved". The next step is when NYU film school starts teaching digital. It is, definately sad.

  15. Aleins on Alien Life Found On Earth? · · Score: 1

    This is OBVIOUSLY not a true finding. EVERYBODY knows aliens are big, green, and ugly. Sigh.....scientists always seem to botch things up. This time, they really screwed up.

  16. holy..... on Sleeplessness Impairs Memory · · Score: 1

    holy crap im tired.....
    yawn x 6.02 x 10^23

    it's odd how I ALWAYS comment to people about my lack of memory and how I "dont" have a memory. I now know the answer. i am appalled.

  17. A dream...... on New Baby in the Torvalds Home · · Score: 1

    It would be great if Linus got his wife pregneant again, tonight. HA!

  18. ProcessTree on ProcessTree Gets Its First (Paying) Client · · Score: 1

    The only downside to the project...they contact you when they need your processing...you're not always processing....if you are out looking for some extra cash...dont count on it.

  19. Confusing on ICANN Selects New Top Level Domains · · Score: 1

    I think alot of people are going to get quite confused buy all these new TLD's....it's jsut more crap to memorize and remember.

  20. Yessss on Controlling Space Satellites · · Score: 1

    "...internet servers will blast-off into space for the first time on Thursday ..."

    I've always wanted to see my personal debian box fly into space with its own rocket boosters. Imagine your server with rocket boosters flying in space! I'd like to see an NT station versus a UNIX station in space....with rocket boosters!

  21. I feel.... on Has Netscape's Browser Become Too Self-Serving? · · Score: 1

    Sure I feel that Netscape is being greedy, but it's not like they are going to come to a revelation and realize they're mistakes. If they're greedy from the start, it only gets worse. I'm curious...how much money did Netscape pay for Mozilla technology? Might they still be paying Mozilla for the code....monthly?

  22. If only... on 120 Gigabit Pipe To Oz Begins Operation · · Score: 3

    If I were in charge I'd just connect a long phone line.

  23. Banana Republic on Slashback: Election, Election, Election · · Score: 1

    A friend in Sweden tells me that the U.S.A. is now being referred to as the B.R.A., the Banana Republic of America

    what?!?

    I know it is not relevant, but I work at a Banana Republic store....heh.

  24. Re:What should I buy now that I can't get a V56K? on 3dfx Drops Video Card Division · · Score: 1

    I have a GeForce2 GTS and my card runs smooth as hell. Quake3, UT, Diablo or ANY other 3d game is easily handled but the GeForce. The drivers are very reliable and have often updates. I made my switch from a Voodoo 2 to a TNT2 last year and was very pleased. I immediately noticed higher frame rates and the eye candy was spectacular. I definately reccommend a GeForce2, it is a VERY good/reliable card.

  25. Very sad :/ on 3dfx Drops Video Card Division · · Score: 1

    This is very sad to see. 3dfx was a pioneer in 3d rendering technology. They helped the coming of Quake and the original 3d shooters. It's too bad they have to drop out. But I guess, whoever makes the best products wins huh? 3dfx did stop getting innovative there at the end....
