  1. Re:Just think... on $25,000 of Communications Gear In a $500 Car · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's actually another feature; Smoke signals.

  2. Solution on For New Zealanders, No More Phones As Sat-Nav Devices · · Score: 1

    I used a simple solution to the cellphone problem. When I heard about his law change I decided it was time to buy a laptop and use that for texting instead, as a bonus I'm posting on Slashdot right now as I'm driving home from work. Although i must admit navigating my iTunes library while driving can be a bit scary for passengers.

  3. Re:Turbo Boost technology? on Intel Core i7 For Laptops — First Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    Hay it was good enough back in '89 on our 386 machines, it's good enough for now.

  4. Re:question... on Highly-Paid Developers As ScrumMasters? · · Score: 1

    What a great metric to measure code by, I wish I could say that I once wrote one million lines of code in a day, in the deleted direction.

  5. See also... on Pogo-Style Robot Legs Allow 9-Foot Bounces · · Score: 1

    http://www.bpmlegal.com/wpogo.html Gas powered pogo, I'm sure that sounded like a good idea at the time, I mean what could possibly go wrong?

  6. Re:You mean on How To Build a 100,000-Port Ethernet Switch · · Score: 1

    I'm curious as to how you came up with a figure of 33,334. The back of my envelop shows 16,668. This figure assumes they are 8 port switches. (And about the same number of cables needed to hook them all together)

  7. Links on A History of Rogue · · Score: 1

    Ok here we go, first wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_(computer_game)
    Then for source http://rogue.rogueforge.net/
    and for windows (or dos) users, the original pc port http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/download/game/176
    and lastest development as at 2008 http://www.freewebs.com/drussell/ClassicRogue.htm

    I've been playing this game for nearly 20 years since my cousin introduced me to it on an old 286, scary thing is it still runs fine today under windows xp. Long live x86 I guess. And I still haven't beaten it...

  8. Error: Does not compute... on You Are Not a Lawyer · · Score: 1

    You say you are a lawyer but your username is TenDollarMan? Something doesn't make sense here.

  9. My Guess would be... on Slashdot.org Self-Slashdotted · · Score: 2, Funny

    I fully believe the switches in that cabinet are still sitting there attempting to send 20Gbit/sec of traffic out trying to do something - I just don't know what yet.

    Um, trying to get first post?

  10. I think you mean cylindrical... on Teacher Sells Ads On Tests · · Score: 1

    Either that or you really should get that checked out by a doctor.

  11. Re:warning labels on New 4100 Lumen Flashlight Can Set Things On Fire · · Score: 1

    What about F: attatch a sign that reads "do not look into laser with remaining eye"

  12. Re:In Soviet Russia on The Return of Toys · · Score: 1

    You've never had to drive a lada have you?

  13. Re:greater or lesser evil on Google Under Fire Over Racist Blogs · · Score: 1
    To add to this:
    Mr Beckett hasn't visited Red Watch NZ or Patriot Alliance Downunder, but, based on our description of the blogs, he said their actions were probably in violation of Australian law.
    Having searched out the said blogs (ironically from googles cache) I think the article blows thing out of proportion, true tabloid style. I recomend readers to do their homework and not just take the article at face value. NOTE: I do not support the views expressed in their blogs.
  14. Quit your bitching on The Myth of the 40 Hour Game · · Score: 1

    I'm still stuck in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike. You insensitive clod.
