  1. Re:Blank Reg on U.S. National Identity Cards All But Law · · Score: 1

    I've spent the last year of my life on drugs and alcohol, and I still don't think it's a good idea.

  2. Re:What's up with that comma, dude? on Making IE Standards Compliant · · Score: 1

    It looks as though he thought he was using a apositive, but was wrong.

    Example of an apositive:

    My dog, the big brown one, chased after the ball.

    It's where you add a descriptive phrase after the object it modifies, surrounded by commas. The commas written were incorrect and unnessecary, unless it would have provided a smooth flow when spoken, which it doesn't.

    I don't claim to be an English master (check my spelling?)

    But I do attend a public high school in Texas (I am correct :p); all of our English teachers aren't incompetant.

  3. Dynamic sites are not so easy to steal on Stop! Website Thief! · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Wouldn't this problem be easily avoided if you switched to a dynamic site? All of the pages I looked at were .html but if you were to use mySQL and php you could easily prevent anyone without server telnet access from stealing much else than your html outputted by the script.

    This sound right?

    They already function like a cluster. Each rack is connected by cable.

  5. Re:Euro on New Euro Coin Released With MultiView Effect · · Score: 1

    When I went to Japan, I got a much better exchange rate when I exchanged my US dollars for yen in Japan than my friend did when she exchanged hers here (Texas).

    Wow that was a long sentence.

  6. Sonic and Knucles on Sega Genesis Latest To Get All-In-One TV Game · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Slightly offtopic i think:

    Does anyone remember the game Sonic and Knuckles? I'd love to play that game again (mine was stolen ):
    For those of you that don't know, the game was a stand-alone game with this new Knuckles character, but you could flip open the top of the cartridge and plug in Sonic 2 or Sonic 3 and play those games as knuckles.Truly a wonder.
    Is it possible rip a ROM of that game and keep the functionality that it held?

  7. The Greatest Gift on Strangest Valentine's Day Gifts? · · Score: 5, Funny

    This year I got the same great gift my significant other has given me for the past 7 years:

    A night at home in front of glowing CRT =/

  9. Re:Death to magnetic stripes on Decode Your Barcode, Get Your Personal Info · · Score: 3, Funny

    Aww, I just looked on the back of my liscence and saw that it does have a barcode. I just ripped apart my new Harmon/Kardon speaker for nothing :(

  10. That's too bad. on Amazon To Comply With Kansas Sales Tax Law · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I hope Texas doesn't pick up on this an require sales tax on us. You can't beat no tax and free shipping on Amazon. They're prices are always decent.
    I also found it interesting that this article was written by my local newspaper. It's fun to see Fort Worth out in the world!

  11. Re:limits on U.S. Indicts Saudi Student For Website Contents · · Score: 1

    In the constitution it never says that the rights are given to citizens, but to any person within the geographical boundaries of the country.

    I would quote but it would require me to quote every instance of the word people. *shrug*

    Whether or not our best friends in the Bush machine will recognise this is another story.

  12. Native Japanese speakers on Useful English-Japanese Handheld Dictionaries? · · Score: 1

    I've taken three years of Japanese lessons at my (public) high school in Fort Worth, Texas. As you might expect from a Texas school, the class was very barebones. Our teacher had lived in Japan for four years as part of a military family, but her immersion classes hardly brought her close to fluency. But it was filled with eager students, so we've done alright. What I have done to learn Kanji, aside from my textbook and trusty pocket dictionary, is to find native Japanese speakers to help me out. I'm active in my city's local branch of Sister Cities International, and one of our cities is in Niigata, Japan. When we get potential visitors, they call my household and ask if we'd like to host a student or two. This way they get a free place to stay, and I can bug them about Japanese language. If something like this isn't possible, then you could find someone in your local that speaks it, either through a club, or maybe a restaurant and ask them if they can help teach you. This last summer I spent ten days in Japan, and in those ten days I learned 10 times as much as i learned in three years of a classroom.

  13. Re:Ask Slashdot: I'm not a business major, but... on Employee Patent Compensations? · · Score: 1

    My Uncle worked at DSC, now Alcatel, and when he invented an idea for software reverse-engineering (note, this idea is not related to telecommunication), on his own time, and begun before employment by DSC, they rewarded him with a large threat and later a pink slip. Then tried to sue him for it. Read on at Unixguru.com This has been going on in excess of four years, and, as you might imagine, has greatly deteriorated my respect for corporations. I would not treat your employer as a friend but, like Stienman said, as a potential customer.

  14. Picture Phones in Japan on First 1.1Mpixel 192MB SmartPhone · · Score: 1

    Am I mistaken, or hasn't Japan has more advanced picture phones much longer than us? IIRC, this last August when I was in Japan, my host sister bought a 1.3 megapixel phone. I hear about these new "most advanced" phones here, and I know I have seen this technologoy in Japan much earlier. I can personally vouch that they have had full color LCD screens since at least 2001. Or am I insane?
