  1. *ducks* on The Complicated Way to Turn on a Flashlight · · Score: 5, Funny

    You haven't heard the one about how many Purdue Society of Professional Engineers does it take to turn on a flashlight? :P

  2. Re:this is news ? on Caltech Pranks MIT's Prefrosh Weekend · · Score: 2, Funny

    No you dolt, it's the nerd Super Bowl. Soon we will have collegiate teams of geeks that contest with each other in great fashion like the other college sports..betting on such, making regional trees, ranks, etc :p

  3. Re:Sony never learns... on PSP Reception Lukewarm in US? · · Score: 1

    The reason why you've had these problems is because you've been using Sonicstage 2.x. Sonicstage 3 doesn't have any problems with trashed uploads anymore - in fact, neither does Sonicstage 2.3. Why don't you drop by my forums and start a thread and we'll diagnosis your woes.

    Your grammar is making me tear.

  6. Re:How could this biased article be posted? on How Sony's HD Audio Player Falls Short · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you actually READ the linked thread within the forum [head-fi], you'll see that another HD3 user discovers this. Additionally, he's using Japanese software on a English operating system! And you expect a real review? I can't believe this horrid review is being spread on the internet.

  7. How could this biased article be posted? on How Sony's HD Audio Player Falls Short · · Score: 5, Informative

    His device was defective. There is no background hiss with this device, but unfortunately, most people will not see my comment and believe the aforementioned review. It's truly idiotic how the internet can be at times..

    Do you understand the concept of bandwidth?

    At least we own the majority of the IP addresses! :)

    Ditto. You rock. ;)

    I think you're mistaken. It should be "a return". :)

  14. ha! on Orac^3 -- Not Your Everyday Casemod · · Score: 1

    Fools! Not even that progressive *.jpg's will help your server from getting destroyed. Slashdot should really consider mirroring [I know others do it, but come on slash] the sites it explodes, out of consideration. Oh well..

  15. Re:Why I Believe It's Rising on New Viruses Hit 30-Month High · · Score: 1

    OS flaws indeed, but people who are not keen on keeping their computers up to date/employing the correct software(s) is the true issue at hand.

  16. Well.. on Linksys WiFi Gateway Remote Attack Risk Discovered · · Score: 1

    Why don't they just make it RSA-key password encoded from the get-go that is automatically configured upon installation? Contest with me that this would be difficult to integrate. If people couldn't handle a random password that isn't as easy as "admin", then maybe they don't need a router in the first place.

    In all honesty, I hate routers, but that's because I work for a cable ISP as technical support. ;0

  17. Re:We just want it... on ExtremeTech Reviews Google's Gmail Beta · · Score: 1

    You seem to think that we're ALL mindless fanboys. Wait, we aren't?!

  18. Re:Don't worry too much on What Makes a Good CD/DVD Duplicator? · · Score: 1

    I was referring to the lifespan and reliability of CD's and HD. Optical technologies and the media within don't seem to reach obscurity at such a rate as CD/DVD/etc. Moot point regardless, as the science behind HD and optical media essentially borrow off of each other anyway.

  19. Re:Don't worry too much on What Makes a Good CD/DVD Duplicator? · · Score: 1

    I'll try my luck with the new Hi-MD [new Minidisc, basically] format. Whilst the discs are only 1 gb, the potential for higher densities are there.

  20. Re:Don't worry too much on What Makes a Good CD/DVD Duplicator? · · Score: 1

    Fair enough; I have been too esoteric in the past. What are you not understanding, exactly?

  21. Re:Don't worry too much on What Makes a Good CD/DVD Duplicator? · · Score: 1

    Well, if I were to wait for the "next big thing" [and use your logic], I may have an issue as the time between what is the best and what is going to replace it is decreasing at a steadfast rate - moreso than ever before. Maybe when optical media becomes more widely accepted I'll delve into it. The CD/DVD/etc etc market is too erratic and just not uniform. I don't see that with the people behind optical media - they all seem to be working together towards a common goal.

    Straight from the site:

    Then I suggest tomorrow there's a blip about a Boba Fett costume, since DIY costumes information is worthy of news. ::rolleyes::
