  1. Re:Compression? on SCO Files Response To Demand For Evidence · · Score: 1

    Why in Utah?

  2. Cell Phones originated on Canadians Pay Extra For Their Wireless Hardware · · Score: 1

    It's mostly Americans/United States people who invented/creacted/developed many technologies that go into cell phones and designed them. If it weren't for the global economy it wouldn't be too surprising for there to be no cell phones in Canada at all.

  3. SCO Unix stole Linux source code on Novell Offers Linux Users Legal Indemnity · · Score: 1

    736, line 234)? Gengar56: depends on

  4. SCO Stock on Novell Offers Linux Users Legal Indemnity · · Score: 1

    With Novell supporting SCO, do they have a case? What about those who said that SCO was screwed and it was only a matter of time until they went bankrupt?

  5. Re:Why would you? on Mini-iPod Mystery Drive Unveiled? · · Score: 1
    In fact... it's about as useful as a PC running Windows 95!
    No, you mean "it's about as useful as a PC running Windows XP!"

    Now, a PC running Linux on the other hand...

  6. Re:It's like Burgerking buying bugers from McDonal on Yahoo to Dump Google · · Score: 1

    Huh? What's MapQuest powered by?

  7. Microsoft on Microsoft Rolls Out New Anti-Linux Ad Campaign · · Score: 1

    Spreading lies while getting the media to place them in positive light. With enough money, even the most ridiculous fibs can be given credit.This will improve their reputation with casual computer users and newbies while permanently damaging their reputation with long-time users and geeks.

  8. SCO on SCO - What have WE Forgotten? · · Score: 1

    SCO: Santa Cruz Operation

  9. iPod mini pants on Rumors of iPod mini, 100 Million Songs, Xserve G5 All True · · Score: 1
    The regular iPod is already small - probably as small as a lot of people would want something like this to be (certainly not everybody, but a lot of people - just to head off some of the "it's not small enough for me!" responses). The iPod fits in your pocket but you never can forget it's there. It's light but has a nice, quality heft. It looks nice.
    Is that an iPod mini in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? Apparently not as happy as last time.

    (sorry, couldn't resist the awful joke.)

  10. NOVA Program on First High-Res Color Photos from Mars · · Score: 1

    FYI, the NOVA program for me will be on channel 28, KCET (at 8:00 PM as site states, almost an hour from now).

  11. "more than willing" Asian suppliers on Who Wants to be the Next Dell? · · Score: 1
    How do I find these "more than willing" Asian suppliers?

    I'll sell it on eBay.

  12. Release the source on Windows 98 Phased Out · · Score: 1

    Now that Windows 98 is phased out and Microsoft is rich enough that they don't care about pissing 27% of people off by not releasing crucial security patches and taking off downloads, it'll become (loosely) 'abandonware'. Yes, I know it isn't, but warez groups will call it such. Someone needs to get in there and steal the source code. Then we can continue developing Windows 98 on SourceForge or something.

  13. Cybiko, Inc. & Cybiko Classic and Xtreme handh on Eight Biggest Tech Flops Ever · · Score: 1
    Anyone remember the Cybiko wireless handheld computers?

    Television advertisements were all over the place on many channels targetted to teens. They ran so many contests that I lost count. They had promotions, events, and giveaways. And then they disappeared.

    It was a device somewhat ahead of its time, with wireless chat and games. It can be programmed in C, LOGO, and BASIC, or C++ and bytecode with the Pro version of the SDK. It had about 512K flash memory, RAM, a decent processor, grayscale screen, and full keyboard. All on a handheld device costing just over $100.

    For information on Cybiko development, see CyDevr.net.

  14. treasure hunts on Cops, Wifi, Treasure Hunts, And More! · · Score: 1

    what's the 'treasure'?

  15. Terminator 3 on Warning: Exploding Batteries · · Score: 1

    Did you guys see Terminator 3? The robot used his batteries as bombs.

  16. Re:SATA on The Best and Worst Technologies of 2003? · · Score: 1

    Manufacturers, OEMs won't use SATA due to the additional cost, but most geeks and home-built computers now use serial ATA.

  17. Re:DVD multiple formats... just have one! on The Best and Worst Technologies of 2003? · · Score: 1

    There will never be a 'winner'; both will coexist, especially with DVD+-R/RW drives becoming common.

  18. Re:Not without security measures... on Is WiFi Access Worth $10/hour? · · Score: 1

    That's the point - in their area, they can't.

  19. Re:This legalizes spam on Congress Sends Anti-Spam Bill To White House · · Score: 1

    Can-spam, as in, putting spam in the can. You know, the meat? I hate people spamming me all the time. Though it IS free food.

  20. Re:Journals are for girls? on XFS Merged into Linux 2.4 · · Score: 1

    Journals are for girls? Ah, THAT's why every Slashdot user is given a Journal...

  21. Re:So what's Sparc V? on Open Source Finally Hits Real Silicon · · Score: 1

    Yes... I was thinking real silicon doesn't even have source code to be open.

  22. Where's my money go? on Give the Gift of Slashdot · · Score: 1

    Where does the money go? How much actually goes to Slashdot costs?

  23. Clippy on PC Annoyances · · Score: 1
    Among other tips, the author describes ways of ... getting rid of Clippy

    I don't want to just get rid of him... I want REVENGE!

  24. Server zombies on Examining an Automated Spam Tool · · Score: 1
    Quite interesting that there are so many servers out there on the Internet now, easily harnessed for abuse, spam, DDoS, illegal file hosting and sharing, etc.

    With broadband widely available, every kid and his uncle has a server. I bet tons of them are set up and forgetten, computing power stolen and abused. Who ever updates them? Where do the wasted resources go?

  25. Free fire extinguisher with CPU on So You Think Physics is Funny? · · Score: 1

    "Yes, the new Pentium V's heat will rise exponentially with the number of cycles. So we've added a special BIOS to control the usage of excess CPU cycles, and allow the user to decide whether to run their CPUs full out. If this protection system fails and the chips are allowed to go full out to 7GHz, we've included a FREE fire extinguisher with each CPU we sell.

    We are working with motherboard manufacturers to install default halon fire control systems and possibly even liquid nitrogen-based fire prevention. Intel is certainly on the bleeding edge of processor technology."
