  1. EvDO? on Beyond 3G — Practical Cellular Internet Access · · Score: 1

    Not to sound like a troll, but in what ways is this different than the technologies already out there (like EvDO)?

  2. I hope this doesn't come to my school on Clickers Redefining Classrooms · · Score: 4, Insightful

    One of the best parts about class for me is actually speaking my mind and not being afraid to do it. This would just make people more shy if you ask me. Not a very good way to prepare kids for the real world! There won't be clickers at the office.

  3. Re:What IS podcasting? on iTunes 4.9 With Podcasting Support · · Score: 5, Informative
  4. Re:Gawd Damnit on Coming Soon, Roadcasting · · Score: 0

    DUDE, I've been thinking of the same thing, only with such satellite radio services like XM and Sirius. It would help getting a signal when you're around tall buildings etc.

  5. Re:Speedy on Official BitTorrent Search Opens · · Score: 0

    Wow, I'm glad that Mozilla keeps their BitTorrent page updated with the latest builds :/ I wonder why they are only serving 1.01 on there?

  6. Started with BitTorrent? on MPAA Blames BitTorrent for Star Wars Distribution · · Score: 0

    So are they saying that the release started on a BitTorrent site? Wow. Too bad that's not how it works, at ALL. And I thought the MPAA at least knew how their movies get pirated.

  7. Quality sucks on 'Sith' Already Found Online · · Score: 0

    The source is a VHS, and there is a huge timer on the top of the screen. Go see it at the theater.

  8. Re:I may be a bit late to the party here - on Maui X-Stream at it Again? · · Score: -1, Troll

    No, if you are using GPL'd code and selling it for profit, it is against the GPL. Selling support is one thing, selling software is another.

  9. Re:Cell phone? on Signal Handoff Could Mean Roaming VoIP over WiFi · · Score: 1, Interesting

    In short, yes. It very well could be. I know that Skype is MUCH higher quality than even my landline phone. VoIP has a lot of potential.

  10. Re:I want the music/movie industry on Music Industry Drafts Code of Conduct for ISPs · · Score: 0

    Yeah, a LOT of shit is watermarked already.

    But it's easy enough to remove those watermarks.. and IMO if the MPAA cared about it enough, they wouldn't make it so easy.

  11. Show Google searches? on Al Gore Invents Internet TV · · Score: 1, Insightful

    So they're going to start monitoring Google and can see what people search for? I really hope I just read that wrong.

  12. One way to solve this... on DNS Cache Poisoning Spreads Malware · · Score: 0

    is to start using secured, SIGNED encryption for every site. That way, you'll know if you are really on the site you think you're on.

  13. Re:Well.... on PlayStation Sales Halted? · · Score: 1, Funny

    But that would mean that methangel is a girl.

    There are no girls on teh intarweb! :P

  14. Whoa on Apple Developing Two-Button Mouse · · Score: 0

    Two buttons? Don't you think that's a bit much, Mr. Jobs? :P

  15. Re:OK that's scary.... on IE Vulnerable to Cross-Browser Spyware Attack · · Score: 0

    How do you use Windows Update then?

  16. Lawsuits on Hurricane Electric Offers Bit Torrent Service · · Score: 0

    I predict that, unfortunately, this service will be cancelled within the next two months because of legal threats. Very cool service. Hopefully it can stay around.

  17. I'm sorry, but... on FBI Warns: Many Tsunami Relief Pleas Are Fake · · Score: -1, Troll

    No shit? This goes on whenever any kind of disaster happens. How is this news, and even more importantly, how is this Slashdot news?

  18. Re:But the real question is... on More Linux Portable Media Players On The Way · · Score: 1

    If the device runs on Linux, I'm sure there will be a way to add your own applications to it.

  19. My dad on Introducing Children to Computers? · · Score: 1

    I remember getting a 486 when I was about 4 years old. The whole mobo died about a year after we bought it, and I remember my dad replacing every part in the PC. I had no clue what he was doing, and now my dad doesn't have a clue about computers :P but I remember it was the coolest thing ever, seeing how all of the stuff inside of that computer worked together. I was also pretty lucky that we first got internet service when I was 5 years old, back in 1993. My parents weren't very strict about the computer (back then, there weren't as many threats to children on the Internet as there are now). So basically I just learned by experimenting with everything. That's what I do to this day.

  20. Not surprised. on Inside TechTV/G4 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm not surprised one bit. G4 is finally realizing that they messed up. Nobody is watching because they've completely done a Hitler move and fired off all of the good TechTV people. All that's left is good-looking, young hosts who don't know jack about what they are talking about. It's quite sad how fast they turned one of the best networks into the worst.

  21. Re:Damn on EA Obtains Exclusive NFL Licensing Rights · · Score: 0

    Heh.. I wonder if we can Slashdot that site.

  22. But... on Microsoft Bringing TV to Xbox · · Score: 0

    I'm sure MS won't include support for the nice open-source codec XviD.

  23. Nice on XM Radio Plans Online Music Service · · Score: 0

    I love listening to it in the car, but I didn't wanna buy one of those XM boomboxes. I will definately get this!

  24. Oh, come on! on Sony Develops TVs That Zoom in for True Close-ups · · Score: 0

    Where was this when Janet's nip-slip happened? :P

  25. Re:health risks? on Philadelphia Considers Free Citywide Wireless Access · · Score: 1, Insightful

    How is that any different than a cell phone network covering a whole city?
