  1. Re:Here comes the SHOCKER! on Longhorn Will Have Ability to Ban External Storage Devices · · Score: 1

    and - shockingly! - iPods.

    Shockingly, michael, people use iPods to backup data!


    I'm sure michael and the rest of /. know that an iPod can store data. I think he's trying to say that it's "shocking" for Microsoft to block the use of an Apple product.

  2. Re:I think they should give Ken Alex's job. on They Killed Ken! · · Score: 1

    On 60 Minutes they interviewed Trebek and he said he gets about 70% of the answers right. However, he said that he probably wouldn't win because his reflexes are not that great.

  3. Re:Summary of article... on Make Money Fast · · Score: 1

    The news today had a story about a casheir who accepted a $200 dollar bill. It had George W as the portrait.

  4. 100 pound laptop? on SETI Finds Interesting Signal · · Score: 1

    Sweet, where can i get one? ;)

  5. Re:Cell phone makers would be jealous... on DVD Player Maker's Margins just $1 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The problem is that those companies (cell phone, video games) can sell additional games, service plans etc. while the DVD player company has no control over where DVDs are bought from (if the company even makes DVDs)

  6. maybe they should outsource on DVD Player Maker's Margins just $1 · · Score: -1

    sorry bad pun :(

  7. is this related to the previos slashdot article... on Robots in Hospitals · · Score: 1

    ...about beer delivery robots?

  8. time to start... on The March Towards Micropayments · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...the obligitory "Office Space" quotes amount micropayments.

  9. Re:Teens drinking coffee? on Setting Up Mac OS X for a Teenage Coffeehouse? · · Score: 1

    do we really need younger coffee drinkers already?
    Teens will be drinking coffee anyway. Just because it is a coffeehouse doesn't mean that everyone HAS to get coffee (and some will get decaf of course). If you have something interesting going on (acoustic concerts) or other type of foods (cookies, bagels) you will get teens who don't drink coffee.

  10. comparison with early automobiles on Segways Roll Over Chicago · · Score: 2, Insightful

    at the beginning of the twentieth century, a lot of people were concerned about the accidents that could occur from automobiles. the cost of accidents were eventually considered to be a reasonable risk considering the convenience that they give.

  11. Free Scap Metal on Sun Says Hardware Will Be Free · · Score: 1

    too bad they'll be a contract you have to sign ;-)

  12. arcade games on The DDR Workout - It's Official · · Score: 5, Funny

    i used to get a workout from playing old-school arcade games, the ones where you had to press buttons 10 times a second. on the other hand i'm sure eating pizza and drinking soda more than counteracted any sweat i produced.

  13. MS has a point... on Ruling Clears Way For Lindows Trial · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I know anything pro-MS posted here is unpopular, but put it this way...
    would the OS have been named Lindows if it wasn't for Windows?

  14. What about on Finally Geeks Available in Action Figure Form · · Score: 1
  15. Mexico on Updated Schedule for U.S. Biometric Passports · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Will they scan everyone entering the US from Mexico (and Canada)? At some border places it all ready takes an hour to cross...

  16. It can play PC Games but.... on Via-based Handheld Game Console Runs PC Games · · Score: 5, Insightful

    most PC games have too many buttons.

  17. Re:I got scared for a minute on E3 - Nintendo Shows DS Details, Realistic Zelda · · Score: 1

    For a moment, I thought Nintendo was still milking Mario like there's no tomorrow. I'm so glad they're moving on and producing entirely new fun games, like Zelda...

    Of course Nintendo will develop new games. It's just thats it harder to get the attention of people at places like E3 with entirely new games. People have usually questioned all Nintendo systems coming out, saying that are not developing anything new. Games like Pikmin will still come out, at least partially because people will always demand something new (and remakes of games will be demanded by people who want to relive old classics too..)

  18. These phones don't have enough gadets... on Japanese Cell Phones Offer a Glimpse of the Future · · Score: 1

    I prefer the ones mentioned here...
    http://www.themq.com/index.php?articleid=45&issue= 102
    p.s. how do you make it an actual link?

  19. William Gibson? on Hall of Fame Voting For Computer Museum of America · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Sorry if this sounds like flamebait, but the other people invented acutal products while all he did was "Coined the phrase "cyberspace" in the novel "Neuromancer" (1984)"

  20. Re:Space Rendezvous on City-Sized Asteroid to Pass Earth This Fall · · Score: 1

    we know a lot of stuff about the surface and gravity of foreign planets but almost nothing about meteors and especially this particular meteor. landing on a meteor would be a lot harder than mars.

  21. and this for? on Big Brother Will Be Watching You In Florida · · Score: 5, Insightful

    if they want to catch people running red lights they could just do photos at intersections. this would not be helpful for tracking people, because cars don't neccessarily mean that the owner is in it.

  22. wouldn't it be simpler on Software To Stop Song Trading · · Score: 3, Insightful

    to spend money and give students a paid subscription for music downloads (some colleges have) then spend money tracking file sharing?

  23. its like church... on SimChurch · · Score: 2, Funny

    but without the free food. :(

  24. UCSD deserves one.. on 2004 Jefferson Muzzle Awards · · Score: 1

  25. what if there's a storm? on Listen to the Sky · · Score: 4, Funny

    would we get to see cell phones zapped by lightning?
