  1. MSF on What Organizations Do You Contribute To? · · Score: 1

    Doctor's Without Borders. Can't go wrong with a Nobel Prize winner.

  2. simplicity is king, I use poseiden on Best Weblogs for Personal Websites? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I use a small CMS called poseiden. http://wonko.com/poseidon/

    It does exactly what I need it to, which is maintain an archive and let me people post comments. GPL too.

    No longer maintained, but wonko is like that.

  3. Re:Pentax K-1000 on Best 35mm SLR Camera for Beginners? · · Score: 1

    He's right, the pentax k-1000 is a spectacular beginner camera.

    I've used my friends, it's light and very user friendly.

    FWIW, I shoot a minolta srt101.

  4. when they register their MAC address on Handling User Grown Machines on a Large Network? · · Score: 1

    At my school (university of maryland, college park) we have to register the computer we're using on the port we're using.

    Before you're doing that you have to download the patches and run a cleaning utility. So our network is pretty much 100% clean.

  5. VCR on Has the Quality of Consumer Electronics Declined? · · Score: 1

    my parents bought their first VCR two years before I was born, 1983. Thing still works perfectly. Sure, it's slow at rewinding and adjusting the balance sucks, but it's outlived our new ones by an order of magnitude or two.

  6. twice on So Did the Hordes Really Skip out for Episode 2? · · Score: 1

    I skipped my last 2 days of junior year in high school to see it.

    Once at a regular theater and the 2nd day at a digital.

  7. Re:Slashdot Atheists on Apple Deals with Devil, Communists · · Score: 1

    Ars Technica did this a few days ago. Notice the update is posted before the /. link.

  8. mp3 on What Sounds Better, MP3 or Ogg? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I like mp3 a lot more than ogg. I have an album or 2 ripped with ogg as well as some randoms songs from compilations. I did them around 200kbps VBR and my mp3s are 192 kpbs CBR. I'm listening on cambridge soundworks 4.1 surround speakers on an MX300.

    I found the ogg files really tinny and light, so I'd stick with mp3.

  9. problems? on Canada Considers Cellphone Jammers · · Score: 1

    What if there were a problem on the premises if the phone lines go down? Would you want your cell phone jammed then? I'm all in favor of this I just thought I'd bring to light a hypothetical situation.

  10. idiot on .god Domain Names: Another "Pioneer" Registrar · · Score: 1

    This guy doesn't sound like he's in the top 5% of the brain catagory. Saying he will not respect and trademarks or copyrights in an invitation to a tsunami of lawsuits in this day and age. It's not a good idea.

  11. draconian on Japan Makes Linking Illegal Material Illegal · · Score: 1

    Just think of this when you think that the US has the most draconian laws on earth. It could be worse but it could be better.

  12. what? on Hasbro And Game-Design Lawsuits · · Score: 2

    I don't see how this could happen. There's no way to "own" an idea unless you copyright or patent it and I don't recall a galaga type patent anywhere. I see this as a foreshadowing of more crappy hasbro improvements to games that were great alreay, and invariably get worse.

  13. air broadband on Broadband From The Sky In 2002? · · Score: 1

    Lots of companies are developing broadband services using satellites. MSN/gillete, an AOL venture and many more are due in the next year and after that speeds gets very high. Specs are at 60 mpbs in 2001-2002. These services are also supposed to rival DSL and cable for their price and whip them both in speed.

  14. more and better on More Of Palm Product Line To Go Wireless · · Score: 1

    With the standard for web devices available, more devices being enabled, and promised faster connections we must be getting very close to a decent way to use a wireless web.
