  1. Re:Home Movies on Adult Swim Revamps; Removes Most Anime · · Score: 1

    I didn't like it at first. I only started watching it when i was too lazy to channel the channel while waiting for SG:CtC to come on. Even then it took a while to grow on me. Now I HAVE to watch it. I keep the last 3 episodes on my ReplayTV :)

  2. Re:AOLserver? on Yahoo Moving to PHP · · Score: 1

    I agree. I've heard tons of great things about AOLserver. I hate the name, but what stopped me personally from using it before is tcl. Not a big fan of tcl.

  3. Re:Home Movies on Adult Swim Revamps; Removes Most Anime · · Score: 1

    Ok. But no, that's not it. I have *never* seen Dr. Katz. I remember seeing the previews for it, but I've never seen a single episode. So that can't be it.. Hmmm.

  4. Home Movies on Adult Swim Revamps; Removes Most Anime · · Score: 1

    I've come to love 'Home Movies'. It reminds me of another toon, but for the life of me, I can't think of it. Oh well. I'll just continue to enjoy. More Adult Swim can only be good right?

    Ok. Maybe not. But would have been funny.

  6. Re:Am I the only one PayPal hasn't screwed up with on Abiword's PayPal Donation Fund Robbed · · Score: 1

    Nope. Paypal works really well for a lot of people. As long as transactions are smooth there is no issue. The main problem with Paypal is when something doesn't go as planned and you need their intervention. It doesn't happen. Read my other comment: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=43431&cid=4540 353

  7. Paypal: Excellent Service (until you need help) on Abiword's PayPal Donation Fund Robbed · · Score: 5, Informative
    Paypal is quite convienient, but should something like this happen that requires Paypal to step in, you're SCREWED!

    Paypals complaint resolution works like this:

    File complaint

    Paypal emails other party on your behalf

    Paypal receives no response for other party after X number of days(duh)

    Paypal deems your money unrecoverable (sorry)

    Filed fraud w/ my CC company

    CC company investigates (and when they finally stop laughing) remove charge from my CC (thank you!)

    Recieve nastygram from PayPal for not initiating the charge back through Paypal for the 10 dollar fee instead of the free service my CC provides.. (dick heads!)

    Luckily my CC company came through with no problem. But I was scammed on a PS2 system on Ebay (long story) the sad part is that there were about 20 of us that lost out on the ebay thing. A couple of them used paypal and got nothing! and since they didn't use a CC (which paypal would rather u use a straight bank transfer) they got screwed. Got nothing back. Sad.

  8. Isn't that backwards? on Recycle Fee For Each PC? · · Score: 1

    If I pay a fee, it would be a DISPOSAL fee. If it's going to be recycled, someone is going to make money off it and they should be paying ME! Just like aluminum cans.

  11. Best Ping Story (quoted from his site) on The Author of Ping is Reported Dead · · Score: 2

    For those of you that haven't read the ping page on his site.

    "The best ping story I've ever heard was told to me at a USENIX conference, where a network administrator with an intermittent Ethernet had linked the ping program to his vocoder program, in essence writing:

    ping goodhost | sed -e 's/.*/ping/' | vocoder

    He wired the vocoder's output into his office stereo and turned up the volume as loud as he could stand. The computer sat there shouting "Ping, ping, ping..." once a second, and he wandered through the building wiggling Ethernet connectors until the sound stopped. And that's how he found the intermittent failure."


    Haha.. Gotta love it.

    Peace.

  14. What If The Tables Are Turned? on The Impact on Open Source of Stolen Microsoft Code · · Score: 3

    Just a random thought that popped in my head, but what if it turned out that GPL'd code was found in Microsoft's source code?

    Maybe their 'innovative' re-invention of symlinks and mapping drives to directories was based on GPL'd code.

    Prolly not, but I say it was just a random thought I had. :P
