  1. Re:Oh, patients... on Hardware That Literally Doesn't Stink? · · Score: 1

    i second that. prednisone makes you feel just as shitty AND it's habit forming. i could understand using it if it would save your life (i almost needed to take it for that when I had mono) but otherwise it's not worth the risk.

  2. Re:So much for... on Hackers Take Aim at Republicans · · Score: 1

    um

    a book about directory assistance doesn't sound all that enticing

  3. Re:Lucas's explaination: on Star Wars on DVD · · Score: 1

    Republic credits are no good out here. I need something more real!

  4. Re:Some of the changes (possible spoilers) on Star Wars on DVD · · Score: 1

    on amazon.com, i see a listing for:
    fellowship of the ring - platinum series special extended edition
    lord of the rings trilogy - widescreen
    the two towers - platinum series special extended edition
    the return of the king - widescreen
    lord of the rings trilogy - fullscreen
    the two towers - widescreen
    fellowship of the ring - widescreen

  5. Re:Olympics on Olympic Medal Prediction Model · · Score: 0, Troll

    not all athletes are or were jocks.
    not all geeks were picked on in high school.
    not all geeks have to resort to ridiculous generalizations to make a post on slashdot.

    grow up.

  6. Re:Isn't the CMY(K) color space smaller? on RGB to become RGBCMY · · Score: 1

    actually, in dr. seuss' "the cat in the hat gets grinched", the grinch develops a "darkhouse" which is the polar opposite of a light house.

    unfortunately, after the cat reprogrammed our hero with prozac and christmas carols, the results of the research were lost! curses!

    hah, apple doesn't need to hire astroturfers. they work for free!

  8. Re:It's not that sad on Student Killed Driving Solar Car · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    welcome to my freaks list!

    i can't imagine what it was that i have done to deserve this honor!

  9. Re:Animatrix 2? on Turn Real Life Into A Cartoon · · Score: 4, Interesting

    no, but it would have made Waking Life and Bakshi's Lord of the Rings a lot easier.

  10. Re:Anybody concerned about "download logging"? on Windows XP SP2 Impressions · · Score: 1

    You know, one of the handiest things is when IE5 on the Mac would put a download's URL in its comments field, so when I show someone the latest dumb Flash meme that's spread throughout the universe, I can show them where to get it.

  11. Re:basic... very basic. on You've Got PC · · Score: 1

    Two out of those three articles give specs stating 40GB hard drives. The article summary given by the submitter is wrong, as are your definitions of the words 'cite' and 'fact'.

  12. Re:basic... very basic. on You've Got PC · · Score: 1, Informative

    RTFA, the article summary is wrong.

  13. Re:Abraham Lincoln said... on BSA Asks Kids to Name Copyright Weasel · · Score: 1

    the $43 million was not given to the taliban. at least, according to what colin powell said

  14. Re:Canadian Robot to fix Canadian Telescope on Canadian Robot Could Rescue Hubble · · Score: -1, Troll

    kneejerk anti-US sentiment?

    obsessive Canada fan?

    typical slashdot mod who goes for style not content?

  15. Re:A Different Type of JailCam on Judges Junk Jailcam · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    are you sure you understand how slashdot's "reply" function works, smartypants?

  16. thankfully on Judges Junk Jailcam · · Score: 4, Funny

    jailBAITcam is still operational...

  17. Re:Personal connections? on Apple vs. Microsoft Myths Revisited · · Score: 1

    The other players--Apple, Atari, Commodore and others I'm forgetting--were mostly better in that they generally used 680x0 CPUs but they still weren't particularly decent. They certainly wouldn't have run NeXT's software.

    NExTs used the Motorola 68030 or 68040. HP and Sun also used 68k cpus at one point.

  18. Re:While this may be a dumb move . . . . on Roxio To Concentrate on Online Music Business · · Score: 1

    roxio has higher-end cd authoring and mastering software, at least on the mac side.

  19. Re:News Flash on Roxio To Concentrate on Online Music Business · · Score: 2, Interesting

    iTMS isn't the first in the download-for-pay market, though. I doubt Apple's leadership would let the store eat through all their money before killing it anyway.

    Wishful thinking on your part.

  20. Re:Yippie! on FTC Bars Popup Backdoor Ads · · Score: 1

    what bill? this is an enforcement of existing law

  21. Re:Cost vs Risk on NASA Gives OK to Fix Hubble Telescope · · Score: 4, Informative

    three left. you're missing the endeavour

  22. Re:Don't think this is such a big deal. on Fewer Computer Science Majors · · Score: 1

    My brother writes insanely complex software for NASA, and his degrees are in aerospace engineering, not CS.

    I should think that if you have multiple degrees in aerospace engineering, you've probably had more than one encounter with MATLAB or something and so programming is not such a foreign concept.

    Several of the mechanical engineering students at my alma mater grumbled to me about having to learn C.

  24. Re:Do they have a no-compete on Seagate Says Ex-Employee Can't Work For Competitor · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I was speaking in more general terms than this particular case.

    Friends of mine have run into trouble with this sort of thing, unable to obtain unemployment benefits mostly because of resistance from the former employer.

  25. Re:Do they have a no-compete on Seagate Says Ex-Employee Can't Work For Competitor · · Score: 3, Interesting

    they can say things like "oh, then you won't be needing this severance package/continuing healthcare/unemployment insurance"
