  1. EXTRA! EXTRA! THIS JUST IN! READ ALL ABOUT IT!!!!! on Google Begins Removing AFP From Google News · · Score: 1

    AFP is requiring us to remove this article, supposedly, they own the copyright to this article. In other things, imgaine if Google News and Slashdot merged....

  2. Re:AFP will now disappear on Google Begins Removing AFP From Google News · · Score: 1

    20 years later..... Hmm, here's a old story reported by the AFP? What's the AFP? I dunno. Maybe some French thing.

  3. What next? on Microsoft Tries to Patent the Internet Again · · Score: 1

    Are they gonna claim that they owned APRANET? Someday, Microsoft will own the IETF, Internet Society and W3C. We'll be screwed.

  4. Somewhat first post.... on A History of Portable Computing · · Score: 0

    Bleh. Wow. What a waste of webpage. I'm typing this on a laptop. ibm thinkpad I've seen laptops. My teacher at my las school had a big heavy one. Acutally, we did have a Apple IIc, which could be lugged around!

  5. Bleh... on Millions of Pages Google Hijacked using ODP Feed · · Score: 4, Funny

    I was thinking that some major crisis had broken out and a million pages were hijacked at once creating something bigger than any other Internet event other, and it caused Google's stock to tank and force to them go private again, lay off workers and go bankrupt. But that's crazy. But still, word it right. Damn it.

    BACK TO THE HOLES! BACK TO THE HOLES!! I say we start Return to Gopher campagin and promote Gopher awareness!

  7. Apple needs to do a better job on Jon Johansen Breaks iTunes DRM Yet Again · · Score: 1

    Maybe they should install security cameras in the store. They released the patch and already it's cracked. Looks like they need to hire Johansen. I wonder if it held together with bubblegum.

  8. It's always the grad students on Classic Math Puzzle Cracked · · Score: 1

    It's always them. They always solve this stuff in college. They get famous...then drift off into obsucurity. Like the Indian guy. And, I hate math.

  9. BILL BILL BILL on The Science Guy Returns · · Score: 1

    BILLLLLLLLLLLLLL NYEEEE THE SCIENCE GUY! Oh, the days when I used to watch that, then thoses bastards at PBS stopped airing the reruns! DAMN THEM!

  10. Re:That's no planet... it's a space station. on Spitzer Telescope Discovers Planets Via Infrared · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well then again, it's a blue star. So... it shouldn't have that hard to detect. Damn she's hot, I'd love to get her in the solarsack.

  11. That's no planet... it's a space station. on Spitzer Telescope Discovers Planets Via Infrared · · Score: 0

    I just sensed a disturbance in the force. Anyways, why can't we start doing this more often. I'm sure plenty of planets will popup by the end of the decade.

  12. And so ends an era. on Apple Developing Two-Button Mouse · · Score: 1

    Or two. The era of "Apple One-button Mice" and The era of the "Apple Two-button Mice troll"

  13. Imagine of Beowulf cluster of these! on PSP And DS Duke It Out · · Score: 1

    Seriously, imgaine.

  14. TIME on PSP And DS Duke It Out · · Score: 1

    The TIME technology section has pretty much done away with the small column format and has decided to snazz it up for the PSP. Saying it's pretty much going saying that the DS' ass is gonna be kicked because it's a relic from the Ice Age and you've gotta have the PSP. Although I'm a Sony guy (well maybe neutral I dunno). Nintendo has been making handhelds since 89. This is Sony's first foray into handheld gaming, so I'm siding with Nintendo on this one folks.

  15. Re:Nintendo DS is and always was a gimmick on PSP And DS Duke It Out · · Score: 1

    I don't think it's a stopgap but maybe it could be. I don't think it's a gimmmick. Does any other handheld have a bulit-in chat program that allows you to chat with people around you? Nope. Only the DS does. No, stop-gap console would include something like that. Now, I'm a Sony man (I have both the PSX, up in my room, though our N64 is hooked up and PS2, which is plugged into the TV across from me) but on this, I'm siding with DS.

  16. Wow... on A History of Icons · · Score: 1

    I never knew that so many Slashdotters had an intrest in icons, so much that it brings down a DAMN SITE ON THE HISTORY OF ICONS! You people have no lives, of course then again, neither do I.

  17. It sucks when it's local. on e-Scrabble gets Cease and Desist Order from Hasbro · · Score: 1

    Hasbro is local company to us. It's just north of me in Beverly, MA. I live somewhere south. Anyways, why can't Hasbro just offer to buy out eScrabble. Keep the free users and then make a plus version that requires some $$? That seems much more smarter. Companies still dont seem to get the message. Don't stamp it out, join with it.

  19. Re:But....... on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    I know that. Opera had tabbed browsing before Firefox, but Firefox seems to have more users and it uses PNG, a W3C, while Microsoft has finally chosen to display it correctly. I mean, I don't think they considered Opera a threat so they never tossed those features in until now when Firefox has "popularized" by having so many users.

  20. Re:But....... on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    I know PNG is a standard, I'm just saying that IE has finally chosen to display it correctly.... I know tabbed browsing isn't a "firefox feature" either but still, Firefox to me seems to have more users than Opera, so I just generalized it.

    WHAT ABOUT US ME USERS BITCH! But yes, I'm pretty sure this is when they really dump us! Although, I'm pretty sure they did that a long long time ago.

  23. Re:many useful features... on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 2, Insightful

    many many many years. It's really annoying when IE5 popups and forces you to sign up for MSN when I format my HD reinstalling the annoying Windows Me. Then, I set it up and I have to download Firefox, then sometimes I have to switch over to IE for some websites that don't work well with Firefox and then the crappy Windows Update comes up and rubs IE 6 in your face, and you have to seperately download the damn thing. I'm just glad this is only XP-wise, I don't want to be force-fed another IE.

  24. But....... on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    will it run on Linux? Hmmm. Appearently, Microsoft has finally began to consider Firefox a threat because *cough*tabbed browsing* is a Firefox feature and so is PNG. Finally, IE learns they need to include PNG. Though, just because it has all these ""new"" *cough*ripoff*cough* features doesn't mean I'll use it. I'm insecure as it is running on Windows Me!
