  1. 56k modem? on AMD's Personal Internet Communicator · · Score: 0, Redundant

    being small and self contained is cool and all, but who else thinks it'd do better with an ethernet port and/or a built-in wifi card? or maybe a pcmcia slot? i mean, come on, 56k dialup is almost obsolete! broadband is already too cheap it'd be stupid to use dialup... unless of course you're living in the middle of nowhere with nothing but a phoneline to connect you to the outside world...

  2. lacking on Virgin's New iPod Rival · · Score: 5, Funny
    from tfm:

    Share your music
    Dual headphone jacks so you can listen with friends. Friends not included.

    bummer... for once i thought i could finally get one bundled with a music player =(

  3. caches, just in case on Mac OS X Running On Xbox · · Score: 2, Informative
    PasteEater writes "The good people over at XBox Scene ? have the scoop. Mac OS X has been successfully installed ? on a modified ? Xbox. What does this mean? Well, it's no Xbox Media Center ? , but it does prove that nerds are at the forefront ? once again!"

    thanks to mirrordot.org

  4. it's an illusion... on The Goggles, They Do Nothing · · Score: 1
    the site isn't down... now look closely... focus...

    i mean, come on, a university server in japan, slashdotted? how unlikely is that?

  5. ooh a complete suite of search engines on New Clustering Search Engine to battle Google · · Score: 2, Funny
    but i have to say, the gossip search needs to index more sites, and the image search is still no match for google's.

    not a very reliable porn search engine.

  6. with all those things cramped into the ds... on Warp Pipe Group May Bring Online Gaming to DS · · Score: 4, Insightful

    i still can't help but worry about battery life.

  7. Re:Strange on Playing God in The Sims 2 · · Score: 1
    that evolution wasted time.

    try bush.

  8. Re:Tom? on LoTR RoTK Extended Edition Specs Released · · Score: 0, Troll
    > I boycotted LoTR films after realizing they cut my favorite scene in the entire series - the valley of Tom Bombadil.

    heh, same here.

    and also the hobbits' return to the shire... hmm what about that one? was it filmed at all?

  9. Re:Will the phone have.... on Nokia Phone Gets Virus Protection · · Score: 1
    erm.. rtfa?

    quoted: The Symbian OS smart phones will provide on-device protection, similar in fashion to antivirus protection programs for PCs, with automatic over-the-air antivirus updates for a monthly fee. The final decision about pricing has yet to be made but will be finalized by the time the phone ships "some time in October," Impivaara says. According to the company's current estimates, the antivirus mobile protection license will cost about $3.62 per month, but early buyers will most likely be offered a discounted price of about $2.40 per month, Impivaara says.

    i say, such a wasteful use of gprs...

  10. Re:Frames on Hotmail Begins to Upgrade Free Accounts · · Score: 2, Informative

    for HTML messages with linked texts, clicking on "Content-Type: text/plain" on your message header, with advanced headers enabled(options>mail display settings>message headers>advanced), will open the message in a new window, still within the stupid hotmail frame. but this time around, the links are directed directly to the real URL's, so right clicking on the links>open in new window/tab will send you to that page, sans the frames.

  11. Re:hmm... on Microsoft Lists SP2 Incompatibilities · · Score: 1

    i know they're not really "glitches"(note the ""'s). this kind of issues should've been foreseen before the release, and a warning or notes of some sort could've been published before SP2 came out, eh? i mean, why now?

  12. hmm... on Microsoft Lists SP2 Incompatibilities · · Score: 1, Interesting

    wouldn't they have found this "glitches" earlier by the SP2 beta testers..?

  13. speaking of clusters... on NASA To Get 10,240 Node Itanium 2 Linux Cluster · · Score: 0, Redundant

    are we gonna get another barrage of /. beowulf cluster jokes?
