    You don't even need a subscription to tell what's coming up on Slashdot. Just check out the Evening Tech Bits section of news updates on Blue's News. Half of the items end up on Slashdot in one or two days.

    In all fairness, Blue takes many articles from Slashdot as well.

    Of course, you can tell how much of a chick flick a movie is just by looking at how out-of-focus the cover art is on the case.

    Yeah, tell me about it. That Sopwith owes me one for my predictions of the death of OS/2!

    I couldn't get the site to work on my 1936 Stutz Bearcat. I tried attaching an onion to my belt. It was a yellow onion because those were the style at the time...

    Oh man what a troll.

    Do you even check your 'facts'?
    b) Did you check your first sentence?

    What's that? Someone made a joke that's technically incorrect within the details? I've never seen that happen before, I'm glad you got that straightened out!

    Excuse me, but I have to make some jokes about monkeys only to be corrected by being told that chimps are actually apes.

    Ahh, yes. That evolved into an inside joke in high school. One guy would say, "UnstramanaBillGates!" and the other would say "Mah mit pullon!"

    (This video doesn't appear to have sound, but the other version with the announcer guy says something resembling that - I don't know Belgian)

    and when I mentioned something about WMP's poor ones to someone from the media division, he essentially told me to download the developer's kit and write some if I want them. Like, hello?

  20. Re:What? on Enthusiast Hacks WiFi Into Treo 650 · · Score: 1

    Nah, it was pretty far from stock anyway, so it's not really upsetting. I knew someone who had a 70s Mustang (same body as in the pictures) that failed the CA smog check and had to resort to putting a 4-cylinder in it.

    No, his analogy didn't involve cars - it could have been much worse.

  22. Re:On the "computer programming" question on Introducing Children to Computers? · · Score: 1

    Heh, I spent a summer (after 5th grade) making entirely overengineered menus to load Apple 2 games on compilation disks. Ones that ran in hi-res graphics and played two-channel music (swiped others' hacks that allowed for both drawing of text in HGR2 mode and music)

  23. Re:Linux, the open OS. on Introducing Children to Computers? · · Score: 1

    I learned BASIC on an Apple //c in the early 90s (no, we had a 386 too, don't ask) and learned how to do stuff BASIC wasn't meant to do by looking at the long list of POKE commands that were listed out in others' programs. I never truly understood how they worked because I never had any instructions manuals around but just jotted down the screenfull of numbers so I could do stuff like enable sound beyond the system bell and the click sound.

    I think Apple BASIC ruined my chances of learning how to program anything else. No concept of functions or true "IF" statements with an "ELSE" fallback, etc.

    Reminds me of the Dilbert where he's trying to churn out a program with tons of bugs so he can get a bunch of credit debugging it.

    Dilbert: How am I doing?
    Dogbert: Not good. You just programmed a web browser.

  25. Re:Actually.. on Gaming in the Military · · Score: 1

    Playstation 2s and desert sand do not mix. Their drives break anyway, but they do it a lot quicker out there. I was deployed last year as part of a combat communications squadron in the Air Force that was wannabe Army and got to see a whole bunch of PS2s break. A couple people brought Gamecubes. Obviously, those made it through gracefully.
