  1. Crates - hmmmm... on Spielberg & Lucas Approve Indy 4 Script · · Score: 1

    I prefer crates, myself.

    Ah, so you took the puzzle path :)

  2. Uh oh.... on Terrorist Link to Copyright Piracy Alleged · · Score: 1

    Terrorists eat! Therefore, eating is evil! :(

  3. Re:Smart People Defend Bad Ideas... on Why Smart People Defend Bad Ideas · · Score: 1

    and that our behavior is out of our conscious control.

    "Reprimand the wise and he will admire you". Didn't that come in the Bible?

    It's not that our behaviour is out of our conscious control - it's just that it's much more comfortable to lead the unconscious take control. After all, why have to deal with all those moral issues and... yuck! Humbleness!

  4. Re:oh, and another thing before XP's ready on Windows Nearly Ready For Desktop Use · · Score: 1

    You're right, there SHOULD be a "Shutdown" button in there.

  5. Re:I resent that comment on 2-Year OpenOffice High School Case Study · · Score: 1

    there is nothing worse than someone who learns computers by memorizing.

    Dude, you just pinpointed the reason for kids disliking MATH! They try to memorize it, and obviously fail.

  6. Newsflash! on Nuclear Fuel How-To · · Score: 1, Funny

    AMAZING DISCOVERY!
    Nuclear energy works by splitting atoms!

  7. Re:Who wants to see everything? on Airport Screeners could see X-rated X-rays · · Score: 1

    It's time to get a job as an airport screener!

    *Fat ugly guy enters*
    Ugly guy: OK officer. Where do I go thru?
    You: GAAAAHHH!!!!!

  8. Re:justice on Vigilante Hackers use Old West Tactics for Justice · · Score: 1

    In time that will only make it harder to detect the scams.

    How funny. I only have to open my Yahoo! mail and check all the creditcard related accounts (i have NO credit card!). So how hard is it to detect? Really?

  9. Re:A real suggestion on Creating a High-Tech Meeting/Conference Room? · · Score: 1

    Find them. Hire them.

    And if it doesn't work, Fire them :)

  10. I suppose... on Smoke and Mirrors from Sony and Microsoft · · Score: 1

    PS3 and XBOX gave us something we always wanted: VIRTUAL FEATURES! :D

  11. Re:Sugary snacks on Keep Fit Program For The Brain · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Practically no fiber, and corn syrup and hydrogenated fat dominate.

    I wouldn't be so sure about it. Right here I have a box of Kellogg's NutriGrain.

    Ingredients:
    whole wheat, sugars, vegetal fat (doesn't say partially hydrogenated), egg, calcium carbonate, iodated salt, sodium bicarbonate, color, (lots of vitamins go on in here); for the strawberry filling: corn syrup, sugar,maltodextrine,dextrose,strawberries (emphasis mine), water, glicerine, powdered apple, pectine, artificial and natural flavors, sodium benzoate, malic acid, vegetable oil (non-hydrogenated) and soy leticine, red dye 40, sulfites, polisorbate 60.

    While it has chemicals, it does contain whole wheat and actual fruits. I think the article referred more to DONUTS, DINGDONGS, SWISS CAKE ROLLS and all those "junk foods" that contain nothing but sugars.

    I do eat one nutrigrain a-day (at the job), but I do eat my breakfast at home, too. One glass of milk, 2 scrambled eggs with whole-wheat bread (and maybe some ham), and my orange juice.

  12. And you're too slow! on Netscape 8 Breaks IE XML · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I stopped using Netscape after AOL bought it! Kept using NS4.7 (and later IE), until Firefox appeared.

    Repeat after me: Netscape, Is, Now, Just, A, Brand.

  13. Expectable on Decriminalizing File Swapping · · Score: 2

    In Europe we have legalized drugs, legalized prostitution, legalized gay marriages, and other things that in the US are seen as "taboo".

    Is it really a mystery that now they're legalizing file swapping?

  14. Re:but on Water Now More Awesome Than Previously Thought · · Score: 2, Funny

    but does it run linux?

    No, but somehow the image of LARGE amounts of COLD water remind me of penguins.

  15. IT'S NOT A HACK on Feds Shut Down Elite Torrents · · Score: 2, Informative

    I just found a Press Release from the FBI saying they were going to shut down EliteTorrents.

    At the bottom of the page we read:

    "The Motion Picture Association of America provided valuable assistance to the investigation."

    So nope, it's not a hack. It's official.

  16. Re:RTJKJAS? on Feds Shut Down Elite Torrents · · Score: 1

    I bet the fbi/cia/nsa/riaa/mpaa didn't even know about it until someone reported it.

    "Guys, we got a report on Elite Torrents."
    "Aw man! I was just about to download my copy of Sith!"
    "Shut up, Jones. Let's shut that thing down."
    "Yes, sir. (Bummer)"

  17. Re:Bittorrent givith bandwidth on Official BitTorrent Search Opens · · Score: 1

    Question. If it can't stand the /. effect, how can we be sure it can stand EVERYDAY USE? I mean, google has never been slashdotted, has it?

  18. Re:WinAmp? on Plugin For Winamp Allows Downloading From iPod · · Score: 1

    I use winamp, it lets me play midi and .mod files. Don't need to download third party plugins, they come built in.

  19. I got an idea. on Your Chance to Meet Bill Gates · · Score: 1

    Why not give him a T-shirt with the FIREFOX logo (just keep it hidden until he unfolds it), in "gratitude for his efforts to make this a better world"?

    Now *THAT* would be ingenious.

  20. Passion for windows on Your Chance to Meet Bill Gates · · Score: 0

    Brainwashed sheep, meet the cult leader. You'll feel happy and he'll get even more popular.

  21. Blank keys? on Blank Keyboard · · Score: 1

    which the maker touts will make you type 100% faster in a few weeks since it will keep you from looking at the keyboard.

    Some simple typing lessons would achieve the same effect. In fact, I'm typing without looking at the keyboard right now.

  22. Mod parent UP (funny) on Write Down Your Passwords · · Score: 1

    For providing us with an EXCELLENT reference to SpaceBalls the movie.

  23. CVS was designed for text files... on Converting from CVS to Subversion? · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    IMHO you should stick to CVS. I mean, if it's not broken... why fix it? I'm pretty happy with CVS right now. And yes, I use it for an intranet.

  24. 16 Gbits, not GBytes on Samsung Announces Flash-Based Disk Drive · · Score: 0

    from physorg:

    "16 Gb [notice the lowercase 'b'] Samsung's Flash Solid State Disk to Replace Hard Drives"

  25. Not to be a partypooper but... on Linux and OpenOffice save Microsoft Presentation · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Will this appear in ANYWHERE but slashdot? I mean, will common people know about it? And more important... will they even care?
