  1. Sounds like we need the real story... on New Jersey Bars Sex Offenders From the Internet · · Score: 2, Informative

    From http://www.informationweek.com/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=205204285 New Jersey Bars Some Sex Offenders From Internet: The new law prohibits anyone convicted of using a computer to commit a sex offense from using computers or accessing the Internet for part or all of their parole.

  2. Re:Positive Spillover on 9 Weeks to Pump Out New Orleans? · · Score: 1

    Uh oh... people are going to have to vacation somewhere else

  3. Re:But does it run on Linux? on Google Talk Claims Openness, Lacks S2S Support · · Score: 1

    But does it run on Linux?

    Yes, use Gaim

  4. You know Slashdots going downhill when... on Google Talk Claims Openness, Lacks S2S Support · · Score: 5, Funny

    the article starts with "This LiveJournal entry by Nugget..."

  5. Re:600 feet per minute... on The End of the Bar Code · · Score: 3, Funny

    I wish you could mod +1 True

  6. Re:Becoming a god on Scientists Creating Life From Scratch · · Score: -1, Troll

    While I probably shouldn't feed the troll, wouldn't this be evidence for intelligent design? I mean, if we can create an organism, why couldn't some higher being? After all, I believe scientists still don't have a good explanation for how the first organism was created. Why couldn't a higher being have created it?

  7. Re:Hmm... on Microsoft to Fight Crime With Spammer's Millions · · Score: 1

    with his trusty sidekick, the Great Grape Ape (Steve Balmer painted purple).

    I thought he was called Bonzi Buddy

  8. Tootsie Roll? on Stealing Data? A Sniffer Shows it's Easy · · Score: 1

    "Most systems are like this Tootsie Roll Pop," Mr. Seiden said. "They have this hard, crunchy outside, but they're very gooey and soft inside. And once you get past that crunchy outside and you're inside, you can do anything."

    How many licks does it take to get to the center of this corporate server?

  9. Re:Skype quality?? on Skype's Sale As Media Feint · · Score: 5, Informative

    Gizmo is trying to compete... we'll see how that pans out.

  10. Re:Camera Views on Shuttle Discovery Lifts Off · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that was definitely an awe-inspiring shot

  11. Re:Hmmm... on World's Smallest MP3 Player · · Score: 1

    Seems like a great thing for running or biking

  12. Re:Is this news? on Pay-Per-Click Speculation Market Soaring · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The only problem I see is that they're snatching up names so that the people who want to use those names for a "valid" business will have to buy them at a premium, or can't access them at all.

  13. Re:Rollback this. on One Step Away from Changing Daylight Savings Time · · Score: 1

    Someone's bitter...

  14. Re:Top Tracks on UC System Chooses Mindawn Download Service · · Score: 1

    Dude, they have Quest for the Heartland by Ricocher!?! Rock on!!

  15. Re:Heh... hilarious on UC System Chooses Mindawn Download Service · · Score: 1

    iTunes can play MP3, Wav and AIFF.

    And Mindawn supports none of these

  16. Popular music? on UC System Chooses Mindawn Download Service · · Score: 2, Informative

    Unfortunately for the UC systems, Mindawn doesn't seem to offer any popular music (songs produced by the RIAA) so I'm not sure that's going to help stem the tide of file sharing.

    Not that there's anything wrong with not providing that RIAA stuff...

  17. Re:Cheaper than many text books? on $99 Linux Handheld with WiFi for Instant Messaging · · Score: 1

    Please point me to some publishers that do this!

  18. Reformat? on Got Spyware? Throw out the Computer! · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Why don't they reformat rather than buy a new PC? It does the same thing and costs much, much less..

  19. Information overload on How Episode IV Should Have Ended · · Score: 1

    I can't tell if he's joking or not...

  20. Re:Yeah... on Man Arrested for Using Open Wireless Network · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You could be arrested if your neighbor happens to also have a wireless network and your computer decides it likes that one better one day. That's egregious.

  21. Re:digit extraction on 83,431 Recited Digits of Pi · · Score: 1

    If I understand your question right, you can use LaGrange Error Bound to determine up to what decimal the n is accurate to, and then extract from there. No, this isn't easy to do in your head.

  22. Re:I for one... on Possible Taxes For Broadband Users · · Score: 1

    Because they have no incentive. "I messed up? Oh well, it wasn't MY money!"

  23. Re:Bram is screwed on Bittorrent Creator A Digital Pirate? · · Score: 1

    Actually, I wasn't being sarcastic at all. To have something you said backfire on you 6 years later is exactly what the First Amendment was trying to prevent, wasn't it?

  24. Re:Bram is screwed on Bittorrent Creator A Digital Pirate? · · Score: 1

    Poor guy...

  25. Re:The Force is *retarded* with this one... on Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament · · Score: 1
