  1. Re:Not really free on The Return of Free Internet · · Score: 1

    The funny thing was, I got better speeds on Zfree than I get got on iHug (a large, non-free ISP)

  2. Re:DUCK HUNT!!!!1 on Gaming With a Headmouse? · · Score: 1

    After reading about the headmouse, this would be pretty awesome, especially with voice-activated clicking. Godlike, even.

    Imagine it. You'd just look at the zombies, shout "BANG" or "DIE" and they would explode.

  3. Re:DUCK HUNT!!!!1 on Gaming With a Headmouse? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, thats a good point. Not sure how good reactions are with a headmouse, but if you're interested in shooters such as Duck Hunt, but want something a little more complex, try House of the Dead 1, 2, and 3. Personally I think 2 was the best, with maybe the worst voice acting, too.

  4. Re:2x2 chess? on Computer Cracks 5x5 Go · · Score: 1

    I call white!

  5. Re:Mini-Martians? on Strange Mini Solar System Found · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    People want to quickly get first post while retaining their self respect. So they post a quick joke that they made up, that way they dont have to spend a decent amount of time thinking up an interesting or insightful reply.

  6. Re:That's how it works (Re:Holograph? ) on 6 Firms Form Holographic Versatile Disc Alliance · · Score: 0

    Basically the projected holograph at a different angle (or viewed at different angle) shows a different holographic pattern (i.e., from the front, you can see the princess's face. But from behind, her arse).

    *grin* Bwahaha... anyone else see Thumb Wars? :)

  7. Re:Hard disk bottleneck on 6 Firms Form Holographic Versatile Disc Alliance · · Score: 0

    That gives me a great idea of what to fill up my 1TB disk with, then!

  8. Arr on 6 Firms Form Holographic Versatile Disc Alliance · · Score: 1, Interesting

    How long before the xxAA guys shut this down as promoting piracy?

  9. Re:You want interoperability? on Bill Gates Claims OSS Has Poor Interoperability · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Uh.

    I think that was Mr. Gates point. If you dump Microsoft and use everything else, you lose interoperability with Microsoft products.

  10. Re:XHTML compliant? on MSN Search - From A UI Perspective · · Score: 1

    Hey. What the heck. Slashdot does that all the time to me, I thought it was just some strange thing that happened to me... Whats the deal with this? How come it only happens sometimes?

  11. Re:Volunteering... on U.S. Plans to Tighten Nuclear Power Plant Security · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Safety upgrades in nuclear power plants happen whenever somebody messes up, so that they don't mess up in the same way again. This upgrade is nothing surprising.

    I prefer it when they perform a safety upgrade before someone messes up...

  12. Re:Spyware on Exeem Open Beta Released · · Score: 1, Funny

    Hey! You graciously admitted defeat! What kind of slashdotter are you!?

  13. Re:IRC analysis fatally flawed on Is IRC All Bad? · · Score: 1, Funny

    In Slashdot IRC, the server slashdots YOU!

  14. Re:Even more code? on IBM Ordered to Show More Code to SCO · · Score: 0

    Is it even possible for SCO to suck more?

    Where there's a will...

  15. Re:64 Itanics! on BigTux Shows Linux Scales To 64-Way · · Score: 0

    Hahaha... no mod points to give but that's funny :) I'm sure other people will get the joke...

  16. Hmm on Independent Developer Projects in the Workplace? · · Score: 0, Troll

    20% of your time doing creative projects? Sounds like most people would spend it drinking beer.

  17. Re:Sits back, grabs a drink and.... on End Of Support for Windows NT 4.0 · · Score: 0

    Well... since we're blackcatting here...

    The electronics retailer I used to work at used Win3.11. And a year ago the local library upgraded - from an MS-DOS based system.

  18. Re:What about copyright issues? on Linux Powers Wireless Mesh Music System · · Score: 0

    Um... did you read the article? It's not a piece of software. It doesn't allow you to download music. It infringes on copyrights about the same way your existing stereo might... ie. none.

  19. Re:Scrollwheel looks familiar on Linux Powers Wireless Mesh Music System · · Score: 0

    I understand that they're aren't too happy but Sonos is not infringing on any patents.

  20. Re:Sync on Linux Powers Wireless Mesh Music System · · Score: 0

    Um. I'm not sure how, but I believe they do.

  21. Re:iPod on Linux Powers Wireless Mesh Music System · · Score: 0

    I think Apple has patented the scroll wheel for "portable music storage devices" or something along those lines.

    The remote doesn't store music, it just... we'll, it's a remote.

  22. Re:Hmmm? on Linux Powers Wireless Mesh Music System · · Score: 0

    AFAIK, Sonos uses 128bit encryption.

    I think the system is limited to 32 zone players. So as long as your dorm isn't too big...

  23. No Sonos? on CES Tidbits · · Score: 0

    I'm suprised I don't see any news about Sonos and their wireless music system. Uses a mesh network to wirelessly serve music from any networked device to any zone in your house. All controlled from either your PC or a wireless controller with full colour LCD. Certainly on my wish list... maybe we'll see a more complete round up of CES later.

  24. Re:Suggestion on Dead? Hope You Left Someone Your Passwords · · Score: 0

    I think his source was "Wives Tale, Old". Or was it "Myth, Urban"?

  25. Re:Big deal on TV Over Phone Lines To Arrive In 2005 · · Score: 0

    Thought that was because some white cop shot em?
