  1. Re:They are spending money and we arent gettin a c on States Seeking Levies on Digital Downloads · · Score: 1

    Unless he was mowing the IRS guy's lawn, how in the world was he discovered? I make hundreds of dollars each summer mowing lawns.

  2. Re:Had it for about 6 months on Gmail Gets RSS · · Score: 1

    I've had it for a while too, which makes me wonder what I'm missing now.

  3. Re:I "hate" Christians... on The ESRB Gets An 'F' · · Score: 1

    1. Serve God first (not the flag, not your boss, not the IRS, not your family) In what brainwashed world is God more important then family? Most people would die to protect their loved ones. Most (sane) people would not die for their god -- although the current situation in the Middle East seems to defy this logic. I would argue that most truly religious people would die for their god. I know I would - and I'd like to think I'm sane. From a religious standpoint, nothing is more important than God. That's not to say that family isn't important - just that a relationship with an omnipotent being is more so.

  4. Re:many special cases to ponder on Cell Phones Learn to Recognize Their Owners' Faces · · Score: 1

    Even cellphones without service plans can call 911 - so I see a bruised accident victim successfully completing an emergency call.

  5. Re:I don't get the point of no retail but... on 64-Bit Windows Releases Now Available · · Score: 1

    That means, us designers who like to use Photoshop or just play games (that don't run on linux that is) can finally put our 64-bit processor to some good use.

    I assume you're aware that Photoshop is available for OS X? They've had 64-bit systems for quite a while now (and Photoshop works on Macs). Something to consider, at least.

  6. Re:Fingerprints on IRS Employees Fall For Hackers · · Score: 1

    What happens when someone cuts off your fingers to get access?

  7. Strength? on Instant Buildings - Just Add Water · · Score: 1

    How sturdy are they?

  8. Re:Flickr has huge potential on The Peculiar World of Web Photo Sharing · · Score: 2, Informative

    Flickr is also cross platform and cross browser.

    Every now and then they mess with the servers, though, so there is some downtime. When it is working, though (which is most of the time) it works beautifully.

  9. Flickr on The Peculiar World of Web Photo Sharing · · Score: 1

    Like a few others have said, I highly recommend Flickr.

    I have a paid account, and it's well worth the money. It's the only online service I've ever paid for, and I don't regret it.

    You can check out my photos if you want. Interested in what's going on in a Science and Tech magnet high school?

  10. Re:Intelligent Design vs Darwinism? Or both? on Digital Life and Evolution · · Score: 1

    Perhaps God is outside of time?

    Flipping through time like a book, backwards and forwards and maybe looking at every page at once (take the bindings out).
    Perhaps.

  11. Re:If music stores still exist... on The Death of the Music CD · · Score: 1

    As far as I know, Best Buy already offers something very similar to that.

    I don't know the details, but I saw something in a store once.

  12. Off topic, but I don't really care. on Google Eyes Domain Registration Market · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I love Google...

    What else is new?

  13. Re:..."Study"? on P2P Manifesto:Peer To Peer Study/Project · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm not sure what you did in high school, but this sounds more like 6th grade writing. Even the ninth graders at my school would laugh at this.

  14. Re:Apples and Oranges on Game Industry Bigger Than Hollywood · · Score: 1

    Actually... many people do. I know I have.

  16. Re:My thoughts. on DJB Announces 44 Security Holes In *nix Software · · Score: 1

    In my area, the grading scale would be

    10 bugs = A
    9 bugs = B+
    8 bugs = C+
    7 bugs = D+
    6 bugs or below = Fail

  20. Re:windows assist and voice on Easy to Use Mice for Handicapped Persons? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Or he could buy a Mac... Tiger's going to have voice support built in (to a greater extent than Panther does), and he gets the benefit (never thought I'd be saying this) of an Apple mouse.

  21. A better use? on Fun with Prime Numbers · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Why not put those CPU cycles to good use with something like Folding@Home?

    Excuse my ignorance, but what are extremely large primes used for?

  22. Re:Think of the prestige! on Study Recommends Mac OS X as Safest OS · · Score: 1

    Although getting one machine infected to start this could be difficult.

    Assuming a cracker has a Mac to develop the virus on, he could just seed it with that.

  23. Re:Misson Accomplished!! on U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft Resigns · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm not even going to bother trying to understand that...

    Ok... I concede defeat. Major combat operations have ended on Slashdot... (crosses fingers)

    I was just passing along the dinnertime conversation - apparently no one in my family has done their research.

  24. Re:Misson Accomplished!! on U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft Resigns · · Score: 1

    I'm not saying it wasn't used by Bush to mean we were finished in Iraq - just that that was not it's original intent.

  25. Re:Misson Accomplished!! on U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft Resigns · · Score: 3, Informative

    Coincidentally, my dad's friend from work ate dinner with him today, and this came up at the conversation.

    Both of the aforementioned men are in the Navy, and our guest knew someone on the Lincoln that day. The "Mission Accomplished" banner was actually meant for the crew members of the ship - they had just finished their nine month stint away from home, and had "accomplished" their mission. It wasn't meant for Bush's visit.
