  1. "dumper" on Night Vision Scope From Scavenged Parts · · Score: 1

    Why isn't anyone asking why he is searching through a "dumper" in the first place???

  2. Re:in all fairness on Web-Only Album Wins Grammy · · Score: 0

    WO!!! Metallica has NEVER worn make-up. Just because they had long hair doesn't mean they were KISS :)

  3. Re: that's nice on Web-Only Album Wins Grammy · · Score: 5, Informative

    Ah, but the significance is that the Grammys are based strictly on sales. Whoever sells the most albums gets a Grammy, period.

    Not according to their web site, where it basically states the the awards are based on a multi-tiered voting process.

  4. Starbucks on Web-Only Album Wins Grammy · · Score: 0

    OTOH, an album that sold over 500,000 copies through Starbucks alone won 8 Grammys...

  5. Re:Monorail? on Miguel de Icaza Talks About Mono · · Score: 0

    Looks like I could use them, since non-Simpsons fans are modding it off-topic...

  6. A few other ideas... on The Cure for Cancer Might be: HIV · · Score: 0

    I have a few other ideas as to how to kill cancer:
    Jump off of a bridge
    Head-on collision with a tractor-trailer
    Rip off the mafia

  7. Monorail? on Miguel de Icaza Talks About Mono · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Mono?

    This sounds more like a Shelbyville idea...

  8. Forget the computer thingy... on A Model Railroad That Computes · · Score: 4, Funny

    This layout is horrible! Get some trees in there! Some buildings? This guy made up the computer idea to hide the fact that he couldn't use plaster-of-Paris.

  9. Re:Happy Valentine's Day! on A Model Railroad That Computes · · Score: 1

    Wow, timely for two reasons and funny :)

  10. Blame unsecured Windows! on Identity Theft of Many SAIC Employees · · Score: 3, Funny

    He said the successful theft of personal data, by thieves who smashed windows to gain access

    It looks like Microsoft will be blamed again!

  11. Re:Penalties on Norway Considers New Copyright Laws · · Score: 1

    I believe that they chop off your hand...

  12. Here's a thought... on Does the Octopus Hold the Key To Robot Design? · · Score: 1

    Are you telling me that an animal has to be very intelligent to not tangle its arms? Are you kidding me? It sounds like instinct or common sense, to me...

  13. Re:Sirius sucks on Sirius Confirms iPod Satellite Talks · · Score: 1

    XM has spoken with Apple. The CEO stated it the other day, saying that he didn't feel that he needed to announce it at a conference (like Sirius' Mel Karmazin did).

    From yesterday's press release:
    On a conference call with analysts, XM chief executive Hugh Panero said he was optimistic that "the potential market for satellite radio is far greater than previously thought or currently modeled by most analysts." Panero added that XM had talked with Apple Computer Inc. chief executive Steve Jobs about the possibility of marrying satellite radio with Apple's popular iPod digital music player, and that Jobs rejected the idea. Sirius on Wednesday said it received a similar response. "(Apple) said on these convergence issues, they feel that they're happy where they are," Panero said. (Jobs) said he's willing to be wrong and time will tell."

  14. Re:I think it's a mistake on Sirius Confirms iPod Satellite Talks · · Score: 1

    XM has its satellites Rock & Roll aimed at the east and west costs of the US...

  15. Opportunity for everyone else on Sirius Confirms iPod Satellite Talks · · Score: 1

    Who cares is Apple doesn't want to work with Sirius or XM? This is an opportunity for any mp3 player manufacturer to create a product that will differentiate it from IPods. I'd bet that the other players -- IRiver, Creative, etc -- are talking to satellite radio providers. This will happen, eventually, and Apple will lose out.

  16. Re:Be calm, relax, things aren't that bad... on Following the Chips in Wynn's New Casino · · Score: 1

    Eh, it isn't like you can get parking at some of the parking lots after 9 a.m., anyway :)

  17. Lies! on Following the Chips in Wynn's New Casino · · Score: 1

    I think it is a lie! They are just saying that they'll RFID their chips for two reasons. The first is to increase security by scaring people, and the second is to get free publicity. So, they get two windfalls (security, publicity) for nothing! Profit!

  18. Re:Good riddance to bad rubbish. on HP CEO Carly Fiorina to Step Down · · Score: 1

    Thank god your not the CEO.

    Thank God you're not, either!

  19. Re:Carly Fiorina, Serial Research Slayer on HP CEO Carly Fiorina to Step Down · · Score: 1

    It's the disadvantage at being judged short-term (quarterly) versus the long view the Japan takes...it takes a good leader to not bow under pressure to quarterly results and have a good long-term strategy.

  20. Re:And don't forget the HP iPod on HP CEO Carly Fiorina to Step Down · · Score: 2, Funny

    What happened to innovation? They decided that "invent" would be their ad slogan. And that's about it.

  21. Re:That's too bad on HP CEO Carly Fiorina to Step Down · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, this is a step backwards towards the glass ceiling...because her decisions didn't work, not because people were out to get her.

  22. 24! on China to Pioneer Melt-Down Proof Reactors · · Score: 1

    Wow, if we had this now, the entire plotline of this year's 24 would be unbelievable.

  23. Re:Not really a true argument on Fans Attempting to Pay for Enterprise · · Score: 1

    I think that The Pretender had to have a mini-series or made-for-TV movie to wrap things up, as well...

  24. I've got faith... on Fans Attempting to Pay for Enterprise · · Score: 1

    How much would the rights to the wonderful theme song cost?

  25. Slashdot revolt! on Fans Attempting to Pay for Enterprise · · Score: 1

    When a majority of Slashdot posters are making fun of some Star Trek fans, you know that this is crazy idea :)
