    Spanky Ham: "Nothing reminds me of my first time like a chick crying..."

  2. Re:Whew! on Vista Makes CNET UK's List of "Worst Consumer Tech" · · Score: 2, Informative

    The Ergo 4000 keyboard is the best thing to happen to my wrists in a long, long time. Now if I could just get a vertical mouse that doesn't look retarded...

  3. Did Episode III redeem the series? on When Did Star Wars Jump the Shark? · · Score: 1
  4. Re:KDE vs Gnome on KDE 4.0 RC 1 Released · · Score: 1

    I just switched back from Kubuntu (7.10) to Ubuntu after getting sick of all the bugs - Dolphin wouldn't save bookmarks even after I fixed up the permissions on the bookmarks file, k3b kept crashing every time I tried to burn a data-DVD, the settings manager crashed several times whilst I was just browsing through settings, there was the Kopete issue where it crashed every time it tried to connect to MSN, the list goes on.

    Now, some of these issues got fixed, and I did contribute logs/backtraces to the bug reports already filed for others, and this being my first time with KDE I *do* actually like using it - It's pretty and configurable, and the Monochrome icon theme totally does it for me. I just wish it was more stable.

    Is there a KDE-centric distro that has a bit more polish, or should I wait until there's a Kubuntu release with KDE 4.1 or whatever? I haven't looked at XFCE or any of the others yet, but I'm not exactly a power user and GNOME is winning plenty of Just Works points right now.

  5. Re:You know what else needs a zero refresh rate? on Amazon's Ebook The Future of Reading? · · Score: 1

    Sorry, that's a violation of Apple's Cover Flow patent. Please stop turning pages immediately.

    A few feet from your face, there is a Slashdot article about a round thing. Are you getting sprung?

  8. Re:So... on US, Aussie Officials Yank GHB-Producing Toys · · Score: 1

    I love how they say "It's not clear..." immediately before making it crystal-clear.

  9. Re:Idiocracy! on Students In UK Tracked With RFID Chips · · Score: 1

    This is a gateway to getting fucked on all holes! "Uh... This goes in your mouth. This one goes in your ear. And this one goes in your butt. (Joe puts wires in, machine beeps) Shit. Hang on a second. This one... Uh... This one... this one goes in your mouth..."
  10. Yo Arcade repository on What Are The Best Free Games Online? · · Score: 1

    http://64.72.125.183/~yoarcade/flashgames2

    Repository with a bunch of great (and not-so-great) Flash games, with the added advantage of not being blocked by my work proxy like all the other gaming sites. I highly recommend Bowmaster Prelude, and Tactical Assassin is fun, if short. Enjoy!

    ...who also received far more rough treatment. Proof that defilement of corpses is a naturally evolved trait.
  12. Re:More data needed. on 38% of Downloaders Paid For Radiohead Album · · Score: 1

    Done it, and done it better. Saul Williams had an explicitly free (as opposed to pay how much you want to) 192kb download, or $5 for the user's choice of 192, 320, or FLAC.

    I got the FLAC version, and I reckon it was worth the cost of download for the title track alone. His cover of U2's Sunday, Bloody Sunday is also brilliant.

  13. Re:One thing they didn't account for on 38% of Downloaders Paid For Radiohead Album · · Score: 1

    Already done, to a degree - OK Go got a massive amount of free/viral publicity thanks to Youtube and their video for Here It Goes Again.

  14. Re:tech innovation? on Former Intel CEO Rips Medical Research · · Score: 1

    Watch out for DRM restrictions, you could get sued every time you swap fluids with someone.

  16. Re:Politics on Australian Researcher Boosts ADSL Speeds · · Score: 1

    From the sounds of it a lot of you would be better off with that.

  17. Re:Wikipedia on Students Assigned to Write Wikipedia Articles · · Score: 1

    just want to search random words and follow wiki links when you're bored.

    Also referred to as wikidiving. My favourite method is picking two unrelated topics of interest and trying to get from one to the other via internal links, reading every article along the way. It as good a method as any for acquiring a well-rounded education.

  18. Re:Answer on Anti-Terrorism and the Death of the Chemistry Set · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you have a bulletproof vest, but the bullets start ignoring it for the sake of making holes in you, it ain't bulletproof.

    No it's still correct, in that they have been mounted with guns. It's the same syntax as, say, ginseng-infused underwear.

    Thanks! I'm not 100% sure, but that may actually be the first time I've ever memed on /. Glad it wasn't too obvious =)
