  1. Re:Um...no on 100-Year Domain Renewals? · · Score: 0

    Other way around. Buying something today for $10 is far better than buying it 10 years from now for $10. Its the whole "buy with cheaper dollars" thing that they teach you in accounting. Think about it, would you like to buy gas at 1970 prices today? I sure would.

    This is Slashdot. You don't have to read the article.


    See?


    I totally disagree with every point you've just made,
    will go into great detail about why I think you're
    wrong, and as an aside cast inferances on your lineage.

    And I'll point out your grammer and speeling mistakes, while makeing some of my own!

  6. What I want to know... on Google's Bigger Index · · Score: 5, Interesting

    ...is how to get rid of those pseudo-pages in Google. The ones with names like "thing_that_youre_searching_for.html", and all they are is either a page of dead links to crap on ebay, or a "Hey, we do great searches for your stuff".

    We call Colorado "New California."

    And when you talk to people from Colorado, they call the influx the "Californication" of Colorado. They are NOT looked upon nicely by natives.

  14. This kind of subliminal stuff works on Sweet Dreams Are Made By This · · Score: 1

    When I was a kid, I got Risk for my birthday. That night, I read the rulebook into my tape recorder (we had studied subliminal suggestions science recently, I recall), and put it on a light timer to come on in the early morning. Next day, I understood the game. I assume that this was partly due to me reading the ENTIRE rulebook (how many kids do that?) and partly the subliminal recording.

    Yea, but I won't want to renew the tag for my out-of-style pants, so thats a bonus! The scanning system will even tell me when I can't wear my pants anymore.

    Who needs style when technology can do it for me!

  22. Any OS projects for this? on Creative Recycling: Dumpster Diving · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Basically, the Wallflower displays are Web servers that appear on a Windows desktop as disk drives?you put one on your network and you can just drag pictures onto it, and call up its internal home page to manage its settings. Now you have a nice big electronic photo frame to show your digital pictures, and changing the display is as easy as typing a URL into your home computer.

    Sounds like a cool project. Anyone in the OpenSource community done one?
