  1. Re:Why not trade? on School May Turn Down $43K In Free Macs · · Score: 1

    Because at that point they would get a bill for $43,000.

    Apple is giving them the computers to use not to give away for something else.

  2. Read my Review on Review: Matrix: Reloaded · · Score: 1
  3. Great on Red Vs. Blue - A Halo Fan Flick · · Score: 0

    There goes there servers.

    It was Fark one week that killed their bandwidth now it is Slashdot.

  4. Error in article on Psychology of a Programmer · · Score: 1

    There is a severe infinite loop that occurs when my manager reads this paragraph:

    I know what you'll argue: Think of the expense! If that was the first thought in your head, then you've missed the whole point of this column. Start again at the top, and pay attention this time.

    He has been reading this article for a couple hours now!

  5. My Favorite on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1

    PCU

  6. Re:Only a portion of the W3C on MS Withdraws From WC3 Web Services Working Group · · Score: 1

    They are just pulling out of the Web Services group.

  7. Re:couple of notes on Spider-Man Has Back Problems · · Score: 1

    Actually it is a story for MediaGab.

  8. I have to agree with the author of the book on Software Craftsmanship · · Score: -1

    pay talented staff extremely well, perhaps even more than managers

    I am all about getting paid more. That is the best idea ever. I should buy this book for my boss ;-)

  9. XSS on Professional Apache Security · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I guess I need to learn more about Cross-site Scripting. I have heard of it before and am not real sure of what it is and how it works. I think this book would be good just for that topic alone.

    Anyone have any links on this topic?

  10. Re:As an American programmer on PHP4 Web Development Solutions · · Score: 0

    As an American your an embarassment to the rest of us Americans!

  11. Good Review but... on PHP4 Web Development Solutions · · Score: 4, Informative

    I think this is good review, better then most that appear here. I think one thing that was left out of this review is more of what is covered in the book. What exactly are you getting? Code examples from projects like PostNuke? What kind of code sample are there? I guess the answer specifically wasn't answered as to what exactly is in the book. I think that kind of information could of been provided into the review without going beyond what a review should cover.

    It is nice to see a review of a Wrox book on slashdot. Many review of Wrox books are always about how it is difficult to read because of the many authors that have a hand in the book. Sounds like a well written book maybe even good enough to buy.

  12. Thanks for the Article on The Tyranny of Email · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Thanks for the article. I forwarded the URL, in an e-mail, to all my co-workers.

  13. The cost on World's First Double-Arm Transplant · · Score: -1, Redundant

    You know what the cost for something like this is? ..........an arm and a leg!

  14. My Washing Machine on Technologies that Have Exceeded Their Expectations? · · Score: 1

    I inherited my current washing machine from grandparents after they had passed. It was built in 1965. It is a Sears Kenmore. I just can't believe that something like that has lasted 40 years.

  15. Clever Spam on An IMDb for Books · · Score: 1

    Sounds like clever spam to me. My site MediaGab could really use more reviews, more users talking about the stories and most of all more people buying products to support my site. Maybe I should submit a story to slashdot for help.

    mediagab.com is modeled after slashdot in terms of how the site functions but its audience is those who are looking for Entertainment news and reviews on media (Books, movies, music). Since I am spamming you might as well check it out.

    But back on topic here, I hope that iblist.com works out for them. Maybe if they offer a synopsis of each book (via ISBN) available to other sites via XML I might include them in my book listings with a link to their site.

  16. Review on The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay · · Score: 1

    I think this review delved to much on the plot of the book and not enough on the thoughts the reviewer had about the book. Or it was lost in the babble that I just read. Frankly I didn't understand half of it.

  17. Re:sunlight... on On Decorating Your Computer Room? · · Score: 1

    Whacha you talking about Willis?

  18. Re:Interesting on The Space Elevator · · Score: 1

    Gravity still plays a role on the ISS. It sinks so many feet everyday. Eventually the ISS needs to boost itself back up. Usually this is done by the space shuttle. Sometimes as in the instance after the shuttle accident it needed to boost itself by use of a capsule booster.

  19. Re:Possible Applications on The Space Elevator · · Score: 1

    7. New MGM ride "Tower of Terror 2"

  20. Awesome on Slashdot Subscribers Now See The Future · · Score: 5, Insightful

    But..
    Another possible feature addition that we're discussing is to allow subscribers to post during this window. We haven't decided if that's a good idea or not. Since subscribers are still subject to all the same restrictions as anyone else in the forums, they could still be moderated into oblivion if they were jerks about it so it's probably not subject to all that much abuse, but this is still something we're only considering. Feel free to discuss it in this forum, or to contact me with opinions.

    I don't think that is a good idea. I think the fact that users can read ahead of time and then they can prepare their posts. This might make better prepared comments.

  21. Interesting on The Space Elevator · · Score: 1

    I know this subject has been cover before on slashdot. I think the idea is awesome. Of course I can't figure out how this all works I assume that the tip of the elevator would have to be massive and be travelling pretty fast. It would eventually sink back down to Earth just like the ISS does (it needs a boost back up every now and then).

    Maybe this sounds like a great book to understand all that. I might just go pick one up here.

  22. Re:How come arcades died but movie theaters lived? on Xbox Coming to Arcades · · Score: 1

    allowing you to pay just a fraction of a dollar to play for a few minutes

    Apparently you haven't been to an arcade recently. Arcade games now a days, especially the good ones, Cost anywhere from $1 to $2 for a few minutes of "cost raping" fun. So for $7.75 I can go and get entertained for 2-3 hours (or 4 if you want to sit through Gods and Generals, but is that movie really entertaining) or I can go to an arcade an blow $10 in a matter of 15 minutes. Honestly I would have a much better time paying to go see a movie like "Old School" then to pay outragous prices to play a few video games. Besides that I like to be able to beat a game at my own pace sitting down.

  23. Security on Firewalls and Internet Security, 2nd Ed. · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Man what is with the rash of security books out lately? It's like as if there is a new sendmail bug out or something...what?....Oh.

    Well then go here to get the book and secure up your networks! Entertainment News anyone?

  24. Company use on Quake II Mods for Engineering Students · · Score: 1

    I used the Quake 3 Engine to mock up the floor plan of our new office building we were moving into so that others could see what we were moving into. It was crude and small but it was well received.

  25. $.99? on Apple to Launch Music Service? · · Score: 1

    $.99 a song with the ability to burn to CD doesn't sound too bad

    Where did this come from? THe article doesn't mention anything about prices per song downloaded.

    Also the service will only be available to Apple Machintosh and iPod owners. so in essence to the 97% who don't own Apple products this is worthless.
