  1. Cool on Good IC / Electronic Component Inventory Software? · · Score: 1

    Cool, man. I like electronics, too.

  2. Re:Now it makes sense on XKCD Invited To New Yorker "Cartoon-Off" · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing you're a blast at parties.

  3. Late .02 on MySpace Suicide Charges Threaten Free Speech · · Score: 1

    In bygone days, someone that acted with that kind of premeditated malice would have quickly found their throat slit. How can anyone condone that kind of behaviour against a fellow human being? It's obviously wrong, there's no point arguing free speech or whatnot. Allowing this kind of behaviour keeps the human race behind. It seems like society is fine with realizing and punishing physical behaviours, but it's going to take recognition of mental aspects if we are going to continue to grow.

  4. Obligatory DX1 links on Deus Ex 3 Announced · · Score: 1

    Project HDTP: better looking textures
    enhanced OpenGL renderer: allows the game to take advantage of your newer card
    Shifter mod: adds some gameplay tweaks

    I'd like to add "conversation logs" to the DX3 xmas list.

  5. Happy Birthday on Slashdot Turns 10 But You Get The Presents · · Score: 1

    Been lurking and enjoying since 98
    Happy Birthday /.
    Thanks for the laughs and education

  6. One day on Fantasy Author Robert Jordan Passes Away · · Score: 1

    I will read the entire series in a week, no matter how much crystal I need.
    I have great memories of being 15 and reading the first 3 books in marathon cover to
    cover sessions, enthralled with the world created. I ended up stopping after book 6,
    having enjoyed it, but, like friends sometimes do, we just drifted apart.
    Thankfully, I didn't have to endure the decline that so many fans lament. It happens
    in art all the time, although I agree with an earlier post that editors and
    publishers should take most of the blame.

  7. "Boot to the head!" on An Ode To Al · · Score: 1

    Fond 80's memories

  8. Re:Did the same thing as a student on Migrating Birds Take Hundreds of Powernaps. · · Score: 1

    Wish I had some points

  9. Re:Memory features on Thunderbird 2.0 Alpha 1, Firefox 1.5.0.5 Available · · Score: 1
  10. Re:Ok Where are the E.T.s on New Large Rocky Planet Found · · Score: 1

    Looking near the star 18 Scorpii seems to be very promising, from the limited wiki reading I've done. The star is a "solar twin" to our sun.

  11. Some ideas for not going hungry on Playing the World From a Basement · · Score: 1

    You could always try...

    1. Giving away good bitrate copies of albums (people will just rip them anyways)

    2. Sell your music on records / LPs / vinyl. There are alot of people willing to shell out $ for some wax. The album artwork is so much better at 12"x12", too.

    3. Point out to fans on your site that this is your career, and since you're a starving artist letting your music echo through the ether, they can feel free to toss some donations into the proverbial case

  12. Re:I wonder if... on Site tracks F/OSS coding bounties · · Score: 1

    What does your me think of the idea?

  13. MOD++ on Universal to Offer its Movies Online · · Score: 1

    Note to self, watch it again when you have the time.

  14. Bad Idea on HP Fires Father of OOP · · Score: 4, Funny

    Reminds me of the "Bad Idea Jeans" SNL commercial

  15. OpenBSD Zaurus port on Linux PDA Resurfaces in U.S. · · Score: 5, Informative

    also making progress

  16. Re:Eiger and Monch... on Microsoft to Release a Thin-Client Windows XP · · Score: 1

    OT but somewhat related; check out Canadian fiction author Robertson Davies

  17. Re:acid challenge on Opera Lays Down Acid2 Challenge · · Score: 1
