  1. I predict on Random Number Generator That Sees Into the Future · · Score: 1

    Using my random number generator, I predict that this story will be duplicated on slashdot.org in the next week or so.

  2. Re:Shallow article on US Ranking for Broadband Falls · · Score: 1

    Then how do you explain Canada?

    Canada is larger than the US, and it much better connected.

    Its geographic challenges are much more difficult to overcome than the US ones.

  3. Improves network performance on Nonlinear Neural Nets Smooth Wi-Fi Packets · · Score: 4, Funny

    But does this improved network performance allow me to predict if I will get a first post based on my past inability to do so?

  4. For Canadians, Red Flag Deals on Websites For The Frugal? · · Score: 3, Informative


    For Canadians, Red Flag Deals is a great site. Coupons, links to online deals, freebies, and forums.

    Right, "Ilha Formosa" isn't Dutch.

  10. Re:TAIWAN, Republic of CHINA on Design-Your-Own Computer Case Kits · · Score: 2, Informative

    People "in the know" should realize that Formosa was the Portuguese name for the island, not Dutch.

  11. Family Guy Bittorrents! on Fox Considering a Return of "Family Guy" · · Score: 1

    Where can we get these family guy episodes that everybody's talking about?

  12. Obligatory on Captured! By Robots - A Musical/Mechanical Marvel? · · Score: 3, Funny

  13. broken images? on GNU-Darwin: Three Years of Free Software Activism · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Is it just me or are the slashdot images all screwed up?

  14. If it's raw ethernet, then it's not "IP based" on HyperSCSI Examined · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The summary says "IP based" then "without the overhead of TCP/IP" and then "raw ethernet".

    Which one?

    Can't be both IP based and raw ethernet at the same time.

    You don't expect us to RTFA do you?

    The founders of AC Propulsion, based in San Dimas in the suburbs east of Los Angeles, seem to think that the lithium-ion batteries have led them to the holy grail of electric motoring: range and performance in one package.

  16. I could have had first post, but nooo... on Sluggish WiFi Connections Hurt Everyone · · Score: 5, Funny


    I could have had first post, but unfortunately, another user on this hotspot has caused the network to slow down for some reason.

  17. I'd buy one of these if it worked in Canada on New Linux PVR Box · · Score: 1

    I'd buy one of these in a flash if it worked in Canada. Same with the tivo, I'd love to have one if it worked with Canadian listings.

  18. Do they blame Safari for killing IE for Windows? on Microsoft Kills Off Mac IE, Blames Safari · · Score: 1

    Microsoft is killing IE. Period. Not killing IE for Mac or Windows or Unix or anything.

    See this article. It just looks like MS isn't making IE anymore for any platform.

  19. How about Canada? on America's Broadband Dream Is Alive-- In Korea · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The U.S. is a lot more spread out than Korea, though -- some American cities are pretty well connected.

    From what I gather, DSL and Cable is cheaper and more available in Canada than in the US. And we know that Canada is much more "spread out" than the US. So that's not the reason at all.

    I don't understand why Americans are so against government intervention in this area. It's not so evil or communist to have the government subsidize, legislate or otherwise help create infrastructure. Nobody calls the US interstate highway system "communist" or "socialist" because the government built it. Besides, who paid for ARPANET in the first place? What ARPANET communist?

  20. Re:what happens? on HTML Rendering Crashes IE · · Score: 4, Funny

    It generates an e-mail to Steve Balmer.

    That's why he freaks out sometimes and starts screaming DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS!!

  21. Dude The Hulk can fly! on New Trailer for The Hulk · · Score: 1

    Feral Robot Dog? I had a girlfriend like that once...

  23. Yeah, like Dvorak has ever been right about Apple on Dvorak Thinks Apple Will Switch to Intel · · Score: 1

    Yeah, like Dvorak has ever been right about Apple. He was the guy who said that the mouse would fail, that nobody would ever want to use 3.5" floppies, that a GUI was more confusing than a command-line, especially for beginners.

    No, Dvorak has never been right about anything. In fact, when he comes out and says something very strongly, you can bet that the exact opposite will happen.

    So, following the Dvorak has never been right about anything logic -- Apple will NOT switch to Intel CPUs.

  24. Re:Is this the same Al Gore that sold us out? on Al Gore Joins Apple's Board Of Directors · · Score: 1


    Yeah, I agree. Afterall, George W. Bush uses a Mac too. He's certainly contributing to what is wrong in America.

  25. what's with googlesyndication? on How Google Grows...and Grows...and Grows · · Score: 1

    I've been seeing ads everywhere (including slashdot), that use "pageads.googesyndication.com" as their URL. They're frames (or iframes or something), with a bunch of textads.
